Posts like this require some context. First, there is no evidence renters of Hertz EVs were targeted. In Dec 2022, the Washington Post and other media outlets reported Hertz would pay $168 million to settle hundreds of claims by customers who reported Hertz had falsely reported to authorities vehicles they rented were stolen. Some of these claimants were arrested and jailed. Some of these renters had properly returned the vehicles weeks or months earlier or had never rented from Hertz. Hertz said that “the vast majority of these cases involve renters who were many weeks or even months overdue returning vehicles and who stopped communicating with us well beyond the scheduled due date.” Despite this statement Hertz CEO apologized and implied Hertz would fix the problems which resulted in the claims.Are other rental companies stocking Teslas? Hertz has been under fire for screwing up when someone returns a car, then they report it as stolen and many people have been arrested erroneously. They're getting their butts sued off for doing this to hundreds of people. They continued falsely reporting thefts even after what they were doing was brought to light.
There are hundreds of posts on this, other forums, YouTube, and review sites of people renting Teslas from Hertz and having no problems. Include me. I rented a Model 3 for a one-week check-out. The Model 3 cost me $240.00 total. I paid Supercharging costs which incurred no upsell or added fees. I was pleased with their service and the vehicle. In fact, I'm buying a Model Y as a result of that rental.
