CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ AT GENEVA AIRPORT（SWISS SIDE）, GVA

Got upgraded to a Volvo XC60 with autopilot functionality, absolutely amazing!

It's okay

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!

Attitude was acceptable

Easy communication without any sales pitches

Hertz's service in Switzerland has always been good. The only downside was that the car window got smashed when parked on the street in Montreux the next day. When we drove to Lausanne to change cars, there was no equivalent model available, and no discount was explained at that time. We had to send an email after the fact to find out how much cheaper it would be. Additionally, in the rush to swap the car (with broken windows and glass everywhere inside), we didn't fill up the gas tank. We had only used a quarter of the gas, but they charged nearly a full tank when settling the bill, which was quite unreasonable given the circumstances.

Overcharging problem: I originally booked an X3, but was told there were no cars available at pick-up. They gave me a 5-series instead and the Hertz staff clearly told me it was cheaper than the X3. However, I was charged an extra 646 Swiss francs.

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 car provided was indeed smaller than the one reserved, which is a negative point. However, the store and staff were acceptable.

The check in desk was manned by one one person, later by only two. Long queue. More than 35 min waiting.

Great value!

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.

Was quite surprised and happy to get the exact car we rented (Mercedes Class A) and not a "similar" car. That was my most enjoyable car rental so far. Car was brand new and fully equipped.

Great experience. Will use again.

Big company, well-organized. They have the cheapest rental rates for child safety seats!

It was okay, going to the airport, to get the car, and then finding the car was a bit troublesome, took quite a while.

The car was worth the hire and the GPS pretty good as well.

I still need help here. There was a small scratch on the front driver's side wheel and I need to claim for the insurance but that process is not at all clear. HELP!

Great service attitude. They provided a slightly larger car than what I originally booked. The car was new, with only 1500 miles, and was in excellent condition, equipped with GPS. It was a satisfying car rental experience.

The on-site service at the pickup point was great. When we found the vehicle did not meet our needs, they replaced it for free after communication.

They did a free upgrade which was very kindly.

Initially, they gave us a large and new Citroën SUV. However, since we had to drive on mountain roads, we requested a smaller car. The store switched it to an Opel for free. The car was in excellent condition, and we were very satisfied.
