      I rented a vehicle from the Hertz Office in **********, ******************** from ***, 4/15/24 until Wed, 4/17/24, rental record number LL71212083. On Thu, 4/18/24, I received a call from ************************* from ******, his email is ************************ and phone number is ************. ***** informed me that there was hail damage to the truck. I called ***** back on Fri, 4/19/24, when I received the message, and told him that there was no damage to the car, that there was no hail damage and the weather reports indicated this. ***** said he was still investigating the issue and sent me an email stating that I should send a check of $1,466.59 to their company for the damage. Also, when I rented on 04/15/24, the Hertz associate told me and my husband that we did not need to check it for damage because the vehicle was brand new. We refused to sign that the vehicle was damage-free without inspecting it first, and the associate allowed us to do so. We thought this was very suspicious and now we are hit with a random claim from ******.without Hertz informing us first that there was something wrong with the vehicle. When I called Hertz's main customer service number *************) today, the **** ****** stated that they could not pull up the claim and that the ***************** was a franchise location. I did not know this upon booking. The rep stated I should call the ***************** directly, and I called the office *************) and spoke to ****. **** would not provide his last name but said he did not have any information on the claim and that it had already been sent over to ******. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and **** reluctantly provided the name of his manager, *******************. *** called me later on 4/22/24 and stated that there was hail damage to the car, he was not going to go back and forth with me and then hung up the phone. I want my rental payment reimbursed and do not want to be charged for this claim.

Please be informed that we are not required to rent vehicles at a 100% level of fuel,however, we do realize it is in the best interest of customer service to do so and attempt to always provide our vehicles on a full tank.

      Formal Complaint Regarding Incorrect Charges and Lack of Resolution - Record Rental #********* I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and frustration with the handling of my recent reservation with Hertz, specifically regarding an incorrect charge that has been applied to my account.On 3/27/24, I made a reservation with Hertz under reservation number K8100413321, with a total charge of $339.61. However, upon arrival for pickup, there was an issue with the credit card on file, which necessitated a change via customer service. Subsequently, a new reservation was created at the time of checkout, rental record #*********, which was charged at $766.40 on my Alask via ending in 1972.I was informed that approval for a rate adjustment must come from the executive team. Despite my repeated attempts to get in touch with this team, I have been unsuccessful in reaching anyone who could assist me in resolving this matter.Furthermore, I was assured by your representatives that the rate would be adjusted back to the original amount of $339.61, as verbally agreed upon. However, instead of rectifying the situation, I have been refunded the original amount and charged the incorrect amount of $766.40. This discrepancy is unacceptable and has caused significant inconvenience and financial strain.I want to emphasize that I am fully prepared to seek legal guidance to address these incorrect charges if this matter is not resolved promptly and to my satisfaction.Therefore, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to rectify this situation. I expect a prompt response and a resolution to this matter within 5 business days. Please ensure that the correct rate of $339.61 is applied to my account as originally agreed upon and I am refunded the difference of $426.79 to my **** ending in 1972.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to resolve this issue expediently.

      This is in response to ***********************.

      I regret the confusion surrounding this matter, after review of our records I am showing reservation K8184289432 was not honored, due to a discrepancy with the credit card on file.

      Hertz continually strives to remain competitive with our rates we offer. Our rates are based on availability of a booked reservation. Our rates are subject to change based on availability of a rental and other governing factors. Hertz continually reviews our rates to remain competitive.  The rates; therefore, are subject to change without notice. A reservation guarantees our published rates for 240/365 days at our corporate locations. This process is not a legally binding contract.

      If the original rate a customer finds is not honored for any reason, we cannot apply that rate on a separate rental agreement, as it is no longer in our system, and we must honor the current rate. Please be assured the most economical rate available at the time of booking rental agreement ********* was applied. Per the attached signed rental agreement for rental agreement *********, this is a legal binding contract, and the charges billed are valid, and no further refund is warranted. While I understand this is not the desired outcome we stand by our decision and consider this matter fully addressed. 

      Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to address your concerns.

      Dear BBB, In March I rented a car from Hertz **************, upon the completion of the rental, I had wanted to use a voucher, and therefore informed the agent when returning the car where I was sent to the main counter to check on the voucher. However, the office was not able to use the voucher because I was informed that the contract was closed. I therefore left to continue to check-in for my flight. However later on, I did receive an email with the final bill for my rental and I noticed that I was charged an extra day because my contract was only closed out later at around ***** (5.55 pm) when I had returned the car around 4pm. I had contacted customer service to solve this and from their initial discussion, they requested for my boarding pass as evidence that I could not have returned the card as the stipulated time on the rental closure document. However, to my surprise when I did not hear anything back, I emailed them for follow up and I received a response that they have concluded that the amount charged is correct. Hertz customer service is not willing to move from their stand point which I find totally unacceptable when it is clear that this particular rental station is at fault (after also a lot of other issues during the rental, for instance giving me a car and contract that belongs to another driver on the 1st day). I would therefore like to launch an investigation into this and have Hertz refund me the difference in charges. As a Hertz President ****** elite member, I am appalled by the behavior and response so far. Thank you.

