Back in 2004 I had rented a car from Hertz while my car was undergoing repairs. After returning the car and hearing nothing back from the rental car company - I received a letter from Purco Fleet Services with a bill for damages to the rental car - over $1000 in damages that I apparently was responsible for.

The rental car company never contacted me to talk about damages that had happened during the time I had the car; and I found the people at Purco were less that nice to work with on this matter unless you're willing to hand over a fist full of cash.

Why bring this up now? It has come back to haunt me in the form of credit reports time and time again. It's beyond frustrating to deal with companies that spend all their time finger pointing instead of listening -- and trying to find a workable solution.

Forced to upgrade my rental car

November 25, 2007

Question: I’m having some trouble with my car rental bill, and hope you can help me. I recently reserved a midsize car for about a month through the Hertz Rent a Car Web site. I was offered a price of 946 euros. But when my wife and I arrived at the rental counter in Hamburg, Germany, an agent told me that the car wasn’t available.

We were offered a smaller car at a reduced rate or a bigger car for an extra 10 euros per day. I asked why the larger car was not given as a complimentary upgrade, since the car I had reserved was not available, and was told that the upgraded car was in the “wrong class” and wouldn’t be an option.

Because cost was a concern for us, we opted for the smaller car. But our luggage wouldn’t fit in the trunk, so we returned to the office and asked if we could come back later to pick up the car we had requested. The agent said, “No.”

I had no choice but to take the larger car at 10 euros more per day. In the end, my rate seemed even higher than the one I had agreed to pay — it came to an extra 357 euros. It was a terrible start for our vacation, and I feel that the salesperson used a bait-and-switch tactic to make us pay more.

I have rented from Hertz many times and I have come to expect a much higher level of service from the company than I received on this occasion. I contacted Hertz and was offered half of the money back, but I think they should refund the entire 357 euros. What do you think?

– Earnest Hoenck, Charleston, S.C.

Answer:

You were correct to expect that when a vehicle you have reserved isn’t available, the car rental company should give you a car in the next available class at no extra charge. That’s a standard industry practice.
...
I asked Hertz to take another look at your rental record. It found that the agent in Hamburg was “aggressive” when you were renting your car, according to Hertz spokeswoman Paula Rivera. The employee “did not adhere to our policy of providing a complimentary upgrade if the car reserved is not available, ” she said. Hertz also failed to fully investigate your complaint. It has issued a 357 euro refund.
