CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ IN BARCELONA

The Hertz pickup location had no Chinese-speaking staff and not very accommodating with English either. Overall service was average. The drop-off point's dropbox was very hard to find, very difficult.

The location is great, right on Diagonal Avenue. The staff is very friendly and didn't try to upsell insurance.

Excellent service, quick pickup!

Average service attitude

Had to wait an hour in line to handle the rental, by the time we finished, it was already dark.

I clearly stated on my phone that I did not want any additional services, but I was unknowingly charged for insurance. This is outrageous and unacceptable! My friend rented a car from another company, Europcar, and also faced pressure to buy insurance. She asked me to translate her refusal, and although the representative was not pleased, they did not charge her for insurance. Hertz’s behavior is infuriating and disgusting! The female staff member clearly nodded and understood my request for no insurance, but the final bill still included over 300 euros for insurance.

It took some effort to find the drop-off location. See the comments below. The drop-off was okay, I guess.

The guy on our return was quite rude. The way he drove the rental car, the way he accused us of damaging the car. The Canadian guy when we arrived couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

No

There were few staff at the counter, causing a queue when it's busy. Each customer takes at least 10 minutes.

I placed my car rental order at least two months in advance, yet I had to wait over an hour to complete the paperwork and our chosen model wasn't available. Despite booking so early, they switched our car and made us wait so long. I have no idea what you guys are doing.

Great customer service didn't have to wait. Would defiantly book with you again

The rental company colluded with thieves and did not warn renters in advance, leading to tires being slashed and everything stolen within just 30 minutes by gangsters who slashed the tires twice! When we returned to the store for help, they only shirked responsibility and said the rental platform should be accountable. Absolutely disheartening. Trash Hertz knew their cars have rental company logos, attracting thieves, yet did nothing to prevent it. They pushed all the responsibility away when incidents occurred. Don't choose Hertz.

Honestly, the service was just average. I bought full insurance through Zuzuche, but they still tried to sell me their own insurance, explaining how much I might have to pay if there was an accident. The car they provided was quite old and had many scratches, so make sure to check it thoroughly.

No car was available, so Hertz provided one, but they required an additional insurance purchase.

Very satisfied

Both pickup and drop-off were relatively easy and not too much trouble. They tried to sell me insurance at pickup, but I told them I already had full coverage, so it was fine. Drop-off was quick too; they just checked the car's exterior and the full fuel tank, and that was it. However, the drop-off location needs some improvement. Following the address provided by QEEQ, we ended up driving into the airport parking lot, which cost us extra parking fees and wasted time. The correct address provided by QEEQ was actually the car rental counter in the airport, but the real drop-off location was an underground parking lot outside. Since it was too close, we couldn't use the GPS and had to navigate manually. We spent over half an hour just to find the drop-off point by following airport signs.

The car had 24 pieces of damage. The car was not available on pick up. The car when arrived was difficult to find. The staff were not helpful

Nous avons eu un accidents le dernier jour de voyage. La voiture a été fortement endommagée, mais l'accident n'était en aucun cas de notre faute. Le constat le montre lui-même ainsi que les témoignage de différentes personnes. Le service assistance que nous avons appelé (de nuit) à rapidement envoyé une dépanneuse, et un taxi, et nous a expliqué qu'une autre voiture "nous attendait" dans un point de retrait proche. Tout semblait simple et organisé. Seulement, le lendemain en arrivant au point de retrait Hertz, le monsieur nous informe que la caution a plus que doublée ! (pour un montant de 400€) Il nous est impossible de repartir en voiture si nous avons pas ce montant sur le carte (du conducteur précisément). L'accident, encore une fois n'était pas de notre faute, et nous avions encore une journée de loc prévue. Nous avons donc été punis pour une faute non commise. Aucune compassion, aucune aide pour trouver une solution!! Nous nous sommes retrouvé à l'aéroport d'Alicante en Espagne, sans moyen de retour, alors que nous devions être à Barcelone le soir même pour prendre un avion, retour en France. En plus du pris de la location, nous avons du aussi payer le retour en BlaBlaCar, ainsi que différents transports qui n'étaient pas prévus au début de notre voyage. Le monsieur a trouvé pour seul excuse "le service assistance Hertz est une autre compagnie qui n'a rien a voir avec nous" ! Haha, ce n'est pas notre problème !!! Mauvaise fin d'experience, dommage.

Convenient and good service

They said they close at 12pm, but when we arrived at 11am, no one was there. When we picked up the car, they upgraded us without informing, due to the language barrier we didn't know. We booked for 3800 on QEEQ, but at the rental company it became over 6000; it felt like we were completely scammed because of the language barrier.
