Why does anyone rent from Hertz? I gave up on them about 40 years ago.

I usually rented from Europcar (National back then) in the UK. I was broadsided on Stockley Park Road just down from Holiday Inn one evening. Puegot 505, folded in the middle, not a scratch on me but it spun at least twice and ended up in the median. The little Chevrolet / Vauxhall that hit me had the engine under the car, driver unharmed as well. It could have been nasty. Called Europcar to tell them what happened and they asked if I was OK and did I want them to send me another car? I declined the offer saying I had enough driving for one day, maybe tomorrow. That was the last I heard of it but my back still hurts.

A few years ago I had a car from Enterprise. It was a long term rental for work. 2-3 months. I was a little concerned because I got a little scratch in the right door. Enterprise is really fussy about scratches.

One day I was at a stop light in the right lane. There was a semi in the left lane. When the light turned green, he proceeded to make a right turn from the left lane. I was totally stuck as I saw his trailer coming ever closer.

“He’s gonna take off my mirror.” I thought. Nope. He crushed the entire left side of the car and kept going. Hit and run made everything really easy. Enterprise asked me to have it towed to a body shop and they mat me there with a different car. Nothing more was ever said about it.
