The pickup point gave a Tauranga city address but there was no Hertz there. The correct pickup point was at Mount Maunganui. Staff were friendly and apologetic but I felt it to be very unprofessional to be given a wrong address. Car was also quite dirty (could hardly read the speedometer as the plastic was stained) and had many dents and scratches. Surprisingly the car didn’t have any satellite navigation which seems to be a common feature in other countries. Drop of point was also very hard to find as it stated it as Auckland Airport. I presumed it was international airport but after driving around I finally fount it at the domestic terminal. I wish this information was clearly provided when the car was picked up. I also got warning messages in the car that the car required maintenance and oil check. This should have been checked and found before we were given the car.
