The waiting time was over 30 minutes, and they didn't have the V40 I reserved, so they immediately upgraded me to an Escape SUV.

I have rented cars in Germany twice. The first time I rented an Audi A4 estate, but since they didn't have it, they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60, which was okay. This time I booked a Mercedes E-class estate, and again, they didn't have it, so they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60. Initially, I was a bit upset, but I found the XC60's noise insulation to be much better than the E-class estate I rented in the UK, and it had more space. The interior quality is much lower, and the driving feel of the Mercedes is definitely a class above Volvo.

There is a wide range of vehicles to choose from, the location of the car lot is convenient, the cars are new, and the process is fast and simple. However, be cautious as they may claim that the car you originally booked is unavailable and try to upsell you to a more expensive, luxurious model, along with unnecessary insurance and equipment. The additional insurance and equipment they offer are quite pricey. In my opinion, roads in Europe are generally good, and drivers tend to follow the rules; if you have good driving skills and are cautious, the basic insurance is usually sufficient. Dare to say 'no' to their 'enthusiasm'.

Hertz is quite popular, so the line was a bit slow. They gave us the same model we reserved, and the service was very attentive.

Good and quick

Easy to use.
