Introduction

If something has gone wrong with your Hertz rental, like unexpected charges, a car issue, or a problem with your booking, this guide will walk you through how to handle it. You’ll learn exactly where to go, what to click, and how to report the issue. The steps are simple and easy to follow, even if it’s your first time dealing with a rental problem. From logging into your account to contacting customer service, everything you need is laid out clearly. Follow the steps below to get started and make sure your issue gets the attention it needs.

Go to Hertz Official Website

Start by opening your internet browser. In the search bar at the top, type in www.hertz.com and press Enter. This will load Hertz’s official homepage, where you can begin managing your reservation.

Sign In to Your Hertz Account

Click the "Log In" button at the top right corner of the homepage. A login page will appear where you’ll need to enter your UserID and password. If you don’t have an account yet, click on “Join” and follow the steps to register using your reservation information.

Go to “Reservations List”

After logging in, look for the "My Reservations" tab usually under your profile. Click it and enter your reservation confirmation number and last name if it doesn’t appear automatically. Select the correct booking from the list that appears.

Review Your Rental Details and Identify the Problem

Once your reservation is open, carefully look through the rental details. Check the dates, locations, charges, and any extra fees. Write down or screenshot the reservation number and the issue you want to report, whether it’s overcharging, fuel charges, damage, or anything else that seems incorrect.

Go to the Help Center

Scroll to the bottom of the website and click on “Customer Support” or “Help.” This will take you to the Hertz Help Center. Use the search bar to type in keywords related to your issue, like “overcharge” or “vehicle issue.” Browse the results to see if you can fix the issue yourself using their instructions.

Contact Hertz Customer Service

If the Help Center doesn’t resolve your problem, scroll down on the same page and click “Contact Us.” Scroll down, you’ll be shown options to call, chat, or submit a contact form. Choose the method you prefer. If calling, choose the number from the country you are in. If chatting, click the chat icon and follow the prompts. For the form, fill in your details and describe the issue clearly. Attach any screenshots or documents that support your case.

If you haven’t received a response within two days, go back to the "Contact Us" section and follow up. You can use the same contact method or try another.

Conclusion

To fix a problem with your Hertz rental, start by going to www.hertz.com and signing into your account. Then go to “Manage Booking,” check your reservation, and identify the issue. Try resolving it through the Help Center, and if that doesn’t work, contact customer service directly by phone, chat, or online form. If you don’t get a response within 48 hours, follow up or escalate your complaint. Once Hertz receives your information, they’ll investigate and respond with a solution, usually a refund, correction, or explanation. By following these steps, you’re giving yourself the best chance at a quick resolution.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Hertz Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
