      Rented a car through Uber in which they charged me $608 for a week for a ***** bolt ev no charging stations near that takes less than 8 hrs to charge. Came back to close and exchange my vehicle for another one because its not beneficial staff told me I could not exchange and then proceeded to I couldnt end my contract. My turn in time was for 11:30 I remained at hertz for 4 hours sitting around waiting and the rep just sat behind the desk signing people in but doing absolutely nothing I would prefer my money back from this ridiculous joke of a rental service. I never seen it take them an entire hour to complete a service like they were stalling for something. When I asked if they had no vehicles they said no theyre going to get some. I want my money back for wasting my time

      I was over charged for my rental from Hertz I am made my reservations over line on XPDF I paid for my rental online. Then when I went into the store, they charge me a higher rate than what I was supposed to be charge for. They also charge me for an extra day for the rental and my rental rental date was April 8 I left out at 11 AM on the contract it says return the car at 12 PM and I did that on 18 April I was charged ***** instead of charging me the rate of $52 like the manager said he would honor the rate I was quoted online the mangers name is ****** of the ********** East liberty location they charge me $33 for an extra hour and they charge me $108 for an extra day when I went into the business to complete my reservation. I told the guy at the desk that I was a AAA member he said he would apply it to my reservation after receiving the bill they deduct it $1080 out my bank account. They charge me 500 for the rental 500 for a security deposit, they had hidden fees for the Tesla rental that was not disclosed to me. I had a conversation with the manager ****** of East liberty regarding the billing errors. He told me to contact. The billing department and I did they told me they couldnt adjust the bill. The manager would have to notate the account regarding any bill correction, they are just giving me back and forth run around and I would like my 275 back

      got my Uber car at the Hertz Live Oak location in ***********.I no longer have a car which means Im not able to do Uber. Monday the 17th, I had to drive to *********** from ****** to renew my rental contract. When I get there, ** told by ***** that I cannot extend my rental until I pay $676 instead of $476 because the initial $200 deposit wont roll over into the new contract. This should have been communicated ahead of time. I was not expecting the extra expense. When I return, ***** tells me she still cant renew the contract because I need to get the maintenance done. Why didnt she communicate this to me earlier? I take the car to Big O tires. They dont work on the car until 3pm Im told that Ive been driving on two bad rear tires. So Im upset knowing that Hertz rented me a car with two bad tires that were unsafe to drive on.I get back to Hertz around 3:30 pm so I can get the contract renewed. Now I was told that I cant get the contract renewed because I owe $3929.59! I dont know where this other money is coming from. Theyre saying that they were holding the money and not taking money from me. This is incorrect according to my bank account. So that means someone at their company has been stealing the money! Another women comes out and tells me that they wont renew my contract until I pay the $651 Supercharge/tolls fees.This frustrates me more because none of this was told to me when I arrived that morning! Also, when I first got the car back in February, I was told that I dont have to pay these particular fees until I return the car. So at this point, I believe that I am purposely being discriminated against. I did not see any other black women come in that office while I was there. I was there from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon. I felt like they were harassing me and discriminating against me.

      Thank you for contacting us. Please accept my sincere apology for any misunderstanding regarding your rental. Please be advised an authorization hold is placed on your credit card at the inception of your as well as each time you extend your rental. Hertz puts a hold on your account, however depending on your financial institution the funds may or may not be available to you. Upon your return of the vehicle we submit payment for the full rental charges. Your rental total upon return was $3,929.59, however Hertz was only able to collect $3,770.85 from your credit card, therefore there is an outstanding balance of $158.74.

      In regards to the tires please be advised there were ***** miles put on the vehicle while you were on rent. The vehicle was not rented to you with any tire issue. Therefore, it is possible this was wear and tear during the rental.

      The location has provided the following statement in regards to your return. When she returned at 3:30pm, we tried to get her situated, but because she had to pay the $600.19 Tesla rebill for the time she was in the vehicle, she would not have enough to rewrite the contract. Ultimately we had to pull her from the vehicle as she would not be able to open a new contract. She went outside to clean out her car of personal effects. Due to our office hours we close the office at 4pm, I went outside to check on her to see if she needed any help since she had not come back with the key.  I apologized again to her for the inconvenience and said I didn't want her to think we just closed up and left her. I asked if she had place the key in the drop box so I could move the vehicle to which she informed me she just left it in the vehicle. I did thank her and wished her a great day when I walked off to get the key.

