Everything was great , but i did not like the headrest position on the peugeot 308, I am 5ft 10 and it bent my neck forward, any changes in height or seat positioning made no difference. My wife at 5 ft 4 had no problem as she did not touch the headrest. So next time rental it will be another make.

Service was very friendly, location was easy to find and the car was as described. Could have been a little quicker off the mark when we came to drop it back, but they were professional throughout.

We arrived to find they had NO CARS. They just said, "Sorry, due to the bank holiday there are no cars and there's nothing we can do. We tried to contact you yesterday, but couldn't call you due to American phone number." So, I got an email reminder from Budget about the reservation, but that wasn't used to tell us of a problem. Also, if they had known for over 24 hours, why didn't they get a car from Cardiff or somewhere? It's not that far away. And why had they lent out so many cars they couldn't cover reservations? When we arrived at the office, they hadn't even bothered to call other agencies for us, so when they did there were no cars at those agencies either. They made essential no effort to fix the problem that was entirely their fault. I have never encountered anything like this in years of renting cars and am blown away by the fact that they didn't have a car for us. Why bother to reserve one? In the end, our local friends had to borrow a car from some of their friends so we could get out to western Wales and our pre-paid, non-refundable cottage. It was an inconvenience all around, and if we didn't have local contacts our holiday would have been sunk.

I was expecting a smaller car as the new Vauxhall Corsa is a bigger size but the car was great to drive.

Very nice car. Probably shouldn’t have had a station wagon for driving around Cornwall. But the car was comfortable and the extra room was great. Pick up and drop off were very timely. Which is good when hurrying to catch a flight.

Wonderful and friendly staff, Susan was especially helpful with my plans. Glad that they are in Swansea will be using them on my next trip home.

Having to pay extra if I wanted to drop the car off when closed on Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

Pickup service was excellent. Car great. Mileage very good.

Hertz rep explained that because Hertz is the only rental agency at LGW North, the airport authorities will not allow more rental return signage. Follow the specific instruction given by the Sofitel porters in the layby.

The gentleman who I gave the car to was very helpful. He helped order me a taxi after and was very nice.

There wasn't anywhere to park the car. They didn't have a parking lot or any designated places for returning cars. It was very frustrating. I didn't like that even though I prepaid for a full tank of gas, I didn't get any money back when I returned it more than half full. Felt a little cheated there.

Car was very clean and they were able to accommodate my last-minute change in pick-up date.

Their on-site office at the Holyhead ferry port, with very clearly posted opening-closing hours, apparently means nothing as they only are open when they expect a customer arriving to get a vehicle. If that is the case then that is fine, but the stated business hours they are open MUST be modified to reflect that fact. I added one day to my rental and also purchased the pre-pay fuel, so I knew my final bill would be about GBP 90 more than I was originally quoted. It has ended up being nearly GBP 200 more than originally quoted and I have no idea why. Will be contacting Hertz about this but this unexpected increase is not good.

Vehicle was as specified - not a substitute - which was important as we would not have coped with a different vehicle or smaller minivan. Most of the large Car Rental chains do not offer the larger minivans (Galaxy, Sharan, Alhambra) and visitors from USA will be surprirzed at how relatively small a UK minivan is as offer by the standard chains.

Off Airport locations means calling the hotel or Easirent as no shuttle exists. Large credit card down payments and insurance options a surprise. Deposit for potentially no returning with a full tank a surprise.
