Easy pickup, even easier dropoff, and great car condition!

Almost all the rental and return staff are Indian, it felt like I was in India. However, the service was thorough, fast, and polite, as expected from Hertz.

When picking up the car, I was told that there were no Corolla hatchbacks available, and I was given a Kia Cerato instead. However, when I went to the parking lot with the key, I saw several Corolla hatchbacks that I had booked on the ZUZUCHE website. When I asked the Hertz staff to switch, I was told those Corollas were all reserved. Are customers booking through the ZUZUCHE website treated differently than those booking directly with Hertz? I don't want to rent a car this way again!

The service was quite enthusiastic. The entire process took about half an hour, and I waited in line behind three people. When inspecting the car, I found a small dent under the trunk. I informed the Hertz staff, and they indicated that such a small scratch, about the size of a finger, was not an issue. Later, I saw in the rental documentation from Hertz that it specifies the size of damage that requires a claim.

They didn't provide the reserved model. I booked a Yaris, but got an i30 instead. No special explanation, but I accepted it. Overall, it went smoothly.
