So far Hertz has been berry berry good to me.
But Budget recently offered me a 50% discount on my rental for taking the EV (Genesis) which I did, of course. And then they reneged, of course.
Sad. Organized crime, thy name is car rental.
I am assuming this is semantics and they are bringing the electric vehicles back without fully charging them.
I will cheer when Hertz is out of business.
Buy some gas and a can and before you turn it in open a window and pour the gas in
I would avoid an EV rental in general. This is just another reason.
This would be perfect opportunity for an OJ Simpson commercial.
Have OJ cut the throat of people that don’t recharge their cars.
Hertz has MASSIVE debt on its balance sheet.
its on the edge of bankruptcy, again
I remember when they were a good company
Hertz Finds New Ways to Make the News

Hertz, donut.
Best advice: Stay home.
Second best advice: If you must travel and rent a vehicle, don’t rent from Hertz.
Third Best advice: If you must travel, and must rent a vehicle, and must rent from Hertz, don’t rent an electric vehicle.
How did rental car companies get talked into buying fleets of electric vehicles?
My friend called me last week. She and her creepy husband are adamant about their electric car. She won’t take long trips in it but she says she likes it
She dropped the husband off at the airport, went to the charging station he mapped out and it was a station that takes a very long time to charge so she goes off looking for a different station finds it and everything is great
Except the creepy husband should have charged it for her
I said the rentals are dumping this inventory
When someone like her who knows has trouble why would I want to be searching like this outside Newark airport. Wandering around Bayonne NJ looking for a charge
No
This whole thing is stupid
Not to mention the slave cobalt mines or how much fuel it takes to generate the electricity
These are just bugs that need to get worked out of the system. What I don’t understand is why the customer can’t just charge back the rental entirely, or at least the excess fuel charge. Sounds like the credit card issuer has some issues with customer service along with the whole Hertz/fuel thing.
I bought my wife’s 2018 Toyota Avalon from Hertz (1 year old, 23K miles, $20,000). One of the best car purchases I have ever made.
