Rental Agreement No: ********* On February 13 I rented a Tesla Model 3. At the time of sale the person at the counter asked me if I would like to prepay $35 for charging the car. He said - verbatim - "This way you can bring it back empty". "EMPTY" was the exact word he used. After returning the car I received a receipt with an additional $35 charge. I was charged $35 twice. I called Hertz and (after spending almost half an hour on hold) was informed that evidently if the car was returned with less than 10% charge there is an additional charge. This was NOT disclosed to me at the point of sale. If it was, I would have declined prepayment and charged the car myself (and it would have been cheaper than $35, by the way, let alone $70). I requested a refund for the $35 but it was denied. Instead I was offered credit on future rentals or points. I am leaving for another country in two days - potentially for a couple of years. This credit and points are useless to me. I would like a refund of the $35.Business Response

This correspondence is being sent in response to a query made by *******************************. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to review your concerns.
I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding regarding extending your rental you are currently in. In a review of our records, I can confirm the last extension was made on 02/10/2023 for a return on 02/11/2023. On 02/12/2023 the vehicle became overdue, and as of today,02/16/2023 we do not show an additional extension has been made. Therefore, the vehicle is still overdue. When a vehicle is overdue our billing system will automatically place authorization holds on the vehicle for the day it is overdue, this has been denied by your credit card company since 02/12/2023 when the vehicle became overdue. At this time we would advise to contact the location directly or our Rental Extensions team at ************.
Regarding the change in your daily rate, in accordance to the Terms and Conditions of the Signed Rental Agreement if any changes or alterations are made to the original contract the rates and cost are subject to change. This is including but not limited to extending a rental, returning early or changing the return location. Therefore, the rates are valid.
While I understand this is not the outcome you were anticipating, I hope you will respect our position on this matter as we consider it having been fully addressed.
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.Initial Complaint

We rented two cars at Christmas * *********** and Denver * and the car in *********** had illegal bald tires. We hit that awful blizzard and told the manager we should get a refund but nothing yet. Also in ****** we were sent outside to find a car in the dark, below freezing storm. Horrible service and unsafe. We asked to speak to a manager when we returned the car but of course no one was there! After I was charged for both I found out the only 'real' complaint must go via email and as of now no response or apology.

I am rejecting this response because: their response does not address the incorrect January 5, 2023 charge of $500 in addition to the February 15, 2023 charge for $53.04 and because ***** at Hertz ************************ Airport told me on February 22, 2023 I should be refunded all the damage charges. On February 22, 2023, I called the ************ Hertz ******************** number to get information about the $53.04 charge. ***** reviewed my file and said yes, it was clear I had a return slip showing no damage and that the two charges - $500 on 1/5/23 and $53.04 on 2/15/23 - should be reversed. ***** said to email the manager at ********************* to request the refund. I emailed that day but I have not received a response. I have attached the email.I will accept only a full refund of $553.04 to resolve this matter. I have repeatedly ask both the Hertz PR Airport location and Hertz customer service for proof showing the car I returned had windshield damage at return and that damage falls outside of their normal wear and tear guidelines (attached). When I visited the Hertz PR airport location on January 7, 2023 in person, manager ************************* said chips can happen when they are driving around the airport to take the vehicle to the car wash. He asked for three days to looking into my request. I never received a response. On February 24, 2023 Hertz customer service responded saying the windshield was broken on the car. This was the first time I was told the windshield was broken. Because the Hertz PR airport location's story keeps changing and their staff is telling me I am not at fault, I expect Hertz to refund the entire damage charges of $553.04.

I contacted Hertz at the number they provided in their response on 2/28/23. I was told the person who handles credit card information was not available but would contact me at the number I provided. On 3/1/23 ***** with Hertz called me to get my credit information to process the refund. She said it can take 7 to 10 business days to process but often happens sooner. As of 3/2/23 at 8am, the refund is not showing - in

H8269809 2 MA I would like to dispute the *** charge. When I met the representative in the parking lot he explained that it was $15.00 (TOTAL he did not say this was a daily charge). I remember because I made a joke and said "wow only $15.00 for that coverage I might as well, that's so cheap!". Furthermore the contract does not state per day it just states $15.00. I NEVER would have agreed to this had I known it was $15.00 a day. If it was in fact a daily charge it must state that on the contract. No where on the contract does it state this is a daily charge. It states above that it is not insurance so I had no way of knowing this was a daily charge.On 2/1 the representative sent an email stating "I'm escalating your charge dispute to see if a refund would be appropriate.If we determine that a refund is justified, I would put in a request which typically takes up to 8 weeks to be fulfilled.Conversely, if we determine that the refund is not justified, I would also provide documentation and reasons for why the dispute is denied by our review team.I just wanted to provide you with a time frame so that you know what to expect either way.Thanks for your patience in the mean time." There were 3 representatives from Hertz cc'd on that email. Since then I have sent several emails. I called and left a message with the someone at the Somerville location on 2/10. I have not received any phone call or email to update me on this claim.I am seeking a refund for this in the amount of $570.00. As I am a graduate student working in the mental health field this matter is urgent as this is not a small amount of money for me.Business Response

