To avoid renting a 5 2 small 7-seater MPV, I specifically chose one of the only two large MPVs on the ZuZuCar website offered by Hertz (Citroen Spacetourer manual or similar). But at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 when signing the rental contract, I was given a Volkswagen Sharan (UH60 BB VW SHARAN GPS BVA), a typical 5 2 7-seater, which can't fit five 20-inch suitcases when seating five adults and a child. After repeatedly requesting a larger model, they said there were none available, and the only option was to pay more for a 9-seater. Looking at Hertz's model card on-site, the I group doesn't even have the Sharan. Is this compact 5 2 MPV really what ZuZuCar considers a large MPV?

The customer before us took an hour to process, causing a late pick-up for us.

The whole car rental process was pretty good. The specific model I reserved wasn't available, so they offered a different car of the same class. However, I had to go to the garage to pick it up and wait. After a long wait, they finally found a car in the parking lot, which was the same model I reserved, a Golf, but it was a diesel TDI version. This car was really great, with quick acceleration and strong pull-back feeling. What surprised me the most was its incredible fuel efficiency; I only used one and a half tanks of fuel for 2051 kilometers, which is unbelievable!!! Additionally, returning the car was a bit troublesome mainly because the roads around Charles de Gaulle Airport are very complicated and almost made me dizzy. But I eventually found the rental return point, and the return process was simple and quick, so overall it was good.

The lady at the front desk in France was really nice and efficient. The first car we got was an Opel, but the trunk was too small. After mentioning it to the front desk, they swapped it for a Nissan, which was still small, but we didn't want to complain further, so we made do. So, don't pick up your car at 8 AM! It's very important. They tend to give you less desirable models first. My luggage, which was 26 and 22 inches, couldn't fit in the trunk, one had to be placed in the front seat.
