There is a shuttle bus from the airport to the Hertz parking lot. The driver was very nice and helped us with our luggage. The parking lot signs are clear. However, the counter staff tried to sell us insurance when we picked up the car.

Upon arriving in Los Angeles to pick up the car, we had booked a 7-seater Mercedes GLS SUV, but when we got to the Hertz rental point, the staff clearly told us that the system showed we had booked a 5-seater Mercedes GLC SUV. We had five people in our group, four adults and one child, plus three suitcases, which the Mercedes GLC could not accommodate. The staff insisted that their system showed our booking was for a 5-seater (even though we had a printed reservation for a 7-seater large SUV, the Mercedes GLS). Eventually, we paid an extra $400 to upgrade to an Infiniti QX80 (the rental platform's customer service agreed for us to pay the upgrade fee first and take the car to avoid impacting our schedule, and they would handle the coordination later). The staff also provided a handwritten note explaining the situation. The whole process took about two hours.

Issues with the car were resolved.

Hertz is a well-established rental company with a large store and many staff members, though there are also many customers. Even though we had to wait in line, the staff was very friendly. Overall, highly satisfied.

I don't know why it shows my order as a mini MOV or similar here. I booked a mid-size MPV, 7 seats, and it also shows in the order as a mid-size MPV | Nissan Quest or similar, automatic/4 doors/7 seats?! They charged me an upgrade fee of $797 at the store! The vehicle had issues, but the customer service staff were quite enthusiastic!
