The staff were very friendly when picking up and returning the car. Since my English is not very good, they were very patient. The procedures were quick and we didn't have to wait long.

Hertz staff were efficient, knowledgeable and helpful.

vehicle category not available, upgrade not available, ended up with a lower category vehicle (from large 7-seat SUV to Dodge Grand Caravan).

Positive 1. The customer service during pick-up was fast. 2. The customer service during drop-off was equally faster and smooth. Negative 1. I booked a Jeep Cherokee cause I will be driving from San Diego to San Francisco and would need a bigger car so my family will be comfortable. They changed this without notice to a much smaller Buick Encore without any explanation. 2. I ordered a toddler seat for my 5 yo kid and confirmation was sent for this. But at the time of pick-up and I ended up travelling to from Carlsbad to San Diego Airport ( a total of 1 hour ++ trip) and end up wasting half-a-day of our planned trip. 3. and because we have to adjust our trip, we have to extend our rental. 4. I have used Hertz before and they would normally explain the gas and time of return, I totally forgot about these things because of the rush and I ended assuming that I need to fill-it-up in full. I also found out that I was being charged to pay for overtime time charged and I needed to call the customer service to cancel the charges.
