The Hertz store is spacious and easy to locate, situated in the most convenient locations. The service process is efficient, and the customer service is very good. This time, they even provided a free upgrade to a Volvo XC60 model.
The pickup time was outside the store's regular hours, but I was pleasantly surprised to find someone at the counter helping out, and the wait wasn’t long.
First time renting with Hertz and it was a pretty good experience. The car was very new, less than 30,000 km on it and still had that new-car smell. They said there might be an early return fee but it didn’t seem to be charged in the end. Overall, nothing unpleasant at all.
The counter is right inside the airport, with three staff working at the same time, so there’s basically no waiting. The pickup and return process is very clear and straightforward.
When confirming the car rental, the initial payment was listed as 9,215 RMB (9,958 HKD). However, the actual transaction was processed in USD, resulting in a first payment of 10,251.98 HKD, which is 298.98 HKD higher than expected. I find this unreasonable because the company explicitly showed the amount as 9,215 RMB, equivalent to 9,958 HKD. Additionally, when picking up the car, both the exterior and interior of the vehicle were rather dirty. Other than that, everything else was satisfactory.
This was my second time renting a car overseas with Hertz. We originally booked a Volvo XC60 and were a bit worried they wouldn’t have that model, but they ended up giving us a free upgrade to a nearly brand‑new XC90 with just over 6,000 km on it. Such a great surprise! The whole pickup and drop‑off process was super smooth. When we returned the car, there was a staff member right there in the lot; the handsome guy even drove us and all our luggage back to the airport terminal, which felt really thoughtful. He took one quick look at the car, told us we could take photos or not, totally up to us, he didn’t mind at all—really chill and easygoing, we had a good laugh. We’ll definitely choose Hertz again next time without hesitation. One reminder: the rental info says you must use the main driver’s credit card for the deposit at pickup, but we actually used our travel companion’s card and it was fine. Also, you can only pick up the car up to 30 minutes before your scheduled time; any earlier and they’ll charge extra. The friendly guy at the counter explained that clearly, so we just waited until exactly 30 minutes before to do the paperwork. The only thing I forgot to ask about was this: the terms say that if no one is working that day, you have to collect the keys from a key box and the deposit must be charged to the same card used when booking. The problem is, we can’t use VISA cards in China, so we had to book with a UnionPay credit card, which doesn’t work overseas. We asked QEEQ customer service, and they only replied that there would be staff at the counter on our rental day. In the end there really was someone working, but before that we were pretty anxious about it.
It was not possible to rent a gasoline car for one-way rental, and I had to switch to an electric car at the last minute. Initially, the counter staff gave us a small car, but after checking the car, we realized it couldn’t fit three large pieces of luggage. We returned to the counter to negotiate for a larger car.
