Cars with built in phone charging pads
I'm renting a Citroën DS7 and I was a bit shocked when I set my iPhone down on the console space and it began to charge the phone! Maybe I'm out of touch, but I didn't know cars had those yet and certainly not rental cars. Are there any others out that have this feature in the Hertz fleet?

My personal Ford Focus has the feature. It's quite common for rental cars in Europe to be fairly high-end as they don't cost the manufacturers much more to make and help the fleets get better sale prices.

I had an Impala in California about 9 months ago...my phone doesn't support wireless charging but the extra air conditioning made the compartment great for chocolate
