Why would anyone rent from a company that was convicted of persecuting their own customers because of the incompetence of the company?

Hertz fucked up repeatedly and people lost their jobs, were imprisoned and had their credit scores wrecked because Hertz couldn't find it's own cars on it's own lots.

Why anyone would give them a fucking nickel is beyond me

    holy shit! i worked in travel insurance organizing rental cars in case of breakdowns, with hertz as one of our primary partners in some areas, and at least in central europe i didn't see cases like this. That's quite shocking to learn for me!
