Saving the planet isn't for broke people. This guy learned the hard way.
Wait till they find out they're destroying it much faster 😂
@biglee3816
You forgot the words, "The show of ".
The CZcams censors are so stupid to have deleted my reply as if my opinion of EV supporters' claim of saving the planet was only a show is a worse reply that deserved to be deleted while TheGuruStud's opinion accusing EV supporters of destroy the planet faster instead of saving it is just okay. What's wrong with the CZcams censors?
Except the issue had nothing to do with it being Tesla and EV at all, not to say it was returned fully charged. Hertz could pull the same nonsense with any vehicle.
Well, look at Bill Gates to Hell. He millionare, and he cant save the world, lucky for us or we would have been injected with 10 different substances.
He's lucky he didn't get arrested for having a possible stolen vehicle. It's the Hertz thing to do.
He's lucky that car thieves know there's no value in stealing EVs with their terrible depreciation.
sounds like a personal experience!
@@jayg1438 Are you unaware of what Hertz has a history of doing?
@@Pleasiotic1 It's the internet, you always find one (or a few).
Captain... it is THE ENTERPRISE!!!!
"Do they have a Corvette stingray that runs better with leaded fuel?"

Too right.
😮 no way! Shouldn't that be $27? Thief
CAR RENTAL?
Yeah right we are going to save the planet 🤪 this planet was here long time before humans and will be after us …
Unfortunately it’s not saving the planet because the car itself has done more damage to the environment during manufacturing compared to an ICE vehicle and the electricity that was used more than likely came from a coal or gas power station
I work for a rental company, a smaller one. All our EV'S have gone bar 2 at our largest branch. They were apparently too expensive, deposits too high, too costly to repair and service, low residual values and demand terrible.
I can understand that. If you would rent cars to customers waiting for their EVs to fix then maybe it makes sense.
But regular customers that get dropped at the airport don't want the hassle of trying something new.
E.g. weird signaling on Tesla, getting used to charging spots.
Why buy the evs in the first place?
@@doriangray6985virtue signaling 🙄
@@doriangray6985 The whole climate change, global warming, plastic recycling blah blah blah is a big fat lie....
Only two times I would want to hire a car if I didn't own one, it would be for a long journey or if I was going away on holiday, on both of those occasions the last thing I would want is a laughably slow charging short ranged heap of shit.
Look at all the EV drivers you see sitting in their cars in shit hole carparks stuck on the end of a cable going nowhere.
It's mental behaviour what's going on all around the country.
His first mistake was holidaying in LA!!!
Second mistake was renting an EV.
Ba. Ha
It's gonna take Snake Pliskin to get him out.
I love how corporations will always "do the right thing", but not until the "wrong thing" they did goes VIRAL and cost them $100M's in lost business!! 😖
Which means they've "gotten away with it" enough times that it is cost effective to stonewall people with the rare chance someone has enough time and chutzpah to wait them out.
Let's just say that Hertz found a way to demonstrate just how karma works. lol
Customer: "Why do you charge so much to recharge the EV I rented?!"
Hertz: "Well, we have to pay an employee $15 an hour to sit in it while it charges and make sure it doesn't catch on fire."
😂😂
🤣🤣👍
I think it's now $20 per hour.... Maybe more if the employee has to have a special fire fighting qualification...😁
Someone has to peddle to make the gen set work.
With an additional $50 surcharge for renting the asbestos fireproof suit for the employee to wear while he sits and waits the 8 hours for the thing to charge.
Plus those diesel generators used to charge EV's need fuel as well!
yuck ev rental...sounds shitty to charge a car on vacation....
Hertz really hits a fella where it Hertz.
Yeah, plugging it in at the hotel and leaving everyday without having to ever stop at a gas station sounds like the most horrible vacation eveah!
@@jeffweingrad4658Then leave the hotel to drop it off and find it’s not topped off. Then find a charger close to the drop off and wait to charge at a packed station of other vacationers and people awaiting flights in from loved ones. After finally topping off, drive the distance to the rental agency only to be told it’s not charged enough by the rental agency. Ask me how I know….
