Everything else was great! I booked a Golf but they gave me a Renault Clio, which was nice! It felt great to drive! However, finding the return route in Rome was really tough. The garage is on the seventh floor of the parking lot with no signs at the entrance. I missed it and had to navigate a lot of one-way streets before finally finding my way back. So frustrating!
We booked a Volvo XC60 but were given a BMW X3 ES RK. They said it was the same, and because our English isn't great, we didn’t ask if there were extra charges. Later, we found out there was an extra charge of 600 euros for our 59-day rental. Also, after driving 2,000 km, the screen showed a warning to replace the engine oil. I feel like they gave us a problematic car. This is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of situation, and it's really frustrating. We called three times but no one answered. When we emailed, they told us to visit the nearest Hertz branch to have the car replaced. At that time, we were in Norway, but the Hertz branch in Norway told us that since the car was rented in France, the issue had to be resolved with the French office. In the end, we just kept driving that car until this trip was over.
During the rental period, the car key was stolen in a different city. The rental company demanded a 350-euro fine. Their internal processes were very slow, which delayed the delivery of the spare key. It took a full four days to send the key from Paris to Paris, delaying the return of the car. This caused the contract to expire before the car could be returned, and they charged a high extension fee of 129 euros per day for six days. Very unreliable.
The service attitude is acceptable, but the hidden fees are high. 1. The 20% tax is not mentioned in advance; 2. The provided GPS hasn't been updated for 31 months, some routes are not found, and some lead to wrong-way entries; 3. The GPS caused unnecessary detours, leading to exceeding the daily mileage limit, which is very high at 0.84 Euros per kilometer. It's outright robbery. Never using this company again.
