I had reserved a Volvo V40, but upon arrival, I was informed that it was unavailable and was offered a Ford instead. I assumed it would be a Ford Focus of the same grade, but after completing the paperwork and going to the parking lot, I discovered it was a smaller class car. Moreover, there were no staff members at the parking lot, and it was self-service pickup. This is clearly misleading and deceitful. If you don't have the specified model, you shouldn't charge for it. I felt very disappointed. I was carrying large luggage and didn't want to go back to discuss switching cars.

This was the worst car rental experience I've had in many years. They gave us a car that already had scratches. Thankfully, we had full insurance and took photos when we picked up the car. We returned the car in Salzburg, and the rental company staff there asked for a damage report from when we rented the car. No one had given us or reminded us to take such a report earlier, but they said it was fine since we had full insurance and we wouldn't need to pay extra. In the end, we found out they charged us an additional 140 euros, and we have no idea what for. We contacted the rental car service to inquire. It's been over a week now, and we still haven't received a response. Very dissatisfied.

Hertz service was good. The wait time to pick up the car was quite long, but there was a staff member to check the car upon return. Our car's windshield had a small dent from a rock, which was noted by the staff. Once the return process was completed, I received the billing statement a few days after returning home. The damage assessment was reasonable, good service.

Excellent

The car was in great condition, worth its price
