A good outcome

The counter staff were terrible. When he went to debit my card for the balance owing and bond fee, I questioned what he was charging me. I was informed that I didn't have collision waiver insurance. I assured the staff that I did and that it was on my contract. I told him that when I added up the numbers he was giving me that it did not add up to what he was trying to debit the card for. He told me to be more respectful with what I was saying to him. I had merely told him that "when I went to school the numbers you are giving me add up to X, and you are trying to charge me X. He still insisted that I had no insurance. He then went on to suggest that perhaps I should take more care when making travel arrangements and watch what I am doing. The end result was that I did in fact have insurance. This took approximately 1 hr to sort out. I suggested to him in the end that perhaps he should have more respect for the customer and read the paperwork that I had placed in front of him that clearly stated I had insurance.

The car hire company refused to charge the quoted amount but instead charged me 20% more. Firefly helpline was not useful. After 60 minutes they eventually told me to pay the higher amount and said they would refund me later after launching a complaint. Complaint launched and still waiting for the refund.

Having arrived after midnight. Address given and phone number were closed down. Took Uber to go to other terminal. Only to find out that Hertz managed Firefly. This would have been nice to know as there was a lot of mucking around. Plus had to get email with lower price as Hertz we’re going to charge more. Other than that great.

The customer service at the counter of hertz was appalling to say the least by a staff member there when I questioned as to why I’m being charged a thousand dollars as a security deposit although on prior to picking the car I rang up and was told and confirmed it would be $100 when I asked to speak to the manager at the counter a woman by the name of Theresa jumped in to say she was the manager and couldn’t help and not even two minutes later a customer who was picking up a car walked back in complaining about why her vehicle is in an unclean state at the same time another gentleman walked in who worked for hertz and Theresa proceeded to ask him what she should do regarding the customer at desk complaining about the unclean vehicle at the time I knew I was lied to by Theresa that infact she wasn’t the manager on duty and had lied straight to my face and I then confirmed with the gentleman if he could clarify to me who the manager on duty is and proceeded to say it was him when I raised my issue about being lied to and about the security bond he then tells me that I don’t need to take the car if I don’t want the car gees what kind of customer service is that... then I caught Theresa writing nasty notes to the guy who was serving me and the minute she noticed I had picked up on what she was doing took the note flipped it over but it was to late as I had seen it and snapped a pic she was absolutely a horrible person to deal with no customer service whatsoever Even the gentleman that was actually serving me that was and processing my paperwork apologised to me on existing the car park he understood that how unprofessional it was for her to lie to me straight up to my face about her position His customer service was great and professional but felt like he could be intimidated by this Theresa lady I would seriously hate to work with a person of that nature Apart from the customer service received all was great but honestly I don’t think I would book again re herts

Booking platform was awesome love the point system which helps in reducing costs it’s a win win situation for both customer and business

Like: The service and location were great.
