Any insights on who will go down with it? Which banks / institutions are knee-deep into debt. Would be good to know where it Hurtz. Terrible to see a company go bust that has more than 100 years of history....

Sometimes your business can fail without doing anything wrong

They were the least competitive in their industry, so no surprise and no big loss to consumers.

Dude it was two fucking months... how could they. Millions survived high house rent without a steady income.

Good, paying 85 bucks a day, plus mileage an if course fuel, is outrageous. I can believe how expensive they got before covid.

It 'Hertz' to see this 😭

Someone will buy Hertz, maybe DollarCars will for $1 a share 👊🏻

Damn, another one falls to the curse of the avocado toast habit.

Lol ahhhh hah that’s what you get for that punk ass smoking fee lol

Hertz filing for bankruptcy as early as this weekend: report - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. I remember being at a Hertz location in Denver. Hundreds were stranded who had reserved cars, yet the location had none. It seems like a poorly run business. Surprised Hertz didnt disappear 2 years ago, who rents cars now? I feel for the employees, but not for the company. They ran a scam business when it came to all the “extras” and their high pressure dishonest sales tactics
