Beware extra charges from hire provider

It took a while to complete paperwork thus time. I’m not sure why as Zi am a Gold member and have rented from this office 4 times in the last 6 months. The car they finally gave me was not the category I rented and much larger than I wanted. I had to change it in the garage and had to wait again for a smaller car. All in all, it was a very long process to rent a car for a day.

It was terrible picking up the car. When we arrived at 10pm with pregnant wife and 2 under 4 it made no difference and we were 26th in the queue with the car rental place closing at 12pm. How can they not see that they would need more than 2 staff working. People were going crazy. We ended up having to spent £550 to get a car!

Staff at counter was very rude at drop off. Staff at pickup were dismissive and not helpful. Forced car on us we did not want or book. They tried to up sell us to get what we had originally booked. Horrible hertz.

Ticket system at the desk had run out of paper leaving numerous customers confused about how to queue. Staff didn’t seem particularly interested in resolving the problem. Once being served, I was processed quickly and efficiently.

Great price, quick and easy booking process.

Second time I used Hertz and found the service below average and the amount of time for picking up car way too long.
