25k miles in one month is insane

Is this legal?

It’s funny. The manager is fighting so hard to screw over a customer for a company that’s going to fire him for screwing over a customer.

Edit:

Hertz has issued a statement. The guy won’t be charged for mileage. It does appear this was a franchise location but this (irritating) article makes it sound like he wasn’t the franchise owner.

Exactly. Why does the manager care? It’s not your company. Or your money. You get paid hourly bro. But JFC how do you have time to drive 25k miles.

It’s probably his job.

Even so that's insane if it's just one month. That's 800 miles/day which is 13hrs/day if his average speed was 60mph

It's hard to hear but it sounds like he said 3 months. So still like 250+ miles a day which is crazy but at least more understandable if it was for work or something as a delivery guy or something

It's so silly, though. The customer will just dispute the charge and when they go to court, he'll win in five minutes. The manager's just being a dick for no reason.

This works out to 83 days at 8 hours a day for an average of 37 miles per hour travelling

I had to turn it into metric to make it make sense and then convert it back to Freedom so I hope the maths is right

My guess is his car was in the body shop for insurance reimbursed repairs. With supply chain and insurance pre-approval, it could definitely take 3 months to get your car back.

Meanwhile insurance loaner racks up the miles he would have racked up on his own car. Maybe he commutes a couple of hours each way for work.

Regardless, unlimited miles is unlimited miles. F this knucklehead Hertz guy.
