The attendant at the counter refused to let me have the vehicle at the price confirmed in my e mail. She alleged that I needed a foreign passport to get that rate , as she insisted that was the T’s&C’s . After a lengthy debate about the issue wherein I showed her that nowhere was such T&c indicated, I had to call for senior management to intervene. I was significantly delayed late at night .

Hertz classifies the Rav 4 and the Corolla Cross in the same class. So you think you are getting more for your money, but you aren't. Also you have to read the small print. The deposit that you have to leave if you useyour own insurance was so big that I had to buy their insurance so the hire cost me 50% more than I budgeted.

My flight was delayed and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone to change my reservation. When I made it to my destination I was told it was canceled and twice as much to rebook.
