Hertz - Fisherman's Wharf Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Service staff was fast and professional. Pick up with smooth with no extra questions asked and no upsell. They took a credit card for holding charge, but other than that, it was take the keys and go.

They gave us a brand new Toyota Sienna (only 16 miles driven), I bought the full insurance package and they didn’t push any other insurance or services. The car had 1/4 tank of gas when we rented it, so we returned it with the same amount.

When picking up the car, the child seat didn’t fit properly, but the staff patiently helped us to replace it and familiarize ourselves with the car’s features. Until returning the car at the airport, we truly experienced Hertz’s leading position. The parking lot has complete facilities, including self-service refueling, car washing, and a 24-hour airport shuttle. The service is excellent! The return process was simple and straightforward, and the deposit was refunded immediately after inspection! I will choose Hertz again next time!

Extremely dissatisfied. The downtown office claimed to close at 6 PM, but for two consecutive days, it was already locked by 4 PM. There wasn't even a place to leave the keys. Meanwhile, the Sixt office next door always had staff present. After visiting three different locations, I still couldn't return the car downtown at 4 PM, even on workdays, Thursday and Friday. Leaving the car at the hotel incurred a $50 per night fee. Early the next morning, before 8 AM, I had to return the car to the airport. During the self-service checkout, they charged me for two extra days. Just one extra minute, and they counted it as a whole day!! Other companies offer much better service!

Pick-up and drop-off were both very quick.

The service was severely lacking, causing unnecessary losses for the customer. Compensation is required!

The wait wasn't long, but they said the reserved car was not available and offered a lower class vehicle. After explaining that it wasn't acceptable, they told us to wait. Later, another staff member came and provided a vehicle of the same class as reserved.

Very satisfied

Just follow the map and you can find it. The pickup spot is in the adjacent parking lot.

Unhappy with pickup, satisfied with drop-off. Two overweight African American women were arrogant during pickup and gave me an old car. I didn't rent a premium car, but the fuel tank wasn't full and the low tire pressure warning was already on, clearly indicating no prior inspection had been conducted. During drop-off, a handsome inspector noticed a scratch and asked if there had been an accident. Upon confirming nothing was wrong, he reassured me that insurance would take care of it and told us we could leave after filling out a form. Extremely handsome, right?

Smooth process, satisfied with the service!

Very satisfied. Despite the language barrier, the staff immediately used translation apps on their phones to ensure smooth communication!

Very satisfied

Since I had a lot of luggage, the car rental company upgraded me to a Volvo XC90. It was a very thoughtful and customer-friendly service. I’m very satisfied with this car rental experience.

Very satisfied.

Quick pickup process, but the service was a bit cold.

On the highway, the tire burst, and they made us wait on the roadside for over an hour before the tow truck arrived. Instead of towing the car to a nearby location just a few kilometers away, they insisted on taking it to San Jose Airport, which is more than 100 kilometers away. It was completely unreasonable. We tried to explain to Hertz customer service that we were stranded on a dangerous highway and rushing to Los Angeles Airport to catch a flight, but they stuck to their standard responses and ignored our requests. We had no choice but to call the police and arrange for a nearby repair shop ourselves. In the end, we had to pay for the tow and tire replacement out of pocket, wasting time and costing us over 12,000 yuan in plane tickets. On that day, it was pouring rain in Monterey, and we got completely soaked while checking the tire. Even now, I still feel furious when I think about it! A few days ago, we received a charge of $465 on my credit card from Hertz. This was an additional fee (we were told at the time of return that there would be a $47 refueling charge, but other fees would be determined later).

Excellent
