How does Hertz treat you

[Poojou]

So landed to absolute chaos at Melbourne airport today across all the car rental places (teach me to land at peak business time)

Was allocated a long range polestar but got to the car and found it was not a dual motor. Had a sniff around and actually found a facelifted dual motor hiding out right next to the office.

Asked them to switch - no problems. Apparently on their system a polestar is a polestar is a polestar when in fact they have at least 3 variants I've seen.

I'd hate to have not had status getting a car this morning... Wednesdays apparently

@Poojou do Hertz offer no recharge on EVs like Europcar, or is it return 80% full?

You have to have the charged to around 90% I believe, let me double check my paperwork

I've rented from Hertz Fyshwick a couple of times recently (as a Gold) and received a Subaru on both occasions (a Forester and a Crosstrek).

I found both vehicles to be underwhelming, gas guzzlers and rather clunky, when compared with other modern SUV's, such as RAV4 and CX30.

As for a Polestar, I wouldn't wish one on anybody (at least anyone wanting to travel a fair few km's). I was forced to take one at Hertz LHR a few years ago, as they claimed they didn't have any ICE cars available, even though I had reserved one. For someone needing to do a 1,000 km round trip, it didn't work terribly well. But that's another story.

Had the Forester ex-SYD last Xmas - it's rubbish.
