Contact Hertz Rental Car EV SUV Van Support

My wife reserved a vehicle online as it stated it was available. The following day the local store tried to call me, but since I am not able to take my phone into work I did not get the information. They had told me they did have that car anymore. The only car they had was a small SUV. They said they would have to charge me more because it was a 2021 SUV. I said well ok since I need a car. The manager said she would have try and get it lowered. So the price ended up being the same price as the original car I was going to rent. The problem came when she added PAI/PEC and roadside service without my approval and changing what my wife had selected online. So I brought this to her attention and she stated that if she took that off she would have to charge me $150 a day instead of $53 a for the car. She didn’t even show me the new charges or go over the documents. She didn’t even want to do a walk around for the car. I had to say ok let’s do a walk around. Then she told me that I would only have to put in as much fuel as was in the car already when I returned It. On the contract it says tank needs to be full. She was more worried about closing than. taking care of the customer. Before I could even get in my car they had closed up shop. It was 5:00 when we left. My wife’s number is also in my file, instead of trying three times to call me she should of called my wife.

I am a president circle member that has rented a car with hertz in total this year for over 150 days. After the last update I can not seem to be able to rent a car with the app. It always has some kind of issue that says try back later or member id format is incorrect. As a person who is constantly on the go the app was a godsend for last minute car rentals. And lately not so much. It’s impossible to talk to someone to try and get it fixed. The only number I could find was the platinum where someone would actually answer the phone. I was told they could not help me and to please not call the platinum line again as it is for platinum members only. I then asked while I had them on the phone what it would take to be platinum and they said I would have to be invited. I said including the last 6 months last year and the first six months of this year I have rented 350+ days in a years time and they said sorry that doesn’t cut it. With the app not working as well as hertz not willing to at least have the conversation about upping my status it may be time to find a new rental car company. I’m sure there are others out there that would appreciate a 365 days a year rental customer as well as a company that has an app for people that are constantly on the go that works.

To make a car reservation via their website utilizing my points. The website would not allow me to redeem my reward points. I attempted to call customer service to ask for assistance in walking me through doing it where I was told they would charge me an additional 5% because I was talking to a person. When I said the website is not allowing me to redeem my points the sales associate said they would still have to charge me 5% for talking to him. Hertz’s is not a user-friendly website nor is there a customer service associate friendly. I attempted to talk to a manager to rectify the issue and ended up being hung up on. Went back to the website started a chat where I was probably disconnected from the original person that I was speaking with and had to redo another chat with another person. Do you want to charge an additional 5% for speaking to a human yes your website is not user-friendly, nor is it fully functioning to allow people to redeem your points effectively, and is gouging the customer. I am a five-star customer and have been loyal to your company for years and it doesn’t seem like it really matters. Maybe my loyalty needs to change to another vendor in future.
