The car was new with good condition, and the service was excellent. The pickup and return were convenient. The only drawback is that the price was a bit high during peak season. I'll definitely come back when the prices are more reasonable.
I had a great car rental experience during my self-drive trip in Switzerland. First of all, the car rental company's service was very professional. The process from pick-up to drop-off was smooth, the vehicle was clean and tidy, and although the performance was average and felt a bit underpowered on mountain roads, there’s nothing to complain about. After all, you get what you pay for. The staff was also very friendly and efficient, making the whole pick-up process very simple.
When picking up the car, the counter staff told me that the vehicle had no damage or scratches, and any scratch smaller than 2.5 cm would not be recorded. I only checked the body at pick-up and did not pay attention to the wheels and tires. Upon return, the staff claimed there were scratches on the front right wheel and demanded compensation without measuring, simply taking a photo and charging 350 Swiss Francs for repair plus 90 Swiss Francs for labor. I refused to sign, but was told the charge would proceed regardless. I'm disputing this with Hertz customer service. 1. The pick-up staff's guidance was insufficient and potentially misleading regarding scratches under 2.5 cm. 2. The return staff did not measure the length and insisted on the charge. Their latest response is to measure and photograph after the next rental. How can I be sure the damage wasn't caused by the next renter? 3. I cannot ascertain if the damage was pre-existing or caused during my rental. 4. Hertz did not provide specific scratch definitions or compensation terms. There is no official documentation clarifying whether this scratch requires compensation or detailing the cost.
Hertz at the Swiss airport is a deceitful company. They gave me a good car, but imposed a huge penalty after use. I rented for 2 days, and the rental fee was only around 900 rubles, but the penalty was 5000 rubles for minor, nearly invisible issues, with no standardized comments. They charged my visa directly! Don’t rent a Hertz car in Europe anymore; they are completely deceitful and dishonest!
