On Saturday 6/8, I hit a deer on 37 near 144. Killed the deer, injured my 2015 F150. The truck was drivable but sustained several thousand dollars damage. Went through all the process with State Farm. Pics, initial claim payment, appointment for this morning at Skillman's Greenwood Collision Center. I have rental car coverage and State Farm claims had Hertz call me last week. The Hertz reservation center guy gave me a reservation number and told me to call about an hour before I need the vehicle and they would pick me up. So, I called Hertz Greenwood this morning and the less than cordial guy who answered the phone told me even though they had my reservation on file, they need 24-48 hour notice and they were not about to pick me up anywhere. They might be able to get me a vehicle this afternoon. Called State Farm back and requested to deal with Enterprise which is right across the street from Skillman's shop. They canceled the Hertz reservation, apologized, and called Enterprise for me. Took the truck to Skillman's about 11:00 and 20 minutes later I had been picked up and was on way home with the rental.
Cliff Notes version warnings:
1. Don't hit a deer. They'll mess up your truck.
2. Don't deal with Hertz. They'll not be good to you.
