I rented on [protected] for a Dollar car for [protected] through Sam's Club Travel and Entertainment. On [protected], I was notified I could complete the online “Skip the Line.” Which I did. I was notified on my phone when I arrived at the El Paso Airport that I could choose my car. When I clicked, came back Out of Stock. I had to go to the line and wait. When I got to the counter, showed my confirmation number with the rental cost, I had to pay an extra $23.28. If I did not pay that, they would not rent me the car. Obviously, I had no choice.
When I made the reservation, I chose Intermediate E6 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The car I was given was a Nissan Versa. A huge difference between those two cars. The car was horrible, I could not adjust the seat high enough. The inside windows were streaked so bad I could not see well at night and if the sun was reflecting.
I was overcharged and then did not even receive the car I paid for. I called Sam's complaint department and explained the situation, I was told they could not do anything as I paid at the counter. Which I paid when I completed the online Skip the Line. She transferred me to Hertz and of course no one answered the phone. I completed the online complaint form email to Hertz.
I probably will not hear back. Therefore, I will be stopping payment on my credit card. I will never rent a car from Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty. I see no advantage from using Sam's Travel and Entertainment. Won't be using that ever again either.
Recommendation: FORGET HERTZ, DOLLAR & THRIFTY
