I was 45 minutes late to my booking with Sixt due to an unexpected flight delay and they made me rebook a full new rental and gave me no refund on the first one. This cost me an extra $900 the first day of my trip. I'll never use them again for this

Very friendly and helpful staff. I wish when I was booking the rental I had the option to select automatic vs. manual, that caused a hiccup during pickup but the staff was accommodating and helped get me the right vehicle.

We got a flat tire and they didn’t have a spare. It was a National holiday so we couldn’t get it repaired. This was greatly challenging. We had to buy train tickets to get to our destination.
Horrible The car was uncomfortable and then after having the car two weeks they charge me 350 American dollars for cleaning it up and then scratch that was there before charge me $800

When I got there, they charged me to add rental car collision/damage coverage, which I had already added and paid for with Kayak. The charge they added for coverage was $150, and I shouldn’t have been charged, because I already paid for coverage through Kayak. I believed there was a break down in communication between Europcar and kayak. I should have only been charged what I paid kayak up front.

The agent who we interacted upon our arrival was not helpful and was not empathetic at all. I forgot my physical cards and my husband’s credit card was acting up. We were trying to pay with cash/debit card and were told they won’t accept it and they do not allow apple pay or cash as the “whole of Switzerland” guess what? We were able to use apple pay anywhere and Sixt helped us get a vehicle without that unhelpful tone like that guy.

Location is great as always at the airport. Service agent was able to adjust my drop-off time without compensation to help me with flight changes, was very nice.
There was nothing that I like I rented a VW Polo and they have a Suzuki Space something I could barely fit 1 luggage in the trunk the transmission was total garbage the car barely made up hill in the Alps and the breaks sounded like total garbage called 3 time to have the car switched and I got as much help as asking a garden gnomes for help. 10/10 will never recommend Hertz Zurich

My experience was great. My only issue was getting the final bill a bit faster (we dropped the car off before the office was open), in fact I still haven't received it, I had to look it up myself on the Hertz website. This is a minor issue.
The lady at hertz counter made us wait for 30 mins. Last time the same insurance costed me 20 chf on the counter this time she charged 37 chf and when asked why is it more expensive than last time she said at counter is expensive. No briefing of the car type and features were mentioned. Poor service & unfriendly staff
So collection of the vehicle at Zurich, had to wait in line because only one staff member on duty. Not given paperwork on allocated vehicles condition. Informed was being upgraded to next sized car, of which I did not want as I booked an economy car to save fuel (as a result i spent more on fuel because of upgrade). Told no economy cars available!!!! Got to vehicle, which was covered in scratches, dents, marks etc (is this why I wasn't given the paperwork on condition of allocated vehicle). Informed lady in enterprise office who gave out the keys, wasn't interested in this car and told me to take photos of scratches etc and report them on the return. Told me she was too busy to look at vehicle (outstanding) During the use of this vehicle I was not impressed. Having returned vehicle at airport with full tank of fuel, and placed keys in security box, I have to this day received no confirmation from the company of the vehicles return, nothing. Not really good enough, and not what I paid for

The wait to rent the car was long. Not enough agents. The agent was excellent and very helpful.
Pick up in Kloten was quick and easy. I never like trying to be tricked into upcharging the price of my vehicle with add-ons such as extra insurance toll passes and such. These can double the price of your rental and your charge card covers you for the extra insurance. Having said that, we were charged over $550 for a scrape mark on the rear tire. Yes, a scrape mark. No damage to the rim and the tire was fine. We were only informed of this after we returned home. Unfortunately Avis, like almost all rental car companies are always out to "get you" with extra charges.
