As expected from a big company, both pickup and return were very fast, no upselling of insurance, and the car was new.

I returned the car less than 30 minutes late, but they charged me an extra $30. This is unreasonable. I can understand paying proportionally for the extra time, but this rental policy is unacceptable. I've rented cars overseas many times and never encountered this situation.

When I arrived at the store, it was already 1 AM. The staff didn't say anything and just asked me to swipe my card. I thought it was for a deposit, so we quickly took the car since everyone was tired. Later, I discovered that $249.47 had been charged directly to my credit card for insurance. I had two rentals; during the first one in Los Angeles, the staff introduced several types of insurance and only charged us extra after we agreed. However, in San Francisco, the insurance fee was charged without my consent or even my knowledge. This was very disappointing. Additionally, the car rented during the first trip had a battery issue on December 10th, which wasted a whole half day of our time meant for exploring the Grand Canyon. The case number for that issue is 160322227. I chose this company because of its reputation, but my overall experience was not satisfactory.

Hertz stands for the highest service quality and vehicle condition, nothing more needs to be said.
