Hertz was getting better after they rolled out Ultimate Choice and actually began marketing that they had their "best fleet ever". This was in 2019 and early 2020. It wasn't as good as National but it was getting pretty decent. Then they went bankrupt and now their cars are consistently trash. The few times I've rented with them over the last couple years to burn points, the cars had serious wear and tear. And it seems like every time I peek at a Hertz lot walking by, it's all base trim Hyundais and Toyotas.
