My niece who looks like a little girl went to the airport Hertz rent a car on Sunday the 5th after reserving a car online with Dollar Rental that is serviced by HERTZ. My niece was renting a car so she goes in and rents the car and comes out looking weirded out so i look over the reciept and saw that the salesman had added insurance after i had already paid online for insurance and my neice has full coverage so i told her to go in and have him take the insurance off. She says could you please go in because the guy at the counter kept asking me for my phone number and asking me out and asking what i do in my spare time, and just give him a chance and on and on and on(mind you my niece looks like a 12 year old). So i says ok ill go. As i walk in its an older, short black guy with salt and pepper hair so that is gross and pervy already. I walked up to the counter and instead of saying my niece thinks you are an aggressive, thirsty old lecherous pervert and she doesn't want to come in and talk to you again, i said," my niece just left the counter and shes outside checking the car but i paid for her insurance online so she" before i could finish he puts his had up and says, IM NOT TALKING TO YOU ABOUT HER RENTAL, So i said ok, i go outside to get her. At this point i know hes going to act unprofessional so i turned on my recorder and recorded the following interaction.
She and i walked up to the counter and with her now with me i said she doesn't need the insurance, this time he holds his hand up in front of my face and says. I SAID IM NOT TALKING TO YOU. So i looks at my neice and tells her, Say you dont want the insurance. So she tells hem. He gets pissed and tried to still sell it to her so i look at her and tell her again tell him you dont want it. So at this point he addresses me and i told him dont say anything to me, we are the customers you wont speak to me like that shes a user on my card. So at this point im speaking back to me niece and tells her to tell him again to remove the insurance because you have credit card coverage and i paid for the coverage online. So she tells him again this time he says the coverage online doesn't cover our cars. I looked at my niece again and said he lying. At this point he said, I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. He walks out and goes to get airport security. So i decided to show him i had recorded the encounter, In that very instant his whole personality along with the security gurard's whole manner changed however he went and told airport security that we were making a scene to try and get us escorted out of the airport. The security guard didnt do it because she could see that he lied and i had the proof However with whats going on today one of us could have ended up in jail because of a lie an old pervy car rental clerk told had i not foreseen his short man complex and decided to record. To make a long story short we ended up not renting from HERTZ and what we learned is that hertz clearly doesn't screen its desk clerks. And as i side note i called back and asked him rates for a Tuesday and Wednesday to get his name. "MARK" he told me the rate was 179.00 when i asked him what the daily rate was he didnt even know but he instatly realized that i knew he was lying and started to fast talk saying if i look on line the price will be cheaper because they dont give the online price at the desk. So not only is he a pervert he charges last minute customers double the price. Hes just simply not a good person much less a good employee read more
