      On 3/24/24 I rented a vehicle from ********************* Hertz and was told the cost would be $388.62.On 3/29/24, I returned the vehicle in pristine condition with the gas tank full. Upon returning the vehicle, a man met me in the parking lot and was told he would take care of the check-in process. He did not do any checks of the vehicle with me present. I received a total estimated charge of $388.62 at that time.Several days later I checked my credit card statement and was billed $788.62. I was able to print a copy of the rental agreement and saw that a $400 charge for "outside washing" was applied to my bill.I contacted Hertz on 4/10 and was told that the reason for the charge was a "smell of smoke" in the vehicle, who then sent my complaint to the manager in ******* They responded and told me the charge was from a "smell of smoke". I have since responded to them that I AM NOT A SMOKER and I want this charge removed. The vehicle did not smell like smoke when we rented it and NO ONE has smoked in it. SOMEONE is trying to get some fast cash from these unwarranted charges. I have not received a response from Hertz I have attached all copies of documents that I have. Thank you for your time

      We apologize for any frustration caused by the additional billing on your rental in ************** Hertz vehicles are serviced and cleaned before being assigned to customers.  Customers should return the vehicle in the same condition as rented.  We completely understand a customer may not wash/vacuum the vehicle prior to return to remove normal road grime, etc.  However, smoke odors/ash and other similar impurities require more time and detail to remove.  

      As stated in the Terms and Conditions, if the vehicle requires more than Hertz's standard cleaning on its return, Hertz may charge the customer for the actual costs incurred to have the vehicle cleaned.  The charges for this rental have been reviewed and are correct. Our location General Manager has confirmed at the time of return, your vehicle was returned with a strong smoke odor which required the vehicle to be held for enhanced detailing.

      I made a car rental reservation on Hertz.com, Reservation #K8043891447 and was quoted a price of $384.80 for the car rental. I was billed $845.89 for the car rental. I have tried to reach out to Hertz multiple times for resolution, they have not responded with any reasoning as to why the billed amount is different than the reservation.

      I have been renting from Dollar for the last few weeks. I pay ahead of time and have come in when the car was due. I was told that I dont need to come in and can just rent online. However, when I rent the car online, Dollar will report the car as overdue and charge me fees. I spoke to billing and theyre telling me that I have to extend the car instead of completing new reservations. This is only because they want to charge me more. Its a completely different rate for the same car when you extend rather than choose a new rental agreement and he admitted it is. I have already paid for the car for two weeks which I have receipts for and Dollar has charged my credit card for the same weeks double billing me. This is just a ploy to get more money out of people and its really sad.

      When renting and you are keeping the same vehicle you would need to extend the same contract you are on. If you are wanting to book a new reservation you will need to return the vehicle,close the contract, and open a new contract with the new reservation.

      Although i did have the vehicle in my possession for the full three days, I was over 100 miles away from the rental location, I was unable to use the vehicle during my rental time and returned the car at the original location which was also over 100 miles away. Therefore I was unable to use the car as I originally needed it for. At least i should be reimbursed for one rental day.

      Rental Record# ********* Roadside case# ********** On April 12th, front right tire lost air. Vehicle rented did not contain a spare tire, so Hertz Roadside Assistance chose to tow vehicle two hours away to *******, *******. Hertz has confirmed multiple times that the vehicle is in their possession, however has not "checked-in" the vehicle. Have had loss of use of vehicle for five days due to a simple, common issue that should have been resolvable at roadside. Further, despite rental being covered by a loss damage waiver, Hertz has yet to issue a replacement vehicle due to the car not being checked in. Finally, Hertz has contacted me to inform their plan to renew the rental agreement on the vehicle for another week at a higher rate and removing the *** on tomorrow, 4/18/2024, despite the vehicle being in Hertz possession. Have been unable to reach a human who can remediate despite dozens of phone calls.

      Complaint: 21588105

      I am rejecting this response because:

      - From ********************************************************************************************************

      "Is a loss damage waiver worth it?
      Yes, a loss damage waiver has the potential to save you both time and money if an accident were to occur during your rental.
      Without a loss damage waiver, in most states, the renter will be responsible for any loss or damage to the car, even if the damage is not your fault. If the unexpected happens, the full value of the car, towing, storage, impound expenses, loss of use and other charges may leave you out of pocket if you are not protected with a LDW."

      Hertz provided a vehicle without a spare tire, and therefore unable to be serviced at roadside.

      Hertz was unable to identify a local eligible vendor and provide payment voucher to repair tire.

      Hertz made the decision to tow the vehicle to a Hertz facility 90 miles away for service.

      Throughout incident, Hertz never represented a cost to towing, and in multiple phone calls Hertz ************* stated towing charge would be covered by LDW. To date, no invoice or receipt has been provided itemizing these towing charges.

      Hertz rented me an electric car that was "recalled" due to bad batteries. It was an 2023 EV6 which was recalled. The car broke down due to the recall problem on the roadside. We had roadside assistance added, they said they were dispatching a tow truck, it never showed up. On the side on the I-25 all night, the police eventually towed the car away. Hertz said the next day they's dispatch a tow, again, it never showed up. The following morning (day 3), I personally paid $364.88 to get the car out of impound, and filled up the electric charge at every station along the way back as the car didn't hold the charge (the recall reason), it took over 24 hours to get back 188 miles. Our roadside assistance case No. is **********, and corporate complaint case No. is ********. Hertz offered me a $25.00 credit, not a refund for the cost of the rental, or the cost to get the vehicle out of impounded, and nothing for the three nights of h*** as they left us stranded, nor will they refund electric charges required because car battery was faulty.

