We had clicked upgrade at the very last option but it took away our automatic car unknowingly (which was more expensive and specifically set) when we did and caused lots of issues. Pickup took forever (roughly an hour), drop off was fine. Car was good, but had to drive a manual on the other side of the road which was not ideal. Upgrade didn’t actually upgrade our car class either.

The price was absolutely extortionate. I paid $750 for the rental in July, which was supposed to be fully paid, and when I arrived to pick up the car, I had all my insurance documents on hand, they charged me another €450, then after that, my choices were, pay €6000 deposit, which I never was made aware of and did not have, or lose the money I already paid, or pay another $1650. These were horrible options at 5am. The car that I thought was going to cost $750, actually cost me $2800. I will never rent a car through Kayak or Sixt again in my life. A disgraceful way to treat travellers coming to visit a country. Ruined my vacation and stripped me of all my spending money for my vacation.

During pick up I thought I was attending a circus act! Very unorganized and uncaring group of workers. The lady at the front desk was excellent but the experience after that was chaotic! It took one and a half hrs.to finally get the vehicle we ordered two months earlier. They had the four of us outside standing in a windy cold morning telling us every 10 minutes that the car would be ready in 10 minutes. No bathroom and no place to sit. Very unprofessional!

Pick-up was smooth and fast, Kevin who helped me was informative and adept. Drop-off was smooth, too. One improvement would be Enterprise signage that is a bit more prominent when you bring the car back.

Said don’t have the intermediate car we reserved. Tried to give us smaller car then tried to give larger Volvo with a 700 upgrade price tag. Didn’t give options for insurance just charged after they wouldn’t give options on car I took Volvo and then we went out to car and saw there were other intermediate cars and went back in and had them give me a different car. Would never use hertz again. They try to rip people off in other countries .

There wasn't alot to like. Once we arrived at the Hertz counter we were told that we would have to pay an additional 50 euros a day for insurance which ended up costing almost as much as the vehicle. I couldn't remember after being awake for 24 hours if I had purchased third party insurance and the guy behind the counter was interested in helping find out. I fact, he made sure to advise us that they would require and $5,000 dollar hold if we did have third party insurance. Once we got fleeced at the check out counter we made our way down to the vehicle where the attendant drove the car up, parked it and threw me the keys. Zero explanation on how the vehicle operated, seats stowed or any of the controls worked. Very unsatisfied with the whole experience.
