I rented from Hertz just once. Never again. While they didn't report me as stealing a car, they did overcharge me for 2 days.

Every once in a while you hear about a major company that does something that makes them radioactive to customers and they end up collapsing.

Being so screwed up that you falsely report your customers to the cops for grand theft auto is one such case if it ever gets generally known.

They’re one of the most dysfunctional rental agencies around. I’ve stuck with National for business travel and have had few issues.

“Mullet Mark” Fields, the Ford guy who used to commute from Miami to Motown on a corp jet, is running Hertz now.
He’s not very well regarded in the car biz.

If a person has me jailed falsely, I will do whatever I can to see that they also get jailed.

A corporation who jails 160 people falsely, Not sure how you jail a corporation, but at minimum there should be compensation of 3x the value of the car each of those people were falsely accused of stealing.

Yabut were they vaxxed?

You would think this is why the FBI and US Attorneys were created by Congress in the First place, to JAIL Boards of Directors of Corporations for Criminal Conduct??

I fail to see why the State can’t do it though? just wussies I guess or the campaign bribes are too good?...

May it be thus for Hertz.

This may give some ideas to employees that are told they are now mandatory medical experiments—and want to get even instead of getting mad.

Watched this on Steve Lehto’s Youtube Channel many days ago. What a coincidence. It has been many years (more than 10) since I used Hertz and now why I know I head to Budget every time LOL

" Yabut were they vaxxed? "

More importent driving thru Kansas, Colorado, Utah, on I 70 were they masked?

If they were white were they spayed or neutered?

I’m a Lehto fan as well.

If even one person was stopped, arrested, or jailed with a false statement from the company, the individual employee who called the cops or flagged the car as stolen needs to do time. Hertz as a corporation needs to be restricted from EVER having law enforcement retrieve one of their cars.

GMTA Small world. Because of him I will never buy an RV lol

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Could have been worse. Could have sent OJ after you

[ifinnegan]

I read Hertz side of the story and it makes more sense.

[Fledermaus]

Pretty crappy police and prosecutors. Easy to prove where the car is.

[Sequoyah101]

They have cars now?

National or Enterpirse, never Hertz. Remember the OJ commercial, that’s why, that was enough. That was long long ago.

I don’t know if you can short this stock enough.

... when Tolen showed the officers his rental agreement that listed him as an authorized driver.

ALWAYS get a hard copy of the rental agreement. They can still email you the agreement, but that does you no good if you get pulled over. Cancelled a rental from Enterprise because their office printer was broken. I was driving out of state and said “no way” to not having a hard copy of the agreement. It’s the only document that shows you are authorized to be driving their vehicle.