      Complaint: 21587576

      I am rejecting this response because the cost of the bad rental, plus towing, and impound fees I had to pay was almost $800, plus I was stranded for 3 days, and had to pay excessive charging fees due to the nature of the recall on the car HERTZ rented to me just to get it returned.  A partial refund of $226 is not al all acceptable, a full refund plus the cost of the impound and tow fee incurred from the 3rd party should all be refunded, not just $226.  The vehicle was rented to get to a specific location, that location could not be reached because the car broke down for the same reason it was recalled, fault integrated charging unit (see attached).  When HERTZ rents a vehicle that was recalled, and problems arise, the cost should be paid by HERTZ, not the consumer who rented the recalled vehicle from HERTZ.  HERTZ should be aware of what cars are recalled, and NOT rent them out; if they do and a person becomes stranded as result, the customer should be compensated.  I would like a full refund, plus the cost of the impound towing fees (the receipt of which is attached), and some consideration for 3 days of being stranded.  An actual apology for renting me a recalled car and putting me through 3 days of h*** would be nice as well.

      While we understand our previous response was not the desired outcome, we must advise that our decision and response remain unchanged. After reviewing this matter, we can confirm our branch did not knowingly rent a vehicle with an active recall. The vehicle recall was sent to dealerships on 04/29/24 which was after your rental took place, which was between 04/02/24 - 04/06/24. Please be assured we take customer safety seriously and that is why we perform a thorough 35-point inspection on our vehicles in a pre-rental state. Additionally, our Area and Maintenance Managers keep up-to-date with any recalls on our vehicle fleet. With this in mind, we show a credit of 1/2 of your rental charges was provided as a gesture of concern for the inconvenience caused. Further credits are not warranted at this time.

      Complaint: 21587576

      I am rejecting this response because company claims that in May of 2024, the recall was not underway yet, which was when the vehicle was rented.  I had already, and once again attached an article from April 22, 2024 which states "April 22, 2024  Kia *** vehicles are recalled because the integrated charging control units (ICCUs) may stop charging the 12-volt batteries and lead to stalled vehicles." [see: ************************************************************************************************] 

      The vehicle had already been recalled, Hertz either is just lying, or or not informed, either way the car they rented was in fact recalled for the exact reson it broke down, and for that reason I should not be responsible for charges related to a faulty vehicle. It in only the negligence of Hertz if they do no make themselves aware by keeping up with recalled vehicles in their fleet that they rent to people.  This rental put our lives at significant risk, that Hertz would respond as they have just goes to show the public that Hertz cres nothing for putting their clients at risk, and only about keeping ill-gotten gains.

      I rented a car through expedia, #k7632555747. Pick up Feb. 26-March 1. After the car was returned I got a notice on March 5th that there was damage. I was sent 3 poor quality pictures but am unable to determine where the damage was on the vehicle. I bought ************* through expedia. I was given a claim #********. I asked multiple times where the damage was but no one responded. I have asked for someone to call me but no calls. I contacted ************* and the gave me a claim number of UC8114658380. They were contacting Hertz to get all information necessary. Last week my claim with *** was denied because Hertz didn't send them the necessary information. So Hertz is wanting $897.16 for unknown damage when I purchased insurance for this very reason!I contacted Hertz again and said I was going to contact you if they weren't going to work with the insurance company. In turn they sent me a phone number to call to "discuss" the claim *************) and they had no idea what I was talking about! I have no idea where to turn with this!

      Just returned rental from an insurance claim. Then I find a ****** fee I was charged. I check to see a $400 outside washing charge! They gave everyone dirty cars to begin with. Refuse to send the photos from beginning of rental. I had also witnessed another customer renting a vehicle come back in to complain that the vehicle they had just given her was dirty, the gentleman just waved her away as another female employee stressed that they can't be giving out dirty vehicles. Not one of these vehicles given out are cleaned prior to rental, yet they are charging $400 for a washing!!!!!This is an unacceptable policy and a scam to rip off consumers! They are using "contracts" against consumers without holding themselves accountable for not fulfilling their part in the contract, simply because they can due to their consumers not having the means to fight back! All we can afford to do is write bad reviews.

      RR# or Res#: ********************* is in response to *******************************.

      In review of our records, the vehicle was checked with our maintenance team, and we were able to confirm the vehicle was pulled from service, detailed, and a smoking treatment done due to the smell. You were billed $400.00 cleaning fee. As stated in the Terms and conditions, if the vehicle requires more than Hertzs standard cleaning on its return, Hertz may charge the customer the actual costs incurred to have the vehicle cleaned. The charges for this rental have been reviewed and are correct.

      Thank you for contacting us.

      I rented a car from Hertz to be used during my stay in *****. Booking was for March 26-April 29.Booking #: K6113593070 I prepaid $3401.66, and another $767.29 at the time of the rental.My husband had a serious health problem soon after our arrival, and after a week, we were advised to return to the US for treatment. We changed our airplane tickets, and notified Hertz that we would be returning the car early. We returned the car on April 11. The ticket agent in ******, ******, told us that we do not qualify for a refund, (even after I showed him the emergency room paperwork from the hospital in *********) but might be able to return part of the insurance ($241.)Yesterday, from our home in ********, I called the Hertz Customer Assistance number. After a very long discussion I was told that they could return $400.This does not seem to be a fair outcome. Even the airline accepted my medical reason for returning early. I can't believe that this is Hertz policy. I paid for 36 days driving the rental car, and used only 16. Hertz owes me substantially more than $400.

      A review of our records indicates you were provided an adjusted rate based on the encompassed dates. You prepaid for 34 days but returned at 16 days. The rate provided was the best rate available based on the new rental dates. An additional adjustment is not warranted.
