So hertz can report your car stolen after you return it, landing you in jail?

Renting a car comes with extra worry, even taking that extreme case out of consideration.

You’re driving around a break in magnet, advertising that it contains suitcases.

It comes with highly restricted rules - technically it violates Avis’s rental agreement to pull off onto a dirt median even if you have a flat tire or ever need to drive on a dirt parking lot - strictly anything unpaved like a national park campground site’s parking.

And you’ll reserve one particular car type, who knows what they’ll actually give you. And the tires may be sketchy too (had that)

And they’re be trying ti upsell you all sorts of horrible deals when you reserve and then pick up
