Excellent service and treated very well - thanks Hertz.
Hertz Customer
I had a great experience with Hertz in Bristol. I arrived exactly at 22:00, stressed and thinking that the counter would be closed. Instead, I was greeted by a very nice lady named Stef, who was happy to help and even added full insurance to the vehicle after hours. The car was already prepared at the entrance, and I even received an upgrade to a better car. I was extremely pleased with the exceptional service, which is rare at car rental counters. The car return process was also very easy and fast. There's a drop-off box and a dedicated line for dropping off the car. Overall, I am very happy with the service. Read more

Had been let down by another car rental company and arrived frazzled and at 10.50pm. Great service, friendly helpful staff. On the road within 15 minutes. Will make sure to use them again.

Eine sehr kurze und schnelle Rückgabe. Der Shuttle-Bus zum Airport kam auch gleich. Wir hatten viel mehr Zeit eingeplant, als wir dann tatsächlich benötigt haben.
