Hertz Rent A Car - Call log from my phone repeatedly calling Brighton Hertz and towing company.

Hertz Rent A Car

Hertz rented me a Chevy Equinox while my car was in the shop. It was a lemon. The battery died…read moretwice - both times before the morning school run. I contacted the Brighton location (as that was where it was due to be returned), who said they were not responsible for helping me. I got through to roadside assistance who jump started the car, but within the hour it had failed again. More time on the phone to get a tow truck out. Belle Tire tested the battery but said it wasn't damaged so they knew Hertz wouldn't let them replace it. Why didn't Hertz offer to swap it for another car at this point? The day I was to return the car, the battery died again. I rang roadside assistance and told them to tow the car to the Brighton location as that was supposed to be the drop off point. Within the hour I received an irate phone call from Hertz at Brighton wanting to know why I had sent them a dead car. 'Yes. Inconvenient isn't it?' I replied. I let the guy know that I was unhappy about the car and wanted a refund. His words were ' yeah, that's not going to happen, why do you think this is our responsibility? And why didn't you contact us in advance about the faulty car?' Listen mate, my call log shows exactly how many times I called your location's number. It just links back to the automated system, and then the AI bot Hayley, and finally to you, who abnegated responsibility time and again. I thought Hertz was a reliable company with reliable vehicles. I was wrong.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The Hertz in Brighton, Michigan has completely lost my…read morebusiness. As a government employee with 25+ years of public service and a business owner, I know what professional, respectful customer service looks like -- and this location delivers the exact opposite. Because I don't use a credit card, I've been treated with disrespect and condescension here multiple times. On one prior rental attempt, I used a company discount code without credentials in hand, and instead of handling it professionally, staff treated me as if I was being dishonest -- which was insulting and completely untrue. Ever since, every interaction at this location has made me feel looked down upon. The final straw came with my most recent rental (Record: H43482880, Vehicle: 2025 KIA Soul). I rented on August 14, 2025 and returned the car the next day, August 15, 2025 at 1:38 PM. The office was closed with only a sign saying staff were "in the field," so I followed instructions and left the key. To this day, I have received no receipt, no call, no acknowledgment of my return. This is not just bad service -- it's negligence. If a company can't manage something as basic as processing a return and issuing a receipt, then it shouldn't be in business. Hertz's lack of accountability, poor record-keeping, and dismissive staff behavior show a complete disregard for customers. I will never rent from Hertz again, and I plan to share this experience with my network of over 4,000 followers so others know how this company treats paying customers. Do yourself a favor -- avoid this location, avoid this company. Respect and professionalism are not optional in customer service, and Hertz failed at every step.