@@jeffweingrad4658 What hotels allow their customers to use line power to charge EVs? Not every hotel/motel will allow someone to run an extension cord to charge (and that's assuming the parking situation would allow for it), and not all are equipped with charging stations, and if they are equipped, there's no guarntee they'll be available for use since others might be using them. Needing to leave a car for at minimum 30 minutes, or a maximum of 8-10+ hours (in the right ambient temperature conditions) to get fully charged is a huge inconvenience and added stress to what is suposed to be a delightful and relaxing vacation. Pretending that charging an EV rental is just as hassel free as filling up a tank, or not as burdensome as it's made out to be by some of us, is just being intellectually dishonest. Time is the most precious when on vacation, and even the level 3 fast chargers is a wasted half hour when filling up a tank takes about 5-10 minutes.
@@Eidolon1andOnly Most hotels. And millions of people do it just fine. It's not internet theory. OTOH, going out in the middle of the night to a dodgy gas station to make sure you have enough gas for the next day......
Corporate bullying pressurising customers so they back down.
Remind me which is the company that arrests it's customers again over computer errors, and then thinks it costs almost 300 dollars to put gas in a tesla? Hard to spot a pattern here.
Pressuring customers so they never come back.
@@PruneHub I noticed that Hertz did not even attempt to make this right UNTIL this hit the net and they looked like bloody fools.
One can only wonder just what they thought that 96% full charge when picking up and returning the vehicle meant... not to mention
the $35 charge for skipping the refuel upon return.
I once stayed at a major hotel chain in New Jersey on a business trip. As usual, I scanned the bill at check-out and noticed a $50 charge
for "parking". I informed them that I had flown in for this trip and that a company car had picked me up at the airport and dropped me off
here, thus NO parking involved. They quickly removed the charge but I had to wonder just how many business customers don't look at
their bill on checking out, resulting in free $50 fees for non-existent parking and other "benefits".
@@edb3877 I guarantee you most people don't check their bill. You did good. As for Hertz, it's like they rehired OJ's ghost.
So Hertz have turned out to be very dodgy to do business with.
They're tanking.
Turned out? Open your eyes, they have been dodgy for decades. Countless people have been arrested for “stolen vehicle” reports on Hertz rentals that they had receipts for because Hertz uses dodgy practices.
yeah they are underwater hundreds of millions if not billions, there are huge executive bonuses on the line, they are going to try to F the consumer for as much revenue as possible to make up the difference.
I thought most car hire companies were dodgy, bit like car sales people the price you see is not the price you pay.
They are out of their minds doing this to a customer. The additional reputational damage will cost them significantly more than 300 or so dollars.
Having rented from Hertz in the uk I can tell you customer service is the last thing on their minds.
They are fast tracking to bankruptcy so they can discard the failing company. The mass purchase and resell of EVs was a punch to the gut they will have great difficulty recovering from.
I am not sure how they can damage their reputation any further than they already have. Having hundreds of innocent people arrested for stealing cars they sometimes didn't even rent did that.
@@Pleasiotic1 Equally problematic are municipalities that just take their word for it and so-called free democracies that don't harshly sanction even mildly disrupting the lives of citizens without extreme cause.
@@Sonny_McMacsson No arguments from me.
IMO-Hertz was always one of the most expensive and least customer friendly car rental companies to deal with long before EVs even existed.
Theyre a pain for everyone they interact with where im at
I rented a car in Pheonix AZ and when time to return it needed to fill it up....and found all the gas stations near the airport a couple dollars per gallon higher than anyplace else. I'd never noticed that before but also there were only rental cars filling up at them before returning to avoid the hefty 'refueling fee'. What a scam!!
That's the same the world over - you need to wise up.
looks like hertz is self destructing
Their big corporate brains forgot that the spotlight is still on them, looking for dirt.
Without that recent attention this would have been business as usual with no refund ever getting paid.
