About Hertz:2.0/10
We couldn’t get the car. It was the most terrible car rental experience ever
Initially booked car didn’t have floor mats and my foot kept slipping so I requested to change the vehicle. After waiting for over 30 minutes we were finally upgrades to a bmw5 series . We then had to wait for the car to be washed. After 15 more minutes the guy came to us and said he cannot let us this car as someone else already booked it. So we walked away without having a car at all ! It was a complete waste of time.
Overall it's okay. Picked up the car in the city, staff were in a hurry to leave at 5:30 PM, lacked patience to explain the car details and didn't check the car condition thoroughly. Returning the car at the airport went smoothly, but the return location is not at the airport, it's relatively far away.
We were three adults and two children traveling from Dublin to Tralee to visit friends. Since we had a lot of luggage and there aren't many options for different drop-off locations in Ireland, we rented a BMW 5 Series hoping for a slightly larger trunk. However, we were given a BMW 3 Series instead. When we brought this up at the counter, the staff gave a haughty response, claiming it was the same series. After we objected, they then said the original rental was a manual 5 Series and the provided car was an automatic 3 Series, so it was fine (but in reality, our order was for an automatic 5 Series). Seeing that I was about to call the rental company in China, they offered a small discount as there were no other cars of the same grade available, which wasted over an hour of our time. We had to place a small carry-on suitcase in the cabin since it couldn't fit in the trunk, forcing one of the children to put their legs on the suitcase during the trip. The management and service level are quite disappointing!
Picking up the car was fine once location was found. Car was returned to a different location in the airport and there was no member of staff to check it back in. It has taken longer to release my funds held on my card. The excess is very high €2500 and the cost of daily insurance is a rip off, thankfully I have insurance to cover this.
