"Late last year, more than 165 Hertz customers sued the company over false
allegations of theft. Multiple plaintiffs claimed they had been stopped by law
enforcement for supposedly having stolen a rental car. In some cases, customers
were jailed for months before criminal charges were dropped. One former Hertz
employee claims this is just how Hertz does business. Rather than go through
the normal collection process, Hertz appears to prefer to let law enforcement
handle it.
The bogus theft allegation problem that’s unique to Hertz dates back to at
least early 2019, but it appears very little has improved since these reports
first started trickling in. The number of plaintiffs in the class action
lawsuit has swelled by another 100 allegedly falsely accused renters."
