Ah, memories. I was there in that same Hertz station about 23 years ago when my new (at that time) girlfriend and I went on a 4 week USA trip (we're from The Netherlands). Rented a Ford Explorer V8 and had a great time. And she's still with me :)
Got it .
Hummer EV for Miami Crossfit Instructors.
XM for highly successful Atlanta Strippers.
Thanks for giving the Niro some love. We have a 22 Niro EV and love it!
I love playing roulette with the Manager's Special at car rental desks!
Do you ever get decent cars on the roulette wheel? I always imagine getting sub compacts 100% of the time.
@@MrJordanwain Subcompact EVs are quite rare so good odds :)
@@fleecystheking true - I hadn’t heard of the EV manager’s special before seeing this video. I meant the general manager’s specials.
I booked for a manager special for compact sedan and they offered me RAM 1500. I did not accept that lol...
@@MrJordanwain It all depends on what they want to flog off on you. There aren't that many subcompacts in the fleets. I am guessing it's because of depreciation but I mainly see suv's these days, sometimes a trax sometimes a tahoe. I've also been given minivans when they had a ton sitting there.
PSA - I live in LA and tried to rent the Poelstar 1 for fun and Hertz full stop REFUSED to let me. Apparently if you're a local resident Hertz won't rent you any of their premium cars for fear you'll take it to a chop-shop 😭
Thank the 60s Mustang GT-H crowd for that. They'd come back with the wrong engines and tires.
@@AlexBerman1 the version of the story I was told by an old timer at automotive school was that they caught on quick and lots of people were charged.
@@spcneary yup take em to the drag strip use em up n return em. Or swapping tires n engines.
I was wondering why the stock is down to $10 now.
wow, gonna note that and NOT give them my LA address when I try to rent from Hertz :(
Kyle is surprisingly knowledgeable about the finances of Strippers.😳😉
I'm so glad you're in a Niro EV! The most underappreciated EV out there! Love my 2019, so interested to see what's improved in this refresh.
Spoiled it, I was still watching the XM review lol
you mean, I don't have to use Turo anymore to rent an EV?
For sure, I’ve rented a couple times a model 3 through hertz for 55 a day out the door. Especially since my credit card covers insurance don’t have to pay the fees turo charges.
the redesigned Kona EV looks interesting as well. saw the new Kona, this updated Niro EV, as well as the 3 row EV9 in New York. additionally they had the Ioniq6 and that new GV80 Sportback a rival of sorts to BMW's XM, there was one of those there too (likely provided by BMW Manhattan). being a major market, naturally Hyundai Group was doing the FULL COURT PRESS at Javitz.
Ok well I watched the whole video it’s was very informative one thing I wanted to know are u gonna be able to get a high rate of charge up to what the care can take and yes it’s coming so that’s nice to know and to many commercial
Yes! More coverage of Korean EVs! E-GMP is great of course but the Niro EV, Kona EV don’t get enough time in the spotlight on this channel. I drive a canadian 2021 Soul EV 64 kWh, those a really great EVs!
I picked up a managers special Bolt EUV at PSP Hertz. Aside from the uncomfortable seats it wasn’t bad at all.
I am driving this exact car right now, from Hertz! A celebrity car
Another great video. Thank you! How tall are you?
I dont like to travel but enjoy your trips. Just looking at, deciding which car got me anxious. Enjoying and waiting for more of the trip. I'd be lost in a minute!
Budget at LAX has electrified G80s. I was surprised to see them.
Wow that’s epic!
I work for a competing company at ONT and yesterday we had a 2023 Kona EV SEL and when I drove it around the tires screeched. It was nice. I also had a customer with a Managers Special booking and gave it to him. With us though you don't have to worry about charging it back.
Glad I saw this! Just did the special rental for my upcoming trip as well. I own the Niro EV so it would be nice to drive my own car on vacation.
I test drove a new Niro EV earlier this year and really liked it a lot. The lack of power was a bit disappointing but everything else I thought was great. Lack of power having just recently test drove the EV6 & HI5 but compared to pretty much any other normal car I'd say it was fine
Yay, please make a couple of videos in the new Niro! I bought one just a few weeks ago and it looks like you're in the lower trim. I think the US just gets 2 trims, Wind and Wave, Wind being the lower.
range test in a niro would be great. we dont see much for the "low trim" EVs
Last Fall, I rented a "Managers Special" from Budget in Atlanta. It was NOT an EV, but an older, somewhat threadbare VW Jetta wagon. It ran well, but the interior had some stains and it actually had some dents on the car. But everything worked well, and it was 30% less than their usual rental prices, so it was okay, even good. Thanks for the information about Hertz at LAX. I live 8 miles away, so now I know where to go to rent a faster charging EV than my Bolt EUV for out of town trips.
You can always change it out, they’ll give you another vehicle similar. Just say it drives weird etc. hertz employee here.
Finally you got to review the new Niro EV. I was about yo ask you for that!
I did the ev managers special in the Detroit area a few weeks ago while my car was in the shop. Got a bolt
For a week for 240. Actually made me really like the bolt for the money. It rides much better then a model 3.
