There is a wide range of vehicles to choose from, the location of the car lot is convenient, the cars are new, and the process is fast and simple. However, be cautious as they may claim that the car you originally booked is unavailable and try to upsell you to a more expensive, luxurious model, along with unnecessary insurance and equipment. The additional insurance and equipment they offer are quite pricey. In my opinion, roads in Europe are generally good, and drivers tend to follow the rules; if you have good driving skills and are cautious, the basic insurance is usually sufficient. Dare to say 'no' to their 'enthusiasm'.

Excellent

Just outside the airport gate, very convenient. The staff at the store speak excellent English, so communication is seamless.

It wasn't hard to find the HERTZ counter at Munich Airport, and there weren't many customers at that time. The staff's service was attentive. However, we were surprised to find a spending trap set by HERTZ staff in Munich: On May 20th, we prepaid over a month in advance for 12 days of rental and super insurance through Zuzuche. To be extra cautious, we also bought 13 days of coverage from Worldwide Insure that included Deluxe EXCESS (covering road assistance, tires, glass, roof, and chassis). We arrived in Munich on the morning of July 6, went to the counter to handle the formalities, and provided the rental contract, pickup voucher, driver’s ID, notarized documents, and even the Worldwide Insure email confirmation and insurance policy to the staff. The service agent did not ask if we needed additional insurance. He ultimately gave us a credit card receipt totaling €641. We were unclear about the charges but asked the staff who said it was a pre-authorization and would be refunded later. So, we signed and picked up the car. After returning to our home country, we waited for the refund. Following several emails and phone negotiations, we found out the forced charges on the receipt included: 1) Estimate of charges includes Unlimited Kilometres €134.50; 2) PERS Glass & Tyre €117.00, plus a tax of €48.75, totaling €305.35. HERTZ refunded us €50 and then ignored us. The HERTZ store at Munich Airport definitely deserves a poor rating. HERTZ staff did not ask if we needed to purchase the insurance and took advantage of us not having the time to scrutinize the receipt, causing us unnecessary loss. This is a serious act of deception.
