I have been steering all of my rentals from Hertz to National in the last several months.
When I was with Hertz, I rented quite a bit and put around 350 miles per rental day on the cars/SUVs.
It never really triggered any warning, but I've had co-workers who put on the same number of miles and got "friendly" warning from Hertz.

I'm surprised by that... I used to regularly put 400+ miles a day on cars and not even a word was said to me. The most I ever did I think was 620ish miles on a one-day rental. All of that was at Hertz.

Not at all for any of the Enterprise companies. I permanently rent and frequently drive between NJ and California (before you assume anything, I’m a professional blackjack player and I play at casinos all over the country) . Drive 5-10k miles a month. Never heard a peep. Even when I drove 15000 miles in 2 months on one car, getting it serviced twice, they didn’t bat an eye.
Unlimited mileage and flexibility to have a car wherever I fly to is why I decided to permanently rent. The miles I drive would cost me $1000 a month in depreciation/wear and tear. I pay less than that to rent, sometimes I pay as low as $170 for a month when doing a Florida drive in or out.
