The car was clean but there were no mats in the car and the windshield inside was very dirty. It was hard to see at night time or raining.

Really easy process from pick up to drop off. Only thing that was a bit of a surprise and that may be in the details was the excess amount in case of an accident. The excess was >$5,000. Quite a shock, but we had no issues and so did not have any concerns.

The vehicle was displaying a “need oil change” warning light plus a “key battery needs replacement” warning sign. When I told the staff, they told me it had been reported to Ford n not to worry! As I was going to a funeral an hour north of Canberra, I was short on time so took the vehicle. On my return I once again reported the warning lights n got the same reply as the morning! Doesn’t envoke much confidence in servicing of the Eurocar servicing.

I rang to confirm car as I wanted a particular car and was told definitely getting what I reserved, when I went to pick up there was a different car, but when I told them about the annoyance they brought the car from another location for me I just had to wait 15 - 20 mins which was fantastic I just wished they had done that in the beginning and then I wouldn’t of had to wait. But car was amazing and I still wish I never had to return it. I am still in mourning 🙇🏽‍♀️Lol

We chose to pick up and drop off the vehicle at Canberra airport. This was not done. We had the inconvenience of getting to and from Mitchell to pick up/drop off the car. None of the cars operating procedures were explained to us by Hertz staff. The car itself was good and economical to drive, but were not particularly impressed with the Hertz’s staff.
