They already do that. It's called Turbotax.

The IRS outsourced everything it needs for free using a smart startegy.

Smarter than Hertz who falsely arrests it's customers and subchat feels is a company that means something.

Hertz has had paperwork problems. People return cars and Hertz loses track, they report the car stolen, a warrant gets issued for the renter's arrest, etc.

It's happened way more often than it should, and Hertz has been unapologetic in some of the cases.

"...a warrant gets issued for the renter's arrest, etc."

So you turn the car and keys to the Hertz office, hand the keys to the desk clerk under office camera surveillance and still get arrested?

Damn...talk about an open and shut false arrest situation. Calling all lawyers!

I think it usually happened with after-hours returns and tossing the keys into a lock box.

Yeah, but it tended to happen to those who could least afford to put up a fight.

If they could afford a rental car, they can afford to put up a fight, especially if they are arrested while being in the right.

If you park on the street at home and at work, that's a tough situation for EVs.

Parking meters with chargers are likely to be a long term solution, but not anytime real soon.

Also high speed chargers that don't take much more of your time than a gas station does, located exactly where gas stations are right now.

Agreed, 30 miles from Manhattan has to be the suburbs. In fact, it was the Westchester Avenue corridor near the Hutchinson.

I usually bought gas at one of the very busy stations on the Bronx side of the Willis Ave or Third Ave Bridges. I'm sure those locations will have high speed chargers in a few years, if they don't already have them.

So parking meters every 15 or feet or so like the olden days that have a charger tethered to them?
The best hope is for wireless charging.

Not true.

Hertz sent out arrest warrents to hundreds of people falsely. It became a big story that never ended for years in the media.
It had nothing to do with missing keys. They had the keys and the car on the lot in many many cases. They never looked.

Hertz used dinosaur systems, and if they thought they could not locate a car, without really even doing a search for said car, they would send a notice to police departments that the car was stolen. Even though it was on their lot.
Some police departments blacklisted Hertz.

Hertz went so far as to arrest diamond members, claiming they could not locate the perp in any way. Even though the diamond member rented a car from them near weekly and all of their contact information was up to date. Hertz still claimed they had no information when locking the dude up.

I highly suggest you go look into any of these stories you can find. They are very maddending.

Then Hertz claimed they were too bankrupt to pay out.

The people who were falsely arrested had spent YEARS fighting over it. It's not a one day deal. Some rotted in jail for more than just a few days, and they had plenty of money.

I wanted to rent an EV from Hertz, but I'm literally scared to death to use them. Literally.
Having worked in hospitality using antiquated computers that no one is trained in, I know how easy it is for this to occur. Mistakes can literally be had by one key stroke.

I used Turo instead.
