I was not given a code for entering garage.l when was getting car in Zurich. Instead, I was given a phone number to call. This number was not responding. As the result I have missed my private excursion in Basel. I was lucky that someone else was also returning car and had a garage code. Otherwise, I would miss a lot of very expensive events.

Our rep in Zurich was wonderful… very kind lady who helped us have a great experience. There were long lines for check in but thanks to my Hertz Gold acct, was able to get handled quickly. Very much appreciated the upgraded vehicle. Cat return was also great other than not clear where to park in the underground garage… had to ask another company to direct me to the Hertz area. Overall, great experience… thank you!

Everything was great, but the problem is, on the website it was showing 52 dollars for the car and 18 dollars for the base insurance. But when I went there I paid 100 francs for the car and base insurance.

The employees in Hertz were very polite and helpful. The only thing is that all insurance details were not shown in the Kayak app, and in my opinion the options should be implemented correctly because they are super useful for the customers.

The car was good, however, the girl at the counter failed to inform me that there was a cap on the km I could drive, even tho she asked me where I was heading. You would think they can easily calculate the KM in their booking system. I've requested a refund for the extra charge, under the transparency consumer laws in Switzerland. So dodgy.

Tons of hidden cost and basic insurance doubled the cost of the car we were originally quoted $400 for the entire trip with everything they wanted to charge $1600 to my card. I wasn’t planning for that much And wasn’t able to pick up the car.

My worst experience in rental cars in a decade. I have rented cars across many countries and continents and ironically the worst experience was in Switzerland. There was missing information in the pick up. They lied about insurance of the car in the pick up. The insurance value was a daily amount and not a single amount like they mentioned. Also they overcharged 20CHF due to a reason they could not figure out at the dropoff and couldn't repay in it! needed to write an email to complain and still waiting for the money

the staff were great. we had 6 people and the 7- passenger Renault Espace we had was not very comfortable and had odd controls. the third row seating was only for children and difficult to get into. when you stopped, the driver seat moved back to aid exit, but that crushed the person sitting behind the driver. the shift stalk was too near two other stalks on the right of the steering wheel. too many controls were on the center screen, so difficult to figure out while driving. the espace hybrid, however, was very economical. a vw minivan would have been far more comfortable! (we rode in one) - same length, but taller, so more space.

Convertible

How can any words describe the experience I received??? Online the quote I agreed was £330 for 5 nights hire of a mini convertible. On the day I arrived I was told this figure was not correct and I should now pay £400 plus an additional £135 for insurance. Ok insurance fair enough, it’s high but it’s still a choice, but why the additional £70 above quoted price, which by the way stated includes ALL fees! However it get far worse, on the final day our flight was cancelled so I emailed asking to extended my booking 1 day… A new invoice arrives… £780!!! So what started at £330 ended up at £780… take off the £135 for insurance that’s an un-expected increase of £315 for an additional days hire… Oh and what did the advisor say at the airport… ‘Welcome to Switzerland, get used to it!’ Complaint raised, but of course no response…

Everything was great- the car was in excellent condition and the service was smooth. The only small point to mention is that the wait time at the airport pickup was a bit longer due to high demand. But that’s completely understandable and shows how popular Dollar is. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

Staff refused to give us the car at stated pick up time of 4pm and tried to upsell us to another car saying that the original car booked would not be available for 3 hours and we would have to wait. We only managed to get the car after over an hour of waiting and arguing with staff. Extremely aggressive and non stop use of scam tactics in an attempt to upsell.
