The last time I needed to rent a car, I seriously considered renting an EV. I find them more pleasant to drive, my usage could have been accomplished on a single charge, and Hertz doesn’t penalize you for returning a discharged EV like they do for returning a gas car on an empty tank, so it would have saved me having to find a gas station near the airport on my way out of town.
But they wanted more than twice as much for a model 3 than any other compact sedan, so I ended up with a gas powered Kia instead.

- dawnerd 3y ago> Hertz doesn’t penalize you for returning a discharged EV like they do for returning a gas car depending on the branch they absolutely do. Many now have requirements you have to return it charged to a certain % or be charged just like gas.
- bhandziuk 3y agoHow much is the fee? It only costs like 7 $ to fully charge.

- repiret 3y agoThat apparently is case in some times and places. But when I was renting a car at YVR in December 2022, their web site said they did not.
