Posted an article a few days ago about a specific Hertz client who was charged exorbitant re-fuel (gasoline) charges for an EV he rented. Turns out he is not alone.

If the lawsuit goes class-action, Hertz is going to have some problems and a “discount on your next rental” isn’t going to cover it.
To: TexasKamaAina
Hertz, man are they a bunch of screwups.
I knew a VP at hertz who was a big part of their EV program.
He died a few weeks ago, and I don’t know if he really knew that he helped ruin that company.

They have to get their money back for the Tesla disaster somehow ,LOL

At least they weren’t arrested for “stealing” the car.
Hertz does that too.

Is this before or after having them falsely arrested for stealing the car they returned?

Recharging is expensive, not just electricity but time
No sympathy from me

It’s bad faith, as not everybody has a charger.
They should charge a reasonable fee for charging the car and consider it as the cost of doing business.

“If the lawsuit goes class-action,”
What lawsuit?
To: TexasKamaAina
I don’t see why anyone rents from Hertz. I walked away from then over the OJ commercials.

I’m going with the standard practice of charging a surcharge of everytime a customer returns a car empty of fuel, or in this case discharged.
All I’m saying is that it would better for Herta to just had a surcharge to charge the vehicle on behalf of the customer. Just keep the surcharge reasonable.
That’s all I was saying.

They are only denying it because they got caught. It’s not an error.
