Hertz is facing dozens of lawsuits after customers alleged that the car rental company falsely reported their vehicles as stolen, resulting in some customers being arrested at gunpoint and jailed.
A total of 47 plaintiffs have come out against the company for the systemic issues in its theft reporting, according to CNN.
Specifically, the plaintiffs say that the rental car company failed to record rental extensions and track its inventory, falsely claimed that customers didn’t pay and didn’t correct erroneous police reports.
Those issues resulted in aggressive crackdowns by authorities, according to their complaints.
One driver was arrested while with her children at a gas station in March 2021.