I hired a car for business from them and took video evidence of all damage to the car. They foolishly tried it on to charge me for minor body and paint repairs that they carefully pointed out during the return inspection, which I carefully noted and recorded as they did so, but as if by magic their challenge stopped dead in the water when I casually promised to sue them after my evidence was presented in court. The initial staff forgot to note that I had screened the car prior to leaving the site, something I always recommend. The fact that they know if the car has been checked thoroughly with photographic evidence is probably the most disturbing point in the whole experience. Never again will I rent from them
$277 is naturally the correct figure: they will miss one day rent because topping of the battery takes so long.
How long do you think it takes…?
1 day to charge up 4%?
@@Audioremedy0785 For you to get a joke?
@@Audioremedy0785
- several hours trying to find a charger that works,
- an additional several hours standing in a queue waiting for others to charge because its the only nearby working charger
- then another additional hours charging because of the chargers not being able to charge at full rate due to other cars nearby also charging at the same time 😆
Welcome to EV world
@@michaeld5888 joking aside… how long do you guys think it takes? 15 mins on a supercharger is getting you 175 miles. The morons in this comment section seem to think that EVs take days to charge 🤣

It hertz when you get charged that much. 😂
Winner!

Renting an EV really Hertz !!!🤯😡
Lol
A few months ago I returned from a business trip at the airport and the trains where on strike (I prefer a train normally because of the outrageous parking charges at the Berlin Airport). So I decided to rent a car at Sixt. They only had an EV left. By the time they where half way explaining what the ramifications would have been if I would have been foolish enough to sign on the dotted lines, I decided to try my luck with at Europcar. They actually told me that they totally understood that. Luckily Europcar had a petrol car for rent and I was able to reach my home that day.
$277. About the same price, plus tip, at the Miami Grand Prix, for a plate of Nachos, at the Hard Rock Beach Club Deck.
We're doomed as a species.
I love F1, but I can not imagine what it was like trying to get get in and out of Miami that weekend. That is NYC traffic with palm trees. I wanted to go to F1 in Texas until I saw $450 for a seat where you could see only see one turn.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why situation goes south.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
@@Lemmon714_I have a hard time believing that you could only see one turn at an F1 track. Don't they basically label their one straight section of track since the rest is just one turn after the other?
I describe F1as, "Fast cars going slowly around corners"
"We're doomed as a species." Only if we tolerate 💩like this.

Lame. You need a second chance at this comment 😂
rent ev just doesn't ever ever work, the deign of renting a car is fir ease and speed of use . f%^k Hertz
and for the company, the turnaround time should have been a major red flag.
Probably the cost of having someone from Hertz wet a towel and apply it to the cable plugged into the car to speed up (or more correctly, stop the charger from slowing down) the charging rate.
At first I had to check the date, no it wasn’t April 1st, and there are EVangelists genuinely advertising this “life hack” online.
I don’t own an EV, but apparently some chargers derate the amount of power they supply when the cable plugged into your EV gets hot. By applying a wet towel to this cable you can stop this from happening, BUT high voltages and water from a dripping wet towel are probably NOT the best combination if you have plans to hang around and enjoy the planet you claim to be saving!!!
You should be encouraging the virtue signalling twats to do this, not stop them!
"Computer says no" has gone from a funny take on a small annoyance to a frightening glimpse into a rapidly approaching dystopia.
I was checking the girders, on the,...thing
I will not be using Hertz again soon!
Needed to charge the TESLA and the VISA
Witty! 😁
I rented a mystery car from Hertz Brisbane 2 months ago, was told it was going to be a full EV....??? I paid an extra $120 to get a "Real Car". No way I was going to take a EV for a 700 Klm round trip drive....No way was I getting in that waste of space. I paid the extra happily.
And yet somehow, you think that you have won 🤣🤣🤣
@@Audioremedy0785 - Yep I got a Ford Ranger, Absolutely I won. Avis were booked out, this was the last ICE car Hertz had and I wasn't going to walk now was I.
An extra $120 is nothing compared to valuable time lost on the open road, who the hell rents anything that is going to waste so many hours of your leisure time, I guess you are supposed to watch CNN on the screen, as if the pain was not enough already.
