Re:Hertz sold a bunch of Teslas and it turns out they're all... by chironjit on Thursday May 16, 2024 @06:14PM (#40383961)
Not in the US but bought a second-hand Toyota from a Toyota dealer that I later found out from the service manual was a Hertz rental in its previous life. Its been trouble free for the 8 or so years we've had it (it's now with another family member).

Funny enough, I bought that model because I used to rent it from another company and so I "knew" how the car would be.

So, not saying Hertz is a not a shitty company, but I wouldn't say rental cars aren't a good buy

Same. Our yaris sedan is a fleet model. Currently at 140k mi and shows no signs of stopping. Recently saw a review from a Toyota mechanic that they are hidden gems (in terms of maintenance). I'm terms of features, it has pretty much none. Fewer things to break down.
