How about all the customers that Hertz says stole there cars that they paid to rent then has those customers arrested

Hertz has been morally bankrupt for years. Every time I've rented with them, they've charged me for gas afterwards despite a full tank. They knew it wasn't worth me calling their customer service 8 times over $30.

This is a classic example of what you get when it’s more about rewarding already exceedingly wealthy executives rather than doing what’s best for the company or even the average Joe. Hertz has long been one of the least competitive car rental companies on the planet resulting in serious losses yet they still don’t seem to get it. Hertz deserves to fail and their senior management of the week should, but won’t, fail with them. America needs more accountability instead of selfish greedy corporate executives who only care about further expanding their own already massive personal wealth.

Literally used Hertz once because the insurance company had to go through them after an accident. Everytime I travel or need extra room, it's either Enterprise, or U-Haul, with a home depot truck leased for a day here or there.

Since I left them the two rentals I used always gave free upgrades when short of the type I rented. They even gave me free upgrades just for being a good customer.

HERTZ has been a crap company for over 10 years. They once claimed my friend's car flew in the air at the speed of 3 mph to land on top of one of their vehicles. True story.

Enterprise really is the best for a reason... i have two kids and when my car was in the shop (QX60) my insurance gave me a sentra... don't get me wrong it is a rental if it was just for me fine... but my 3 row SUV was outta commission! The manager over at the Enterprise I visited was confused my insurance company would set me up with a small car. He gave us a murano and didn't charge us the difference in fee. That is why Enterprise is king!

Their spin off-HERC has done very well, the fleet and construction rental business is booming.

Only old school and some companies rent vehicles from these rentals nowadays there is so many online rentals with vehicles all around the suburbs and you can drop it off any where . Rental car day is over after 100 years don't be surprised.

As a regular business traveler for 30+ years, I almost never used Hertz, because they consistently had the highest rates. Following the bankruptcy, they became very competitive on pricing, and they quickly became my go-to rental company. Now, they have reverted to top-of-the-market pricing, so I have dropped them again. Over the years, I have used every rental company, and I find no significant difference between them. Like gasoline, it is simply a commodity, and I will take the lowest price available.

I do not see Uber/Lyft as competitors, but allied. With more alternatives, owning a car makes less and less sense, and thus create a lot of opportunities for private car renters like Hertz. As someone who took that path, I can say I never rented car as much as before. Before, I would only rent if I take the planes, and for short travel destination, I would even ditch the plane and drive to there. As for Turo, well if you like to book expensive 12 years old Corolla, go for it.

Not related : do you know what that place is at 3:07 where it says Europe? 🙏

First time I heard of Hertz was in a Ross vlog Creations video. Enterprise is the brand I think of.

I was in Aruba, and Hertz was definitely all over the place. and yes some of the cars are a bit old.

Some company's fell hard, and no rise since march 20... I keep short position in dal, luv, rcl. i never buy on bottom😣

Hertz should keep their fleet and pivot into the online space. Offer on demand, cheap car rentals, for the day through technology innovations just like turo

I am a 39 year old male living in Tennessee and I think I have only rented a car 10 times in my life. I think that if you want to attract car renters, focus on vacationers. Rent exciting cars. Most rental cars are extremely boring. For many families vacations are a time to splurge and are willing to spend a little more for something that adds excitement to their vacation. Another focus could be those insurance company that offer car rentals after accidents. Other actions would include shorter than 1 day rentals. Some people need to rent larger vehicle to transport large purchases like furniture, lumber, maybe a grill. This is a huge under served market! I can't tell you how many people have asked me to help them move something because they don't have a truck. Think about the mattress on top of a sedan, everyone has seen it.

new pricing model made them more expensive than competitors. They took on additional debt to grow business again, but then the pandemic hit, and they were not able to service their debt.
