So maybe not all their fault b ut fed upp all the same. Had to fly my wife and kids back to the UK two weeks ago on a family emergency and at short notice. Booked a hire car through Hertz, rang and agreed a price for all the cover we needed and pre paid to get the best price – some 250GBP for 10 days hire – my wife – admittidley not a seasoned traveller (and after 18 hours travelling alone with three kids) collected the car and signed the collectin form, okay she thought car suits and all that. Today I get a bill today for an additional 400GBP for additional costs, extra insurance, personal liabilty coverm, tyre cover, glass cover the whole flipping heap ,ffs i could insure a car for a whole year for 400pounds.
Now wife more upset and not in good form anyway she says she thought she just signed for what was on the prepaid agreement (that I arranged).. I know its partly my fault for not explaining it all to her, she is annoyed and I’m thinking i should just get onto Hertz and fire a few choice words into them along the lines of misselling and letting them now my general displeasure.
A ny ideas how this will go? Should i take a breath and ring them with calm head on and try to wing my way out of some of the charges, hoping I get through to someone in authority and willing to listen to my predicament? Or should I just go in all guns blazing, knowing that the wife did sign for the extras, that Hertz are in their right to charge me, but at least I will get a chance to vent my spleen at them?
