We booked a Volvo XC60 but were given a BMW X3 ES RK. They said it was the same, and because our English isn't great, we didn’t ask if there were extra charges. Later, we found out there was an extra charge of 600 euros for our 59-day rental. Also, after driving 2,000 km, the screen showed a warning to replace the engine oil. I feel like they gave us a problematic car. This is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of situation, and it's really frustrating. We called three times but no one answered. When we emailed, they told us to visit the nearest Hertz branch to have the car replaced. At that time, we were in Norway, but the Hertz branch in Norway told us that since the car was rented in France, the issue had to be resolved with the French office. In the end, we just kept driving that car until this trip was over.

It was great. As a five-star member, I got a brand new car! The staff at the counter were very polite.

An additional 260 euros was charged during pickup, and the car model was changed

To avoid renting a 5 2 small 7-seater MPV, I specifically chose one of the only two large MPVs on the ZuZuCar website offered by Hertz (Citroen Spacetourer manual or similar). But at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 when signing the rental contract, I was given a Volkswagen Sharan (UH60 BB VW SHARAN GPS BVA), a typical 5 2 7-seater, which can't fit five 20-inch suitcases when seating five adults and a child. After repeatedly requesting a larger model, they said there were none available, and the only option was to pay more for a 9-seater. Looking at Hertz's model card on-site, the I group doesn't even have the Sharan. Is this compact 5 2 MPV really what ZuZuCar considers a large MPV?
