I rented a car from Hertz for my trip through Spain and Portugal, covering over 3000 kilometers, and I was very satisfied. At first, I couldn’t find a document due to my own mistake, and I thought the rental company hadn’t provided it. However, the customer service team was incredibly patient and communicated with me via email until the issue was resolved. Once I found the document, they responded promptly to clear up the misunderstanding. I really appreciate their help! Picking up and returning the car was super convenient. The car itself was in great condition and had a navigation system that would even remind you when it’s time to signal or change lanes. It would also suggest taking a coffee break if needed.
Picked up the car at Barcelona Airport T1 and it was super easy to find the rental desk. The staff were locals and incredibly friendly. They suggested an upgrade and local insurance, but when we declined there was no hard sell at all, which I really appreciated. There was a small hiccup when we went to actually get the car though—the team hadn’t brought out the model we’d booked, so we ended up waiting in the parking lot for about an hour. In the end they admitted it was their mistake and upgraded us to a nearly brand-new Volvo XC40 with just over 3,000 km on it, which felt like fair compensation. Returning the car was smooth too: the staff did a quick walk-around, found no issues, and we were done. The only downside of the trip was getting a parking ticket in Barcelona, which they said can only be processed after 15 days. Hope everyone else has a smooth trip too!
I went ahead and bought full coverage on my own so I wouldn’t have to deal with any disputes if something happened. The insurance ended up costing more than the rental itself, but I guess that’s the price of peace of mind.
The car had two issues:
1. Incorrect warning about low tire pressure.
2. Oil wasn't checked, resulting in being forced to add oil halfway through the trip.
Overall satisfied, the receptionist was enthusiastic and responsible, but the rental location was quite hard to find and I had to circle around several times.
Our self-drive trip in Spain went really smoothly overall. There was just one incident in downtown Barcelona: while we were stopped at a red light, an Indian guy on a motorbike punctured our right rear tire. We called for roadside assistance and the rental company responded really quickly, sending both a tow truck and a taxi. We took the taxi back to the rental office to swap cars. Returning the car was super easy too—you just park in the designated area and drop the keys in the mailbox. The service was excellent!
