My dad wrote to me about a friend s interesting predicament during a recent car rental. There are lots of stories about people renting a car and  then stealing it, often trying to sell it to someone else. Or perhaps someone is found driving a car they thought was purchased legally and it turns out it s stolen cheap hotel thailand property.
In this case, my dad s friend rented his car legitimately from Hertz, did nothing wrong, and yet apparently the local police thought his vehicle was stolen. The police cheap hotel thailand stopped him in a residential area, drew their weapons, cuffed him, and put him in the back seat of their patrol car.
Needless to say, Hertz waived the cost of the rental. That s the $179.76 Customer Relations Expense. It s hard to tell exactly what went wrong. Did Hertz report the vehicle stolen before renting it out to someone else? Maybe they had an issue with a previous renter and failed to retract the report. Did Hertz unknowingly purchase a stolen cheap hotel thailand vehicle and add it to their fleet? My dad s friend hasn t gotten many answers. It s not a situation most people experience, cheap hotel thailand so I m curious to know if you ve ever heard of something similar. One thing s for sure: I d probably demand a lot more than $180 in compensation.

Seems like he should get lifetime President s Circle membership and a few free rentals every year. Maybe lifetime access to some employee discount code or something. Someone made a mistake, so Hertz should pay the price but shouldn t be overly penalized, but they should treat him like they value his business and this way would be pretty cheap for them and would make a big difference to him.
I was once contacted by a rental company, days after returning the car, asking if I still had it Not sure how one proves they returned the car when the agency doesn t give a receipt (or it s after hours)!
This did actually happen to me in florida. cheap hotel thailand But they didn t draw guns or cuff us.. they pulled us over, and then we showed them the Hertz docs, and then we waited a while where everyone worked it out. It was still pretty weird.
