CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ IN LOS ANGELES

Convenient and fast, no forced insurance. The only drawback was that we didn't get the car we ordered; instead, we got a Buick Encore, which is smaller and had 7,000 miles on it.

Hertz is quite good. The rental process is convenient, car exchange is fast, and the vehicles are relatively new.

The rental location had only 2 employees. When I arrived, there was no line, and I only had to wait a short while. As long as you book in advance, everything can be arranged.

A large company, borrowing and returning the car is very simple and convenient

They aggressively pushed insurance to Chinese customers. When refused, we were told there were no Toyota Sequoia SUVs (which start at 500,000 RMB in China) available and were given a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV (which starts at 110,000 RMB in China) instead. When questioned, they blatantly lied, claiming it's the same class of car. We couldn't fit our luggage and had to pay extra to upgrade and buy Hertz-recommended insurance again. This was the first time we encountered such a shameless car rental company after renting cars abroad multiple times. Even giving them one star feels too generous.

Both renting and returning the car were very easy. The shuttle bus was convenient. I left my cigarette lighter USB adapter in the car when returning it, but the staff reminded me and returned it to me.

At Union Station, an Indian staff member was rude, leaving me aside while constantly being attentive to other customers, showing clear signs of discrimination. After waiting patiently for over an hour and loudly asking 'why?' did he finally give me the keys. The car was not the one I reserved, and the seats were a bit dirty. It was a bad experience!

Disappointed

Just a bit expensive...

The car is relatively new, only 3800 miles driven

The service was excellent, and the staff provided thorough explanations.

Long wait time, customer service kept pushing insurance and car upgrades. The first quote was nearly $300, which I refused. Then they said there was a discount for China Eastern or Air China members, obviously trying to rip me off. When I still refused, they said they didn't have the model I wanted and gave me a car parked in a corner. After dragging our luggage around to find the car, the tank was empty. I went back to the service desk, and they gave me another car at the opposite end of the lot. It took an hour and a half in total! They claim to be the biggest company.

Like: A reliable car.
Dislike: No comment.

Very good.

A very pleasant car rental experience. As soon as you exit Los Angeles airport, you can take their free shuttle to the rental office. The cars are nice, and even the same models seem better equipped than those in China. When returning the car in Las Vegas, I didn't know and thought returns could be made in the city, so I took many unnecessary detours and wasted a lot of time. Reminding everyone to handle car returns at the airport in Las Vegas.

They tried to sell extra insurance, and claimed my reserved car wasn't available, suggesting other cars that required additional payment. Initially, the staff quoted an extra $48 per day, but when I said it was too expensive, someone who said they were a manager offered it for $24 per day. Since it was late and I needed to hit the road, I had no choice but to agree. It felt like a scam.

The airport shuttle goes directly to the car rental store, which takes about five minutes. The shuttle driver was very friendly. Upon arrival at the car rental company, there were staff members to guide me, and they were very enthusiastic. There was a line for processing the paperwork, but it didn't take long. The service staff were surprised to see that I was returning the car in Chicago. I told them I was going to drive Route 66. I had booked a Nissan Quest but waited for a long time, so they ended up giving me a Dodge, which I was very happy with. It made me feel more secure for my long trip. The car was almost new, having only driven over 2,000 miles. The fuel tank capacity was also high, more than a Toyota Sienna. While a full tank on a Sienna shows around 300 miles, the Dodge can reach up to 500 miles, which is reassuring when driving long distances without frequent gas stations. Of course, there are plenty of gas stations on Route 66. For Highway 1, I would recommend a vehicle with a large fuel tank. After confirming the vehicle, take the slip, find your assigned parking space number, and then just drive off.

Everyone, do not choose Hertz! It's really a scam!! I was charged $300 for a cleaning fee! Did I drive the car into a sewer or what?! And I specifically cleaned it! I filled up the gas tank, yet they said it wasn't full! Sigh! Seriously, do not choose Hertz!!!!!!

Wide selection of new cars. However, both times they insisted on recommending I purchase a full tank of gas and roadside assistance. It's fine if it’s suitable, but even after I said no a couple of times, they still suggested it. Haha, not sure if it's really necessary.

The service was mediocre, and the car model was completely different.
