Well Done Tony,

Glad you got a positive response.

I still can't utter the word H*rtz after hiring a car in France when my 748Bip expired 50 kms south of Calais. Was told by the French garage who collected my bike and then hired me the car that I could return it to the Calais Eurotunnel depot. At the end of the 7 day jaunt following my mates on their bikes, I returned the car to the Eurotunnel depot to find no hire car return centres there. Hertz's offices in Calais were not answering, the phone despite it being office hours. My train was due. After much deliberation and yelling at answering machines, I had to board the train and bring my french plated Renault Twingo back with me (I had nowhere to leave the car or the keys).

12 days later and after even more deliberation with Hertz, I arranged to take the car back to Leeds Bradford airport. Cost me £750 on top of my hire.

Hertz wouldn't take responsibility.

Still won't use them now.........
