The staff was very nice and helpful, however the location was almost impossible to find because it was a lotte rental facility not hertz. We had to ask around and had to have a local call the company to find out where the pickup was. There was no indication that it would be a Lotte pickup station and not a Hertz pickup station. Very unhappy with the lack of instruction.

The map of where the location was incorrect so went to the wrong rental company. Had to take to transfer bus to get to the right location. The counter staff member was very abrupt and did not allow rental of the vehicle without passport, even though I had an international driver permit. Did not explain any reason for this, just said you can’t drive you don’t have a passport.
