New Zealand North Island: Auckland - Rotorua - Wellington

Jia Hua did not have the car I booked, but they upgraded me multiple times to a Toyota Hiace.

The experience with Hertz was terrible. Do not choose this company. The system is chaotic, and every employee seems clueless about their job. They overcharge without reason, the refund process takes forever, there's no way to file complaints, and nobody takes responsibility. The handover process is extremely disorganized. The car itself had some minor issues. Additionally, they didn't mention any problems when the car was returned, but few days later they claimed there were scratches for which I couldn’t prove the responsibility, and they charged my credit card without my consent. Their actions are extremely unacceptable. Complaining to the rental platform didn’t help at all, still no resolution. Very poor service.

I specifically booked a Hertz Highlander, but only a Sorento was available at pickup. The price for a Sorento is half at other shops. The car had a bad odor throughout! Pickup was at 7 PM and drop-off at 8 PM. I confirmed that a one-hour delay was permissible, but was charged for at least half a day.

As expected from a top international company, everything was well-organized and the service was excellent!

Very convenient, and the customer service was excellent. We picked up the car at Auckland Airport, and the Hertz service counter was immediately to the right as we exited the airport, very close. Our itinerary included a ferry from the North Island to the South Island. After pre-booking and self-service car exchange, we picked up a car directly from the Hertz counter on the South Island. It was very convenient.
