Further information by the hirer about the delivery of the car:

I book my car through First Choice and when I arrived at the airport they were no car for me. I had to take the bus to go to Corralejo. I dealt with the Corralejo office and they were very unfriendly and unwilling to help. Thet almost ask me to go and pick up the car at the airport (1 hour drive and €60 for the taxi) but I managed to get it at Corralejo instead. They said the car was going to be available at 17h30 and someone pick me up at the hotel. They made me wait in the queue and I finally got the car and went back to the hotel at 7pm. Also the child seat they provide seems to be old and not very safe (compare to the one I have) and they do not give any instruction to fit it in the car (not very safe either). I will not recommend renting a car with Hertz. A few customers at the hotel were complaining about them too. I spent some time at Orlando and the stff was friendly and professional.

The car was not explain to me and they did not memtion that they were a scratch on the door. Also, the car did not have an antenna (apparently current pratice) and was told its because of the Tourist who are stealing the antenna.
