Likely gas tank scam at Hertz Gare de Lyon!
I rented from Hertz at Gare de Lyon and they charged me for a supposedly unfilled tank (twice).
It appeared on my credit card statement a few days after returning the car.
Last time it happened to me, I have proof of refueling from the Esso gas station 100m away from the return parking entrance, but they did not reimburse me as they supposedly refueled the car later.
I live in Seattle but I am French, so I was able to discuss the issue with the manager of the Hertz agency but she stands on the fact that they have refueled the car later (BTY 13 liters of gazole for 100 km driven!).
Based on her paperwork, she is right, based on mine, I am right but there is still something wrong here.
Maybe a tactless Hertz employee?
Nevertheless, it appears that I am not alone having the same issue with Hertz Gare de Lyon.
