The problem with buying from Hertz or any rental car dealership is that many people (myself included) take rental cars on the highway and immediately press the pedal to the floor to see what it can do (or how loud it gets). People have zero incentive to drive rental cars nicely and Hertz has no incentive than to do the bare minimum of maintenance to keep the car on the road. They're gonna wear out faster than a privately owned car.

- EForEndeavour 4y agoReally?! Am I unusual for not being even a little bit tempted to drive like an asshole just because I don't own the car I'm driving and have a damage waiver through my credit card? The worse maintenance a rental agency does, the more likely customers experience problems, never rent from them again, and trash them in reviews. I'd say there's plenty of incentive to do more than the bare minimum of maintenance.
