Great service!

Fast and friendly counter service, excellent car condition.

It wasn't hard to find the HERTZ counter at Munich Airport, and there weren't many customers at that time. The staff's service was attentive. However, we were surprised to find a spending trap set by HERTZ staff in Munich: On May 20th, we prepaid over a month in advance for 12 days of rental and super insurance through Zuzuche. To be extra cautious, we also bought 13 days of coverage from Worldwide Insure that included Deluxe EXCESS (covering road assistance, tires, glass, roof, and chassis). We arrived in Munich on the morning of July 6, went to the counter to handle the formalities, and provided the rental contract, pickup voucher, driver’s ID, notarized documents, and even the Worldwide Insure email confirmation and insurance policy to the staff. The service agent did not ask if we needed additional insurance. He ultimately gave us a credit card receipt totaling €641. We were unclear about the charges but asked the staff who said it was a pre-authorization and would be refunded later. So, we signed and picked up the car. After returning to our home country, we waited for the refund. Following several emails and phone negotiations, we found out the forced charges on the receipt included: 1) Estimate of charges includes Unlimited Kilometres €134.50; 2) PERS Glass & Tyre €117.00, plus a tax of €48.75, totaling €305.35. HERTZ refunded us €50 and then ignored us. The HERTZ store at Munich Airport definitely deserves a poor rating. HERTZ staff did not ask if we needed to purchase the insurance and took advantage of us not having the time to scrutinize the receipt, causing us unnecessary loss. This is a serious act of deception.

The car was in great condition, worth its price

I got over charged for things that should not be charged such as special cleaning. The car was not spotless but it was definitely tidy
