Did Hertz try to charge a guy with unlimited miles $10,000 for going over his miles? Doesn’t unlimited mean…unlimited?

A man is now going viral on TikTok after he says Herts tried to charge him $10K after he drove 25,000 miles in one month with his rental car even though he had unlimited miles! Yes, 25,000 miles in one month is a lot of miles and would be incredibly difficult to pull-off but if you have unlimited miles you should be alright!

Hertz Charged A Guy With Unlimited Mileage $10K

Hertz has since apologized for the mistake and it sounds like it was all made right. I guess you can’t blame them for trying to charge after someone drove 25,000 miles in one month. I can’t wrap my head around that. How does that happen? To get from Los Angeles, California to New York City, New York it would take you 2,790 miles. You’re telling me he drove the equivalent of, like, 10 cross-country trips in one-month? That sounds exhausting!

The location of the Hertz were not made publicly available at the time. However, the incident was captured on video and according to The Drive it shows a disagreement over the term unlimited and the conversation between the customer and the employee got pretty heated. Sounds like they were just as mind blown as I am that the customer was able to drive 25,000 miles in one month. They would never expect that–even with unlimited miles.

You can see the heated conversation between the 2 play out on video in a trending TikTok video shared by @lifeisfun3000 below. How would you have reacted in this situation? Safe to say the Hertz manager overreacted a bit by calling the cops on the customer who was proving him wrong. Definitely not a good look! See the video below.

It sounds like all was made right in the end with Hertz apologizing and the man won’t be charged the $10,000 after all. Can’t believe the manager threatened the customer like that! Threatening to arrest him over not being willing to pay a $10K fine that isn’t deserved seems wild! Hopefully they look into that further because that makes it sound like a scam and this customer might not be the first who has been put in that situation. Yikes. Hertz released a statement saying, “Customer satisfaction is our top priority at Hertz, and we sincerely regret this customer’s experience at one of our franchise locations. Per the terms of the contract, the customer will not be billed for mileage. Our franchisee is addressing the employee’s conduct and reinforcing our customer service standards and policies to ensure they are understood and followed consistently across our locations,” per The Drive.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
