Quite satisfied

The Los Angeles LAX location has VIP and regular areas. This was my first time renting from Hertz, and I was in the regular area. I was assisted by an older Caucasian man, which is unusual as most companies have South Asian individuals in customer service roles. The man was chatty and checked my insurance situation, then told me I didn't need to buy any additional insurance. I asked if I needed to wash the car before returning it, and he said 'just leave it dirty.' The car got quite dirty inside and out, and despite washing it twice, I couldn't get it completely clean. They didn't charge me for it afterwards. I was in a hurry to catch my flight when returning the car and miscalculated the fuel amount—it was just at the Full line. I felt a bit embarrassed, but they didn't charge me extra for that either. I would consider using Hertz again in the future.

Hertz is a few kilometers away from Los Angeles airport. The queue wasn't too long, but they did try to upsell. I booked a mid-sized SUV like a Toyota Rav4 or a similar model, but they said Rav4 or Ford Escape would cost extra. Initially, they gave me a Jeep SUV with over 30,000 miles, which seemed to be a Compass. I didn't want it, but couldn't choose freely in the parking lot. I had to go back to the counter, and they gave me a slightly newer Jeep Compass. I insisted I didn't like Jeeps, and there were many Nissan Rogues in the parking lot. Finally, they gave me a Nissan Rogue.