      Im sorry to hear you have found our previous response unsatisfactory. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. As stated previously, we have reviewed the charges,and we deem them valid. You were quoted $30.70 per day plus the mandatory taxes, fees, and surcharges, resulting in the final charge of $124.85. No monetary adjustments are needed for this rental. I understand this is not the outcome you were wanting or desiring but please know that we do stand firm on this decision.

      I am rejecting this response because: I am sorry but I do not understand how the calculation based on what you mentioned comes up to final amount as I did not return the car later then the grace ****** nor returned the car with the need to refuel (it was returned full).  I have attached with this message the original estimated charges which clearly shows that the final charge should have been approximately $86 instead of the charged $120+.

      The only possibility for the $120+ is that I was charged for an extra day of rental which I have indicated multiple times impossible as indicated in the final bill as I was already boarding my flight. (which I have provided the boarding pass as evidence).

      We apologize for any frustration caused to you by the additional day billing and the difficulties with applying your voucher.

We are pleased to see our **************** team was able to provide assistance in this matter.

      I am rejecting this response because: Yes, I do agree that they have agreed to refund me the additional day.  However I am still rejecting this because for that miserable $30+ owed to me, me as a President ****** member needed to fight and go in rounds, wasting my time when it's clearly the business trying to further take advantage of their size to me, a lone consumer.  I do therefore do want to request above the refunded value, also additional compensation for all the time wasted and back and forth for the last 2 months!. 

      As for the voucher, it was issued by Hertz Europe which seems to be issuing vouchers that do not contain these PC number which therefore makes the whole situation confusing.  It is strange that the voucher is issued in USD, but when trying to use it in **, agents are not able to work with it.

      I returned a rental to Hertz at 6:04pm last night (4/19/2024). I tried calling while I was stuck in traffic (6 calls over 30 minutes with no answer). I was shown the after hours drop box by a **** Dealership employee, where I dropped the key and then proceeded to take pictures of the vehicle, where it was parked, the fuel gauge (I returned it with a full tank, despite it being picked up uncleaned, and not full). I have pictures and video to support the cleanliness of the car and the not full tank of gas when picked up and same for when dropped off. I called the location this morning to get them to close out my rental, and received no answer. (I called 12 times over a 30 minute period during their normal business hours). I am still being charged, which I confirmed through the corporate office, for a rental that I don't have any longer and I want to get those additional charges reversed, as well as the hold on my card. I want an answer and some actual customer service.

      This is in response to ***************************.

      Thank you for contacting us regarding this matter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Upon further investigation into this matter, I do see you have already been contacted by our customer service team about this issue. As stated in that response certain Hertz locations do not have on-site facilities to refuel their vehicles. Thus, vehicles rented from these locations may not have a full tank of fuel at the beginning of the rental. When this happens, the customer may return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as when it was received. With this in mind, we do consider these charges valid.

      However, if you can provide date and time stamped proof of refueling the vehicle, monetary adjustment may be considered. I appreciate the opportunity to assist in this matter.

      Online I thought I rented a car for March18-24, after paying the $500 online I have emails confirming my rental and receipts saying I "paid in full, skip the counter" however I had to go to the counter, then was told I need to have my credit run and pay more. I didn't pass the credit (I know I have no established credit) and was told i couldn't rent the car with them and that the initial "$500 deposit" would be refunded within a couple days. I was stranded out-of-state without a car rental but I was able to get a friend to drive 5 hours to get me. However, on my return home I found that I had the charge still on my account. When I called to inquire about it, they said "well you got your rental" and proceeded to tell me my rental "deposit" ("paid in full" on my receipt) went towards someone else's rental at the counter after me. I was told they were going to investigate why the employee would have used my credit card for somebody else's rental and I would get a call back by Monday (1 week later). Well 2 weeks later, I called them with my case number and they said it's still ongoing and that's why they didn't call me and the only way I'm ever going to get my money it was as if I just "call a police." My bank has already told me they can't issue it as fraud because it shows up as I rented a vehicle. To clarify they told me the woman at the counter who denied me my rental, put my payment towards the rental of some other person after telling me us receive my refund within a few days. Now ***** outright refuses to refund me and tell me my only option is the POLICE?!WHY WOULD MY LOCAL POLICE HANDLE HERTZ RENTAL COUNTER IN ****?!

