It may ultimately be rejected of course, but that isn't the point. The reason for the charge-back is to force open a channel of communication with Hertz. Hertz is notoriously uncooperative and difficult to deal with. No company has carte blanche to just charge whatever they feel like to a customer's credit card without some accountability -- even if it's just accountability to process. A charge-back is a customer's way of saying "prove to me this charge is accurate and approved". This should force Hertz to produce any previously unprovided documentation so the insurance claim can be processed.
