Big crowd checking in mid afternoon.Apparently several flights delayed and arrived same time. took hour and half in line to get checked in. Not helped by some customers needing detailed explanations on every upsell on the contract or lost car keys for vehicles assigned to customers! Need more counter staff but they were very courteous under difficult conditions

(Translated by Google) Everything went well. 10 people in front of us, around 15-20 minutes of waiting. More queues than with other rental companies but as we arrived with Air France and Hertz is a partner, it is understandable with other rental companies there is no 15% reduction. Car booked well in advance, automatic transmission, no worries. Welcomed pleasantly despite our random English. Possibility of returning keys in a mailbox outside opening hours. Very practical because our return flight was at 6am. However, in view of the comments, we took photos when leaving the vehicle and also when returning before putting the keys in the mailbox. (Original) Tout s’est bien passé. 10 personnes devant nous, environ 15-20 minutes d’attente. Plus de queue que chez les autres loueurs mais comme nous sommes arrivée avec Air France et que Hertz est partenaire, ça se comprends chez les autres loueurs il n’y a pas 15% de réduction. Voiture réservée longtemps à l avance, boîte automatique, pas de soucis. Accueilli agréablement malgré notre anglais aléatoire. Possibilité de rendre les clés dans une boîte aux lettres en dehors des horaires d’ouverture. Bien pratique car notre avion retour était à 6h du matin. Nous avons cependant, au vue des commentaires bien pris des photos au départ du véhicule et aussi au retour avant de déposer les clefs dans la boîte aux lettre.

(Translated by Google) The Google reviews scared me a lot but I had a pleasant surprise when I arrived yesterday. Few queues (luck probably) very pleasant advisors (mention to Casey and his colleague). He had offered to upgrade me for free but upon noticing that the car offered was a manual, Casey was able to make the change immediately. (Original) Les avis Google m'ont fait très peur mais j'ai eu la bonne surprise en arrivant hier. Peu de queue ( la chance sans doute) des conseillers très agréables ( mention a Casey et son collègue). Celui-ci avait proposé de me surclasser gratuitement mais en remarquant que la voiture proposée était une manuelle , Casey a pu effectuer le changement immédiatement.

(Translated by Google) A bit of a queue for delivery, about an hour's wait. But then the very kind Gabriel gave us a splendid Toyota Yaris hybrid, practically new and clean. Efficient car that accompanied us for 1600 km, proving reliable and economical. For the return they were quite fast, about 15 minutes and no extra surprises. Advised! (Original) Un po’ di fila alla consegna, circa un’ora di attesa. Ma poi il gentilissimo Gabriel ci ha consegnato una splendida Toyota Yaris hybrid, praticamente nuova e pulita. Auto efficiente che ci ha accompagnati per 1600 km, dimostrandosi affidabile ed economica. Per la riconsegna sono stati abbastanza veloci, circa 15 minuti e nessuna sorpresa extra. Consigliato!

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:
If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so.
Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself.
The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:
3 x weekly pump price taken from the EU Commission Energy website.
We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.
Electric vehicles:
Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee for the missing kWh. The per kWh fee changes from time to time with energy price adjustments but the current per kWh fee amount is available at the pick-up location.
Please see recharging policy
