I purchased a 2018 kia soul from Hertz. I have owned it for 1.5 years and I LOVE IT! No problems and...the KBB value is still higher than what I paid!! This is the only way to go!!!
I bought a 2018 corolla (35k miles) from them for 14.8 k (tax/paperwork included) about a week ago. Everything seems perfectly fine, it came in a bit dirty from the inside so I rented out a car detailer and got it all cleaned in about an hour. Feels like I couldn’t have done much better.
I bought the same car with hertz too about the same price year 2020 there is a bit of scratches exterior but its not affecting the inside, I decided to gone for it. 2 years from 2020 to today car still running good. I do all the maintenance for it so I saved a bit.
I checked into Hertz and they let you rent it for three days before you buy. This gives you lots of time to get an inspection. Most of them have black interiors.
When i purchased my nissan versa was valued at 11.700 to 12800 every single dealer i went to with the same 46k miles i got it from hertz for $9.100 took it to nissan for a check up and that car was as neat as new. The car was not a rent to own but a certified pre own. With rent to own you had to check it in a bodyshop because they take the car from the active fleet. Certified preown came with new breaks, new tires oil and filter changed, same with engine filter. I pay $177 dollars per month for my car and is new as any other
Used to work for AVIS rental and say for cerain that the cars are tried to be maintained as good as possible. As for scheduled services and oil changes the cars are tracked by milage driven. At certain points the car is blocked by computer (can not be rented) untill maintenance is done. What is terrible are the people that rent the cars. Customers have no qualms using a car for something it was not intended for. They will take a ordinary car and go 4 wheeling etc. Had a car returned after the customer used it to transport cow manure for her garden. Seen a lot. Buyer Beware..
As a former Enterprise employee, I can attest to what Ray said about the cream of the crop vehicles being sold in-house and the not so great being sent off the the auction. I can also say that premium cars tended to be driven like crap as the clientele at our branch would never be able to actually buy a car of that caliber but could scrape together enough coin to rent one for a weekend. The condition those cars back in on a Monday morning would make a sailor blush. Interestingly, we never went after the customer regardless on how bad the inside was trashed.
I bought my current car through the Hertz Rent2Buy program and loved the process of test driving cars in advance without having to rent/pay for them. Prior to purchasing, I had a mechanic review it and did research. It's been 7 years since I bought my car through Hertz's Rent2buy program and it's still going strong. Due to my mileage (23,362), I still had the company's warranty until 60,000. I LOVED this program/process.
@@salvell Hi, I put down $2,000 on the car in August 2016 (so, nearly 7 years ago). Also, at the time, if a person signed up for Hertz's gold membership (to rent cars), $300 was subtracted from the total.
@@ethandong1313 I wouldn't buy from either one. Both of them uses the stupid kelly blue book which is a joke. If I were to be force to purchase a used car I rather buy it from carvana.
I’m chiming in 3 years later. I mean its gotten a lot better, however you’d have to go after the base model if you want a decent deal. Higher trims are so expensive you’re better off buying new.
Idea for future video!!!... Can you give us any insight on the best way to order a new vehicle through a local dealer? ( when a specific model trim or specification isn't locally common) What sort of negotiation to expect? Can it be purchased for a small profit over invoice? ($250-$350)? Do's and don'ts? Also if ordered through dealer, what to expect with settling price at time of order or time of delivery. (variables of manufacturer incentives or rebates at time of order or delivery) Do dealers have any incentive to place a custom order vs convincing you to buy from current stock on hand? Any other advice would be appreciated on the subject! Love the channel and appreciate all the insight and knowledge on the little things that can add up to a successful experience in car buying!
