Quick pick up, and painless drop off
Pros: Friendly pick up
Changed to a similar car that was a little bigger
Drop off was the easiest I have ever had
Pros: Very clean car's
Terrible
Pros: When i got there I was told they canceled my booking but couldn’t give me a reason why.
Cons: Read above
30mins and 3phone calls waiting to pick up booked vehicle.
Pros: Received standard upgrade as only a handful of cars in lot.
Cons: Waited after a long haul flight to pick up a vehicle that had been booked. Called multiple numbers on the service desk who tried to track down the service rep. Dude rolled in smelling like cigarettes like he had just arrived from a big night out (it was 12pm on a Sunday). Meanwhile all other rental service desks are open and professional watching us. Vehicle still had empty bottles in it from the last customer.

Pros: Staff were friendly but had a wait at collection. excellent drop off but a bit challenging to locate the rental car rental entrance. Fantastic car Hyundai i30 navigation included. Guaranteed model selection is a good idea.
Cons: I liked the onsite Hertz collection as the other off site car rental depots close after business hours and you need to get a cab to take you to and from the airport to their off site depot
Pros: Airport Staff at pick-up was amazing. The woman was very busy and remained helpful and kind even with a long line waiting on her. Very impressive.
Cons: Windshield inside and out was dirt. Inside windshield was VERY dirty and hard to see through.
Pros: easy booking. Full insurance cover at reasonable price.
Good car. Easy pick up / drop off
Great customer service.
Pros: We were given a free upgrade to an SUV.
Cons: Nothing!
Book Direct
Pros: I love to the car I got. It was perfect for my needs and served me well during a 3 Week Rd. trip in Western Australia.
Hertz did right by me.
Cons: there was some small damage to the car, and because my insurance is through a third-party, now I have a hassle on my hands.
I think it's worth it to book directly considering how much the coverage costs and is at this point totally wasted money.
If the third-party insurance actually comes through and pays for what they should pay for, I will feel differently. But for now I wish that I just booked directly through Hertz.
Great car and rental with Hertz went like a dream
Pros: This fuel-economical all-wheel-drive was great for our 3 week hire in Western Australia. We drove 3,500 km, and it was a nice ride the whole time.

Pros: Great price, easy to deal with, we would book with Alpha again and will be recommending them to family and friends. They are a shuttle bus ride from the airport.
Faultless service
Pros: Very competitive price, quick pick-up, even quicker drop-off. If only every hire was priced and as easy as with these guys.

As parking can difficult in Perth, opting for a compact car is advisable. Choosing a 4-wheel-drive car can also bear advantages when planning trips out of the city. As drivers sit on the right-hand side, the gear shift has to be used with the left hand, so drivers who are not used to that should go for an automatic car.
Speed limits in Australia are given in kilometers per hour. Unless posted otherwise, regulations are 40 km/h (24 mph) in school zones, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, 70-80 km/h (43-49 mph) in two-lane country roads, and 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph) on freeways and bush roads. Note that posted signs are on the left side of the road rather than the right.
Petrol prices in Perth vary and are usually more expensive on weekends and public holidays. The average price is around AUD$1.50 per liter ($1.09 per ¼ gallon, or $4.36 per gallon). The metro area in Perth usually features the cheapest petrol stations, with prices increasing further out of the city. Also bear in mind that petrol stations become less frequent once out on the rural roads, so refueling beforehand is important.
Street parking in Perth can be tricky and on the expensive side, so, if possible, opt for accommodation with a parking space included. Metered on-street parking is an option, but keep coins ready as many meter machines to not take credit cards and don’t even give change. Additionally, street parking is usually restricted to a maximum of two hours. Parking lots (called “car parks” in Australia) and garages are an alternative where cars can be parked longer, but they are usually quite expensive (up to AUD$5 per hour, which is about $3.60).
