^I've always wondered about the "off-road" situations and how they would be handled by Hertz/insurances, given Hertz's own marketing and that of social media influencers it sponsors shows their cars in "off-road" areas (often with said social media influencers posing atop the cars).
And what's the point of renting a Jeep anyway if it can only be used to crawl to the mall? I understand why they do this as a business and in their contracts but it's unfair to consumers. By their language renters technically violate the terms (and thus nullifies insurance etc.) just by taking a short unpaved path to the trailhead at your local state/national park. What about a gravel/dirt pullout on a highway? Is that now off the road?
