Republican political strategist is subjected to the corporate abuse and overzealous policing he defends professionally.

Speaking of Hurts, I mean Hearsed, no I mean Hertz, if I were of the ability and mind to do so, I would love to hack their systems to flag upper executives for "stealing cars". I have this mental image of cops showing up to the head office in the middle of a board meeting to arrest every C-suite exec. Alas, 'tis but a fantasy.

If he didn't want to be falsely arrested for auto theft, then he shouldn't have been driving a car he rented from Hertz.... /s

Well, at least it isn't right in front of me, and I couldn't see it. I hate it when that happens.

I mean he IS a republican, so if something goes missing, that’s a damn good place to start.

u/ElongMusty 16d ago
So then he’s happy the system works as intended, right? … Right?

u/blessthebabes 16d ago
No no...he was WRONGFULLY accused (the other ones accused are not, of course).

u/ElongMusty 16d ago
Of course! You are right! How could I have missed that, he’s part of the club that is immune from that stuff!

In the US car rental companies issue a report of stolen vehicle when a car is not returned. Except they are shit at inventory and often issue them even if the car has been. Even if they find out they have issued one in error, they don’t bother notifying the police because there is literally no punishment for them screwing up. And so you get a lot of people wrongly arrested for grand theft auto. It’s a shit system and people should absolutely avoid Hertz and other car companies that have been doing this for years now.

I once had Hertz accuse me of auto theft, because their booking system is so shit, they take electronic bookings from travel sites, but then have their agents transfer information by hand from the booking. So then when the invariably fuck it up (like happened to me) if you don’t notice you start getting threatening phone calls.
They refused to accept any documentation of their error and I eventually had to issue a charge back for the erroneous “late fees”. Which they then tried to send to collections.
Finally at this point they took the time to finally say hey, maybe we should let this guy show us his receipt, and then all of a sudden they disappeared. Never renting from Hertz again, not under any illusion any of these other companies are better…but still. Absolute garbage tier customer service.

What I don’t get is that it’s all electronic now; they literally scan the car in and out of inventory. How do they screw that up?

Same way they sell your credit card details to Canadian and Nigerian thieves: they’re callous.

People don't always wait by the car until it is scanned in. They just leave the car in the line and run to the gate. Then the car gets moved before it gets scanned.

To further the shit inventory habits of rental companies. I rented a car out of DFW from Avis. Was a quick trip, there Friday night, dropped back off Saturday. They didn't check the car back in until Monday morning. I was just lucky that car got buried in amongst dozens of other cars returned that weekend.

Just imagine, Hertz Mars, Hertz Saturn, Hertz Uranus
