If you are having any problems with the service that Hertz has provided you, try customer service first. If they continue to ignore your requests or complaints, you can proceed to reach out to the higher-ups. Just don’t report your issue to all the executives at once.

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 customers have noted that their reservations were canceled at the last minute. This messed up their schedules and, in certain instances, even got them stranded somewhere. 
  • Defective cars. Some customers have 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. There are various add-on features to select when you rent a car. Usually, the clerk will ask if you want to get extra insurance coverage. Although some customers opt-out of this, there have been instances where 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 had reserved. This mistake puts the customer in a difficult situation. Those who 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 their problem. You may have to contact them repeatedly to get them to take action.
