holy shit! i worked in travel insurance organizing rental cars in case of breakdowns, with hertz as one of our primary partners in some areas, and at least in central europe i didn't see cases like this. That's quite shocking to learn for me!
Hertz had a bunch of bad shit in the news but this one... wow. and the impacts downline on people's lives, all upended for the simple act of renting a car, yikes.
