Melbourne-Philip Island-Airport

Good attitude

Hertz is after all a big company with many customers. I arrived at the store at 7:20 AM and there were already two customers in line. Fortunately, the store is big enough to accommodate three customers at the same time. The staff patiently explained the entire rental process and showed no dissatisfaction when I declined the recommended options. They even personally directed me to the window to demonstrate how to pick up the car at the parking building across the street. Very thoughtful. Thumbs up!!

There were a lot of people in line. We arrived early to pick up the car, but the staff didn't inform us and said they would charge us an extra half-day fee. After explaining for a long time, they told us we must wait until the scheduled pickup time to get the car.

Very professional. Since it's full coverage, no extra check-in or check-out inspections are needed, similar to the no-liability insurance in China. The car was very new, just over 5000 kilometers, much better than the typical 20000 kilometers in China. However, others picking up a car at Franklin Hertz should be aware that the cars are parked in a garage, and you need to drive them down yourself. It's tricky if you're not used to right-hand drive cars yet. You can ask the staff to bring the car to the ground level before handing it over. At Melbourne Airport, there's a dedicated return lane for rental cars. It's a shared lane for all rental companies and not the entrance to a private car parking. Please pay attention to this.

Hertz is a big company and generally quite good. The staff spoke Chinese, so communication was smooth. However, I didn't get the car model I booked; I got a smaller one. Not sure how Zuzuche handled the booking????
