We booked a Volvo XC60 but were given a BMW X3 ES RK. They said it was the same, and because our English isn't great, we didn’t ask if there were extra charges. Later, we found out there was an extra charge of 600 euros for our 59-day rental. Also, after driving 2,000 km, the screen showed a warning to replace the engine oil. I feel like they gave us a problematic car. This is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of situation, and it's really frustrating. We called three times but no one answered. When we emailed, they told us to visit the nearest Hertz branch to have the car replaced. At that time, we were in Norway, but the Hertz branch in Norway told us that since the car was rented in France, the issue had to be resolved with the French office. In the end, we just kept driving that car until this trip was over.

Due to the pandemic, we were given a hard time by other rental companies in Paris, but Hertz was very friendly and rented a car to us. To show my gratitude, I upgraded the vehicle. However, due to changes in our return schedule, we needed to switch to a different drop-off location and exchange the car earlier. Firstly, contacting their customer service by phone was very difficult. Secondly, there were errors in the final bill. Nevertheless, after communicating with QEEQ customer service, the extra charges were refunded.

During the rental period, the car key was stolen in a different city. The rental company demanded a 350-euro fine. Their internal processes were very slow, which delayed the delivery of the spare key. It took a full four days to send the key from Paris to Paris, delaying the return of the car. This caused the contract to expire before the car could be returned, and they charged a high extension fee of 129 euros per day for six days. Very unreliable.

Picking up the car at Terminal 2E in Paris is convenient and quick.

It's easy to find. You can see it right after exiting the terminal. Very convenient.
