I am absolutely appalled by the service we received from Hertz at Brisbane Airport. Our wait time was longer than our flight over from New Zealand! There was a genuine lack of care from the single staff member on duty, whose incompetence and inability to use the rental system caused a significant delay. This resulted in us missing our family dinner, and the staff member showed zero empathy towards our situation. Despite escalating the issue to Hertz on social media privately while standing in the queue one week ago, we have yet to receive any response. This level of customer service is unacceptable and disgraceful. I would strongly advise anyone considering Hertz to look elsewhere to avoid a similarly dreadful experience. Appalling!

The car was Matsuda’s CX-3 and I loved it. The key is automatically locked after leaving the car, the engine starts by only pushing the button, and it is fuel efficient. And above all, I could rent the car with no unnecessary options like insurance and road assistance, which I have never used in my life (Most shops silently add those options and it is really hard to cancel them for foreign travers who have no phone number in the country like me)
