Why do customers usually contact Hertz’s support?
Here are some of the most common issues that customers present to customer support:
- Sudden cancellation. A lot of customer reviews have noted that reservations were canceled at the last minute. This messed up the customers’ schedules and even stranded them in certain places.
- Defective cars. Some customers received vehicles that were broken or lacked functionality. In one case, the company provided a customer with a car with a broken windshield.
- Billing mistakes. For a car rental, there can be various add-on features to select. Usually, the clerk will ask if you want to get extra insurance coverage. Although some customers opt-out of this, there were instances wherein Hertz still charged them the additional fee.
- Wrong car or overbooking. When renting a vehicle, you have the option to choose what kind of car you want. However, there have been times when Hertz was not able to provide what customers reserved. This mistake puts the customer in a difficult and inconvenient situation. Those who needed and reserved a 9-seater car but ended up with a 5-seater vehicle would have had a tough situation on their hands.
Sometimes, even when customers get ahold of customer service, Hertz representatives cannot give them a clear solution to the problem. You may have to repeatedly contact them to get them to take action.
