The car rental procedures are simple, no upselling, and every fee is explained clearly. The car is new (less than a year old).

When picking up the car, the counter staff told me that the vehicle had no damage or scratches, and any scratch smaller than 2.5 cm would not be recorded. I only checked the body at pick-up and did not pay attention to the wheels and tires. Upon return, the staff claimed there were scratches on the front right wheel and demanded compensation without measuring, simply taking a photo and charging 350 Swiss Francs for repair plus 90 Swiss Francs for labor. I refused to sign, but was told the charge would proceed regardless. I'm disputing this with Hertz customer service. 1. The pick-up staff's guidance was insufficient and potentially misleading regarding scratches under 2.5 cm. 2. The return staff did not measure the length and insisted on the charge. Their latest response is to measure and photograph after the next rental. How can I be sure the damage wasn't caused by the next renter? 3. I cannot ascertain if the damage was pre-existing or caused during my rental. 4. Hertz did not provide specific scratch definitions or compensation terms. There is no official documentation clarifying whether this scratch requires compensation or detailing the cost.

The X1 I rented didn’t come with a spare tire or a temporary parking warning sign. Aren’t these standard? Asking was useless as they simply don’t provide them.

Very satisfied

The location is in the parking building at Zurich Airport, making pickup and drop-off very easy. I booked a MONDEO, but got a new Subaru Outback with only 450 kilometers.
