About Hertz:10.0/10
Upgraded at Hertz, absolutely delightful gentlemen at Guildford who went above and beyond to explain car and return process which was after hours on a Sunday. Really delightful.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Easy to use albeit more expensive than if I had gone directly to Hertz in the UK.
Initially, they said the reserved model was unavailable and tried to upsell us on an upgrade. After we firmly declined, they provided the original model. Be cautious of this.
Huge scam!!!! They said there were no issues when I returned the car, but when I got back home, I received a damage fine, even though I had full insurance. What made me the most angry was the Hertz staff. In Edinburgh, we paid for parking but still got a fine. After returning the car, we went to the front desk to discuss how to handle it. Initially, the Hertz employee was very nice and asked us to send the ticket and our parking receipt to Hertz, promising they would handle it. But then, all of a sudden, they changed their tune and told us to pay the fine first, saying they would help us get a refund from the city council. They even made us pay the fine right there on the spot, despite us risking being late for our flight. After paying, the Hertz employee immediately became hostile and ignored us, serving other customers instead. It felt very intentional and extremely frustrating, like something out of a TV drama. When we got angry and demanded an explanation, they said it was not Hertz's responsibility and we should deal with it ourselves! Later, we realized it was a trick. By making us pay, they shifted the dispute to be between us and the Edinburgh government. To appeal the fine, we would need to provide the car owner's information, but we couldn't process it without that. Only Hertz could resolve this mistake, but to avoid hassle, they tricked us! Otherwise, they would have been charged, and we would have had to provide proof, making it a dispute between the car owner and Edinburgh's government. Sadly, when I was studying in the UK, I heard about how bad Hertz staff were, and many people preferred to choose Europcar even if it was more expensive. Now I've seen it for myself, what a terrible company. The service is extremely poor, whether picking up or returning the car! PS: We waited forty minutes for the Hertz shuttle at the airport!
Not satisfied. They started selling theft insurance, but even after refusal, the attitude remained friendly! The dissatisfaction lies in the fact that I booked an Audi A4 wagon (to fit more luggage), but was given a Mercedes C220 sedan! The luggage couldn't fit! They even said it was an upgrade!!! After negotiation, they provided a Skoda wagon, claiming it was two levels higher than the original car and required a significant extra charge! We were in a hurry and couldn't be bothered to argue, so we didn’t agree to the higher-priced car. One piece of luggage stayed in the back seat for almost twenty days!!!!!!
Extremely dissatisfied.
This rental was a disaster because my lack of understanding of local UK regulations led to the vehicle being towed by local authorities.
However, Rentacar company's response was slow. It took them 10 days to retrieve the vehicle from the authorities, causing significant inconvenience and incurring almost 1000 pounds in costs during my stay in the UK.
When asked why it took Hertz 10 days to get the vehicle back, they never gave a direct answer, instead offering unconvincing excuses.
In summary, very disappointed. Your company did not look after the customer's interest. Poor service.
Waited in line for at least an hour, when we got the car we had paid for it wasn’t the cleanest inside and when my partner opened the passenger car door the handle fell of even though it was reported in the damage report we got the car should never had been given out
