7.6 Good

Sasha, Sept 2020

Pros:

Anna-Cristina was very helpful and patient even though the line was long and she was the only attendant due to COVID regulations.

Cons:

I wasn't aware that I needed to retrieve the car at Hertz at the Cagliari Airport even though I rented from Dollar (unless I missed it in the fine print somewhere, but it wasn't obvious). Another attendant would have been helpful as it was quite a long line and I waited over 30 minutes, but I understand this may have been due to COVID regulations for staffing. The check engine "(!)" yellow light came on a few days before my return, and the roadside assistance employee told me over the phone that I should explain this to an attendant upon return. I ended up returning the car 1 day early before the scheduled time, and wanted to confirm the early return/ensure that I would be charged accordingly, as well as explain the check engine light situation, but no one was there when I returned the car and I wasn't sure which number to call since I made the reservation through Dollar but it was actually via Hertz.

I had to pay 50 euros more for picking up the car 9 minutes after the time I scheduled. That’s not a standard practice to do business with car rentals

VERY BAD - I had paid for the rental in advance. There were multiple vehicles available, however, a delay in our flight made us miss the "2-hour" window which I was unaware of. The company charged me an additional charge of over 4 X the rental cost.(€850. I can understand that if there were no vehicles available, and they had to rent it to someone else, but this was just raping me for a technicality just to get more fees. Really bad form. I have President's Circle status with Hertz and Gold with Enterprize Rental, so I am very familiar with auto rentals and have never had this happen before. Very distasteful. There were managers and supervisors in the location and they were unwilling to provide an experience and were committed to taking as many fees as technically possible from me.
