The staff at the pickup location was very nice, quietly and quickly handling the paperwork. He asked about insurance, and after I declined, the process continued smoothly. The cross-border fees were waived, which I truly appreciated! When returning the car, the store staff had already left, so I dropped the car key into Hertz's self-service return box. The car was parked about 30 meters ahead of the store, in the corner of a used-car parking lot.
During the queue, they didn't process orders by sequence but rather recommended other car models and insurance plans. The key issue was that they didn't tell me this small car uses diesel, which almost led to a big mistake.
The front desk was extremely unprofessional and had a bad attitude. We chose a longer Ford Mondeo because we had four pairs of skis for our children's training in the French glaciers. However, we were given a Citroën C4 at the airport, which is 26 cm shorter than the Mondeo. We were worried it wouldn't fit the skis. Although we could fit the skis by laying down one seat, we were two adults and three children, and taking up one seat for the skis meant one of the kids couldn't sit. We asked to change the car model, but the front desk said there were no other options. Calling the rental company's customer service didn’t help either. Hertz just didn't care. The rental company told us to accept it first and prove later if it was a downgraded model. I don't understand why they couldn't confirm it immediately, given the clear documentation the company should have on the vehicles. In any case, Hertz didn't provide the necessary proof, insisted the Citroën and Mondeo were the same class, and refused to change the cars. We spent over two hours dealing with this at the front desk, which was very unpleasant. The staff were indifferent to us as Chinese customers. Eventually, a manager came and told us it was a seven-seater, which resolved the issue. However, earlier on, my husband had asked the staff if it was a seven-seater, and they had said no. This indicates poor professionalism and service.
The staff's service attitude was excellent and very patient, thumbs up! However, when I picked up the car, I found the cleanliness of the vehicle to be quite poor, much worse than Sixt. There was a lot of dust around the windows, dirt in the central storage compartment, and a thick, curly hair stuck in the cigarette lighter. That was quite gross!
