Very good.

Good service

The car rental location at Melbourne Airport is easy to find. After collecting luggage, just cross the zebra crossing outside the airport exit to the opposite side. It takes about 5 minutes to walk there. We did the paperwork in the afternoon around 2 PM. We also paid about 70 AUD for all tolls during the 3-day trip. The return time can be anytime before 4 PM on the agreed return day. We chose to return the car at a location in downtown Melbourne, which is less than 1 kilometer from Federation Square. It was also easy to find. There are gas stations near the return location, and the return process was simple, taking about 15 minutes to complete. We got a free upgrade to a new 2018 car with just 9000 kilometers on it. Adding an additional family member as a driver did not incur extra charges.

Complaint about the Chinese female clerk at Melbourne Airport branch on December 26th around 6-7 pm! The child seat was clearly reserved through the Car Rental platform, but upon arrival at the store, they said it wasn't reserved. It was already past 7 pm, and we had to drive out to buy one. Additionally, she did not inform me to inspect the car condition beforehand, nor did she allow me to check it myself before signing the rental agreement. As a result, I signed the order without seeing the car, and did not notice the pre-existing scratch on the right side of the car's front. Because we were in a hurry to buy a safety seat, there was no time to take photos of the car, which caused the store to blame me for the scratch on the left side of the car when returning it. Moreover, due to the New Year’s Eve event on December 31st, I called in the morning to say I would return the car in the evening, but I wasn't informed about the road closures. This led to a futile trip to return the car, and I had to pay an extra day's rental to return it the next day. Extremely dissatisfied with Hertz's overall service attitude!

The car we received was different from what we booked. We originally booked an SUV Nissan Qashqai (I even provided them with a copy of the rental agreement), but upon pickup, we were given an SUV Hyundai ix35 with several scratches. When we mentioned this to the Hertz staff, they said it was the same category (SUV) so it's fine. However, there was already an SUV Nissan Qashqai nearby. Since it was late, we didn't want to argue further. We hope Hertz can improve on this.