      This is in response to ******* Farewell.

      I regret the confusion regarding the charges billed on this rental. After a thorough investigation I was able to confirm that you were denied the rental due to your credit report, according to the surveillance the Primary Renter was with you and approved for this rental on your behalf. Based on the facts pertaining to this matter the charges billed are valid, and no adjustment is warranted.

      Thank you for allowing us to address your concerns.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      1, I was told I would get a refund in 30 days if you can listen to that.

      2, I have the emails and receipts that I was paid in full and nothing was due at pick up.

      In the end, I did not get the refund I was told I would receive and did NOT get a rental!


      Sincerely,

      While we understand our previous response was not the desired outcome, we must advise that our decision and response remain unchanged. The charges have been thoroughly reviewed and are valid. When denied for the rental, we show your reservation was transferred into your travel partners name. Optional services were added at the rental counter in addition to the renter charges. We hope you will respect our position on this matter as we consider it having been fully addressed and this matter closed. Further requests to revisit this matter will not be considered.

      I made a simple agreement to rent an ev for $298.86 per week. Hertz charged my bank $320-$322 per week. I return car clean with 80% battery. Hertz paperwork say plz dont charge more than 80%. I get charge even more after return!! Why? $378.27 and then one more charge $58. I know I have some tolls. But not even one of these charges are explained in receipt! Hertz smart company stealing small money every week. Very sneaky.

      I have attached the uber marketplace email that was sent when I checked out with the vehicle. The rate is 298. Uber marketplace added taxes. You changed the price. I can forward this email to the supervisor. Please close your partnership with uber. You two are playing games with us.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      1.) My email clearly shows that HERTZ partnered with UBER MARKETPLACE. The email shows 272$ before taxes. At the bottom of the email there is a charge for 298$ with taxes. Anyone with a kindergarten reading comprehension, understands what an invoice looks like. 

      2.) Did you mis communicate with your partner? The bills I was paying weekly I did that because I am homeless. But deep down I felt like you were taking advantage of uber marketplace clients. 

      3.) NO ONE TOLD ME I HAVE NO TOLL PROTECTION- You made me cry today because I spoke to herz 10 times. Every few days I get a toll and a fee that's more than the toll. 

      I drove for uber to get myself off the streets. I just needed you to be honest and caring. I spoke to platepass, they took off SOME fees. I have no idea how many more are going to come in, I drove a lot of miles and many many tolls. All that work and here I am loosing the little money I earned. I drive for a s***** 20$ per hour with lower back pain. My rent is 1050, food is 600. I cant drive full time because of how bad the pain gets. 

      Your company could do a standard on boarding of uber clients with a full instructional tutorial. If you are going to be saying "its in the terms and conditions" just know that is why your clients cry at home when looking at their sad bank account.

      On 3/17/24 I rented a camero convertible from MIA *********************** RR103376700.Zero staff to assist in the garage to show how to operate car, including top down. After 20min, my sister found an employee who told us there is a safety shield that has to be up in trunk to put down top. he unpacked and repacked trunk and we put top down and back up before leaving.we had 4 hour drive to KW and didn't want top down yet.An hr outside of KeyWest, we attempted putting top down, and the car said manual only. after looking in trunk, we saw that the convertible mechanism had eaten my coat (no protected barrier between luggage and mechanism)(they repacked truck). now no coat and no top down.we were so disappointed as it's my daughters senior trip with family, and her first drive through the keys of *******. I called Hertz for 2 days, there are no phones at airport Hertz to be answered. After 2 days, I somehow got a live person, and wasn't disconnected and they told me to return my car to the KeyWest Hertz counter at the airport. I took time from our trip and activities to drive to airport, and customer service was so kind.They offered 2 cars, both not clean yet, but I didn't want to wait. I selected a small SUVChevy, and asked how I get reimbursed for the difference in the car, and how I get reimbursed my coat cost.They said to call the main number after I returned home. I made zero progress, so I emailed the customer department, and they said they denied my claim due to not calling roadside number. That isn't what I was advised to do, nor was the car broken down.total estimated charge ******, but I want the difference given on the days I drove a ***** crossover. Daily difference on rental price is roughly $50/day, and records show me changing cars in KeyWest. And, I am seeking $100 for my coat.

This is such poor customer service. We have used them for years, and this is quite a disappointmen
