The waiting time was over 30 minutes, and they didn't have the V40 I reserved, so they immediately upgraded me to an Escape SUV.

I have rented cars in Germany twice. The first time I rented an Audi A4 estate, but since they didn't have it, they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60, which was okay. This time I booked a Mercedes E-class estate, and again, they didn't have it, so they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60. Initially, I was a bit upset, but I found the XC60's noise insulation to be much better than the E-class estate I rented in the UK, and it had more space. The interior quality is much lower, and the driving feel of the Mercedes is definitely a class above Volvo.

Hertz service was good. The wait time to pick up the car was quite long, but there was a staff member to check the car upon return. Our car's windshield had a small dent from a rock, which was noted by the staff. Once the return process was completed, I received the billing statement a few days after returning home. The damage assessment was reasonable, good service.

The process was quite fast, and the return was very smooth. Very good overall, although I booked a BMW or a Mercedes, but got a Volvo V60. I thought it was an S60 and agreed, but it turned out to be a V60. Although the car is quite long, it was still cramped for two adults and one child in the back seat. However, the car's features are really powerful, so I didn't pursue it further.

Picking up the car was smooth. There was no E-Class available, so we chose a Volvo V60. The car is not big, but it is very stable on highways and has strong diesel power.
