I have a friend who works for "Hack Rent a Car" and the stories he tells are scary. The balding tires, the temporary tags that are replaced every 60 days with a new temporary tag (for 18 months), the squeaky brakes etc. That's not even mentioning the various scams that are pulled on customers. He told me that there is one Neon with a dinged bumper that has been charged to customers so many times the car should be paid off by now.



I rent from Hertz or Avis. End of discussion.

edited to add: He told me that one time his manager told him to stand next to a Taurus with really bad tires and position himself in front of the tire on the front drivers side so that the renters wouldn't notice it until they had driven away.
