CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ IN EDINBURGH

The service in all aspects is excellent!

The waiting time was quite long.

Very good

I picked up the car 3-4 hours later than scheduled. The rental company refused to provide the model I booked, citing that I did not inform them in advance. They insisted I pay extra for a different model. I had a contract with the car rental service and paid in full, so I'm not sure why I couldn't get the car I booked. It’s unclear whether the issue lies with the car rental platform or Hertz. During the rental period, I also had a flat tire which caused delays and affected my trip. Although I purchased full insurance from the rental platform, it wasn’t reflected in my Hertz order, meaning I have to handle the claim process after returning home. This adds inconvenience and consumes both effort and time. Currently, the claim process is underway. While the insurance company and the rental service might reimburse the tire costs, it's uncertain whether they will compensate for the time lost and the stress caused. I reserve the right to seek further compensation.

I inspected the car thoroughly during pickup. When returning the car, the Hertz staff barely looked at it, showing a lot of trust. The pickup staff clearly stated that there was no need to wash the car before returning it. Additionally, considering our original drop-off point (Heathrow) was far from our accommodation (there were no ideal drop-off options for our MPV model online), they immediately helped me resolve it after discussing. They were very patient. Later, I found the new drop-off point was only 200-300 meters from the hotel, which was great. They also didn't try to sell me any insurance. The Ford Galaxy 7-seater was a new model, with limited space efficiency (couldn't get a Sharan). The trunk was especially cramped, and the trunk cover had no place to store except underfoot. On the positive side, the diesel engine had sufficient power, the automatic transmission was responsive, the steering was extremely precise with little play, and the suspension was supportive yet resilient. This was a blessing on the narrow, hilly, winding roads in the UK, making the driving experience very enjoyable.
