I did find that I could go on their website and enter my name and contract number to pull up the receipt. No problems on the receipt but I did see that they credited me $1.20 which looks like it was for gas, since it says I returned it with 15.4 gallons and it had 15.0 gallons when I took it out. I am glad that they took into account that it was not quite full when I picked it up, but I wonder how they know? They must be connecting directly to the vehicle computer when they take it into the back to service it, which would mean they had not really checked it in yet when they checked it in?
I watched my return a couple of weeks ago. On new cars they do have an electronic gizmo that connects to the car, grabs the info and adds to the return gadget. (This was on a 2023 Malibu from Hertz).
