Pleasure

Overall, it was okay.

To avoid renting a 5 2 small 7-seater MPV, I specifically chose one of the only two large MPVs on the ZuZuCar website offered by Hertz (Citroen Spacetourer manual or similar). But at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 when signing the rental contract, I was given a Volkswagen Sharan (UH60 BB VW SHARAN GPS BVA), a typical 5 2 7-seater, which can't fit five 20-inch suitcases when seating five adults and a child. After repeatedly requesting a larger model, they said there were none available, and the only option was to pay more for a 9-seater. Looking at Hertz's model card on-site, the I group doesn't even have the Sharan. Is this compact 5 2 MPV really what ZuZuCar considers a large MPV?

I will never rent from this company or its affiliated H company again! Poor car condition, poor service! Thrifty staff left immediately after handing over the keys without confirming with us. When we asked her questions, she told us to queue up again. We asked other staff from the same company, and they completely ignored us. Due to many scratches on the car, we needed confirmation, but had to queue again. The final solution was merely adding scratch marks on paper, no car replacement, claiming it was already printed (this is not our problem). They even forgot to give us the pass card, leaving us confused at the exit gate and blocking other cars. We had to go back and ask for the card, wasting a lot of time. Shortly after leaving, a tire pressure monitor issue popped up on the dashboard. Contacting the rental company, no one answered; Rentz’s response was to call the police first for support. Additionally, the return location on the confirmation sheet was just the Paris office, not the actual return spot. This place had no parking. We had to park far away and walk 1.3 kilometers to the office to ask, only to be told the correct drop-off location and procedure. During this time, no one answered calls to customer service, wasting nearly an hour driving around Paris looking for a spot. Thankfully, we reached the office before they closed, or else we would have had to return the car the next day.

The rules are too rigid. They specified a 10:30 AM pickup and didn't allow early pickups. The line was too slow. They insisted on buying insurance, and they were very unhappy if we didn't.
