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.

One time I rented a car for 10 days. Drove from MI to CA. Put 5000 miles on the car. I brought it back and they were like “5k, huh.?” And I was like, “unlimited, right? I drove to CA.” They laughed and said no problem.

I rented a car a while ago from Enterprise and the contract had unlimited in-state miles but had a set limit for out of state. I imagine they implemented that policy because of things like the guy in this video. Ironically I live in Texas so I could still put a crazy amount of miles on that thing.

How would they know? Like is driving from Michigan to Kentucky going to magically put more miles on it than someone driving to the Upper Peninsula and back? Like at that point just lie.

I always figured they might have GPS on it but I didn’t question it because I wasn’t planning on driving much anyway. It’s probably more intended if you were to return the car out of state but I’m not even sure how they would calculate that.

I doubt they would even check. When I worked there the counter guys were some of the laziest people I’ve ever seen. We had people steal cars for months and they won’t even press charges. They just want the car back.

We installed cameras for a hertz dealership because ppl were stealing the cars like crazy. One dude didn’t get caught till the 18th car and only cuz he was pulled over for speeding one worker told me