Couple of additional notes. I have bought four cars from HCS. One purchased just a month ago. 1. You get only one key fob. With smart keys that is a BIG deal. 2. You will likely not get floor mats. Add another $200. 3. Hertz apparently has in house accident repair. Carfax may be useless. My vehicle has clean Carfax but had obviously had some (minor) body damage which has been repaired. Paint over spray visible inside engine compartment. Inspect your vehicle very carefully. Having said this, I am still a fan. Dealer was asking $4k more for exact model, year, mileage. That car may well have been from Hertz, many used cars at dealers are from Hertz.
I had a good experience with Hertz Car Sales but that was back in 2012 when I purchased a 2009 Mazda 5. It was in very good condition and had low miles (can't remember how many -- about 25k). Still have and use the car as my daily driver. I have 183k miles but had to replace the transmission at about 120k.
Great video. I’ve been looking at buying a used Tesla Model 3 from Hertz. It’s in a different state, so it’s a few hours from home. Not sure if I should buy yet.
I bought from hertz a Corolla with 32 thousand miles now after 6 years with 240, 000 miles still runs good. Why the hell do I need to buy from dealers ? What can it go wrong with 32thousand miles? I hope all the dealers go bankrupt!
That warranty is usually NO Good anyway because it falls in line within the factory powertrain warranty. So they're not giving you anything. The Kia - Hyundai powertrain isn't transferrable but if you do the math you'll still be under bumper to bumper. Ford n Chevy still using 5/60k on powertrain.
I’ve purchased my 16 versa with 40,000 miles on it, I now have 180, and still going, I’m very happy with my purchase and may buy another show the RAV4 soon
Keep in mind Hertz is in Chapter 11 which is bankruptcy PROTECTION so the sky is far from falling (and warranties are far from worthless). If/when they ever get anywhere near Chapter 7 is when I would run the other way unless there was exceptional value or fire-sale pricing.
Many of the vehicles that I have seen at the Scottsdale Hertz Car Sales lot are 2020s with under 20k miles. They are not 2017s with 60k miles that you might have seen a year ago.
@@yungactivist I rented an E Class in a small city for a weekend and the transmission sounded like it had rocks grinding in there, the warning light was on. We had to drive it because they didn't have anymore rentals available. They told us to keep driving it. I wonder what happened to that car?
Professional mechanics have warned me that Hertz only do maintenance once a year even though the majority of their vehicles are driven 15,000 miles or more per year. That means 1 oil change for approximately 15,000. They but a whole lot of wear and tear on their new vehicles and then they try to sell.
In the process of buying a 4runner from AVIS. The price is not amazing, but good, about $2,000 less than comparable cars in this market, and there's a lot of things to like about buying from them. 4runners are some of the most reliable cars ever built, so I am not as concerned about the rental history of the car, as it has only 22k miles on it. I'm not sure how I'd feel about buying a Ford Focus or a Chevy Impala. The good things are that the car is very recent, about 18 months old, the purchase process is straightforward and easy, and best of all, I can rent the car at the reduced rate for two days so I can give it a very thorough check.
Hertz will also allow you to test drive the car for three days. If you buy the car, the rental is free. You can find a lot of problems in three days...
Thank g-d for zack. He keeps everything on track. Dad is lost with all this internet stuff. Talk too the camera! im an old car guy also. Been on both sides of the table hundreds of times. He is a true expert. Shalom
I doubt that Hertz offers a 12 month or 12k bumper to bumper warranty. I'm sure it's probably 'limited' which means it's basically no coverage.... The bottom line is this: If you're buying a rental car that's out of it's factory warranty, then good luck to you... buyer beware.
If the car rental companies don't buy as many new cars as they usually buy, it will produce another shortage of used cars twelve to eighteen months from now.
With a car rental company in a cash crunch, the first thing to cut back on (I feel) would be routine maintainance. "instead of 5,000 mile oil changes, wait until 8 or 10,000 miles." "After all, future issues will not be OUR problem!"
