      I rented a SUV from Hertz on December 10, 2022 with family visiting in town. I returned the car the same day with a full tank and had no accident nor noticed any damage to the car. A rental receipt assessed that day found no damages either. 10 days later (12/20) I received a notice that the car may have been damaged and I requested further information on what the alleged damage is. No response. On 02/06/2023 I receive a claims notice for $1200 for alleged scratches and dents on the car. Again, I was not in an accident nor noticed that anyone had hit the car. I emailed again asking for a rental log of the car, CCTV footage from the car in the garage to determine if these scratches were there before and after I returned the car. No response. Given the lack of visible damage assessed upon return, timeline of communication, and failure from Hertz to respond to, it appears Hertz is attempting to defraud me. I am requesting the charges to be nullified and a refund given for my time spent.

      I made a reservation with Hertz on 1/13 for a car rental on 2/13. I called around noon on 2/13 to confirm the specialty car would be available. I was assured the car was charging and would be available and also asked to arrive before 5 p.m. although the reservation was 5 p.m. because they were closing. I arrived around 4:30 p.m. and noticed the a TESLA was not in the parking lot. I asked for the vehicle, they said it was on their way. Around 5:10 p.m. the car arrived. They started to process the rental agreement, they were unable to. The car they had charging to rent out had a work order for an oil change. I specifically rented a electric vehicle. They did not offer any discount to ease the situation. I advised ****** to ensure I would not be charged the $90.00 fee as I did go pick up the vehicle but they did not do they due diligence in checking the vehicle prior to taking it to charge for rental. Hertz Car Rental unjust fully charged me $90.00 on 2/18/2023 for a car rental they did not fulfil. Their corporate office apologized and stated on 2/16 that I would not be charged. When you call corporate they do not clearly understand English in order to assist you. Additionally, A second rental was cancelled within the ************************************************ $232.00. I have tried calling and not able to obtain help. I called the corporate number and the line transfers to ************* island where they are not able to help. Do not use this company, it is a complete nightmare and a waste of time.

      We rented a car online with Hertz for our ** trip and prepaid $755.91. The total amount for the rental was $963.96 so we had $208.05 left to pay at the time of rental. We did not add any insurance because we have full car rental insurance with **************** Platinum and it is clearly stated in AMEXs terms that you do not need extra insurance when renting a car because it is already full coverage. When we get to the rental center we ask to add an extra driver which they tell us the price of and we agree. They tell us to sign and specifically say you just need to sign this to be able to drive off so we do without questioning anything. However we noticed when returning the car that they in fact added costs for a total of $1277.85 which included insurance costs and premium roadside service which we never asked for and there was absolutely no reason for us to add insurance when we already had it. Im used to traveling and renting and Im aware that employees make a commission for extras that they sell to customers at the desk, which I would guess is the reason they did this. However those costs were never communicated or mentioned. It can not be legal to add charges and not notify the customer. They added them without us being aware (probably to make a commission). The total of the car rental ended up to $2033.76 when we were only supposed to pay $963 + the extra driver (and of course any charging costs, which ended up to $165.85).

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. A review of our records indicates you accepted and acknowledged the additional insurances on your signed rental agreement (see attached). As we are unable to substantiate a verbal conversation we rely on the signed rental agreement to verify your acceptance and understanding of your charges.

      I made a reservation on 1-31-23 with Hertz reservations confirmation number (K38934296F8) to reserve a ****** Rav4/kia Sportage pickup on 2-07-23 thru 2-17-23 for $******. On Feb 05- 2023 I received a friendly reminder from Hertz about my upcoming trip and reservation, again confirming my reservation with the same confirmation number and documents I would need. On Feb 07 at the appointed date time and location I checked in to pick up my reserved car. I was told they didn't have any cars. The rep said that "Hertz online reservations" doesn't check to see availability of cars at a location, but only takes reservations. He even said that if there was a car available, it wouldn't be rented to us at that price. They offered no further assistance . We were just stranded.There were several standing in line behind us who found out that they wouldn't get a car either, even though they too had reservations. He suggested trying the other car rental agencies. As a walk up, one rental agency wanted $4000 per week the other said $2500 per week. After seeking help from my son over the phone, I was able to secure a car for $**** for the 10 days from a company called U-save. After the trip was over I called Hertz and was told that Hertz in ********** (HCR) is a franchise and I should talk with them. HCR said it's Hertz Phone Reservations (HPR) problem for taking the reservation, not their problem. Then, I asked the Hertz Customer Servicer (*** id #***** why ********************** would take the reservations for HCR. I called HPR to clarify that if I reserved a car, I would get a car.. That agent said of course the car would be reserved and waiting for me. I then explained to her what happened to me. No response. Personally I think HCR is not honoring their agreement so they can rent the cars for more money. That was a horrible way to start a vacation I'm seeking the difference between what was reserved with Hertz (******) and what I had to pay to u-save (****) a difference of $863.84.

      Thank you for contacting us. We reached out to our team in ********** regarding your experience and requested their feedback. They have advised there was a wait for vehicles when you arrived and you were not willing to wait for the next car available in the same class that you reserved. They have confirmed that many cars were returned but needed to be serviced to make sure that prior to releasing the vehicle, it is in good condition. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

      I am rejecting this response because: The response from the people at Hertz is an absolute lie. I was told by the desk at Hertz in ********** that they had no cars and didnt know when or if one would ever become available. And offered zero help in getting us a car from Hertz or any other car company even though I had a reservation and time to pick up.Not only that but he said Hertz international that took our reservation never verified with them as to their car availability . He said there was nothing that he could or would do.

