HERTZ SCREWS OVER CAR RENTERS

The Hertz car rental company tried to capitalize on the hype of the coming eclipse by advertising car rentals for the event on their blog, and even breaking down the exact times and locations are best to experience the total eclipse. Travelers placed car reservations months in advance of the August 21 eclipse. Now, two weeks before the eclipse, Hertz has placed robocalls to “several hundred” people who had reserved cars months in advance to inform them that their reservation had been cancelled due to severe overbooking. Some who had received the calls went to make new reservation and found the price had jumped from $300 for the eclipse weekend to $3,000. Hertz is now being accused of price gouging.