Newer cars tend to hold their maintainability pretty well these days. I have two 2017 corollas with different maintenance schedules. One is changed every 5,000 miles, and the other is changed every 10,000 miles. Both average about 12,000 miles per year and both have worked just fine. Only thing failing is the clear-coat on the 5,000 change corolla. Currently both are roughly at 236,000 miles on odometers.
from my rental experience with hertz, I highly doubt the condition of their used car for sale. I once rented a challenger from Hertz, drove around 200 miles then the oil change warning showed up. So I called Hertz and asked what I should do. The agent just told me to reset the maintenance warning and keep driving. So I did what they told me then drove for another 800 miles before returned the car. Can't imagine how they take care of cars' maintenance. But definetely won't consider buying from Hertz.
I was just at a couple of Hertz sales places last week, one in Phoenix, and the other in Scottsdale, and I was NOT liking what they had to offer. In my opinion, they should have not been there (granted not ALL were in bad shape), but instead should be shipped off to auction. They were full of dings, scratches and dents, cracked windshields, weather stripping ripped away and loose hanging front spoilers and questionable tires. Not a bargain by any stretch of the imagination, all the while they were asking prices that were "elevated" for the shape they were in. I ended up buying a Tahoe from Enterprise, and it's immaculate inside and out, with one ding on the rear spoiler. Just what I was looking for, and the price was reasonable IMHO. Oh, one more thing, Hertz vehicles had the "subscription" navigation system through OnStar, monthly fee, where Enterprise had the normal "built-in" NAV system, no subscription needed. Also, to see all the equipment the vehicle built sheet has to offer, scan the QR code on the little sticker by the drivers' door, and it'll bring up a list of RPO items. You can also request a build sheet based on the VIN you can submit to GM online. Send email to socialmedia@gm.com and request the build sheet based on the VIN.
Ive been tracking Hertz prices for 2020 BMW 330i since June (All around 6k miles). Early June, the 330is prices were 31k and increasing steadily. I was waiting for a price drop but when it didnt happen I bought for 32k at the end of June. Now they are all hovering around the 35k price. Still kicking myself for not buying sooner. Also read about someone else on reddit who bought a 2019 5 series for 30k around the time I bought. I really think the good prices were in June and the prices now are nowhere near where they were when they first started liquidating.
BMW. I think you know if you want to play you'll have to pay. I loved my 525i until EVERYTHING started going out. I'm not sure if you've ever owned a Beemer but they are high maintenance. Examples: My battery died. I replaced it. My check engine light came on. I talked to a tech who eventually worked on my car off hours. He said when the battery dies and it is replaced the dealer has to populate the computer with the; brand of battery and all the numbers off of it. Next, all the plastic parts under the hood that go out can be replaced by aftermarket but once the computer recognizes an error the dealer can only reset the error. I called my car a CMW- Chinese Motor Werks. The transmissions are sealed. Can't do your own work. Some of the newer ones have a plugin to spread the calipers. Can't change the pads. If you want to change your own antifreeze, BMW has their own special key to flush from the bottom. They change this key from year to year. Repair shops have to buy from BMW, so they don't because they'd have to buy new ones every year and apparently it's expensive. My only thought is don't let the warranty run out.
Hertz prices are not going to be slashed below Kelly Blue Book they need to make money. Here is something to consider also when they a claimed bankruptcy there stock dropped and they tried to sell stock to raise 500 million. They were stopped by the commissioner of the stock exchange because the investors would not be able to be paid once the bankruptcy went through. Not good business practice.
Then how can I make sure that I'm getting the best deal? What if the best incentive in my zip code is 1000$, but the car that I want is 3000$ cheaper in a dealership 500 miles from home? I believe it's legal to buy a car out of state, so why pass on a possible better price?
Sorry to bust these guys bubbles but the high end hertz cars have a higher price than you can buy on a lot!!!!!! They are right, huge companies are going in and buying all the SUV and compact SUV’s like Mazda and Toyota. They can sell them at inflated prices.
Researchmaniacs.com has window sticker lookup for some makes. I’ve used it for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Fords. Unfortunately they don’t have them for the other major makes like Toyota, Honda or GM.
