Complaint about the Chinese female clerk at Melbourne Airport branch on December 26th around 6-7 pm! The child seat was clearly reserved through the Car Rental platform, but upon arrival at the store, they said it wasn't reserved. It was already past 7 pm, and we had to drive out to buy one. Additionally, she did not inform me to inspect the car condition beforehand, nor did she allow me to check it myself before signing the rental agreement. As a result, I signed the order without seeing the car, and did not notice the pre-existing scratch on the right side of the car's front. Because we were in a hurry to buy a safety seat, there was no time to take photos of the car, which caused the store to blame me for the scratch on the left side of the car when returning it. Moreover, due to the New Year’s Eve event on December 31st, I called in the morning to say I would return the car in the evening, but I wasn't informed about the road closures. This led to a futile trip to return the car, and I had to pay an extra day's rental to return it the next day. Extremely dissatisfied with Hertz's overall service attitude!

The car was good. Although it was the specified model, we got upgraded to a Mitsubishi SUV at the store. The service staff were very friendly. We rented a child seat, which was quite spacious, so it was still cramped for a family of five. The on-site charges were about $40 more than the price listed on the rental website. There were many items listed, likely fees and not taxes! But I still don't understand why. When asked, customer service said it's the $75 child seat tax. Do you assume customers don't understand English?!
