Injury, wrecked car, and no response

AI Highlights
  • - Accident on 9/19/2023; Hertz renter ran a red light.
  • - Head injury; police report filed.
  • - ESIS/Hertz delayed contact; I paid rental; rep hung up.

I was in an accident 9/19/2023 where a renter of a Hertz vehicle T-boned my car after running through a red light. She ran right into my drivers side door causing my head to rickashay off my driver window.

So we have a head injury and the accident was at no fault of my own. I have a police report and everything. ESIS insurance/Hertz did not even call or attempt to reach me any other way for over a month. This is after I told them at least 5 times I have a head injury and I need my car to clearly be fixed asap as it is a means to get to my job...HELLO.

This company is horrific and should not be in business. I am now having constant headaches. The gross negligence is seriously disgusting. These people DO NOT care about you or your life or your car.

When I did finally get a call, of course I had a million questions, the first being... Where have you been? I cannot believe this is the first time you are reaching out to me?? I have a head injury and I have been paying for a rental for over a month out of my own pocket...

You know what the rep did? She hung up on me.

Loss:
$12000
Cons:
  • This company should not be in business

User's recommendation: Do not ever rent from HERTZ and I hope you are never in an accident with someone who rented from them using their vehicle.

ESIS Insurance is protecting Hertz’s interests. Even though the other driver is at fault, you need to get your insurance company involved.

That is what you pay them for.

They will send letter, emails and make phone calls. As it is now, they(ESIS), aren’t going to do anything.

AI Highlights
  • - Uber driver backed into my car in the Uber lot.
  • - He did not follow procedure and caused bumper damage.
  • - Damage 1000+; repair 440; claim pending.

On the 16th of August had an uber driver back into my vehicle at the uber lot. He only gave me his ID and I took a picture of his plates we both drive for uber he did not follow proper procedure and did at least a 1000 damage to my bumper.

Got it repaired for 440 instead but no one has contacted me and I know I will be on the hook for repairs. I filed a claim and it has been over a week they lied and told me someone will contact me in five days.

Accident (ins comp)

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - A Hertz customer caused an accident; contacting Hertz is hard and local offices won't answer; seeks insurer for the claim.

A hertz customer ran into my car. I have tried 14 different # hertz #s either i am hold waiting to talk to some one for over 1 min or they are more interested in renting a car.

Even your local agencies do not answer. I m trying to find out what insurance company covers you accident claims.

HERTZ HAS A ZERO RATING IN CUSTOMER SERICE AT THIS POINT. I am a Hertz customer but at this point I do not think so anymore, if I have to go through all of this to try and get an answer.

  • - Card Benefits needs Estimate of Repair for a hit-and-run rental in Nags Head on Oct 13, 2020; I paid 319.84 after Viking Billing and seek recoupment.

My Card Benefits Company requires a copy of "Estimate of Repair" for damage to rental vehicle sustained by a Hit and Run Driver in Nags Head, NC on October 13, 2020. Could you please forward to me?

After receipt of Collection Letter from Viking Billing Service for Loss Damage Waiver Amount I paid the $319.84. This is what I'm trying to recoup from Card Benefits Company.

Thanks in advance.

User's recommendation: Corporate "Hertz Claim Management" never answered me but seemed to pass off to other companies to handle claims. I resolved my issue my getting Viking Billing Service and Card Benefits Company together. They were exceedingly helpful and prompt. Hertz was unresponsive.
