I called them and what happened was the dealer scheduled the bald tires to be replaced the day I picked up my rental but because I came 30 minutes early that day they never got replaced and the dealer forgot to reschedule it. So in their system it showed them as replaced, but they still wanted to charge me. After several phone calls they agreed to drop it because I was like how did yall knowingly rent me a car with tires that needed to be replaced. I was young so I didn't know how bald tires looked like and how dangerous that was.

I think the famous singer Kelly Price had the same claims about Hertz...

[@madisonkai]

That’s where I first heard of this. I’m glad it is getting national attention now. This is scary!

Sound like some kind of stolen vehicle insurance scam!

[@L.W..]

I definitely think the scam that Hertz is running is reporting a car stolen, collect their insurance on it and still rent them out to customer, essentially stealing from both the customer and the insurance company. Smh

[@10cpaul]

Hertz is selling insured company. They write off.

[@roachtoasties]

"Nice company." Just blame their customers for their incompetence. Hertz will then probably use the bankruptcy laws get out of paying damages.

[@gordogordito87]

Hertz lying through their teeth! Caught red handed and still lying!

[@TobyChannel]

lol don’t rent from hertz! Last year my Mercedes got totaled, my insurance paid for a car for hertz, I returned it a week later and months later I keep getting calls about the same car I’ve returned

[@claireconover]

you’re so lucky hertz didn’t call the cops…

[@pozloadescobar]

That's wild dude. You are at risk of collections or a "stolen car" arrest just because they can't do their jobs right. This country is in serious decline

[@SkyLove80.]

2:53 Giiirrrrlll that expression is everything🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@krystald.carter8208]

It was the most natural response i’ve ever given. 😂

[@jaidynicole23]

So sad that the officer told that hertz employee that he had endangered the customers life by not reporting the car as returned. Why should anyone’s life be endangered just for an object. That officer needs to seriously reflect on what matters more; life or property.

[@DarkPesco]

Renting a car from Hertz...hurts!

[@hcbnett]

Supposed to be equal justice for all ! Class action sue Hertz !

[@keithshannon2811]

Something similar happened to me a few months ago, a phone altercation with one of the reps... They threatened to call the cops and report the car stolen even though I was still under contract and paid in full.

[@gladiammgtow4092]

Molotov cocktail on your local Hertz outlet should fix the problem - violence when it comes to powerful corporations is the answer. So a few people dir so what.

[@ExotiqBeautii]

6:05 some of his rentals weren't approved according to Hertz, yet they happily accepted his nearly $2500... smh

[@heathermetz6576]

3:20 “165 customers, falsely arrested, some jailed and Hertz reported their (rented and paid for) vehicles stolen!”

[@krystald.carter8208]

we even paid for (and have not been refunded) in THIS instance. It’s mind boggling!

[@agentorange81]

Renting vehicles that were supposedly stolen ,sounds like an embezzlement scam or similar some insurance fraud ,especially since they claimed bankruptcy

[@owencrutcher493]

That attorney's hair tho! He looks like he just woke up.

[@labelledujour5855]

So now if I am getting any rental you best believe I will take that extra steps to check if my rental have been reported stolen, evil world.

[@michaelmurphy5916]

There needs to be an investigation by the FBI since what was done was nation wide. If it is determined that the CEO and board of directors filed false police reports and committed fraud on a national basis they need to be jailed and a court appointed receiver should be chosen to run the company.

[@doylefoust4802]

Renting someone a car that you had reported three months prior stolen and then turn around and report it stolen again and having someone arrested for it it's false claims false reporting to a law enforcement that is a criminal charge any chanderi one of them should be able to come together and file a class action suit

[@praneethperera7042]

This is also on the cops for not properly doing there job. It’s not that hard to just pull over a vehicle and tell the driver the situation and asked to see a receipt, especially if the driver is complying with your orders and not being a threat. Police do this too often where they take a witness complaint about someone or something and think they’re 100% right.

[@Arcwol]

I will never rent from this car company again. Outrageous! This is corporate malfeasance of the highest order, period. I hope all these people get a huge jury award.

[@TastyGoomba]

used to work for these big rental car companies. its a mess all around. plenty of fraud from the customers (fake DL's/credit cards, etc) and plenty of shenanigans from management. its so busy, they just want whatever is on the lot to get rented, a lot of times things like this get "missed" (oops). usually if the car is not returned on time and is considerably late with no contact from customer there is an internal "repo" dept that will hunt down the car and get it. if that fails, they'll involve the local police.

[@danmiller2177]

The D.A needs to file felony charges on CEO of the company for filing false police reports....

[@user-tw6bj4xx1l]

Really no surprise from this company they were donating a lot of money to try to re-elect Donald Trump and towards his big lie. Of course the company that backs and bad like that is going to be corrupt to the Core

[@Crismodin]

Sounds like Hertz is trying to take the easy way out.

[@jeremywhiteley3021]

Why doesn’t the police go after Hertz? It’s illegal to file a false police report.