I have been renting cars in ****** for the last year as I am over here working. I came back to ****** Jan 10th from Holiday in ******* where I live. I had a small car booked at Hertz in ***** through our SAP booking system for work travel. You can only book so far out so I booked the car for Jan *****st and I always explain I actually need the car for several months, do I renew online or call/email. The normal Hertz location I have been dealing with for several months prior, on the return date, I email a photo of the mileage and they run my work credit card and renew 30 days. So I explained that to him that I needed the car until April 1st. He said perfect just email or call like the other agency and he wrote he said he would give me his work email. So paperwork was fairly quick. He pulls out two envelopes with keys and says "i only have two automatics like you booked we gave your car away, I have a *** x1 and *** x3" I said x1 is fine this is at the rate I booked correct? He said yes. I took the keys he printed the paperwork asked me to sign. The total was $17xx.** and I asked is this the running total until April 1st? He said yes it is the price until April initial here and pointed it out said one is your copy one is mine, he took my copy and wrote his email down. The next day I was filing my work receipts and filed the hertz agreement. I noticed that the ticket said Jan 10-Jan 31st and that is not what we discussed, so I immediately started calling, emailing to make sure the listed cost was like he told me until April 1st. Days and days of endless phone calls, emails 12 in total emails and chat conversations lead no where. Not answering my questions. I spoke with the people at the normal Hertz location I deal with and when the guy was looking at the ticket he said it was correct $23.20 a day, the ticket was the price until April Jan 31st was just that segment end date.

On 12/31/22 we had a reservation for an SUV from Hertz Rental Car, ******************** We rented an SUV, picked up a vehicle from the designated area and were told at exit that specific vehicle was reserved for a certain person and should be have been in that section. We were then told to pull over to an aisle about 20 yards from the exit and take ANY vehicle by the man working. We exited the vehicle, loaded our bags into the vehicle we parked next to and proceeded to the exit again. At the exit another man was with the first, and asked again for ID and credit card. He immediately proceeded to argue with my partner and said there was an upgrade charge. We tried to explain that we were told to take ANY vehicle in that section. He then, already having our credit card, swiped the card and when we said we didnt authorize the transaction he said he couldnt reverse it and customer service was closed. I have attempted to file a complaint with Hertz but have received no response for over 30 days.

I prepaid ($206) for a class c sedan for 12/22/2023 - 12/26/2023 from the Brooklyn - ************ location (Rental agreement number *********). Upon arrival I was given a Class D (which is lower) since there was nothing else available. On my rental contract it noted the price was $622 which is significantly higher than the prepaid price I paid, however, the contract stated there was a -$601 voucher and not be worry about it. Midway through my reservation I received a random charge on my credit card for $398 making the total reservation cost $600. I called hertz on two occasions in January who had no explanation for the price difference and was told the random $398 charge would be refunded to my account. The difference was still not refunded so I called again on 12/14/2023 and demanded to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor informed me that the the price difference was due to a change to the reservation. I informed him that I had not made any changes which is clear because the dates, time, location, and car match what was in my original confirmation. Additionally, I asked him to tell me what "Change" I had made and he told me that when I went to pick up the car I had asked to be charged the walk I rate which is complete nonsense because I had never called Hertz prior to picking up my car. I asked for a case number, date and time of the call and he was unable to provide it. He was unable to prove that I requested any changed and was still unwilling to help. Additionally, I was lied to by the two prior agents who told me that I would be refunded. In all cases the customer services agents were reluctant to give any confirmation or case numbers which is unheard of for a business. I additionally tried to dispute the charge with my credit card and received a response threatening sending my case to collections.Business Response

Rental agreement: ********* Problem: Hertz continues to send me bills in the mail stating I owe them money ($1,701.27) when I have already paid them. I've emailed them 5 times (and called) to the email address on their billing page explaining every transaction date and the fact that they've been paid but they continue to harass me with bills. 4/24/22- I prepaid $1,701.27 to Hertz for a car rental from 8/7/22 to 8/14/22.6/01/22- Sometime in June my credit card number was compromised so I had to get a new credit card 8/07/22- I arrived in ************* airport for the start of vacation. Hertz rep ****** he needs my original card to prove who I am even though I have my id. So since I don't have my original card (which was compromised), I had to supply another card which they charged on 8/14 at the end of my rental and they wouldn't provide a refund of $1,701.27 from my original charge.8/14/22- I was charged $1,811.34 for the week rental plus they already had $1,701.27 from my prepaid charge on 4/24.8/16/22- Started calling Hertz billing and each day I called they had an excuse for why my $1,701.27 wasn't refunded. I was also told 3 different supervisors would be calling me to explain why they hadn't refunded my money but no one ever called.8/31/22- No response from Hertz or money refunded so I disputed $1,701.27 with my **** of America credit card.9/27/22-**** of America credit card took back the $1,701.27 that Hertz owed me for my refund.10/01/22-I noticed on my other compromised credit card account that Hertz finally refunded the $1,701.27 in September so I called up **** of America credit card to send Hertz the $1,701.27 back to them. 10/10/22-**** of America credit card applied the $1,701.27 back to Hertz so I no longer owe them anything.12/09/22-Received bill in the mail from Hertz (Invoice date 12/09/22) stating I owe $1,701.27.12/20/22-Emailed Hertz all the documentation needed showing I owe nothing. Sent them 5 emails since then with no response.Business Response