@@wave6413 I actually get that EVs are not for everyone. And I think they are probably not the most suitable for hire cars (if people don’t have home charging facilities or may be unfamiliar with charging infrastructure etc). But I think the narrative to twist this into them not being good cars is bonkers. As an everyday car, my EV is exponentially better than my IcE car. I have both but it’s not even close.
@@Audioremedy0785 Why is your EV supposedly so much better and what are you comparing it too?
It's a different drivetrain with more compromises imo.
How's the depreciation going on it?
Headline: Hertz hurts as it bolts from volts.
You hit the nail on the head mate. When you set off on a car trip, do you worry about where you will be able to refuel with petrol? No - these are freaking everywhere and have been for decades. Who wants to rent a vehicle that comes with anxiety before you even start it? Even if you are driving a long distance, maybe with no servo that would normally service that stretch of road, you have the option of putting 20 litres of spare gas in the car. EVs? Screw the hassle.
Are you honestly implying that there are more petrol stations than there are power outlets? You are literally insane.
If the EV is equipped with a trailer hitch, then you can tow a small trailer with a gas or diesel powered generator. Pack a few gallons of fuel with you.. Problem solved... 😂
@@Audioremedy0785 Are you trying to tell us that because there are residential style powerpoints in most places that this is a way that you can charge your EV?
How long does it take doing it this way?
Get a grip.
@@oldbloke204 there are residential PowerPoints as a last resort. I’m actually telling you in reality there are charging stations everywhere. The Tesla network is unbelievable. And the cars are smart enough to tell you where they are when you need them. You guys need to get a grip and develop some sort of basic understanding of how the system works before being critical of it 👍🏻
@@Audioremedy0785 I suppose an EV owner is so entitled that it allows them to burst unto anyone’s home to plug in now…
Maybe they figure that's the cost of having someone stand there and hold the cord while it recharges? 😀
Hope they do not get their hands wet…
Remember the slogan" we try harder" yup giving it to the customers as hard as they can.
That's why it hurts!
At least Hertz didn't have him arrested for vehicle theft!
Yet!
If OJ Simpson was still alive, he would make sure Hertz cut down those charges.
he's slashing prices!

Even EV,s wish they could "refuel" They "charge" but dont tell em that.
As an EV owner, the process and cost of charging is so much better than owning an ICE car. I have both and trust me when I say that the ICE car is an absolute chore in comparison. Why should I have to make a journey to fuel and wait when I can just do it at home and it’s a fraction of of the cost?
@@Audioremedy0785 what ?5 minutes is a chore to you? Wow
@@user-it7lf7kk8m if someone said to you ‘you can take 60 seconds to do something and it costs you £9 or you can take 5 minutes to do something and it costs £80’ which would you choose? That’s literally the decision I face when deciding if I want to refuel my EV or ICE car. I genuinely don’t understand why people who hate EVs think they are winning 🤣
@@Audioremedy0785 a chore 😂 how about using your brain like the rest of us and refill on the way home.. Classic example of cope champ..
@@hobo1704 I’m factoring that in. Having to take my time out of my day to actually go into the petrol station. And wait several minutes idly for my car to fill up. I could just be at home doing things I like to do. So it’s faster, and exponentially cheaper.
Do they have any marketing people left? This will cost them much more than they've made.
Not only Hertz, and not only EVs, I had to hire a car from Brissy last year, if I didn't fill it before returning it they were charging me $5 per litre to fill it !!
Yeah, that’s because they don’t want to run cars back to the servo so they incentivise you to return it full.
There is a servo at the International exit, so it’s easy enough.
Hertz, we thought our name and EV would be electrifying.
-We were wrong.
A Hertz employee actually managed to refuel the Telsa at a gas station in the dark. He never noticed that the gasoline drained onto the ground and finally shut off the pump at $277 dollars. Not wanting to admit his mistake the receipt was added to the Tesla rental charge.
A great man once told me “being stupid is expensive”. 😂
I recently showed up at Hertz to pick up my reserved gas car. Unfortunately, they only has EVs in the lot. I cancelled the reservation on the spot, went to National and got a gas car.
No EVs for me, ever! Not at home, not as a rental. Period. No discussion.
Hertz so bad.
