The publicity from the articles about this situation is the only reason why Hertz corrected the overcharge.
- Alupis 2y agoThat's not true... what publicity? Some random website blog nobody has ever hear about before? The issue was resolved before it even made its way to HN...
- mcphage 2y agoNot to the one linked on HN—not sure why the poster picked that one—but to thedrive.com: > Update May 9, 12:45 p.m. ET: After this story was published, Hertz informed The Drive that its Customer Care team would be "reaching out to Mr. Lee to apologize and will refund this erroneous charge."
- afavour 2y agoThe internet exists beyond the confines of HN. Hertz only adjusted the charge because of the negative publicity online. All of this happened before the post to HN.
