Super easy pick-up. Drop-off on Sunday evening was a bit difficult as they have few parking spaces available - it was a tight squeeze to leave the car.
All went well until drop off (after hours) where they were extremely anal retentive about a minuscule scuff to the wheel insisting that it was chargeable damage, not fair wear and tear. This is despite their definition of wheel damage being a ‘gouge’. All other cars that I have hired have had some tolerance for ‘curb rash’. They attempted to charge me £440 Swiss francs for this, which is totally unreasonable. I had to return in person and after a lot of negotiation I managed to reduce the charge to 110 Swiss francs. They admitted that 110 Swiss francs was in fact the cost to replace to replace the wheel not 440 Swiss francs so this was a major overcharge. So overall it was an unnecessary stressful experience.

Lots of unmentioned costs during pick up.Some mastercards are not accepted by Hertz. Rent went from 84 euros online to 163 euros at the counter. Returned the car with full tank and 3 hours later got message from the bank that Hertz deducted 365 euros for the rent. Please explain…
