How do I get reminded before a Hertz rental car is due back?

  • Late fees get avoided without anyone tracking dates manually
  • Rental receipts stay archived and organized for expense reports

Questions, answered

Will it extend or modify a rental for us?

No. WebRun only tracks the current booking and its return deadline. Extending or changing a rental is done by the renter directly with Hertz.

How early does the reminder go out?

It posts to Slack the same morning a rental is due back, giving the renter time to return it before the late fee window opens.

What happens to the receipt once a rental is returned?

It stays archived in the travel folder rather than being deleted, so the team keeps a record of past rentals for expense reference.
