After arriving in the US, I was in an unfamiliar place and didn't speak the language well. Unexpectedly, my SIM card didn't work. The rental company's shuttle bus had no markings, so I had to ask each driver individually— it was quite desperate! Why not send the pick-up location information earlier? This should be sent before the departure because once you land in another country, you can't always count on having a working phone signal! It's not considerate!

I booked a Grand Cherokee but they gave me a different car without informing me before pickup. Very disappointing! It felt like a downgrade.

Not bad

I lived in the US for three years, and although I didn't have any car rental experiences, I used to think Hertz, being a big company, would have standardized services. After this experience, a big NO!! I will never rent from them again! First, we booked a Jeep 2.0 on zuzuche.com, but when we got to the Los Angeles International Airport pickup point, we waited in line for 45 minutes only to be told that the car was no longer available! The worst part was that they offered us an upgrade (for extra money) to a Dodge (which is much worse than a Jeep in terms of driving experience!!!!!!!). Third, the front desk staff repeatedly tried to sell us additional insurance products (for most Chinese tourists, basic insurance is more than enough, especially if they've already bought insurance before the trip). Fourth, they lied to us, saying that filling up gas in Los Angeles by yourself would cost $9.99 per gallon (hell no, it was actually $2.69/gallon, blatant deceit, and it wasn't just one employee's behavior; it was written clearly on a blackboard at the front desk with $9.99, showing that employees commonly engage in deceptive practices), just to make us buy their fuel service waiver (which costs an extra $53). The result was that I rented a Dodge from Hertz, which had poor handling, especially on the highway. The car was very light and prone to accidents. The 4-day rental price was even higher than the 6-day rental of a Ford Mustang I booked later! Hertz, never again!

I specifically requested not to have a Japanese car but found out it was still a Japanese car once I reached the parking spot. With luggage and kids, it was inconvenient to go back and queue to change the car. In the end, when leaving the parking lot, they asked me to modify my order and added several insurance items I didn't need.
