Simple procedures. The car they provided was a Nissan with only 2450 kilometers on it. Returning the car was just a check for any scratches and if the tank was full. Truly a big company.
The waiting time was too long, taking up to an hour in line. When finally attended to, the staff was very unprofessional, taking half an hour to complete the process. They also changed my originally reserved Highlander (classified as a Large SUV by the rental company) to a Chevrolet Equinox, which is at least one size category smaller. After negotiating with another staff member, they finally switched it to a Nissan Pathfinder, but I had to wait another half hour to get the car. From standing in line to getting the car, it took over two hours and multiple negotiations. The experience was very poor. However, the car was in good condition, having been driven only 10,000 kilometers when I picked it up.
Rented two cars, but when it was our turn at the store, the staff processed one car and then left us saying his shift was over! After unsuccessful negotiations, we had to switch to another staff member. We had reserved the car for 11 AM, but when we went to pick up the second car in the afternoon around 2 PM, it wasn't ready. They said it had just been returned and was being inspected! We had to wait for almost two hours with multiple promises of 'in half an hour' or 'in fifteen minutes.' It was very frustrating! However, the return process was quick.
Please note the difference between the address and the location on the map. It’s actually a car rental company inside the airport, so just head out of the airport and you'll find it. However, there was a problem with the address in Calgary as it was missing a space. Fortunately, our local friend explained how to understand the address correctly, ensuring we returned the car smoothly the next day.
The service was very poor, with a lot of upselling for upgrades and extra insurance (even though I stated I had already purchased full coverage, the female Chinese receptionist continued to push insurance). Overall, I will not rent from Hertz again.
The experience was okay, they asked if I wanted insurance, saying it would be risky without it. But I already bought insurance from the intermediary website. I guess the information between the two sides wasn't communicated. The intermediary sites probably make money from insurance. I've heard that insurance bought directly from the rental company is more effective and reliable if there's an accident, so next time I won't buy insurance from an intermediary site.
I have rented cars from Hertz in many places, but the experience at the Vancouver airport was quite poor. They kept pushing additional insurance even though I emphasized multiple times that I had already purchased full coverage. They insisted that towing fees were not included, and so on.
The service was good, but the car we picked up at the Vancouver airport location was a bit old. Later, when driving to Seattle, a thief shattered the car window. We contacted QEEQ customer service, and after they communicated with Hertz, we were told to go directly to the Seattle airport location to exchange for another car, which was in better condition than the original one. Even though it was already past midnight, the car exchange process went smoothly.
