Rented a Polestar 2 for 9 days, very impressed with the car. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, Mathew needs a call out in particular for efficient and speedy service. Will rent the same car again.

Hertz Customer

Hertz Customer
Lady at desk was most helpful , didn’t catch her name but reg we had was DN21UHJ . Explained everything to us , the one query I had was in relation to the damage on car (marked as slight/scratch) but was a dent needing a body shop. The lady said as the mark was clearly seen in picture shown it would be ok. My cc deposit should be returned overnight and all will be good . Can’t fault the service given to me by lady on duty though. Read more
