Extremely satisfied

This time, I picked up the car from the Hertz store at Perth Airport. The service is available until midnight, so you don't need to worry too much about the typical flight times. The pick-up process was much faster compared to the Hertz in Melbourne, possibly because I had rental information saved from a few days earlier at the Melbourne store. The service staff were very friendly. I had reserved a Nissan X-Trail, but when I arrived, they prepared a Toyota Highlander for me. I told the staff I preferred a mid-sized SUV and ideally the Kia Sportage I had driven earlier. The staff apologized and informed me they didn't have the Sportage available, but after calling a colleague, they managed to get a Subaru Forester for me within ten minutes. The car was almost new with only 12,000 km on it and no visible scratches. The staff asked if I had insurance, and I confirmed I had full coverage, so they didn't ask further. Overall, it was a great experience.

The rental process was very smooth.

Poor counter staffs. The car we booked was not available and they tried to downgrade us to another car that can never put all our luggages inside. We booked a bigger car foreseeing we needed to put in quite a number of luggages. In similar cases in the past, we would be upgraded to another bigger car only instead of being pushed into a smaller car. 1, pirce is not the same. 2, it simply didn’t work! It took us 30 mins. We insisted and then was asked to wait for another 30 mins because they needed to wash the car! I think all these should have been managed better given they are clear what kind of cars customers have booked! I will go with another car rental company next time!
