Easy and cheap way to rent cars

I scheduled a car pickup for 1:30 PM, but due to the large crowds during the Spring Festival, after completing the paperwork, the car was still not ready. I ended up waiting for over an hour and finally got the car close to 3 PM.

We needed a small car for a short trip, but when we arrived 30 minutes early at the car rental company, they told us there were no cars available. They offered an upgrade for an additional 20 euros per day or we could wait for more than half an hour. Since an automatic car is more convenient, we accepted the upgrade. Hertz has always provided good cars, and this time it was a car with just over 10,000 kilometers on it. It worked great over the past few days. Returning the car was also easy, no issues with insurance. We returned the car a day early due to a change in plans and asked if we could get some discount for that, they agreed initially but didn't give any discount in the end.

Quite good

The official translation provided by the rental platform was not accepted on site. They insisted I get a translation from the car rental company, which took a long time. I finally got the car after much hassle. Initially, they gave me a manual car, saying the staff entered the wrong info, making me wait an additional 30 minutes to get another car.

Hertz was easy to find, and the car was in good condition. I initially rented a Sportage, but there were none available, so they upgraded me to a BMW for free. That's the difference with big companies.
