Hertz recently started implementing an AI–driven vehicle scanner that scans cars before and after rentals to check for damage and issue associated charges.
My car needed some repair work. Insurance set me up for a rental with Hertz who told me not to pay for bridge tolls with my own car’s transponder. When I take the car back, they tell me I’ll be invoiced later for the tolls. Had 4 toll crossings which ordinarily would come to less than $30 (even less if I had used the transponder).
A month later, the Hertz charges show up: $77 (including ‘processing fee’). Called and complained. They said they’d look into it. Never heard back.
Yeah, never use rental car agency toll payment. Too late for you now, but they treat it the same way they do the gas fill charges. If they do it they’ll double the cost. Use your own toll pass if you have one, add the rental plate to the pass while you’re using it.

Not using them again.

They did something similar to me in Florida, hit me for 400 fucking dollars. I use Avis now.