I got my bmw through rent2buy. They were so busy no one picked up their phones. I had to drive in after the 3 day period and buy it. Though even if the rental period is extended, you only pay the rental fees if you dont buy. Otherwise time really isnt a big factor. Also they didnt even had a company credit card to pay for the state inspection prior to sale. I had to go do it and they took the cost off the purchase price.
Hertz in my area has been putting 2020 cars on sale with under 10k miles on them and brand new condition great prices too. Secondly the sponsor is just a lead generation website no better than true car or cars direct they just want your personal information.
I should know the answer, but I don’t. When Hurtz bought the car, did they go through a dealership, or is there a back door, friend at the factory, direct from manufacturer delivery? N.E.OH Bob
Direct from manufacture is what enterprise did back when I worked for them at whole sale pricing basically . Than rented them out for about two years and kept them under 30k as best as they could before sending them to sales .
Even if Hertz does come out of bankruptcy, any warranties they back may be considered a liability and written off during the BK process leaving all warranties null and void
I can look to see if I still have my info tomorrow. I bought a really good one. I had my rear wheel steering go out. It was 8k for the part and 4k for the labor. They flew a rep out to confirm. I paid 200 dollar deductible and they covered the amount at dealership price. Covered 12k for a 1,200 dollar warranty.
I think the main thing is do research on reviews BUT read the fine print. There are things related to emissions and electrical not covered in the one I had, as I recall. I've never bought a used vehicle without getting an aftermarket warranty. You may never need it but if something really bad happens that would have been covered it could be really bad. I personally had to make at least 3 claims on different cars and companies over the years and it was covered.
I'm sitting in my car going through my paperwork. The only thing I was able to find is a brochure: Motor Assistance Plan (MAP Classic) an Enterprise Financial Group company. P.O. Box 167667 Irving , Texas 75016 1 800 527-1984
I wish your website findthebestcarprice.com was not just a personal info hoarding and info selling website. It makes it lose it's integrity. I would like to search and find what the best price would be without being harassed by multiple car dealers through phone calls, texts and email. Plus, you really don't get any prices, just harassment. Your site is the exact same as cars.com, no different.
This reminds me of when my fiance wrecked a rental. She paid over 12k to have it fixed. The body and suspension was pretty bad. I'm sure it was eventually sold. The question I have now after this video is: If she paid for it to be repaired and it didn't get claimed on insurance, I wonder if the Carfax was clean and someone bought it not knowing it was crashed?
Captain Obvious and lieutenant Ditto. Car dealers buy cars from rental companies and sell them with inflated prices to you, and you think you did well by buying. Look at car history of any car Carmax or Carvana sell and you will find no history to speak of, just registration renewal and emission testing. Many have multiple accidents. Buying used car from anyone, anywhere is a big chance to take. NO ONE will ever sell a good, reliable, dependable, economical, fun to drive car. I've bought used cars for 60 years, and every one of them had a dirty little secret or two.

余越崎 assuming its oil was changed after, not a big deal, but thats a helluva assumption
I agree, no big deal. Most rental car mileage is highway mileage which is only about a 10th of city driving.
Yea your over exaggerating lol
Great videos guys. I really appreciate your work.
That just means next year there will be 200k less cars on the used car market so I wonder what the used car prices will be like next year.
A) you guys are hilarious
B) obtuse is more like oblivious or not comprehending, rather than irrelevant
Hertz/Avis could very well absorb into another car rental company. These companies have been doing this over the past two decades.

Ive been tracking Hertz prices for 2020 BMW 330i since June (All around 6k miles). Early June, the 330is prices were 31k and increasing steadily. I was waiting for a price drop but when it didnt happen I bought for 32k at the end of June. Now they are all hovering around the 35k price. Still kicking myself for not buying sooner. Also read about someone else on reddit who bought a 2019 5 series for 30k around the time I bought. I really think the good prices were in June and the prices now are nowhere near where they were when they first started liquidating.
