When returning the car, I had definitely refueled it completely, but I didn't keep the receipt. During the inspection, they insisted that the tank wasn't full. I explained multiple times, and they still said they would refuel it. If it was less than 5 liters, there would be no charge, otherwise they would charge me 29 dollars. Later, I found out they charged me 29 dollars. Also, renting a child safety seat for 3 days costs 80 dollars, which is too expensive. My friend also booked a car with me but forgot his credit card. The rental company refused to rent the car to him and wouldn't refund or cancel the reservation. We decided to rent a car on the spot, but the company quoted us 1000 AUD per day, which is ridiculously high.

I was pressured into an upgrade, don't fall for it! They added extra charges when returning the car at the airport.

The car provided was relatively old and not very clean. It was full of leaves and mud, and the windows weren't clean either, which took some time to clean.

This time I rented a car at Sydney Airport. They didn't have the sedan Corolla I reserved and gave me an old Nissan with noisy door handles. I refused and asked for a different car. Hertz declined, saying that the car had been assigned for my trip to Melbourne, so there's no extra fee for a one-way rental. If I changed cars, it would cost an additional 400 AUD. I contacted the rental car service, but to no avail. They only confirmed that the fee I paid already included the one-way rental cost, so I kept demanding a free car change. Finally, they downgraded me to a hatchback Corolla without informing me it was a downgrade. I later checked online and realized this meant I effectively paid extra for the one-way fee that should have been included. [Rental car service, please provide an explanation] Secondly, I explicitly requested prepaid fuel in Sydney and the amount charged included it. However, the careless Hertz staff at Sydney Airport didn't reflect this on the confirmation, because I was focused on changing cars. When I returned the car, I noticed the receipt indicated I declined prepaid fuel. I had to argue extensively before Hertz Melbourne acknowledged the error was on Sydney's part. [If renting a car through this service requires such argumentation skills and online support is ineffective, please clarify this in the rental requirements, particularly regarding customers’ English proficiency] All in all, don't place too much hope on the rental car service’s effectiveness when issues arise.

The car is in perfect condition
