Hertz charged me 289 euros for a small dent on the windshield, probably caused by a tiny little piece of rock on the highway, arguing that the whole glass would have to be replace. It’s common knowledge that small (less than half an inch) dents like this can be fixed at many different places (Carglass, Glassdrive, ExpressGlass, for example) for as little as 70 euros. It looks like Hertz took advantage of the situation since it’s clear an incident over which I had no way of avoiding it. Will not make business with them again.
The attitude was very average. Even though we had made a reservation in advance, when we arrived, we had to take a number while others who came later didn't. Too many additional charges that weren't disclosed beforehand. For example, adding an additional driver cost 6 or 7 euros, which wasn't mentioned. The person at the front desk should have at least informed us. The deposit was too high without any justification. They required a 2000 euro deposit while other places only asked for a few hundred euros, which was shocking. Overall, a very bad experience.
