Hertz Rent A Car

We booked our car via Orbitz and chose the insurance through them (it’s always far cheaper than what the rental companies have.) The agent at Hertz refused to let us off the lot without purchasing theirs! By time we were done with our long international flights, we just wanted to get out. So we went ahead and took it.
To top it off, the rental fee was actually about 3x as much as quoted on the Orbitz website by time we were done. Total rip off.

Three times.
That’s the number of times I’ve rented at this location.
TWICE
THAT’S THE NUMBER OF TIMES I’VE BEEN MESSED AROUND AND SCAMMED!!!
Buyer beware… don’t sign the slip before checking that the cheeky scumbag behind the desk hasn’t signed you up for their «SUPER COVER»… that’s how they got me in terminal two here recently, completely WITHOUT DISCUSSING what it was and why they thought I should have it!
The first time it went wrong I was instructed to leave my keys and receipt in a jar of sorts at their terminal one office, as there was a huge queue and only one person manning the desk… As a result my car wasn’t checked back in until the following morning and they charged me for an extra day.
We’ve all heard car hire horror stories, frankly the only way to avoid them seems to be to bend the ear off the staff confirming exactly what you’re signing up for and insisting that the car is checked with you present on return. I am thankful to have never had any mysterious damage crop up after I drop the car off, but I think for future travel plans I’ll stick to public transport until there is decent regulation for this diseased industry.
