I once watched a video about exotic car rental business, where they mentioned that if you rent a car and fail to return it, it's technically not theft, but conversion. As a result it's difficult to get the cops involved.
Not sure how Hertz managed to do it.
- kube-system 5y agoIIRC this varies significantly by state.
- extr 5y agoVery interesting. When reading this I was wondering how/why Hertz managed to make this a criminal rather than civil matter. It feels to me like the ideal way to handle it would be indeed treat it as a "conversion". Contract says if you keep it past X date you agree to pay Y price for it, they charge your payment method, that fails, they forward your account to a debt collection agency. Worst case you sell the car at a loss compared to what you paid Hertz and learn a valuable lesson. This is not a violent crime, they have all your details and know who you are already! No need to put out an APB.
