Not happy with the deal, the car quality

They kept pushing various insurance options and ended up charging me for a full tank of fuel. Even after returning the car with a full tank, they still charged me, and I had to contact them myself.

Overall service attitude was quite good, but there was constant upselling for a vehicle upgrade, claiming we had too much luggage and that the Ford Focus was too small, recommending a larger vehicle, which we firmly refused. In reality, the car we rented was in zone 3 area, where other cars like CRV4 and Nissan were also available. Therefore, it was possible to get a better car than what we had booked. It was raining heavily, and we didn't bother to choose carefully. The exterior looked fairly new, so we didn't switch. It had around 30,000 to 40,000 miles.

Upon arriving in Los Angeles to pick up the car, we had booked a 7-seater Mercedes GLS SUV, but when we got to the Hertz rental point, the staff clearly told us that the system showed we had booked a 5-seater Mercedes GLC SUV. We had five people in our group, four adults and one child, plus three suitcases, which the Mercedes GLC could not accommodate. The staff insisted that their system showed our booking was for a 5-seater (even though we had a printed reservation for a 7-seater large SUV, the Mercedes GLS). Eventually, we paid an extra $400 to upgrade to an Infiniti QX80 (the rental platform's customer service agreed for us to pay the upgrade fee first and take the car to avoid impacting our schedule, and they would handle the coordination later). The staff also provided a handwritten note explaining the situation. The whole process took about two hours.

Pickup and drop-off were very convenient. I bought full insurance through QEEQ, and the rental company didn't push any additional insurance. They were very polite and processed everything quickly.

Overall good experience
