Hertz

If I could give zero stars I would! I rented a vehicle from Hertz in Nashville TN and turned it in at the Bishop Airport Hertz in Flint MI. When I dropped the car off nothing was wrong with it no smell nor was it dirty. A few days later I noticed that Hertz had charged me over $600 for a $200 rental. I called them to see why and they told me they charged me $400 for a cleaning fee. I was totally confused as to why would I be charged a cleaning fee when the car wasn't dirty, (I did have my grandchildren with me but they didn't make a mess at all, they were pretty much sleep the whole ride.) The representative told me that in their notes it said the car had a strong odor, now I'm really confused! I said what strong odor? I don't smoke and me and my grandkids don't stink so what odor? I talked to a few different representatives no one could tell me what kind of odor it was. When I dropped the car off it didn't have any type of odor. I really hate I rented a car from these people, its like they can just take your money and say f* you! I am a hard working mother & grandmother it's just hurtful for a company to take your money for nothing and there's nothing you can do about it. I rent cars all the time and never have I experienced this. Everyone I talk to at Hertz keep saying the charges are valid and there's nothing they can do. I really want to talk to the person that checked the car when I turned it in, I want to know what odor did he/she smell because there was no odor. Hertz need to have multiple people inspect vehicles when people turn them in to be sure because I'm really being charged for a false odor. I will never rent from these people again and I am informing others about my experience and advising them to not rent from them. I am currently looking into legal help with this matter and sadly a law adviser informed me that Hertz has a history of over and falsely charging their customers and have a lawsuit against them for renting cars then reporting them stolen! Hertz or any car rental agency that has anything to do with Hertz will never get business from me, my family or friends ever again!