I do not smoke and it is against my contract as a physician to smoke.

      My husband and I were at your ********, ** location yesterday and would like to log a formal complaint about the service and employees. My husband (*******************************) and I booked a car 2 days ago for 10am today. We paid $362 in advance to reserve the car. We arrived at the location on time for the scheduled pick up. Usually with Hertz Gold plus rewards you can use a kiosk and avoid the line, so we went directly to the desk to ask where we should go as gold members. The very rude employee at the desk (who we weren't sure was an actual employee as her attire didn't look professional, she was in pajamas) stated that we will be served after the other customers on the line with no other clarification. Another customer had to explain they were gold members as well. The employee, whose name was *******, then started yelling and clapping at the customers in the store. Telling us all to be quiet, and that they only had 3 cars left and everyone else was out of luck. ******* proceeded to make rude comments and be extremely disrespectful for the rest of our time at Hertz. When it finally became our time to be seen they did not have the car we reserved, and said that none of the information on Hertz.com is correct including car availability, the pay now reservation, and gold plus rewards.Not having the car was a great inconvenience for us, so we requested our payment to be refunded. She responded by throwing a flyer at my husband with a number to call. When we requested additional information as to why it couldn't be done at that time. She said that they don't deal with payments even though she had just taken a credit card payment from the customers in front of us. We had paid in advance as we needed the car today and to not have the car we needed, not be able to get our money back, and to be disrespected and threatened in the process for simply asking questions is beyond unacceptable. Hertz has lost 2 long-term customers in ******* # K4053875368

      I had a reservation to pick up the car at ************ on Nov 19, 2022. The reservation number is K20025989D8. When I landed ****, the agent told me the reservation was cancelled. However, I have never cancelled this reservation. The only chance is that the reservation was cancelled by Hertz system. And, I even didn't get any email or text message which told me the reservation was cancelled. Hertz system show the reservation was cancelled on 11/09/22 at 19:36h. However, I got confirmation on 20:33h. Seems it's system glitch.I waited at ************ for 1 hour and ended up renting another vehicle from Enterprise. It's already sold out for most companies on Nov 19. The price is very high.I want Hertz to compensate my rental with Enterprise.

      Also, the reservation you mentioned is not related to this cancellation. Its on another date. My itinerary is to pick up the car at **** and drop the car at Kona on the first day. And on the second day, I picked up another car at Kona. The first day trip is cancelled.

      Thank you for contacting us. Please accept my sincere apology for any misunderstanding. I have reviewed this matter and determined we need to adjust two days that you weren't able to use the vehicle. This results in your balance owed being adjusted from $660.00 to $333.44. Please allow up to 10 days for the balance to update in the records.

      My husband and I purchased a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica from Hertz Car Sales on 8/1/2020. Their website and their employees specifically stated that they have a seven day "no strings attached" return policy. We discovered that the car had mechanical issues and decided to return the car on the morning of 8/4/2020. During our return the office was having a staff meeting, so the sales people took the car from me and said there was nothing else to do. I asked that they send me a confirmation email stating that the deal was canceled and one of them sent me an email that read "your deal is voided." In September 2020 we started receiving bills from the auto loan company for car payments associated with this vehicle. We came to find out over the next few months that the deal had not been voided. We worked extensively with Hertz Corporate to get this resolved, even involving a military lawyer. Our demand was that the car loan be fully paid off and that the vehicle be removed from our name. We signed a power of attorney with Hertz Corporate in August 2021. We got phone communication this week (week of 2/17/2023) from the new manager at Hertz Car Sales ******** that the power of attorney we signed was not sufficient and they wanted us to sign another POA for a company called "TAGS ******." Upon further investigation with the **** we discovered that even though the title was flipped to Hertz in October of 2021 (10/8/2021 specifically), Hertz never removed us from the car registration. We also discovered that they filed the registration paperwork in September of 2020, which was one month after we returned the vehicle. We believe that Hertz has violated our trust and stolen our identity for this reason. We also find it unacceptable that its taken so long to contact us regarding the fact that the car is still registered to us in ******. This deal should have never been processed in the first place.

      We reached out to our Car Sales team for information regarding your complaint. They have advised they have been in contact with you as well as the ****** ***. ****** *** has advised they need the attached POA and a title application signed and notarized by both customers to properly get the vehicle out their name. They also inquired about the customers address discrepancy on the forms being the customers no longer resides in ******. ****** *** advised being the original registration has a ****** address on it, that is the last known information the *** has on record for them. 2 options: customer can either sign/ notarize the forms with their last HI address (attached) OR they can complete the blank forms & provide their current address/ info, whatever they feel most comfortable.

      I am so sorry I just saw that BBB sent an email on 3/3 and then again today.
      If possible, I would like this case reopened. The issue is that their
      response is still that I sign a POA. This is unacceptable. I have not seen
      this car in three years and the declarations they want me to make with these
      forms are essentially saying that Ive had knowledge of this car (mileage,
      safety condition, etc). I spoke to Hertz corporate today and they said the
      employees at this location wont even go to the *** to explain the situation
      in person and try to find a solution. This is unacceptable. Thanks for your
      help!

      I am rejecting this response because: I have already signed one POA and the car is no longer titled under my name. This business refuses to go in person to the *** to explain the issues. Their response isnt any different than what theyve already told us. 

      Sincerely,
