I’d be tempted to make my next communication via a lawyer’s letter.

Hertz is the worst rental car company I’ve ever dealt with.

Hurts to rent a car.

Hey, anyone want a hertz doughnut?

It is 96 octane electricity for your premium EV. Those electrons have got lot more zap.

Unfortunately the only way to deal with these idiots is to speak their language: threaten legal action and be prepared to follow through.

The fact that Hertz wanted people to bring EVs back fully charged only to have them sit in a parking lot overnight where hertz could’ve charged them themselves is enough. I’ll never give them a dime.

Seems like a pretty easy dispute to win on the credit card with proper documentation.

Hertz is speedrunning their way to second bankruptcy.

Hertz is a hot mess. Go elsewhere when you need to rent.

Small claims court should do the trick. Small claims judges are super efficient. First thing they want to see is the written contract. Since the written contract shows customer paid in advance for recharging, case will over in a couple minutes. Customer will get his $277 back plus court costs.

Is Avis still #2?

That denial letter Hertz sent is either written by a terrible AI or is a collection of sentences copy-pasted together by someone who doesn’t speak English.

Weirdest experience, but I go to hertz to pick up a car, car is not available, they force me to do a paid upgrade (additional $30/day), and then I get a god awful Santa Fe. The manager talked down at me for booking the rental 3 days before I needed it and somehow making it my fault that the car wasn’t available. (Note: not an airport location)
I drive the car for fifteen minutes and there’s a big fucking rash on my face. Idk how they clean or what they do, it was toxic enough to ruin my face. I had a client meeting that day and wasn’t carrying my usual bag of makeup. Didn’t realize I looked like a clown till I made it to the restroom.
Awful experience. Never again.

Stopped renting from Hertz the other big rentals years ago. Turo is great, and hosts usually give bigger margins for what they want the charge at upon return.

Never gonna rent from Hertz, that’s for sure
Hertz is charging the car by using the gas to boil a pot of water to turn a turbine to charge the car.
Has anyone with T-Mobile rented an EV from Hertz and used the return without charging promo?
Friends don’t let friends rent from Hertz.
Hertz: “we can’t understand why nobody wants to rent our EVs!”
