Not untypical... initially collecting the car is always worse than you’d like!

Good

The staff had very heavy accents, which made communication difficult despite their generally good attitudes. There were about 3 people in front of us, and we waited in line for half an hour. The most serious issue is that this Hertz location in Madrid overcharges customers, so be cautious. We picked up the car a few hours earlier than scheduled, and the staff used this as an excuse to charge us for an additional day (despite us already having prepaid the full amount). Initially, we thought the extra day displayed on the receipt was just indicating our rental period, but the staff never explained this issue, nor did they tell us that picking up the car a few hours early would incur an extra day's charge. We could've waited. Furthermore, we purchased their super cover insurance (which comes with an additional 21% tax), and they included the extra day's rental fee in the insurance tax calculation. When handing over the car, they told us that only the insurance fee would be deducted, with no further explanation of any additional charges. When we followed up with the rental platform, they initially said, 'Hertz over there said you were charged for returning the car late,' and later changed their story to, 'You were charged for picking up the car early.' We rented the car for approximately 81 hours, less than four days, but were overcharged by more than 90 euros. We've rented from Hertz before and never had such an issue. This time we've paid for a very bitter lesson. A severely bad review.

I had already paid in full, but the Hertz staff at the store canceled my car because I arrived late, and asked me to pay extra for a more expensive car. When I called QEEQ's Chinese customer service, they said they could not control Hertz and I needed to negotiate myself. I feel that QEEQ offers very low protection for customers, and Hertz is poorly managed with intentional price increases. After I insisted, they admitted I had paid in full and had to reserve the car for me. Even if I didn't pick up the car, it was still mine. Eventually, they provided a car of the same class, which proves they had a car but didn't want to give it to me initially. Their behavior was very malicious.

The staff at the pick-up location had a poor attitude and seemed impatient. The signage at the return location was not clear and the address was inaccurate.

When we received our paperwork from easyrent it stated that we could collect the vehicle at either the Hertz or Thrifty desk in Palma airport. When iI approached the Thrifty desk the operative Rita advised that I couldnt collect it here (despite wearing Hertz labelled clothing). I showed her the paper work that clearly said that the vehicle could be collected at either Hertz OR Thrifty, be she insisted that because there was a Hertz image on the paper work that the vehicle could only be colelcted at the Hertz desk. This continued for ten minutes of so and she eventually relented but told me in no uncertain terms that they wouldnt normally do this and that they were doing us a favour. I dont know if the paper work or the operative was wrong, either way it added undue stress to the process.
