A happy customer!
I approached Hertz car rental because it’s a known and established brand.
I was traveling with a family which included my parents. Hertz car rental
helped me by finding the perfect car suitable for my needs. I used Hertz car
to drive through Scotland highlands, across Scotland including cities of
Edinburgh and Glasgow. The result was
perfect! One thing I liked about Hertz
car rental was the seamless and smoothbooking-driving-handover process.
No wastage of time, courteous staff,
clear information and immaculate
vehicle condition. I got a clean andworry-free car. It drove like a dream!
I would recommend Hertz car rental
to people who need a self-drive.

by Sadie-Jane Nunis

Turn the everyday into the extraordinary.

SydneyI arrived early in Sydney. The Hertz
airport counter staff were so helpful
and explained about their Fuel Purchase
clearly so that I knew what the Option
rates available and the like were.
After settling the paperwork, I picked up
my Audi Q5 and was taught how to use
the navigation system by the friendly PERTH
staff at the pickup point. Signage at the
airport was clear too making it so very
easy to find the Hertz cars.
The return was easy peasy too.
I dropped off the car, cleared thechecks, dealt with the paperwork,and I was home free.
I enjoyed my sense of freedom.
I managed to drive around Sydney
and even Wollongong quite easily
as I tapped on the Audi Q5
navigation system.
There are places I can explore without
having to worry about taxi fares burninga hole in my pocket.

I love the freedom and flexibility
that comes wit h a car rental

I decided to try something different
and took the train from Sydney. Upon
arriving at the station, I took a cab
to downtown Hertz.

After my stay, I had to return the
car at the airport which was a pieceof cake. I parked, they gave me areceipt, and a little while later, I
received the E-receipt via E-mail.

This part of the trip was more for leisurecompared to Sydney which was mostly
work. I was happy to have wheels to drive
all over Melbourne, including returning
to where I lived and where I hung out
when I first arrived as a student about 10
years ago. Hertz helped me to reminisce
good times. I enjoyed driving around St
Kilda and heading to Crowne too. I could
also venture into Yarra Valley
for a beautiful brunchwith a view as well as
meet my old university
friends at Lygon for a meallater. Driving in Melbourne
was relatively easy, justremember to watch out for

is big and bustling, and so is the harbour
where there are many boat excursions.

Adrive in Britain can be amemorable experience as you
can drive through the villages,
around estates, past farms and terraces,
take the main highways and roads in
Scotland, Wales and the wondrous
climes of the Lake District.
This is a circular route from the cityof Exeter (about 3 hours drive from
London), covering the English counties
of Devon and Cornwall. It is a journeythat presents the contrasts of England’s
Atlantic rugged windswept coast (driving
the North Atlantic Highway A39) tothe calmer Channel coast showcasing
Cornwall’s beautiful gardens and thevast barren moors of Devon.

Exeter - Woolacombe Ilfracombe
From Exeter, drive North-West
towards the North Devon coastal townof Woolacombe (driving time 1 hour
45 minutes). The town is famous for
the Woolacombe bay renowned as asurfer’s paradise. The view on to thebay as the car descends in towards
the town is especially beautiful.
From Woolacombe, drive for 15 minutes
to Ilfracombe. It is a pleasant seaside townwith a promenade lined with shops andrestaurants, gardens and great views fromthe seaside Capstone Hill. It is laced withhistory as represented in its grand Victorianbuildings and the old working harbour.

Ilfracombe - Exmoor Barnstaple - Bude
From Ilfracombe, veer towards theEast to Exmoor before continuing
the South-Westerly journey along theAtlantic coast. Exmoor National Park
contains a unique variety of landscapeof moorland, woodland, valleys andfarmland. The National Park's main
town and service centre is Lynton (drive
time from Ilfracombe: 35 min.) whichhas plenty of car parking. From here it’s

to Lynmouth, which is one of the mostpopular destinations in the National Park.
From Exmoor, drive towards Barnstaple(drive time from Lynton: 40 min.), whichis the oldest borough in the country andis the commercial and agricultural centreof North Devon. Stop to browse throughthe historic Pannier Market which offers
fresh local produce, handmade artsand crafts and a range of antiques andcollectables.

as Kilkhampton with its large church
and castle, and the pretty hamlet of
Launcells, both of which can be worth
exploring. If you prefer cliffs, you could
make a stop instead at the cliffclinging
village of Clovelly, around two athirds ofthe way from Barnstaple to Bude. The
unique point of the village is that the cars
get parked outside, and donkeys andsledges are the only form of transport
along its cobbled ways.

From Newquay, cut away South-Eastfrom the rugged Atlantic coast towards
the more sheltered coves of the channel
coast. The first stop is the Lost Gardensof Heligan (driving time from Newquay:
45 min.) located just inland off the coastal
villages of Pentewan and Mevagissey.
Cornwall has some of the best gardens
in the UK and the one at Heligan is oneof the best. In 2008 The Lost Gardens ofHeligan was granted National Collection
Holder status by Plant Heritage for its
historic and unique collection.

Bude - Boscastle Tintangel - Padstow Newquay
Just south of Bude lies the renowned
and attractive National Trust villageof Boscastle with its spectacular cliffhung harbour entrance. Its Museum ofWitchcraft is a very popular attraction
and well worth a visit. Boscastle is theideal place to have a leisurely morning
stroll down to the harbour and quay area
admiring the village’s unique rugged
atmosphere. Another 10 min. drive
down the road is the village of Tintangel,
famous for its castle ruins and dramatic
sea views. The Tintangel Old Post Office

village of Polkerris by the sea, and tothe charming village of Tywardreath.
The trail is clearly marked, and cantake up to three hours, especially if you
take a few breaks to enjoy the view.

in Mediterranean and other world styles.
Look out for the view over the entire
