Are we had a bad experience with Hertz Rent-A-Car in Lima Peru they did not want to refund the 2 days that we have turned the car in early. We had the car a total of 10 days . We had a family emergency so we had to leave. I will have to find a car rental company that can understand when a family emergency happens.

The staff was extremely friendly and thorough.

I understand the road restrictions with the odd/even numbered plates. We were told that we would have an odd numbered plate, which worked well for us because of the driving we needed to do on a particular day. However, they gave us an even numbered plate, which really messed up our day.

Friendly and honest staff

I had serious difficulty finding the location to drop off the car. In fact, it was closed although Alamo claims to be opened 24 hours. I managed to leave the car at the designated place and have the clerk at the desk arrange for the checkup. I did make my flight, but it was a stressful experience. The staff was really friendly.

They told me that the price you gave me only included the rent of the car, but not the insurance of the car.

The staff was friendly and courteous. The car performed well with no problems.

Pick up took an Hour! Although this was due to their not being able to process American Express that day - not really their fault - it was their banks's. At least the representative provided options. The car was advertised on kayak as a manual transmission but I received an automatic ... which was a little disappointing as a was looking forward to driving a stick shift ... but probably it was more practical in the end. If you are thinking of driving in Lima ... the guidebooks are Right! DON'T DO IT! Craziest drivers Ever!... at least get the insurance. Thankfully nothing happened to us.

The car was in almost perfect condition. With one small downside.

We've booked the cheapest car but for it you should leave 5000$ frozen if you're not 26. We did not find that info on the web site. So we end up on more expensive rental. The car that we rented was very sensitive to noise. If the noise was really loud the alarm enabled. Otherwise car was perfect.

Rental price was only a 'base price' in which local taxes were added. In addition the car reserved was not available (they overbooked) and the upgrade to another car was not free. In the end more than double the price of the original rental agreement was demanded and the staff at the airport were not helpful or accommodating, borderline rude.

This was the worst car rental experience I have ever had and would never rent from Dollar or Hertz (their counter administrator) in Lima airport. They did not have our reserved car available when we got there in the evening. Their staff, (she told us her name was "Elizabeth"), refused to upgrade us to the next larger available vehicle as would normally be the practice; instead they gave us a smaller car, and charged us the same rate as for our larger reserved car, claiming that the rate for the smaller vehicle had gone up since we had made our original reservation! Then, they doubled the price of the rental by insisting that our U.S. auto insurance coverage would not be acceptable unless we allowed them to reserve an $8000 line on our credit card. If we paid them for a lower but still not complete level of coverage through Dollar, they would reserve a $1000 line on our credit card. That way if there was any damage to the vehicle, they would take it directly from us and we would have to deal with our insurance company to get reimbursed when we returned to the U.S. The only way to avoid using up credit on our own card was to pay them for separate coverage at the counter. This doubled our rental cost. The rental car agent at the counter next to Hertz/Dollar told us that what Hertz/Dollar was doing to us was illegal. We were stuck and paid for the insurance add-on. Avoid Hertz/Dollar at all costs in Lima!
