I was not given a code for entering garage.l when was getting car in Zurich. Instead, I was given a phone number to call. This number was not responding. As the result I have missed my private excursion in Basel. I was lucky that someone else was also returning car and had a garage code. Otherwise, I would miss a lot of very expensive events.

They have altered the terms of the agreement. Now, only a physical credit card is accepted. They've also changed the price for the insurance, and blocked $3,000 from our account. Additionally, the person in charge seems to be avoiding us.

Our rep in Zurich was wonderful… very kind lady who helped us have a great experience. There were long lines for check in but thanks to my Hertz Gold acct, was able to get handled quickly. Very much appreciated the upgraded vehicle. Cat return was also great other than not clear where to park in the underground garage… had to ask another company to direct me to the Hertz area. Overall, great experience… thank you!

Everything was great, but the problem is, on the website it was showing 52 dollars for the car and 18 dollars for the base insurance. But when I went there I paid 100 francs for the car and base insurance.

The employees in Hertz were very polite and helpful. The only thing is that all insurance details were not shown in the Kayak app, and in my opinion the options should be implemented correctly because they are super useful for the customers.

The car was good, however, the girl at the counter failed to inform me that there was a cap on the km I could drive, even tho she asked me where I was heading. You would think they can easily calculate the KM in their booking system. I've requested a refund for the extra charge, under the transparency consumer laws in Switzerland. So dodgy.

Tons of hidden cost and basic insurance doubled the cost of the car we were originally quoted $400 for the entire trip with everything they wanted to charge $1600 to my card. I wasn’t planning for that much And wasn’t able to pick up the car.

My worst experience in rental cars in a decade. I have rented cars across many countries and continents and ironically the worst experience was in Switzerland. There was missing information in the pick up. They lied about insurance of the car in the pick up. The insurance value was a daily amount and not a single amount like they mentioned. Also they overcharged 20CHF due to a reason they could not figure out at the dropoff and couldn't repay in it! needed to write an email to complain and still waiting for the money

Everything was great- the car was in excellent condition and the service was smooth. The only small point to mention is that the wait time at the airport pickup was a bit longer due to high demand. But that’s completely understandable and shows how popular Dollar is. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

Staff refused to give us the car at stated pick up time of 4pm and tried to upsell us to another car saying that the original car booked would not be available for 3 hours and we would have to wait. We only managed to get the car after over an hour of waiting and arguing with staff. Extremely aggressive and non stop use of scam tactics in an attempt to upsell.
