Do not use this company!!
Do not use this company! Would give 0 stars if we could! And you ruined our holiday!
We recently used Hertz to hire a car whilst in Italy, we collected and returned to Pisa Airport.
We returned the car at 08:15 approx. and was told by the lady in reception that this was an out of hours hand in despite 3 members of staff being there and they could not do the inspection until 9am, we hand the car over in good condition. 15 minutes later whilst in the airport we go our inspection report stating that damage had been found to the front bumper so severe that the whole bumper needed replacing! This obviously ruined our holiday as where then stuck in the airport waiting for our flight, no way to sort out this issue and email telling us €2000 will be deducted from our account for the damage. Yet they could not inspect whilst we where there as they did not start until 9am… clearly a lie and a great excuse/chance for them to put false damage claim through!
Checking the picture on the form in the email sent you could see no damage not that it was easy to tell as they were very small and extremely poor quality!
Luckily, we took pictures of the car in the returns point which clearly showed no damage!
Within the email sent to us was a hyperlink with a link to the email address to raise a dispute, we immediately typed up an email raising our dispute attaching our evidence only to receive an automated response stating this email address was no longer in use (what an absolute joke) clearly this is another step Hertz have taken to try and put people off raising a dispute so they can falsely try and take money from innocent people.
I scoured the internet to finally find another email address and tried again, success I got an automated response saying my email have been received and responded to in 7-10 working days.
You did contact us back quicker then 7-10 days and admitted you had lied sand there was no damage and cleared off the claim.
Too late damage has been done, would NEVER use you again, would NEVER recommend you to anyone only warn them away from a company that scams their customer
We hired 2 cars this holiday as there was 8 of us and gave you £1700 of our hard-earned money to be treated like this, and our holiday for everyone involved ended on a very sour note.
It always makes me wonder how many other innocent customers you have scammed like this and they have had to pay out as they didn’t have the photo evidence to back up their claim.
