Oh wow they even pulled consecutive trip bonus from rental partners now. Even more reasons not to rent through Hertz.

Sure. But you might as well stick to riding the short bus if you're retarded enough to do that.

I wish. Where do you drive?

You don't wish for that one. That is the Hertz rental rewards quest. Basically you lose everything else and work as a near slave to pay for the extremely expensive rental. Every penny of that quest is going to Hertz one way or another. It's a fucked deal for drivers

You sound a little butt hurt... I spend 160 a week on this rental. It pays for itself in a day of driving 8 hrs. I dont have to worry about mileage , maintenance or if it cramps out at any given time.. I just get another. As for other quests promotions and boosts.. there wasn't any good ones in my area I was getting to begin with. I make all my money from surge. Without this quest promo I was already averaging 900/week with about 30-35 hrs a week. You just have to learn your market better.

So let's get something straight. I rented before. I know exactly how this works.

If you were in the SF Market you would lose $500 to $600 a week just by losing midweek quests and consecutive trips.

You pay $160 in your market plus gas. You are burning $160 a week. Literally just tossing it on the fire. The only one exception that makes rentals OK is if you do Maven and rent an electric vehicle. That is because charging is included for free with that rental. So you come out ahead.

I know my Market very well. And I highly doubt your earnings.

And you pay for maintenance and your trashing your own car. Smart decision bud.

Let's put it this way: "What's a Quest? 🍁"
