Question :)

In December I had a small issue when returning a car at Hertz e.g. they said I made a big dent on the trunk when in reality there was a dent already there and in fact was marked (albeit with the incorrect symbol) on the paper they give you when taking the car.

They called me a week or so after the rental to fight with me but after I explained to them the error and how their attendant agreed that they put down the wrong symbol, they closed the open rental contract and processed the final regular charge as they should.

Any reason to suspect I'll have trouble with the same branch on my upcoming rental, is there anything they could do retroactively? to play it safe should I just use a different branch?

TIA

saw this on kayak.com
pickup/do Jerusalem mazda 6
33$ a day [or 29$ with continental code ]
if course it doesn't include wdc but still the price seems to be dirt cheap, is there anything else hidden here?

Don't know what you mean by "wdc", but if you mean before insurance, the regular every day "base" rate is $32

CDW+TP insruance can be $20-30 add per day, so total per day is at least $53+, You can do a lot better...

I'm not in Israel - but I would say you should walk around the car with the guy when he's marking down the dents. Make sure he marks down every single scratch and dent.

I went with someone to rent a car and the car they wanted to give him looked like it just went mud sliding.  The renter told the agent that he's not taking the car unless they take it for a carwash. He didn't care that it was dirty, its just that you can't possibly see all the dents and scratches when the car is very dirty.

My point is that if they don't mark down the dents when you take the car, they will blame everything on you. You shouldn't hesitate to point out all the scratches.

correct, however can a rental agency charge you additional fee/payment for damages on a previous rental that they claim are your responsibility 2-3 months down the road after the original rental agreement has been closed, the charge processed and credit card statement paid?

I think there's no reason for you to worry at all,
once they closed the contract the system probably wouldn't bring it up again,
even if you would'v made a dispute with your cc company,I don't think there's a problem going back to that branch, my friend made a chargeback and didn't have any issues,
if that doesn't put you at ease, I would call up that branch innocently, give them the contract no. and ask them you just wanna make sure its paid and current, they'll probably tell you its closed,

p.s. sorry for the bump

No prob, thx! I spoke with them today about a new reservation and perhaps if G-d forbid the system had something flagged they would have brought up the issue...once the charge appears on the CC statement, the rental agreement is considered closed AFAIK.

From a legal perspective, they can't charge a CC # on a past rental agreement months later without a signature can they?

PSA:

The Hertz romema branch today wouldn't accept my Citi AA Visa Signature Platinum card car rental insurance even though I had a letter to prove that I am covered in Israel. They claimed that they only recognize the coverage when the benefit administrator is Visa or the CC company themselves but not in my case were a 3rd party administrates the benefit such as 'Chubb Insurance' which covers my particular card.

Was this just a sneaky move to make an extra $50, or have others experienced this as well? I ended paying for the insurance though I put it on a Amex Plat so perhaps I can file a complaint with them or Hertz?
