I solely rent from Hertz (because of a big corporate discount). I used to rent cars frequently, though not as much in the past few years. Other than small scratches and other minor things, I’ve never had a vehicle with real issues.
The Model 3 I rented, from Hertz, didn’t have any visible modifications. But it was missing the outer lower plastic on one of the mirrors. The person at the desk said that they see that a lot (from a car wash?). It didn’t cause any real issues but did cause a whistling noise.
When I initially got it, the Autopilot was not working (which I didn’t notice until after leaving the rental place). I looked up the error displayed, but it was pretty vague and the manual said to clean the cameras, which had no effect. Luckily I found online in Reddit or another forum that the next thing to re-calibrate, which fixed it.
Overall, I will rent one again, because they certainly are fun, but they are not what I want for a main vehicle, at least yet.
