Used the vehicle to cross from Akaroa, Christchurch to Hokitika via the Lewis Pass - with a couple of overnight stops on the way. Car was excellent - cruise control is great on the long stretches of straight road. Vehicle comfortable to sit and good to drive. We took the full tank of petrol option at $2.59 per litre and it was a great idea. Benefit all round. Possibly not the cheapest option but certainly the best for a great and safe trip.
Staff were great. Sadly we chose a vehicle that wasn't really suited to our needs. Our mistake, not Hertz.

The car smelled like vomit when we picked it up which was concerning, we didn’t have any other options and had to get moving though. The more the sun hit the car the worse the smell got which made the trip difficult