I remember that song "Hertz so good"
It's one thing if you own one, and are used to working with it- but only a loony would rent one!
Hired a Kia EV6 from Sydney airport this week from Europcar. It included free charge on return. $406 for 3 days (full comp insurance) .
Well they have to recoup the fact they lost a day rental and the wages for someone to hang around and wait for it to charge.
@eljay5009 I would think so. But I was using sarcasm to justify the cost. But sarcasm is the lowest form of wit I have been told!🤔
I love how your assumptions here are a) that cars would ordinarily go straight back out again after coming in and b) that when you charge a car, someone has to stand with it. EVs are much more advanced than ice cars and they can charge on their own. they don’t need to be babysat 😂
@Audioremedy0785 great! Thank you for making my day! I will give you a task. Use Google if you wish, but look up the word sarcasm 😉 😄
@@Audioremedy0785 turnaround times and cost of rental assets are crucial to profit margins for a rental company. there is NO EV that charges on it's own, it takes a human to get them to the supercharger queue and plug them when it is their turn, then the human either has to wait or is picked up by another human so they can go back to work. doing this over and over and over takes way more time than the employee taking just 5 minutes to fill the tank of an ice car.
"Skip the pump..." They're even using ICE language. To distance themselves further from EVs.
seems like all critical thinking has gone all out of the window. I am disappointed in humanity, really!
it has been happening for many decades, slowly. But these last 4 years this has accelerated beyond comprehension
Better using "Recharging" than "Refuelling".
Never did like Hertz.....
You mean x loyal hertz customers if the was me
Haha, after watching this video I got a commercial for Enterprise car rental 😂🤣
277 dollars to refuel? Holy sheeitballs!
That's what we get for renting a car that EV angelists say is cheaper to run than an electric car.
Well it can take hours 🤷 sooooo ...
15 to 27 hours on a 3.7kW or 7kW charger which is likely all they have access to.
Yeah I remember a story like this a few weeks ago. Hertz charged any one returning a car under 90% charge a fee... but they used the software to cap it at 90% charge. Making it impossible to return the car charged, even if you charged it up in the Airport parking lot.
And here they are already doing the shady tactics. Imagine taking an electric vehicle to the dealer in the future. Smh just more hoops and BS.
@@Anomize23 Plus with electric cars it can take hours to charge, especially if your "Fast charger" is putting out low numbers. So in the end your faced with either a late fee or a fee for not returning it charged enough.
I can almost guarantee you that this was an administrative error were the operator didn't know how to back out of a mistaken charge and didn't want the error to come to the attention of higher management who were probably needed to authorize the reversal of the charge.
HERTZ… not so good!🤣
Reason 213402 to not buy or rent a EV
What’s your point? The story has nothing to do with it being an EV. It’s just an admin error by Hertz.
Cope
At least Hertz have realised their massive error in ever having bought EV’s in the first instance, for many individuals , the penny has not yet dropped
@@mellarner8253 I know right. Most popular car in the world last year the Tesla model Y. Little do they know how knowledgeable people like you are who have never owned an EV or probably ever been in one. Their years of ownership and experience count for nothing 🤣🤣🤣
@Audioremedy0785 Tesla missed their First Quarter earnings oppsie. EV bubble has burst simp😊😅
I rented a Chevy Bolt EUV from Budget. They have a - pay $1.00 and bring back the car in any state of charge. Since the Bolt is NOT a fast charger I took the deal. I returned the Bolt back with 45% charge with NO extra charge. Make sure BEFORE you leave the car - the service contract is correct or you will have a problem. I did not.
But I thought EVs were so inexpensive to recharge? My Tundra doesn’t even cost 277 for a full tank.
Hertz Go Woke Get Broke!! 🙂🙂
Most rental companies at airports want you to fill up with petrol within 2-3km so how do you do this with an EV to avoid the charge?
I deal with a web hosting company in the USA and almost every month there is a "mistake" that always increases our cost.
Business in the USA is very competitive. I think they make "mistakes" to increase profit margins and hope the customer doesn't notice or complain.
