During the paperwork process, the Hertz agent from Asia had a constant smile but also tried to persuade me to buy additional insurance and even encouraged an upgrade. Even though I had already purchased full insurance, he still claimed that I didn’t have roadside assistance. After repeatedly emphasizing that I had bought all the necessary insurance, he finally directed me to the car lot. Be cautious, as this is another potential pitfall. There were about five or six different cars parked, but only two of them were actually available for me. The others required an upgrade (if you accidentally took one, you might get stopped when leaving, wasting a lot of time). After taking several photos and confirming repeatedly, I finally got my car (there was no Ford Focus as I had reserved). Instead, I got a Kia Forte, which turned out to be nice to drive with lane-keeping assist. Driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was stress-free. American drivers are very disciplined, making the experience very enjoyable.

Great service, no insurance upselling, just routine inquiries

Hertz offers great value for money. Thumbs up!

I arrived over an hour early to pick up the car, and they changed the pickup time to 12:45 and the return time to 12:00, which didn't give me the full 24 hours.

Excellent service. Since it was my first time driving on a toll highway and I didn't know how to pay, a Hertz employee was very helpful and called to pay the toll for me when I returned the car. I'm truly grateful; they saved me a lot of money. For future visitors driving in the U.S., if you don't want to take the highway, set the GPS to avoid highways. If you're okay with highways, remember that at toll booths, you have to exit the main line to pay and then merge back in.
