Hertz will assess a fee based on the actual cost of relocating the vehicle, up to a maximum of NZD$1,000, plus GST.

Car was fine, no issues. Was a bit confused about drop off (picked up in Hertz spot but was a Dollar rental, not sure where to drop off but figured it out) However when we arrived home found I was charged and extra $25 for fuel. We filled it to full 1km from the airport and have photo proof that the gauge was full. Took about 40 minutes of calling and emailing to try to get this sorted. This was already charged to my credit card without any consultation with me. Still waiting for resolution.

The car was so so good, worthe the money. The qeeq customer service is really not too helpful, would rather they give me the contact info of dollar shop directly and contact them directly right after booking.

I have an issue. When I returned the car the tank is full and I received the confirmation with the on site employee and email. But after three days, we received bill for fuel charge! How to escalate this issue?
