I submit that most of the issues with rental cars are not Hertz' fault but the way that previous renters treat them. High mileage tends to mean stains on the upholstery, tears, bits of trim damaged etc, and I very much doubt that any of these are caused by Hertz themselves.

As long as a car has been serviced properly, and has tyres with a decent amount of tread of them, I really don't see the issue that seems to get many people very agitated. Of course, if there are problems with the car, even if it is just a spurious illuminated warning light, that's different...... but those sort of gremlins can and do occur at any mileage as well.
