everything else was fine except the fact that we were charged extra than the price that we were told on the reservation. the staff told us that they would give us an upper class vehicle with no additional charges but in the end we were charged 71 dollars more even though we left the car with full gas and made no damages

There are always small details, one can complain about, but the overall experience was good.

I booked a small car but got an SUV. It used up much more fuel than expected.

In the darkness of the parking lot under the airport, I did not notice that the interior of the car had not been cleaned and the tank was only three quarters full!

Very good at booking, but bad surprise once returned the vehicle: I had paid 130 € including everything, but Hertz took me 52 € in addition including 16 € for use abroad for which I had been 'agreement. There is therefore a surplus of € 36 that I had not expected without explanation. It is better to book directly with car rentals to avoid surprises ☹️.

Take charge of the car at the airport; the car was quite damaged and no way to claim another vehicle because staff were busy elsewhere. I was also charged additional fees such as car abandonment fees, fees to cross the border .... In the end, instead of 127 € (buyback franchise included) I paid € 180 for 6 days rental for a damaged car and additional costs not justified. Having used to rent cars, this is the first time I'm having like that ... For my part, I would not choose Herzt for my future travels
