Calling this Hertz Customer Number

By Jeff Whelpley

Jul 8, 2024

Calling this number to reach Hertz is productive, although it takes a fair amount of time to reach someone. Before calling, it's important to note that this number is only supposed to be used to change a reservation, report issues with a past reservation or get information about rates. Calling this number for information isn't something that Hertz advertises, although it can be done if you're willing to get around the automated system.

The system does try to stick to its limited purposes, as it only presents those three choices of making a new reservation, expressing issues with a past reservation or getting rates. I chose new reservation, intending to get assistance with another Hertz-related issue. The system told me that my call would have a wait time of about 10 minutes, and it did not offer to give me a call back. It did suggest going onto Hertz.com to get information over waiting on the phone, but that was the only way that it offered to reduce my wait time.

I chose to wait out the 10 minutes and was connected with a representative at the end of that time. I asked him how long I had before my Hertz #1 Club Gold points expired, as I hadn't been active in several months and wanted to see if my points would still be around for much longer. He said that points expired after one calendar year from earning them and confirmed that it was a 12-month time frame. I thanked him for that information and he thanked me for calling Hertz.

While the long wait time is a pain, it's understandable given how long it takes many rental car issues to get resolved. The information I got was helpful and to the point. Based on this, I would definitely use this number if needed.

Jeff truly believes that all customers deserve good service. He’s been building tools, inventing phone tree hacks and helping customers since before his days at GetHuman. He's also a Google GDE and involved in the Angular community.

GetHuman does not provide call center services or customer support operations for Hertz. The two organizations are not related. GetHuman builds free tools and shares information to help customers of companies like Hertz. For large companies that includes tools such as our GetHuman Phone, which allows you to call a company but skip the part where you wait on the line to get a live human rep. We continue to work on these tools to help customers like you (and ourselves!) navigate the messy phone menus, hold times, and confusion with customer service.
