Booked a Volkswagen Caddy medium MPV, but the car provided was in very poor condition, and the last row of seats couldn't be folded down. They then offered a Ford Galaxy for an additional £250, claiming it was a different class of vehicle. Due to time constraints, I signed the agreement, but later discovered that both cars belong to the same category. This is a hidden trap, be cautious.
At the London Heathrow Airport branch, I was received by a lady who informed me that I had reserved a hybrid car (which is more expensive). I told her that was not the case. After typing on her computer, she realized she had made a mistake due to a name match. She then asked how many kilometers I planned to drive, and I responded that I thought the rental was unlimited mileage. She mentioned that based on my mileage, they could offer a discount on fuel, but I insisted on returning the car with a full tank. She then printed the documents for me to sign. I requested to verify each item and noted that there was an additional charge for super insurance, which I had already purchased through QEEQ, and it was clearly stated on the reservation not to upsell insurance. I pointed this out to her, and after some more typing, she reprinted the documents and retrieved the original ones. After picking up the car, I noticed that the inspection form indicated the car ran on diesel, but it was an Audi A3. Doubtful, I asked a security guard who politely suggested I smell the fuel tank, which confirmed gasoline. He double-checked with a colleague and confirmed that the document was incorrect. This was my first time renting from HERTZ and I hope this was just a one-time mistake.
Hertz is located a bit far, but there's a shuttle bus which helps. I came from Terminal 5, the queue was short in the morning, and I got the car quickly. The service was alright, but they recommended too many things. You need to say No to everything, especially when they emphasize that fuel prices are cheaper than the market. If you ask whether you can get a refund for any leftover fuel, they say no. I almost got fooled. It's hard to return the car with an empty tank precisely. Also, after getting the car, carefully check its condition. I found a few scratches that weren't noted in the inspection report, so you need to inform them yourself.
