実は海外旅行でレンタカーを借りるのは初めてでした。

The pickup location is at the airport exit, which is very convenient. The process is simple, and the car is in good condition, having only driven about 40,000 kilometers. Returning the car is straightforward: just park it in the parking lot and hand the keys to the front desk. Providing customers with the roadside assistance number from the rental company would be even more convenient.

I rented a Highlander. However, after picking up the car, I found that both the front and rear cigarette lighters were not working, so I couldn't use the GPS. I had to return to Hertz and they said they were out of Highlanders and offered me a car called Captiva instead. After driving for about twelve or thirteen days, I went to the Hertz office in Dunedin to switch back to a Highlander because my car needed maintenance. Again, they told me there were no Highlanders available but said they could lower my rental price because the car I was driving was a lower-tier model than the Highlander. Well, they only mentioned this now. At the end of my trip, when I returned the car in the local office at around 5:00 PM and specifically requested an adjustment in the rental price, the staff said the manager had already left and I would have to wait until the next day for a response. But I was flying out that night. I waited for two or three more days without any reply, so I emailed Hertz's customer service. After several days, they responded, saying they could only reduce the price by 100 NZD including tax, even though the price difference on their website for the same season was 285 NZD. After many email exchanges, they finally said there's no further adjustment that could be made. This is Hertz's service for you. I thought choosing Hertz would mean better service, but clearly not. The staff at the pickup location was dishonest.

The only issue is that the location is a bit hard to find, but everything else was great and service was good

Queue time was quite long.

Hertz rental company employees are professional and provide detailed explanations of vehicle conditions, New Zealand road conditions, driving precautions, and car insurance. Due to being a large company, there are many people picking up cars, resulting in longer waiting times. The vehicle condition is average, with several minor scratches on the exterior. Make sure to record and confirm these with rental company staff when picking up the car.
