Broken down Car, I become the service provider. ***

<p>Renting the car from Hertz was totally frustrating, and then after follwing the channels for compaintes, When I called this morning I was told that "we are sorry we have LOTS to deal with",</p> <p> </p> <p>The two different staff memebers I dealt with were VERY professional, and that engagement was fantastic. </p> <p> </p> <p>It is the acutual business that I have a problem with!</p> <p> </p> <p>And this is what transpired:</p> <p>After I collected my car. <br />+-09h30: I parked the car at my client in Potchefstroom. <br />+-12h30: I came out of the meeting the car was DEAD. It would not run start NOR would it jump start.<br />+-13h00 - I was supposed to leave Potchefstroom - and was expected back in the office in JHB at 15h30.<br />+-13h30 - I called Hertz Lanseria office<br />+-13h45 - I received a call from Hertz Klerksdorp about the car<br />+- 15h00 - Klerksdorp Hertz representative arrives to review the car<br />+- 16h30 - The car was deemed unable to start (and nobody was sure why)<br />+- 16h30 Then I was required to take the Hertz representative BACK TO Klerksdorp. This is a 45 KM trip in the WRONG direction, that took about an hour</p> <p>I then had to come BACK from Klerksdorp to JHB. Because it was already dark and potential Traffic at that time, I stopped first for a meal.</p> <p>I left Klerksdorp about 18h00.<br />Travelled back in the dark on the N12 (which is not a safe road)</p> <p>I arrived back at Lanseria about 21h00</p> <p> </p> <p>I lost 5 hours of my time because of this disaster. And, of course, I am still expected to pay for the use of the car.</p>
