On another post, someone made the point that the vehicle must be fully charged before its returned. When we rent a car, we always find a gas station near the airport to fill up. Charging would add another couple hours to the return process.

“the vehicle must be fully charged before its returned”

If that is in fact the case, hertz should be run out of business for that stupid policy alone.

Rental vehicles are supposed to be cleaned and vacuumed between rentals, why not charge it then?

Putting the burden of recharge on the customer is asinine to say the least.

I rented a Jeep plug-in hybrid in January. When I picked it up, the battery was at 0% and that’s how I returned it. I was surprised the gas engine didn’t keep the battery topped off. The battery usually had enough juice to get the car up to 10 mph at a stop light, then it switched to the gas engine.
