(Pre-Covid I remember some larger FBOs having Hertz employees at a Hertz counter inside the FBO but I haven't seen any of these recently)

If you're hitting a brick wall with Hertz, call the FBO instead. FBOs are at least interested in customer service as opposed to Hertz who seems to actively hate its customers. You can certainly prove that you departed YIP on tail number N##### on date X at time Y.

Since the FBO has a contact at the local Hertz station that delivers cars and RAs from their main local lot to the FBO and back again, the FBO's reception desk/customer service staff all know how to get in touch with the local Hertz station. I'd work that angle. It will be a lot more fruitful than the Hertz run-around.

Thanks for this excellent advice. After I posted I got on the Hertz chat function and the person I communicated with actually asked for information such as flight times and tail number of the plane. I have multiple people who were with me on the plane, including three priests!

The chat person promised to get back to me, we'll see. In the meantime, I will contact the FBO as suggested.

Thanks again.

Casimir.
