Wow! That’s obscene considering they have chargers at the lot to recharge the vehicles and the power costs them almost nothing.

The perk should be able to return it on empty, as they can plug them right in at arrival. If Hertz wants to be able to turn the vehicles faster, they can install fast DC chargers at their facilities.

Rentals sometimes charge 10 dollars a gallon if you return it below where you got it.

It's not because they then go to a gas station to refill it. They just rent the car to the next customer with only 3/4 of a tank and hope that second customer returns it full.
