Delayed giving the car by five hours, causing a day's itinerary to be wasted

Booked to pick up the car at 9 AM, arrived at the counter at 9:30 and was told no cars were available, had to wait for an hour. At 10:30, there were still issues, and I didn't get the car until 11. It took an extra hour and a half in total, very frustrating.

Hertz's service is very standardized, but the efficiency of car pickup is not very high. I waited for an hour at their Union Square location to get the car. The vehicle had less than 5000 kilometers, was clean and very new. However, I booked an Altima Classic online but received a Versa Classic instead. Not sure if these two cars are considered 'same class,' although the latter was sufficient, its power and space are noticeably less. It's worth mentioning that the car return efficiency was extremely high. At the huge Hertz return area at Los Angeles airport, the staff checked the car in 2 minutes and then a shuttle bus took me back to my hotel near the airport. Overall, quite satisfied.

Very convenient. Initially, they only asked for the online order printout and then requested the return slip, but there was no need for a translated driver's license. The staff were very friendly. I mentioned that I needed a car with a USB port, and they patiently searched the system for several minutes to find one. The vehicle was brand new, having only driven about 300 miles. Picking up the car was also very convenient, right in the hotel's garage.

car boot space was large and vehicle was spacious, although vehicle exterior appears abit old. pick up location could be abit clearer (e.g. hertz rental booth inside the hotel)
