Hertz Customer
My experience with this rental service was exceptional from start to finish. The pickup process was seamless, and I was assisted by a professional and approachable representative who provided me with the lowest-mileage Polestar 2. The car itself was absolutely fantastic, making for an outstanding driving experience. Upon returning the vehicle, I encountered no issues, and I was met with the same high standard of customer service. The overnight team, Moe and Dhiresh, truly went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and pleasant return process. Their hospitality was remarkable—they even offered coffee to my family and me as soon as we arrived. Their dedication and hard work, even during late-night shifts, did not go unnoticed. They consistently delivered exceptional service with professionalism and warmth. I am deeply grateful for their efforts and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this service and will certainly be returning in the future. Read more

Place a worng order in manual drive middium suv and have to pay an 90 ponds upgrade fee to get an automatic. The staff strongly recommend me to take a Benz GLC model and kindly offer some discounts. Paid 100 ponds extra compare to original order. Car have some scratch when I pickup. This model is a bit old , touch panel responds a bit slow and consums a lot gas. Condition is okay and didn't get any problem during the rental period. Return is fast without extra fee . Drivers of their shuttle bus are either gentleman style or quite funny , I feel very pleasant while take the ride. Read more
