We rented two cars, and the staff were nice, even willing to wait despite our delayed pickup. One of the cars had several small scratches, but it didn’t matter since we purchased full insurance. However, for those without full insurance, be sure to point out any issues in advance. We confirmed via email beforehand that the additional driver fee was 1,495 pesos and could only be added at the store. But upon arrival, it turned out to be 20,000 pesos per person. The staff explained that adding at the store had a different price. If that's the case, why not provide a way to add it in advance? The inconsistency is frustrating.

Tried to scam us by saying they could not put a hold for damages ($6000)on the credit card. We called our bank on the spot and they said no one had tried to even attempt a hold. Europcar said we could either pay for daily insurance (more than the cost of the entire rental) or could not have the car. we ended up charging the $6000 to the credit card instead of placing a hold. They said they would refund it but couldn’t tell us when. The guys working the counter wouldn’t let other customers go in front of us while we were on hold with the back. I assume this tactic is used to make people uncomfortable and give in and pay the daily insurance. but as soon as the bank answered the guys working wanted us to step aside so they could help other customers. At check out they tried to tell us that we used the spare tire and put a flat tire in its place in the trunk which is 100% false.

We have to wait for more than 30 minutes for the Europcar guy who came to the office 35 minutes late (evidently hungover) without any excuse (we have car drop-off at 8:00 and the office should by open from 8:00). It was impossible to reach him and even using the “emergency number” of the Europcar we were give (I’m just wondering what you would do if something happens).

The staff was very friendly and patient. However, I booked the car for airport pickup and drop-off on the app, but the paperwork at the store indicated it was a car dispatched from the city center, requiring an additional $50 service fee. After contacting QEEQ customer service, they said they would verify the charge. I didn't have time to wait, so I paid the fee and drove off. QEEQ customer service continued to follow up, and a few days later, I received an email stating the fee should not have been charged and that they would coordinate with the rental company for a refund. It has been over ten days now, and I'm still waiting for the refund. The actual process of picking up and dropping off the car was very convenient and quick.

There was a queue for car pick-up, about 20 minutes; compared to other rental companies, the queue was quite long, which also speaks to the reputation and strength of Hertz. The staff were patient and attentive. My English is not very good, but she was able to slowly repeat the key points, write them down as she spoke, and didn't try to upsell any additional insurance. I was very satisfied. The pick-up process was straightforward and smooth. The drop-off process was even simpler, just handing over the keys at the parking lot. The staff asked if everything was fine and I replied that it was great with no issues. The drop-off process took only two minutes. Wonderful!

Couldn't use Visa when picking up the car. A foreigner had the same issue and got so mad that they threw things. You can use cards to buy things at the airport, but not at the rental company. I contacted my credit card company, and there was no issue with my card. I asked Herz what to do, and their answer was that they didn't know. After more than an hour of delay and after repeatedly insisting, they tried again, and it finally worked. When returning the car, I noticed the rental company had a new card machine, but they refused to admit their old machine had issues!

The car was in great condition, but there was no gas station at El Calafate International Airport where I needed to return the car. However, this is not the rental company's fault.
