I couldn't get a Challenger when picking up the car, so they gave me a Charger instead. I thought it was fine since it's at least a V6. But the rear tire of the car they gave me had a slow leak, almost left me stranded on the way to Grand Teton National Park. I had to keep inflating it while driving until I found a place to change the car. They tried to give me a Cruze, but after some negotiation, I got an Escape and had to pay an extra 61 dollars. Returning the car was relatively smooth, but a few hours later, they charged me 12 dollars, not sure what for. A few years ago, when I worked in North Carolina, Hertz had much better service. Not sure if it's a regional difference or if Hertz's service has declined significantly. I suggest not choosing Hertz...

The vehicle had a slight odor. The staff at the counter tried to sell me insurance when picking up the car, and seemed a bit unhappy when I didn't buy it.

During the summer holidays, I was able to handle problems by myself.

The airport shuttle goes directly to the car rental store, which takes about five minutes. The shuttle driver was very friendly. Upon arrival at the car rental company, there were staff members to guide me, and they were very enthusiastic. There was a line for processing the paperwork, but it didn't take long. The service staff were surprised to see that I was returning the car in Chicago. I told them I was going to drive Route 66. I had booked a Nissan Quest but waited for a long time, so they ended up giving me a Dodge, which I was very happy with. It made me feel more secure for my long trip. The car was almost new, having only driven over 2,000 miles. The fuel tank capacity was also high, more than a Toyota Sienna. While a full tank on a Sienna shows around 300 miles, the Dodge can reach up to 500 miles, which is reassuring when driving long distances without frequent gas stations. Of course, there are plenty of gas stations on Route 66. For Highway 1, I would recommend a vehicle with a large fuel tank. After confirming the vehicle, take the slip, find your assigned parking space number, and then just drive off.

Very convenient and smooth
