Clearly deceiving consumers. Initially said they would give us a Volkswagen, later I mentioned we booked a Mercedes, and then they just found a sedan version, not the wagon we booked. Our luggage almost didn't fit.

Before my trip, I learned from Hertz staff in Hong Kong that the actual car models available for the type I booked would only be Ford Galaxy 7 Seats and Ford Tourneo 7 Seats (the rental car reviews also only listed these two default models). On July 29, when I picked up the car at Munich Airport, the counter staff, Hofmann M., informed me that the actual car available was a smaller Ford S-Max. I immediately objected, but he insisted that the Ford S-Max was in the same category (which later proved to be untrue). Because the Ford S-Max was too small, Hofmann M. suggested that I could rent a Mercedes Benz V-class 8 seats for an additional Euro 300 without the Cross Border Fee. To avoid travel delays, I reluctantly agreed. He then printed the Rental Record for me, and after reviewing it, I questioned the last three charges (Fuel option: Euro 73.24, Location service charge: Euro 69.00, and Tax: Euro 72.82). He assured me that if I returned the car with a full tank, these charges wouldn't apply, so I signed the new Rental Record. On August 14, after returning the car, I found out from the Hertz Statement of Charges that the Location service charge: Euro 69.00 and Tax: Euro 72.82 were still charged. First, if Hertz had provided me with the Ford Galaxy or Ford Tourneo as per the contract, I wouldn't have needed to pay extra for an upgrade, which is the root of the problem. Second, if Hertz couldn't provide the booked car model and needed to upgrade, the upgrade should have been free. Third, Hofmann M. stated that only an additional Euro 300 was required and assured me that the last three charges wouldn't apply, which led to my agreement and signature. His sales tactics were basically fraudulent.

Good experience, but the final payment hasn't been completed yet, so I can't give a full evaluation.

The receipt amount printed at the time of return was incorrect, showing 25 euros more. After discussing with the counter staff and presenting the paper order, I received a correct receipt.

Hertz at Munich Airport has many customers picking up cars, but the staff is very friendly and does not aggressively upsell. They upgraded us for free to a Volvo XC90 diesel, which has plenty of space. If you only have two pieces of luggage, it can seat seven people. It comes with a built-in navigation system with both Chinese and English subtitles; the English version is more accurate and has a wider search range. The car was brand new with excellent performance, providing a superb driving experience.
