There was no Chinese service at both the pickup and drop-off locations. I booked the car for 3:30 PM, but I had to wait at the airport for over four hours until almost 8 PM to get the car. I bought the insurance recommended by the staff, who said that I didn't need to return the car with a full tank. This already made me unhappy. Additionally, they gave me a brand-new car with a very strong new car smell. Especially after being parked and exposed to the sun for a while, the smell inside the car was so strong that I felt nauseous. During our self-driving trip, I didn't dare to close the windows. This rental experience made my family very unhappy during the trip.

Hertz's service is really frustrating. Both the pick-up and drop-off processes were extremely slow, extremely slow, extremely slow!

The return process in Edmonton was very good, but the pickup service in Calgary was not. It was entirely in English, and even though they saw I was Chinese, they didn't slow down their speech. The person tried to sell me insurance, and when I didn't buy it, he became unhappy, just tossed the keys to me and told me to find the car myself. I wasn't familiar with some of the car's details and switches, but they didn't come over to help even after I asked several times. They also suggested I upgrade to an SUV.

They still tried to sell insurance, and we eventually bought it because we were unfamiliar with the area. No Chinese service was available.

I would appreciate it if your staff was more aware of 3rd party booking conditions. Also, I don’t appreciate your staff automatically tacking on a 2 hour charge at drop off when I was on time. I don’t think that I should have to contest a charge that clearly wasn’t necessitated.

Your re-booking for a better price was excellent. I certainly recommended friends to you when this happened. Also, details about what to expect, and what I should avoid when dealing with the car rental company were very much appreciated.
