Think twice before hiring Electric. I rented a Polestar from Glasgow Airport and recommend that drivers are better advised on the limitations of hiring an electric car in Scotland. I was only 1 hour north of Glasgow in Arrochar but found it very difficult to find suitable charging spots. The Shell card that comes with the car is incompatible with the Charge Place Scotland chargers located in several towns and the web app was also incompatible. I found myself almost stuck, having to use a Pod Point at a holiday park that charged extremely slowly, going up about 7% in over 1 hour. The car itself was nice but I do think drivers should be better advised about the infrastructure or provided with a Charge Place Scotland RFID card that actually allows one to charge the car. Unless I was staying near very urban areas, I would probably stick with petrol in future (sadly), until the infrastructure improves.

I would have put 3 stars for this, but the guys at the desk were so courteous and friendly, it definitely helped the process! I got here at 8 am on a Monday when they opened, thinking it would be more efficient before they got busy, but I had to wait to an hour for my car to be ready, and the people after me who came at 9 got their cars within minutes. There was also some confusion with how they charged my card, but the customer service representative explained it and it all went through okay. They don’t charge you right away for the full amount of the rental. They put a hold on your card for the full amount, inspect the car when you get back, then put the charge through. I would also have gotten different insurance because the insurance at the counter was super expensive. When I had to fly home, the reps showed me how to get into the airport and got me a cart for my luggage. They also had given me recommendations on places to visit when I first picked up my car.

I had a lot of trouble finding a good price, with the Hertz call centre quoting prices far and above the price shown on the website. We had a very big rental requirement, and considering what we were going to pay, an effort from the quote desk would have been appreciated. In the end, I figured it out myself, saving several thousand pounds, but losing hair in the process. HOWEVER! **The ladies and gentlemen at the counter at the Glasgow Airport Hertz were absolutely excellent. Everything was honoured as stated. They were cheerful, helpful, and honest.** I was disappointed to be moved from a Vauxhall to a Kia, but Hertz was clear in their earlier communications that the reserved model might be changed. Truthfully, I've never received the car I've asked for in a rental reservation. It's just the nature of supply and demand in that industry. All in all, this was a good experience. Would recommend.

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:
If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so.
Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself.
The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:
3 x weekly pump price taken from the EU Commission Energy website.
We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.
Electric vehicles:
Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee for the missing kWh. The per kWh fee changes from time to time with energy price adjustments but the current per kWh fee amount is available at the pick-up location.
Please see recharging policy