      Based on our investigation we have determined there is no refund warranted.

      On 2/13/23 I rented a car from Hertz in ******************, **. I used this car for less than six hours while my personal car was being repaired. I only drove on local streets, no highways or toll roads. I returned the car before the hertz location closed on 2/13/23. I was charged $59.96 for tolls that occurred after 2/14/23 on roads that I did not drive on. Hertz clams that I had the rental car for over a week, and states that they have no records of me returning the car. I went in person to the St. ******* location and I was told to leave and that "they can't help me there."

      Thank you for contacting us. Please accept my sincere apology for any misunderstanding regarding your rental. I have confirmed with the rental location that the vehicle was indeed returned on 02/13/23.  I have also provided this information to our toll processor. Because you did a chargeback with your financial institution for the $59.96 there isn't a refund to be processed. However, they will update their records to ensure there are no toll charges assessed that occurred after your return date of 02/13/23.

      Please know that we take all customer concerns very seriously and I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review this matter.

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

      I regret the confusion regarding this matter; however,our system does not indicate we charged you an additional $59.96. Our records also show your charges were not honored by your financial institution after a dispute initiated by you.Adverse charge dispute decisions do not mean the charges are not valid and in no way alleviates the renter of responsibility of costs that were incurred during the rental time frame.

      Being that the chargeback was issued by your banking institution, please contact them regarding this matter.

      Regarding Rental Record # ********* Complaint Case Number# ******** I rented a vehicle on Monday 3/27 at 7a, and was provided an electric vehicle. After traveling for under 70 miles (3 hours driving or so) the vehicle charge reduced over 40% which required a charge. We were not given any instructions on how to charge. We located a charging station, which required setting up an account with Blink. After an hour and 45 minutes the vehicle only charged 40%. This required us to make a hard decision and cancel our plans and return to the rental car location for safety reasons, canceling months planned birthday plans.Upon returning to the rental location, we were told to speak to the office. And entering I realized I left a medical device in the vehicle, and quickly asked for assistance as we watched it drive away. The customer service agent was rude and stated no one had turned anything in, and we explained they would not have, as we came in within 45 seconds of it driving off. He was rude and said walk back outside. I then asked to speak with a manager and stated it was a very frustrating day. He walked away and yelled into an office door and said this "lady wants to speak with a manager because she had a very frustrating day and wants to talk about getting a different rental" which was completely unprofessional. A manager did come out, and I asked to step outside. He took care of that and found the device and returned.We then spoke about the electric vehicle charging issues. I explained the lack of charge and something was wrong. He stated they only had electric vehicles, and a Tesla. I asked about extending the rental at no cost since we spent 4 hours between driving and charging and then driving back for safety. He stated only billing was able to assist in extending a vehicle at no cost and to do it online and then call. We were again given no instructions and were locked out of the vehicle. Refund (for 1 day) and points requested (which manager promised ****)

      Respectfully, I am rejecting this response because: what was not addressed was the fact I had to pay for a two day rental even though I had loss of use for one day. I was told by the manager the only option to extend the rental was online and at no cost was by calling and speaking billing (no one answered). I was provided a vehicle that didnt have the window cleaned of the percentage charged when we came back.  The manager stated the **** points was separate and now this is being offered as a consolation for the rudeness and loss of use for a day. It also took me emailing the BBB to gain a response. While I appreciate the gesture but the other request was also a refund of one day.

Hertz shouldve closed the invoice in 28 days which is subject to bridge of contact. So please advise them to solve this matter and release my funds immediately the way they charged back to my debit on file that they have. Im not asking much more there are other causes that I can bring on also in the prospect of laws & codes they have to follow. Ill be waiting my refund in full. Thank you and I appreciate it.

      You rented the vehicle from 01/03/23 - 03/10/23 which was 66 days. You were therefore charged for 9 weeks plus 3 days. You drove a total of ***** miles and had use of the vehicle for the full duration of your rental. As you were correctly charged there is no bases for a dispute, therefore no adjustment is warranted.