I certainly believe that in all areas. They sure know how to create a negative reputation quickly😂 in the day and age of technology, they are setting themselves up for failure🤡
First to comment WTF !
Nope. I totally beat you. 😂
You clearly have fossil fuel powered comments.
And what a comment it was!
You cannot put a price tag on saving our planet! 🤣
@mortifinkenbine- apparently Hertz can.🤣🤣
This happens to ICE also, i mostly ignore it as my company does not care until I submit a bill.

it would be a good idea when reserving a rental to specify NO EV's.
Thanks!
277Hz... I thought mains operated at 240 Volts 50Hz?
It does. 277 Volts is the equivalent of 240V, for the commercial voltage in the US. Not sure if this is a coincidence, but since the Volts-to-Hertz ratio is what matters for motor compatibility, it fortuitously allows the same motor to work at 1800 RPM on the 277/480V 60Hz system in the US, and 1500 RPM on 230/400V 50 Hz in most of the rest of the world.
The Little Britain reference made me laugh, cheers.
Hertz, our wave will make us sink.
A friend in Cardiff, Wales, said he rented a Tesla and would never do it again. It took forever to charge it and he couldn’t find chargers that were open. At least he didn’t have to pay. He’s a football ref and the club paid for the rental.
Greed knows no limits, especially big corporate greed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣But government is your very bestest friend......
At least Hertz didn't report it stolen...
Yet! 😊
My mom’s friend got a Tesla and now pays more to recharge it than she paid for gas in her suv. Make it make sense.
Ooh, you'll maybe appreciate another recent Hertz experience - I picked up a car from one of their UK sites, and on inspection there was a *hole* in the rear end, with broken tail light cluster right above it. This hole was about 5mm wide and 30mm long. It went right through the bodywork.
However, it wasn't listed on their print-out of existing damage. Lucky I checked before driving off . . .
I don't know if I'll use Hertz again - the previous time I hired a car from them (same location) the 'J' was missing from the Jaguar badge on the boot (again, not listed on the damage report), and I discovered a mouse living under the passenger seat.
It really Hertz renting an EV car.
😂
@@Clyde-2055 👍
It don't take "hours" to charge, I am sure 30 mins at supercharger is enough, and the battery don't have to be 100% when returning, I think 75 or 80% is enough.
People say online that Hertz rule for EV's is 70% or more full battery.
Hertz is known more here in the US for calling the police on customers AFTER they drove off, properly processed, the Hertz lot. Been going on for years. They filed for bankruptcy every time a lawsuit comes in. Steve Lehto has many episodes of Hertz doing this repeatedly.
That Hertz! - - Right in the pocket book :D
Hertz is in a slow death spiral.
I've refused to use Hertz since 1988 because they refused to recognize my valid driver's license. I was in Germany with the USAF and had placed the reservation at the Hertz office ON the US military base for pick up when I arrived at JFK airport in New York city. However, the agent at JFK refused to recognize the driver's licensed issue by the US Government as a valid license! I didn't have an unexpired license from a state and I had not brought my International License issued by the Federal Republic of Germany. Fortunately they accepted my wife's license issued by the last state we had lived in but said I was NOT allowed to drive the car! So she drove us to Staten Island where we were staying with her family. The next day I drove the car to Newark, NJ airport where I rented a car from a different company and returned the first car to Hertz.
Time spent looking for the filler cap and working if they should fill it with petrol or diesel.
I've only ever had contact once with Hertz. I arrived at Glasgow airport late in the evening when my mother had died and I urgently needed a car to get home. Hertz refused to accept my French bank card. I went to Avis who took it with no problem. I've only ever used Avis since then.
After this rip off, I won’t be using Hertz to hire any car from now.
I got a Hertz ad on this video.
During winter in British Columbia Hertz rented me a car with bald tires, I was stopped at a roadside inspection and they impounded the car, Hertz eventually trailered a replacement to me but refused to credit me for the time lost waiting for them (a full day as there was a blizzard) I’ve never rented from them again.
In a way, that surcharge makes sense because the next renter must experience a charging delay.
you should really put the /s at the end of a comment that is sarcasm , most people won't get it otherwise. lol
