The reserved Galaxy model was not available, and the offered Smax didn't have enough space for six people. We had to consider upgrading to a Ford Tourneo by paying an extra fee. Initially, we were told verbally that it would cost about 13 euros per day extra. After agreeing to the upgrade, I had to go see the actual car myself, which was a hassle since the Tourneo isn't available in our country, so I didn't know what to expect. After agreeing to the upgrade, the paperwork showed an additional 16 euros per day, plus a 23.5% service fee and a 19% tax, which amounted to almost 25 euros per day extra. I felt somewhat cheated but had to accept due to time constraints. Additionally, regarding the toll fees for Austria and Switzerland, I was charged 25 euros. Upon reaching the border, I cautiously asked the gas station staff, and they didn't recognize the bill I had. I ended up having to buy toll fees separately for over 40 euros. Upon returning the car at the end of our trip, I asked the Hertz counter and was told that the CROSS BORDER FEE was for taking the car across borders, and toll fees still needed to be paid separately by me. Due to time constraints, I couldn't argue further. This wasn't just a money issue; if I hadn't been cautious and asked at the border, I might have faced fines or legal issues for not having the required toll stickers on the car windshield.

Short queues and good service attitude.

The car was excellent as I paid for an upgrade. However, the service was very poor, and the staff at Hertz were rude and unreasonable. I do not recommend using Hertz.

When we arrived in Frankfurt, the Mercedes 8-seater we reserved was unavailable, and they insisted on giving us a Ford 7-seater instead. We had eight people, how could we all fit? We went back to negotiate with the lady at the counter. She insisted that only the 7-seater was available. The two cars are of different sizes and not even in the same group. She was clearly lying, saying that the rest were all 9-seaters that required extra payment to upgrade. We argued that this was Hertz's problem and they needed to resolve it. She eventually said she would try to get a car from a nearby location but couldn't guarantee it. She asked us to wait on a nearby sofa, but we insisted on waiting at the counter. In less than a minute, she rummaged around and suddenly found the 8-seater Mercedes right next to the Ford. This is blatant lying. If not for the communication between Zuzuche and Hertz, I would have sent an email to complain. I have Hertz's gold card and this is the kind of deceptive service I get!

The service was excellent. It was very easy to find the car at Frankfurt Airport. Upon return, just follow the signs to locate it. The car inspection during drop-off was very quick. They gave me a free upgrade from a BMW 3 to a Volvo XC60.
