CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ AT FRANKFURT AIRPORT, FRA

The rental company's service was good with no extra charges.

The rented car was larger than expected. It was supposed to be a 5-seater, but they provided a 7-seater with navigation, which made the trip even better.

Very convenient. It was early morning when I got off the plane, so there was no queue and I picked up the car directly. Because there was no C class, I was given a BMW 3, which was acceptable.

Complaint about Hertz overcharging and downgrading the car model: 1. The rental cost on Zuzuche was 238 euros, including car rental, one-way fee, and taxes. However, the actual charges were: car rental 114.72 euros, one-way fee 95.28 euros, and taxes 96.91 euros, totaling 307.01 euros. This is significantly different from the price on the Zuzuche website. 2. Insurance: The Hertz counter staff only asked if I wanted to add super cover but did not explain the insurance costs and coverage. The final price included super cover of 203.34 euros and an additional personal insurance of 90.72 euros. I strongly complain about the forced purchase of personal insurance without any explanation. 3. Car model downgrade: Strong protest against Hertz for not respecting the reservation of a Volvo V40 or similar models like BMW X1 and Volkswagen Golf, and giving a Ford Fiesta instead. I have rented multiple times with Zuzuche, and this is the first time encountering a situation where the expected cost was 1799 RMB, but I ended up with a downgraded car and had to pay 606.95 euros (though I agreed to add the super cover). I request Zuzuche to resolve this issue, thank you!

The response to the complaint was unclear and evasive.

There were very few people, almost no queues. There are four counters where you can pick up the car. A young lady was very nice. However, a middle-aged woman was unfriendly to newcomers. One major dissatisfaction was that I booked a Volvo and asked if I could get one if I wait until the reserved time. They said it's impossible to get a Volvo.

Both pickup and return were very fast, the vehicle was new and comfortable to drive.

The engine failed to start twice: The first time was the day after renting the car, in the parking garage of the exhibition hall, it would not start. I called, but both breakdown numbers on the car key were unreachable and automatically disconnected! I tried the phone number on the rental platform, and after several transfers and explaining the situation, we waited for about an hour for assistance. During this time, I kept trying to start the car. Shortly after the phone contact, it miraculously started. Due to our tight schedule, returning to the airport to exchange cars was not an option, so we agreed that if it happened again, we would stop using the car. Miraculously, after four days, on the last day, while on our way to the airport, we stopped at a gas station to fill up the tank before return. After refueling, the car wouldn't start again! Tried all the phone numbers on the key and the rental company number, but none worked. The rental platform's phone said they couldn't help and asked us to call the breakdown number. Rushing to catch a flight, after about forty minutes of attempting to start it, it worked again! The car had only around 7,000 kilometers and was a 2018 model, so it should have been in good condition, but it was definitely a problematic car! Originally rented a Volvo V40, but was told at pickup that it was upgraded to a Jeep Wrangler. I thought I was lucky, but later felt it was a trap! It was a scary experience!

Friendly staff, fast pick-up process.

They usually don't give you the car you reserved, and it's always more expensive.

No available cars for early pickup, invoice name correction not yet completed.

Very convenient

Renting a car was quick and convenient, returning the car was hassle-free, and the service was excellent!

Contracts do not match; there is a suspicion of insurance upselling.

Firstly, the vehicle categorization is unreasonable. I rented a compact car but was given a Jeep. They told me it falls under the same category as a compact car. Driving a Jeep on the German highway is slow and fuel-inefficient, with a consumption of 17 liters per 100 kilometers, and I had to stay in the slow lane with trucks! Also, I was driving alone and didn't need such a large vehicle, which was also difficult to park in the city! Additionally, Thrifty provided a Hertz car. After picking it up in Frankfurt and driving to my company in a smaller city, I couldn't exchange it at a local Hertz office. After a week of inconvenience, I had to drive over 100 kilometers back to Frankfurt to switch the car! Lastly, there was a price difference between the rental company and the price on Zuzuche, which is completely unacceptable to me!

There was a rude Chinese staff member when picking up the car at the airport.

The car was in good condition and very new. The pickup process was convenient and fast.

Hertz did not supply the ordered car but different model ,the guy at the counter was very rude .

I booked a Volvo S40, but when I arrived, I was informed it wasn't available because I was late. Am I supposed to precisely predict if the flight will be delayed? After some hassle, they gave me a Jeep Wrangler. Its fuel consumption is very inefficient, but at least the staff had a decent attitude.

I purchased full insurance, but Hertz added another full insurance. I didn't notice and was charged over 200 euros extra for overlapping insurance. I suspect Zuzuche of fraud! Everyone, avoid renting from this scam company. I will be gathering evidence to sue them.
