Hertz was good, but when I booked my car through Kayak, the vehicle that was booked didn't get relayed to Hertz. This is two reservations in a row where I booked a Compact SUV and the Hertz dealer received a request for a compact car.

Hertz was good, but the car I reserved on Kayak was not the car that Kayak Booked with Hertz. Thankfully the Hertz representative fixed it.

The windscreen was unclean and therefore became very murky when It was raining or drizzling and cool as it was. That meant that I was having great difficulty reading road signs at endless roundabouts in the Havelock North/ Hastings/ Napier area. Even directing heat at the windscreen didn't work because it had this grubby film. The region was new to me so I didn't know well where I was going. Perhaps I should have had my GPS system operating but haven't had to do that before in the countryside. 2. I knew that I should fill the petrol tank prior to the dropoff but haven't yet seen a service station en route from Napier to the Airport. I'm sure that others have the same problem. 3. Signage at the Dropoff area is woefully inadequate. The whole area is really oneway driving so if one passes the entry then it's difficult to return. The signage needs to be repositioned overhead directly in front; not a small sign at the side. Remember that there are several rental companies. I'm sorry but I have to say that it's the worst rental experience I've ever had. I'll be quite pissed off if I find that the additional $200 plus charged on my Credit card unexpectedly at the Airport on pickup has been docked for the cost of an attendant having to top up the petrol tank. The attendant at the kiosk should advise customers as to the availability of service stations nearby.
