I booked a Corolla but was given a Civic. They asked if I wanted to upgrade without being pushy. Knowing I was driving the Great Ocean Road, they even provided me with a map and pointed out several famous spots. They also reminded me to set Google Maps to avoid toll roads since I didn't rent a toll pass. I bought fuel, and returning the car without a full tank was slightly more expensive but acceptable.

Good

Mostly self-service

Excellent service attitude.

Customer reception was a little dodgy. I was pressured to pay for an upgrade. The company didn't actually have the compact vehicle I had booked, but did not disclose this. I persevered with my booked smaller vehicle and the company rep had to admit that they could only supply a larger vehicle (for no extra cost). The vehicle also had some cosmetic damage that was not disclosed. I had to take my own photos to prove to Hertz that the vehicle had some damage that their own pre-rental inspection did not show.

Excellent service - will use it again!
