Hertz rental car problem - advice please
Discussion
Good evening/morning all! I'm in sunny Southern California at the moment and am almost half way through a 2 week stay. We arrived last Sunday and promptly picked up our rental car from LAX. I prepaid for two weeks through auto Europe and we aren't due to take the car back until a week Tuesday. On Tuesday we drove 300 miles faultlessly to vegas and parked the car up in a very hot car park at the cosmopolitan until yesterday morning. I got in it yesterday and turned it on with no problems but the engine light came on straight away. It drove fun but the light stayed on and has remained on since. Is the best thing for me to do to just take it back to hertz at LAX now we are back in California and just let them change it for another car? Or just keep driving it for the remainder of our trip? As I said it's already paid for so don't see why I would incur anymore charges if there is an issue with their car? Any feedback appreciated!
Thanks for the help guys! Car is a 2013 mazda cox-5 with almost 60k miles! Whilst you mention the fuel filler cap, I now remember that when I filled it up first in vegas after 400 miles the fuel filler cap was loose so this was probably the issue but doesn't seem the engine light will reset now without plugging it in so I'm just going to take it back to LAX this morning
Well I'm back home now! But I did ring Hertz and they seriously couldn't care less. Told me to just keep driving it and it would probably go off if I undo and re-do the fuel cap (which it did). I won't be using Hertz again as there fleet does seem a bit aged. I work in the trade and know Hertz UK very rarely keep there cars more than a year. In the US I was offered either a 2012MY Rav 4 or a 2013MY CX-5 which I opted for
