After renting the first car, the price for the second rental was ridiculously higher.

Hertz is very good, the vehicles are new, and the service is excellent. I always choose this company to rent a car. Picking up the car, handling the paperwork, and returning the car is quite convenient. However, when there are issues with the vehicle and you need to negotiate, it is difficult to find their customer service. This is specifically referring to my recent trip in Australia. It could be due to a lack of staff, or maybe our country's services are too convenient in comparison. During this trip in Australia, I had a flat tyre. Since I had PRAS, the time spent calling for assistance was much longer than the waiting time for help to arrive. The phone line was constantly busy. Eventually, assistance arrived, but because the spare tyre was a different size, they just inflated it and couldn't repair the tyre. Later, I went to a nearby repair shop and found out that the tyre was aged and not fit for long-term use, and it needed to be replaced. The important issue was that many repair shops didn't have the same size tyre in stock, and it would take a couple of days to get one. Since I was in a hurry, I couldn't wait that long. After numerous negotiations and waiting, I found a nearby airport where I could exchange the car, but it wasn't close. So I drove the car with the leaking tyre to the exchange location, which took up most of my day.

The car rental procedures at Hertz were very simple, both for picking up and returning the vehicle. For the return, they just did a quick inspection of the exterior. I only bought basic insurance and they didn't push for more coverage. The vehicle inspection was straightforward. Due to a long waiting time during pickup, they generously gave a free tank of gas to every customer waiting. A big company with a big heart!

This is my second time renting a car. The pickup and return is right across from the airport, which is very convenient. The car is also in great condition.

The car was very new, with only 8K kilometers on it. There were no extra sales pitches, and returning the car was very convenient. Because it was fully insured, the return process involved almost no inspections. Very convenient, a great experience.
