Average attitude

Long waiting time aside, they insisted on giving me an upgrade saying my two suitcases wouldn’t fit in the Fiat 500 I originally booked. They wouldn’t even let me check the car. Instead, they forced the upgrade and charged me an extra 25 Euros per day, claiming it was a good discount, which doubled my original cost. I had to accept it because I was in a hurry. I chose to return the car in downtown Paris. The train station is in an underground parking garage, but this was not mentioned on the document. I ended up driving around Paris streets several times.

The service attitude is acceptable, but the hidden fees are high. 1. The 20% tax is not mentioned in advance; 2. The provided GPS hasn't been updated for 31 months, some routes are not found, and some lead to wrong-way entries; 3. The GPS caused unnecessary detours, leading to exceeding the daily mileage limit, which is very high at 0.84 Euros per kilometer. It's outright robbery. Never using this company again.

The store is easy to find. It's right there as soon as you come out with your luggage. The staff was also very friendly. Despite my poor English, the car pickup went smoothly.

There is no way to communicate with them France Hertz because some problem in their call routing process. Informed India Hertz and US Hertz too. But they could not help. Also road side assistance there is no response in France
