One tip - if you call the number on the back of any Visa credit card you have, they have pre-negotiated a flat rate of $80 for a tow up to 5 miles: https://usa.visa.com/content/dam/...enefit.pdf
The icing on the cake is how they still charged us for the entire rental period and they charged us for roadside assistance. Over $1,000 for 10 miles of driving. Plus the tow truck that ended up costing $200 out of pocket (which was a bargain)
All they offered us was a coupon for a free day on our next rental. Nothing else. Plus it was almost impossible to find an agent who would respond by voice.
* Your best bet is to blast them in tweets and they will finally get back to you and offer you, while nothing worth while unless you rent often.
However, charging at public chargers is about the same price as gas when you compare equivalent vehicles, i.e. F-150 Lightning to F-150 ecoboost. You're paying just as much and getting less convenience, and that's not an SD.

Also, an employee really sassed a mom with a couple small kids/baby. Fortunately the mom was fine and I'm glad I didn't say anything because THAT employee eventually was our final check person leaving Hertz.
But plan on reserving a Y for the weekend. I have never driven an EV, and I also want to see how my 3 kids get along lined-up in a back row (as opposed to 2 in middle one in back of 3 row)

pee breaks take longer than charging for me. just make sure to charge from low state. charging from like 50% to 90% is much slower than 10% to 50%.

I was surprised that at a small in-town location they had all the Tesla's, a Chevy Bolt EUV, and even a couple Polestars.
However, charging at public chargers is about the same price as gas when you compare equivalent vehicles, i.e. F-150 Lightning to F-150 ecoboost. You're paying just as much and getting less convenience, and that's not an SD.
In a gas car it's mainly what's your MPG in an EV It's what's your battery capacity AND your efficiency. At least that's what it should be. I know that's the first number I look at when looking at buying another EV.
I'd rather have an EV that's more efficient than longer range. Especially one that can charge quickly on DC charging. Usually a level 2 public charger is 6.6kW/h or 7.2kW/h. So having a more efficient EV will get you further down the road when compared to a less efficient EV when charging the same time frame.
and that's where you'll be able to recover your initial costs faster and spend less time charging at public chargers. you won't be as reliant on public charging if you have charging at home.
and it can work for someone who only has a level 1 (120v) charging at home.
It won't fit all use cases but for 90% of rentals it's probably just fine. And the bonus is that if you charge at the hotel or AirBnB then you don't have to stop at a gas station to fill up before returning the car.
