Hertz is reportedly trying to sell some of its electric vehicles to people who currently rent the cars. The rental car company is apparently looking to offload some of its EV fleet and is proactively offering customers the option to outright purchase the vehicles they are leasing.
A viral post on reddit showed an apparent email from Hertz offering a customer the option to buy the same EV they were renting. In this case, it was a 2023 Tesla Model 3 for $17,913. People in the comments mentioned obtain similar offers for other EVs.
Hertz communications director Jamie Line he told The Verge that this was not a new strategy and seemed to suggest that it was not limited to EVs.

“By connecting our rental customers who opt-in to our emails to our sales channels, we are not only raising awareness of the fact that we sell cars, but also offering a unique opportunity to someone who may be in the market for the same car that they have for rent,” said Line.
Hertz has long sold vehicles from its fleet and there are a number of electric cars currently for sale on their site. Hertz he announced this year a plan to sell about 30,000 EVs after major losses.
