Really easy process from pick up to drop off. Only thing that was a bit of a surprise and that may be in the details was the excess amount in case of an accident. The excess was >$5,000. Quite a shock, but we had no issues and so did not have any concerns.

I rang to confirm car as I wanted a particular car and was told definitely getting what I reserved, when I went to pick up there was a different car, but when I told them about the annoyance they brought the car from another location for me I just had to wait 15 - 20 mins which was fantastic I just wished they had done that in the beginning and then I wouldn’t of had to wait. But car was amazing and I still wish I never had to return it. I am still in mourning 🙇🏽‍♀️Lol

Free upgrade, from a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes a class. And great value even, without considering the upgrade.

We chose to pick up and drop off the vehicle at Canberra airport. This was not done. We had the inconvenience of getting to and from Mitchell to pick up/drop off the car. None of the cars operating procedures were explained to us by Hertz staff. The car itself was good and economical to drive, but were not particularly impressed with the Hertz’s staff.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The reservation was cancelled after I booked the advertised car online through a 3rd party website. It was a very disappointing experience to have to try again 5 times to actually have the booking accepted. Why don't the 3rd party rental companies and Thrifty communicate better so customers actually have a good experience instead of tearing out their hair?