BMW. I think you know if you want to play you'll have to pay. I loved my 525i until EVERYTHING started going out. I'm not sure if you've ever owned a Beemer but they are high maintenance. Examples: My battery died. I replaced it. My check engine light came on. I talked to a tech who eventually worked on my car off hours. He said when the battery dies and it is replaced the dealer has to populate the computer with the; brand of battery and all the numbers off of it. Next, all the plastic parts under the hood that go out can be replaced by aftermarket but once the computer recognizes an error the dealer can only reset the error. I called my car a CMW- Chinese Motor Werks. The transmissions are sealed. Can't do your own work. Some of the newer ones have a plugin to spread the calipers. Can't change the pads. If you want to change your own antifreeze, BMW has their own special key to flush from the bottom. They change this key from year to year. Repair shops have to buy from BMW, so they don't because they'd have to buy new ones every year and apparently it's expensive. My only thought is don't let the warranty run out.
Hertz prices are not going to be slashed below Kelly Blue Book they need to make money. Here is something to consider also when they a claimed bankruptcy there stock dropped and they tried to sell stock to raise 500 million. They were stopped by the commissioner of the stock exchange because the investors would not be able to be paid once the bankruptcy went through. Not good business practice.
Great pointers. Thanks guys 🙏
Thanks for scalene that down for us.
They have all the angles covered.
Is that a new Breitling Ray's sportin'?
Is 24 carrot ring not far behind?
Nothing parties like a rental
On your sponsor website, why is it mandatory to providey zip code?
If I'm looking for the best price, I would like to have the search nationwide
Rajih many times incentives are regionalized and are only available to customers who reside in that area. Stay safe, Ray
Then how can I make sure that I'm getting the best deal?
What if the best incentive in my zip code is 1000$, but the car that I want is 3000$ cheaper in a dealership 500 miles from home?
I believe it's legal to buy a car out of state, so why pass on a possible better price?
I'm genuinely interested in this topic because I'll be shopping for a new car around December
I looked at their Velars... they had low mileage (
Same. Was looking at 2017 MB GLS and it’s pretty much same price as carmax or MB dealer price
Hey Zach how did U comeout at Carvana.I called them today n got n offer from them n now I'm gonna Checkout CarMax n the Ford Dealer.
Sorry to bust these guys bubbles but the high end hertz cars have a higher price than you can buy on a lot!!!!!! They are right, huge companies are going in and buying all the SUV and compact SUV’s like Mazda and Toyota. They can sell them at inflated prices.
Does anyone know if there's a way or website to get the original window sticker on vehicles?
Researchmaniacs.com has window sticker lookup for some makes. I’ve used it for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Fords. Unfortunately they don’t have them for the other major makes like Toyota, Honda or GM.
J.T. Yes you can get a look at the window sticker from factory by inputting vin number on web site of manufacturer.
Just iron it or take it out of the dryer lol😂
They "let" you rent three days then when you decide to buy it you couldn't find the sales department. They make $ from your rental.
I got my bmw through rent2buy. They were so busy no one picked up their phones. I had to drive in after the 3 day period and buy it. Though even if the rental period is extended, you only pay the rental fees if you dont buy. Otherwise time really isnt a big factor. Also they didnt even had a company credit card to pay for the state inspection prior to sale. I had to go do it and they took the cost off the purchase price.
What would y'all consider too many miles on a rental car? Thanks
Would the powertrain warranty still be good on a vehicle from hertz?
Hertz in my area has been putting 2020 cars on sale with under 10k miles on them and brand new condition great prices too. Secondly the sponsor is just a lead generation website no better than true car or cars direct they just want your personal information.
Think the used car market is dry now...wait another year when rental companies don’t have cars to de-fleet.
Has someone ever traded a car and had the wrong mileage on the odometer.
