I'm writing to share a consumer protection story that I feel obligated to share. I was recently charged $896.20 by Hertz for emergency roadside assistance — a tow that I declined and never received.
After losing the key to my rental car, I contacted Hertz roadside assistance. They informed me they were unable to dispatch a tow to help me. I ultimately declined the service and made other arrangements, paying for a tow myself the next morning.
Despite receiving no assistance, Hertz billed me nearly $900. When I contacted them, I was initially told the charge would be refunded. Then they reversed their decision, saying they had paid a vendor — even though no tow ever occurred.
I’ve filed a credit card fraud dispute, formal complaints with the Tennessee Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, and posted publicly on Trustpilot and other consumer sites — and I’ve heard from others who have experienced similar issues with Hertz billing for undelivered services.
I’d be happy to speak further, share documentation, and provide a timeline of events. This isn’t just about a single billing error — it’s about holding large corporations accountable for predatory billing practices that harm everyday consumers.
