Watching Sunset at Uluru, Hiking in the Valley of Winds at Kata Tjuta

First time renting from Hertz, had a great experience!

The reservation indicated I had to pay around $148 at the counter, but the rental company added $6 for road assistance and $12 for insurance without asking me, which should have made the total around $166. However, I was ultimately charged approximately $180.

Staff arrived late. Return time was unclear.

Picking up and returning the car was very convenient. There were not many people renting, so we didn't have to wait in line at all. The staff were very friendly and, even though we don't speak English, they helped us complete the car rental process quickly. They did not try to sell us any additional products or services.

I was shocked to find out that you had rented me a car with tyres that did not confirm to even a minimum legal requirement what so ever. We had a Blow-Out at a very inconvenient place where temperatures soaring near 90F. We had to reroute ourselves to a busier but a longer route as we were concerned about driving on a short cut that was not a main highway. Flat tyres can happen but blow-outs shouldn't happen! We managed to get back to Alice Springs without further incident, took the car to Beurepaires a tire repair shop and upon inspection by them they had some expletive words to describe the condition of at least two of the three remaining tires on the vehicle. They were shocked that Hertz would rent a car with tyres of this condition. and kept repeating that its illegal for you to have done so. They were so disturbed about it that the manager Cain took it upon himself to call the local Hertz office in Alice Springs and spoke with I believe the Name was Tasha (General Manager) who told him to refer me to Alice City TyrePower who again immediately Condemned the tyres and was shocked that Hertz rented a car with tyres in the condition that they were. They got authorization from Hertz to replace all 4 tyres . The whole thing consumed my whole morning and and also pretty much ruined the entire previous day. Hertz! do you realize the dangers of driving a car with bad tyres some with visible inner wires exposed. I have pictures of them and you don't need to take my word for it just ask your authorized Tyre Dealer in Alice Springs and the second Dealer who is fully prepared to give evidence of the fact that you had illegal tyres on the vehicle. Is Hertz Australia so indifferent to human life that you try to squeeze out a few more kilometers to increase your profits. Do you have any remorse to the fact that you could have killed me and my family due to your negligence. I have written separately to Hertz Customer Service, no response yet other than an auto acknow
