Before my trip, I learned from Hertz staff in Hong Kong that the actual car models available for the type I booked would only be Ford Galaxy 7 Seats and Ford Tourneo 7 Seats (the rental car reviews also only listed these two default models). On July 29, when I picked up the car at Munich Airport, the counter staff, Hofmann M., informed me that the actual car available was a smaller Ford S-Max. I immediately objected, but he insisted that the Ford S-Max was in the same category (which later proved to be untrue). Because the Ford S-Max was too small, Hofmann M. suggested that I could rent a Mercedes Benz V-class 8 seats for an additional Euro 300 without the Cross Border Fee. To avoid travel delays, I reluctantly agreed. He then printed the Rental Record for me, and after reviewing it, I questioned the last three charges (Fuel option: Euro 73.24, Location service charge: Euro 69.00, and Tax: Euro 72.82). He assured me that if I returned the car with a full tank, these charges wouldn't apply, so I signed the new Rental Record. On August 14, after returning the car, I found out from the Hertz Statement of Charges that the Location service charge: Euro 69.00 and Tax: Euro 72.82 were still charged. First, if Hertz had provided me with the Ford Galaxy or Ford Tourneo as per the contract, I wouldn't have needed to pay extra for an upgrade, which is the root of the problem. Second, if Hertz couldn't provide the booked car model and needed to upgrade, the upgrade should have been free. Third, Hofmann M. stated that only an additional Euro 300 was required and assured me that the last three charges wouldn't apply, which led to my agreement and signature. His sales tactics were basically fraudulent.

Scam company! They deducted over 500 euros claiming I didn’t provide a fuel receipt. Zuzuche made no effort to resolve the problem and kept asking for the fuel receipt even though credit card records were provided. I drove just 400 kilometers and refueled for 70 euros, so why deduct over 500 euros? Zuzuche's reason was that fuel and labor are expensive abroad. Ridiculous! It’s fraud against consumers!!! Check Zuzuche's contract; every clause says they’re not responsible. Rent directly from a car rental agency! Never use Hertz, never use Zuzuche! The intermediary always sides with the car rental agencies, ignoring consumer rights. I will defend my rights!

Munich branch is large and professional. Even though the car had a small issue, it was replaced and upgraded to a better model. Great service.

The originally reserved BMW 3 was not available, but they replaced it with a sporty Jaguar, which was great.

The trip was full of unexpected events! To summarize, we had a minor accident during the journey. We called Hertz's international emergency assistance, and the German customer service patiently handled all my silly questions and helped us find a nearby replacement vehicle. Thanks to them, our trip was saved. 5 stars!
