A “longtime” Hertz customer says he is “done” with the car rental company after he claimed that the AI-powered damage detection system improperly flagged a nonexistent mark on the vehicle — even though video that he filmed immediately afterward appeared to back up his claim.
When angry customers sought to dispute the claim, they were unable to immediately reach a customer service rep.
“The link they send you does NOT allow you to submit a dispute. Calling customer support? Useless. They said they can’t do anything, even when I told them I have clear video evidence of the car being undamaged at the exact time the damage was claimed,” one customer said.
Always interesting to see Hertz being ragged on (and for good reasons). Personally, used it a couple of times in Finland and had super smooth service, fresh cars and better prices than fully digital carshare when offers are on, maybe I am just lucky or local franchise does things better than overseas counterpart.
