Three days later, I start getting nastygrams about returning the car. Knowing that it's all-too-common Hertz practice to report the car to police as stolen, even when it's sitting on their lot, I started making calls. Eventually they located it - sitting on their lot - and closed out my rental, charging me for three extra days.
Yet Hertz still claiming they can cut out $500 million of costs this year... Stock is on the express train to 0 thanks to their EV misadventure, they lit over $700 million of cash on fire in the 1st quarter.
