[easyrider]

In the mail today is a notice that Hertz owes me $1092 for 42 days of car rental in Mexico because of a class action settlement. I'm just now looking into this and wondered if any of you recieved this too.

Received 2 Postcards about this lawsuit.

Same here. Both are 21 day rentals. I think one is Thrifty and one is Hertz. I just started researching this. It looks legit but we have until Nov 23 2021.

Here is the link from the post card.

• The notice concerns a bankruptcy proceeding involving the companies the Hertz Corporation and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (collectively “Hertz DTAG”), which offered rental cars for pick up in Mexico.
• This class action settlement will resolve a lawsuit against Hertz DTAG and will affect all persons who, in the U.S., reserved online and rented a Hertz, Dollar, or Thrifty rental car with pick up in Mexico between May 24, 2009 and December 31, 2018 (the “Class”).
• In 2013, litigation was filed against Hertz DTAG and Hotwire, Inc. (“Hotwire”) on behalf of the Class. The lawsuit alleged that Hertz DTAG advertised the cost of renting a car in Mexico without advising customers of alleged mandatory insurance for Mexico-based rentals. The lawsuit also alleged that customers were charged an inflated exchange rate when converting U.S. dollars to the Mexican peso. Hertz DTAG denies the allegations and denies all liability.
• After Hertz DTAG filed for bankruptcy on May 22, 2020, the purchaser who started and pursued the lawsuit (“Plaintiff”) filed a claim in the bankruptcy case on behalf of a purported class.
• An agreement has been reached between the Plaintiff and Hertz DTAG. It allows a general unsecured nonpriority claim against The Hertz Corporation in the aggregate amount of $20,000,000 to the class.
• Each Class member who files a claim will receive a refund of $26 per day for his or her completed Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty car rental in Mexico between May 24, 2009 and December 31, 2018 (the “Class Period”). The claim must be verified by rental records produced by Hertz DTAG and its Mexican licensees during the course of the litigation. If fewer claims are submitted than expected, the refunded amount for each day’s rental may be more than $26. If more claims are submitted than expected, the refunded amount for each day’s rental may be less than $26.
• Plaintiff and his lawyers who brought the lawsuit will ask the Court to reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and bankruptcy-related financial advisor fees of approximately $8,739,661.73, and $75,000 in incentive awards. These amounts will be paid out of the $20 million to be distributed to the Class.

We received 3 postcards. We filled them out and sent them back. One was for 46 days, one for 23 days and one for 9 days. Hey whatever we get is found money!

I hope you didn't have to provide too much personal information. You have to worry about SCAMS and identity theft when dealing with anyone (especially from a foreign Country).

We were notified too due to a week's rental in Cabo. DH did a little checking against our rental receipt and everything matched to the postcard. He sent it back. There wasn't any more info we had to provide than what was already in the postcard or what refund org'n already had.

I used the link at the website and requested a check last Friday. Maybe something comes of it , maybe not. We will see.

On the postcards they sent they have a claim id and confirmation code that can be mailed in via the pre-paid postcard. If you use the postcard your name , email address , user name and phone number are noticeable depending on the payment option. Online you input the claim id and confirmation code and all your information comes up. You atest to a couple of questions and submit the claim. Pretty easy.

I just submitted mine. $312. Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

Here is an update. We actually received the settlement yesterday more than $1200!!! I was shocked.

 

[buzglyd]

I got $187 sent to my PayPal account yesterday.

 

[easyrider]

Have my fingers crossed and still waiting for a check. I probably should have used paypal.

Mine was sent to PayPal too! It was about $13 a day not $26.

 

[easyrider]

The check arrived. Not quite $800 but enough for a mf. I had thought it would have been over $1000 but I'm fine with the $792.

I filled out the form a few months ago and just got a check for $193 related to a couple of short rentals a few years ago.

We got a check too last week for $113 for a one week rental. Nice.