I should know the answer, but I don’t. When Hurtz bought the car, did they go through a dealership, or is there a back door, friend at the factory, direct from manufacturer delivery? N.E.OH Bob
Direct from manufacture is what enterprise did back when I worked for them at whole sale pricing basically . Than rented them out for about two years and kept them under 30k as best as they could before sending them to sales .
Bob the larger rental car companies buy direct from the Manufacturers. Thanks for asking. Be good, Ray
Thanks Ray ! Hey, Bob And Ray ! My favorite comedy team !
One of the best ever.
Even if Hertz does come out of bankruptcy, any warranties they back may be considered a liability and written off during the BK process leaving all warranties null and void
It should be “don’t ever buy or RENT a hertz car. Terrible company
Can you recommend a 3rd party extended warranty company?
None: They make money by collecting more than they pay out plus expenses.
I can look to see if I still have my info tomorrow. I bought a really good one. I had my rear wheel steering go out. It was 8k for the part and 4k for the labor. They flew a rep out to confirm. I paid 200 dollar deductible and they covered the amount at dealership price. Covered 12k for a 1,200 dollar warranty.
I think the main thing is do research on reviews BUT read the fine print. There are things related to emissions and electrical not covered in the one I had, as I recall. I've never bought a used vehicle without getting an aftermarket warranty. You may never need it but if something really bad happens that would have been covered it could be really bad. I personally had to make at least 3 claims on different cars and companies over the years and it was covered.
Toco is a good company. They replaced my axles and I only had to pay a deductible of $100.
I'm sitting in my car going through my paperwork. The only thing I was able to find is a brochure: Motor Assistance Plan (MAP Classic) an Enterprise Financial Group company.

Im looking
Really good video.
I wish your website findthebestcarprice.com was not just a personal info hoarding and info selling website. It makes it lose it's integrity. I would like to search and find what the best price would be without being harassed by multiple car dealers through phone calls, texts and email. Plus, you really don't get any prices, just harassment. Your site is the exact same as cars.com, no different.
I agree with the "accute" angle. Just sayin' BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If I got you to laugh then my job here is done. :)
Are they dating?
This reminds me of when my fiance wrecked a rental. She paid over 12k to have it fixed. The body and suspension was pretty bad. I'm sure it was eventually sold. The question I have now after this video is: If she paid for it to be repaired and it didn't get claimed on insurance, I wonder if the Carfax was clean and someone bought it not knowing it was crashed?
Rental car companies usually self insure....so most likely nothing would go on carfax if they fixed it.
Captain Obvious and lieutenant Ditto.
Car dealers buy cars from rental companies and sell them with inflated prices to you, and you think you did well by buying. Look at car history of any car Carmax or Carvana sell and you will find no history to speak of, just registration renewal and emission testing. Many have multiple accidents.
Buying used car from anyone, anywhere is a big chance to take. NO ONE will ever sell a good, reliable, dependable, economical, fun to drive car. I've bought used cars for 60 years, and every one of them had a dirty little secret or two.
I would never buy a rental.
Them bankers
Get to the point
Look at the yelp reviews of the company you are recommending Lemon Finders. Just horrible. Virtually everyone is a terrible review
Interesting. 👍
Thanks guys check out Call Vanna
Where's mom?

Reyes, My wife and Zach and Dara's mother, Suzanne passed away three years ago from lung cancer. We all miss her dearly. Stay safe and hug the ones you love. Ray
@@CarEdge I'm sorry for your situation. My wife to passed away, (ovarian cancer), six years ago. My support and great videos.
Reyes, I know and feel your pain. Be good, Ray
Fabreeze.
Biased, you are spreading misinformation about the cars and the warranty.

Related to Ned Clickbaity, cousins I think. Stay safe, Ray
The kid is a poor host
Both of them.
Joke on your own time
Great video. I’ve been looking at buying a used Tesla Model 3 from Hertz. It’s in a different state, so it’s a few hours from home. Not sure if I should buy yet.
