California-Arizona-New Mexico Road Trip

The promised car model was not available at pickup. Only small Hyundai models were available, which was disappointing and seemed suspicious. It's rare for none of the five promised models to be available.

The Hertz agent was very dishonest. They tried every possible way to make the renters spend more. Despite having bought full coverage insurance through ZuzuCar, the Hertz agent sneakily added several unnecessary insurances like theft insurance, glass breakage insurance, and tire insurance during our conversation, without informing me. I rented the car for 30 days and spent 11,000 on ZuzuCar. However, after returning the car, I discovered an additional 4400 charge for Hertz insurance. Renting insurance from them is a scam. It's better not to buy any insurance from ZuzuCar in the first place.

Long waiting time in line

The Hertz Los Angeles Airport location is actually a bit far. Though I originally reserved a 4Runner and saw many of them at the pickup location, they wouldn't give me one. Instead, they gave me a Nissan Pathfinder, but the paperwork wasn't completed properly. When I went back to the counter to sort it out, they inexplicably made me switch cars or pay more money. The whole process took over an hour, and the counter staff weren't very friendly.

Great service
