CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ IN LOS ANGELES

Not bad, it would have been better if there was Chinese language support.

Like: I liked being able to rent a Jeep Wrangler.
Dislike: Took way too long to pickup car.

Like: Picking up the vehicle was very easy and everything was explained to us step by step, we were offered different options but with out a hard sell and they weren’t pushed when we said no.
Dislike: Although we were extremely happy with the pick up we had it was a shame we didn’t get the one we booked.

They insisted on us buying insurance, saying they wouldn't rent us the car without it. If we didn't know the rules, we definitely would have been tricked into buying it. The translator just translated and didn't really provide Chinese service. They also insisted we had to buy the insurance.

Like: fast service
Dislike: car was a bit beat but still got the job done

Long queues and low efficiency in picking up the car.

Unreasonable charges!

Very fast! Got the car in fifteen minutes.

Waiting time was too long.

Satisfied

The pickup location was just opposite my hotel. There were two staff members, both very friendly and quick. There was a steady stream of people picking up cars.

They exploit customers when they find out your English isn't very good!

I arrived over an hour early to pick up the car, and they changed the pickup time to 12:45 and the return time to 12:00, which didn't give me the full 24 hours.

They didn't provide a Chevrolet at all, only offered Ford and Nissan. The service attitude was poor, and even after I specified I didn't want additional insurance, they still added roadside assistance. It felt like robbery.

Like: The car; the travel card
Dislike: Nothing

The service at Hertz Los Angeles branch was very poor, with inefficient staff who left early. I thought I reserved a Chrysler 200, but was told at pickup that they never had this model. WTF???

Starting with a rant obviously wouldn't keep anyone's attention. Let me first declare that this is not a rant, but the reality. At LA's B terminal, there's a Hertz shuttle passing every 2 minutes, indicating their market share is high. Nonetheless, their service and operations are absolutely terrible! A Korean employee greeted me and told me the Corvette I had reserved was not available and offered me a standard Mercedes convertible instead. This is not even close to the same category of car, and I had paid extra for the specific model! After a lengthy discussion, he offered me a GTR instead but said there'd be an additional $109 fee, which I reluctantly accepted for the GTR. Then, after some keyboard clicks, he told me the GTR was also unavailable and offered me a Mercedes CLA 43 for free, mentioning multiple times that it was free. I assumed this was a free upgrade from the Corvette, as the CLA 43 is much cheaper in the US compared to the Corvette, let alone the GTR. He even promised a full tank of fuel as compensation. I almost hugged him for that, but you know, there's always a twist! I was still charged $109. When returning the car, I asked for confirmation and was told I agreed to the added cost. Are you kidding me? A CLA 43 instead of a Corvette for an extra $109 even though it's my reserved model that you did not have? The employee from that day was nowhere to be found. I handed over the key and left. I will never choose Hertz again! Additionally, there was another issue. When I realized I might be charged, I proactively contacted the rental platform. The customer service said they would help but later sent me an email stating: 'The store's phone is unreachable, please handle it yourself!' Honestly, why are you not as responsive when taking payments? Ridiculous!

Like: All was great!
Dislike: Nothing

The reserved specific model was not available, initially offered an upgrade from C300 to Audi A3
