Hertz, and most rental car companies were caught flat footed by the pandemic, holding lots of cars and not doing a lot of business. However, the industry seems to have recovered to levels higher than pre-pandemic, which is surprising to me.

I personally used to use Hertz for rentals on business trips, as we have a good corp. discount with them. However, over the last few years, I've found that I almost never rent a car on a work trip. Immediately post pandemic, rentals were super expensive and it was usually just easier and cheaper to use Uber/Lyft, especially since I don't have to do any expense report paperwork for Uber.