      Hertz is stealing peoples hard earned money partnering with Uber and they have no right to do so under the law. As I explained in my earlier message. Hertz has no right to charge any amount more than the 28 days cause otherwise they commit fraud and breach of contract under their terms of service between them and Uber platform. So please make them understand where am I coming from. Thanks

      Dear ***/*****,I am writing to express my profound disappointment and frustration with the car rental service I received from Hertz Company. On 04/13/2023, I rented a silver 4w pickup rental agreement ********* from your ********* branch (******). Unfortunately, the car broke down on the same day when I was driving to **** **. After an hour's drive from *********, the transmission and air conditioning stopped working, and I had to drive very slowly to your *******************. location. However, at St. ******, there were no available cars, so my son had to go and rent another car from ********* and drive for three hours to St. ****** to pick me up and continue my trip.I am deeply disappointed that I am being charged for both the broken car and the rescue car that I had to rent. Furthermore, the breakdown caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my plans, as I had important appointments to attend. I had to cancel several meetings and lost money as a result.I would like to express my displeasure with the service I received from your company. The breakdown was not my fault, yet I was left to deal with the consequences on my own. I firmly believe that Hertz Company should take responsibility for the situation and compensate me for the time and money I lost due to the breakdown.In conclusion, I would appreciate a prompt response to this letter, along with a resolution to my complaint. I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sincerely,*************************** Gold Member ********

      4/16/2023-4/17/2023 6pm-6pm Car picked up from ******************************** location on ********., **** Rental record # ********* I called the *** Hertz discounted rental line to reserve a car and was quoted more than one time that the car total for the time I needed it would be $44. When I arrived at the airport to pick up the car I had reserved I asked again for the quote total and again was told $44. I was asked if I wanted any insurance or added coverages or to prepay for gasoline which I declined. Before signing the documentation, I asked again what the total would be (again told $44) and confirmed I did not opt in for any add ons. When I checked my bank statement I was charged $77.82 because they had included the loss damage waiver onto my total. When I called the companys executive line, a woman named ********* (****) said there was nothing they would do because I had opted in and had signed the rental agreement. However, I had gotten confirmation more than once from the woman at the counter that my grand total would be $44 with a $200 incidental hold on my credit card. I never would have signed the agreement if I hadnt had confirmation of the price. I was so adamant about the confirmation of the price because this is now the second time Hertz has overcharged me and refused to refund the overage. They scam their customers and lie directly to your face. Come to find out, this is a common issue people have with Hertz Rental Cars and there are multiple articles released in regards to this company scamming their customers that I wish I had read prior to booking with Hertz.

      This correspondence is being sent in response to a query made by ******* *****. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to review your concerns. 

      We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the additional charges billed for the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) on your recent rental. Our records show that these services were accepted and signed for at the time of rental.  As such, the benefits of these services were extended for the duration of your rental.  As these charges were outlined on the rental contract, which was signed, they are considered valid and a refund not warranted. Please find a copy of your Signed Rental Agreement (SRA) attached.It is the customers responsibility to review the terms of this documentation, which a printed copy is provided in the rental sleeve, before departing the facility.

      However, as a one-time gesture of goodwill, we have processed a refund of the LDW  in the amount of $33.22. Though processed today, please allow up to 5-7 business days for the refunded amount to be reflected on your billing statement. This timeline is not determined by Hertz, but by your financial institution.

      Today I got an email saying my rental privileges were suspended. I am confused has to why. I tried to rent a car for a trip to ******* for my kids and didnt have enough available credit on my card to be able to rent a car Ive been renting cars with Hertz for years why would my rental privileges be suspended if I have not done anything wrong? I am confused by this email this must be some type of mistake. I made a reservation at another branch and then my wife took out the car under her name and decided to drive because I was unable to because I didnt have enough available credit on one credit card. Is there any further information you can give as to why you guys would just revoke my rental privileges? I tried the airport and the 2 local branches and was unable to rent the car with my debit card. My cards were maxed out because I booked a week long trip with annual passes to the ****** parks with a house so I just didnt have enough available credit. Surely thats not reason enough to just suspend someones rental privileges. So if you can give me any further details that would be great. The rental did actually end up being rented however. Thank you. Regards, *******************.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I contacted them and they told me I was not suspended. Now youre saying I am suspended I wrote this complaint after I got this exact same copy and paste email. May you please call me and help me understand why I was suspended if I did not even rent a car from you?
      Sincerely,
