Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco

During the paperwork process, the Hertz agent from Asia had a constant smile but also tried to persuade me to buy additional insurance and even encouraged an upgrade. Even though I had already purchased full insurance, he still claimed that I didn’t have roadside assistance. After repeatedly emphasizing that I had bought all the necessary insurance, he finally directed me to the car lot. Be cautious, as this is another potential pitfall. There were about five or six different cars parked, but only two of them were actually available for me. The others required an upgrade (if you accidentally took one, you might get stopped when leaving, wasting a lot of time). After taking several photos and confirming repeatedly, I finally got my car (there was no Ford Focus as I had reserved). Instead, I got a Kia Forte, which turned out to be nice to drive with lane-keeping assist. Driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was stress-free. American drivers are very disciplined, making the experience very enjoyable.

車自体のメカニカルな状態は良かったが、内外装が少し汚なかったのが残念でした。 ガソリン満タン貸し/満タン返しの契約でしたが、最初借りた時fuelゲージが8/10くらいになっていて、満タン貸しの状態ではなかったのも残念。

Overall service attitude was quite good, but there was constant upselling for a vehicle upgrade, claiming we had too much luggage and that the Ford Focus was too small, recommending a larger vehicle, which we firmly refused. In reality, the car we rented was in zone 3 area, where other cars like CRV4 and Nissan were also available. Therefore, it was possible to get a better car than what we had booked. It was raining heavily, and we didn't bother to choose carefully. The exterior looked fairly new, so we didn't switch. It had around 30,000 to 40,000 miles.

Many service counters

The service was excellent, and the staff provided thorough explanations.
