Hertz Car Rental in San Francisco, CA

The wait time was very long. I reserved the car for 1 PM, arrived at 12:30 PM, but only got the car at 2 PM.

Good service, easy and quick pickup and return.

I clearly purchased full insurance on Zuzuche, but Hertz couldn't see it. When I arrived at Hertz, I still had to deal with their aggressive upselling. For someone not fluent in English, it's very easy to fall into hidden charges. This time, I was forced to accept Hertz's full insurance and purchase a full tank of fuel.

The service was satisfactory, with no additional sales of extra charges.

Quick and easy car rental without unnecessary chatter or hidden fees.

Satisfied

Take my advice, book your car early and choose the largest size available if possible! Don't make the mistake I did—five people squeezing into a full-size SUV. After loading the luggage, it still felt cramped, and some of us are on the heavier side. I ended up paying extra to upgrade to a minivan. The staff member at pickup was very helpful, and the upgrade cost was reasonable within company policy. They provided us with a brand-new limited edition vehicle with only 200 miles on it. Luckily, we switched cars—my travel companions were very satisfied with the rest of the trip.

Still very satisfied.

Very satisfying.

On the highway, the tire burst, and they made us wait on the roadside for over an hour before the tow truck arrived. Instead of towing the car to a nearby location just a few kilometers away, they insisted on taking it to San Jose Airport, which is more than 100 kilometers away. It was completely unreasonable. We tried to explain to Hertz customer service that we were stranded on a dangerous highway and rushing to Los Angeles Airport to catch a flight, but they stuck to their standard responses and ignored our requests. We had no choice but to call the police and arrange for a nearby repair shop ourselves. In the end, we had to pay for the tow and tire replacement out of pocket, wasting time and costing us over 12,000 yuan in plane tickets. On that day, it was pouring rain in Monterey, and we got completely soaked while checking the tire. Even now, I still feel furious when I think about it! A few days ago, we received a charge of $465 on my credit card from Hertz. This was an additional fee (we were told at the time of return that there would be a $47 refueling charge, but other fees would be determined later).

I had already informed the rental company that I did not need any insurance, yet they forcibly added PAI/PEC. Additionally, they charged two deposits of $200 each, totaling $400, but the rental paperwork only shows a deposit of $200. However, my credit card records indicate two $200 charges. When returning the car, I was told the deposit authorization would be released on the same day, but it's already been two days and it hasn't been lifted yet. I hope QEEQ can help coordinate the refund of the deposit.

The communication was not smooth, and they didn’t provide the car model in my booking. It ended up costing much more.

Do not rent electric cars. Each charge costs $50, but it actually only requires $25–28. If you drive long distances in a day, you'll end up paying double the electricity fee, which is quite unreasonable.

Great.

The front desk staff patiently helped us resolve the issue.

A very good car rental company.

Quick pickup process, but the service was a bit cold.

Hertz is a large and reliable company with a fast process.

I reserved the car for 10:00 AM, but when I arrived at the store, there were no cars available. I had to wait for an hour and a half to get a car. The car was in poor condition and had nearly 80,000 kilometers on it. The fuel gauge was still one and a half bars away from being full. When I brought this up with the staff, they insisted it was considered a full tank. Worried about being treated unfairly, I decided to refill the tank completely before returning the car.

Quite satisfied, there are many offices nationwide.