Biggest issue with Niro vs. Bolt EUV: the Niro is $10k more expensive. It's a better EV, sure, but $10k better?
A deal-breaker for me picking a used Niro over a used EUV was headroom in the back. I’m 6’4” and I fit in the back of the Niro but not the EUV. I found official rear headroom specs to be very inconsistent and picked the Niro after sitting in several EVs.
1. the beginning of the video in Colorado surprised me. I always envisioned Colorado as very mountainous.
2. saw that Hertz GT-H Mustang painted in black and gold. I know it isn't an EV, but want one.
3. rented the previous generation Kia Niro EV three years ago for a month, while my 1999 Lexus SC was being painted. While small, it was a decent car and convinced me I could go EV. Do not trust Hyundai/Kia longevity. The new one looks good. The center screen is pretty cool. I remember the interface as being very useful.
I just rented a Kia Niro EV here in New York for the weekend, also through Hertz! Not particularly a driver's car, but it was smooth and seamless; exactly what I was looking for a quick jaunt across state lines. I was certainly happy to get behind the wheel of my MINI Cooper SE after returning the Niro, though!
I Followed an iX out of a parking lot this AM and it’s a Really nice looking car. First one I’ve seen in the wild. It’s Far better looking than this thing, I think.
I do like the roof also. The club vibe is spot on. I like it.
Good choice on the Niro! It’s high on my list as a city car.
wait until they finished the Rental Hub at LAX soon, its going to be a nicer experience rather than taking a shuttle to a lot... you'll be able to take the "People Mover" to the hub.
Glad you took the Niro!
No matter the current BMW model, the highest praise I ever hear for the exterior styling is, “it’s growing on me.” That’s a tragedy.
Gotta check for that managers special next time!
Love the nitro, looks good.
I would have tried to get the EV6 on the manager special....
Did they have the Ree P7 at the conference I am really liking the stuff they are coming out with
I vote range test. Apparently this refresh is more efficient. I need proof of this.
Also, interior looks way better than the Bolt, but you pay for that.
Nice Nero! But all these buttons :) 2 scrollable ones could take care of business!
The Nero is a popular choice here in the UK all say it’s a great improvement over reasonably rated e-Nero
As a Bolt driver, I think a Bolt is absolutely the best value for your money in terms of an EV to own. But, if I were renting an EV, I would absolutely go for a Tesla. They're cheap to rent (a model 3 costs about the same as a compact gas car), and even if you're just driving around town, you'll still appreciate the supercharger access when charging the car at the end of the trip. After all, the last thing you want to be doing when you've got a plane to catch is waiting in line to charge the car at a half-functional Electrify America. And if your car is a Bolt and you have to charge to 80% to reach the rental office at 70%, it's even worse.
I personally don't see what the point is in having CCS vehicles in the rental fleet at all - at least with the current charging situation. As a rental company, Hertz has to deal with lots and lots of customers that are used to gas cars and know next to nothing about EVs. When they find Electrify America sites full and glitchy, some will inevitably blame Hertz and write bad reviews. People that don't know to leave themselves a buffer in case a charger is down may even get themselves stranded somewhere, increasing the load on Hertz's roadside assistance service. Simply put, a mass market EV rental service needs the charging system to be idiot-proof, and the closest to an idiot-proof option that currently exists is to rent out Teslas and tell customers to use the superchargers.
How would you compare the powertrain calibration to the Panamera or Cayenne E Hybrid?
Love seeing all the EVs! The future is exciting!!!
Not bad for the hire car lottery!
Please check out the Hyliion booth and do a ride along if you can!
I just found out the Niro EV I ordered last October won't be available until mid-July. Originally we were promised it in May. If we get it in July it will have been a 9 month wait (during which time Tesla dropped the price of the MY below that of the Niro EV (in France anyway).
I have a 23 Niro EV Niro wave. it's just awesome!!
Let's hope Hertz do not report that rental EV stolen
Just did the hertz manager EV special at JAX but that was the only way to select an EV. They offered me a bolt EUV. I wish they would of had a Kona because with 4 ppl, luggage, and 185 mile drive I didn’t trust the bolt with our needs. Unfortunately they wanted to charge 2x the rate for the polestar that I paid for at LAX so we had to go with a gas car.😢
Yay niro! I love mine, and even prefer it over ioniq 5 in some ways (not in every way)
Using the Hertz Manager Special I've never had an EV but I have had an Audi A4 and a Corvette!
Do you have to charge the vehicle before returning it?
One question i have, does Hertz provide you with a charging cable? I know they do this with Teslas, but how about the other EVs?
You should consider rent the Polestar One again, that car is an unicorn and is going to disappear.
I am surprised that the iX top model would be available for "only" $115k. In Germany the price would be €150K (165USD). The XM fully spec'ed €188k ($207k).
I love the new Nero really seems like it is everything you need and nothing you don’t really considering one but waiting to see the kona refresh get reviews as I seem to prefer the Hyundai flavour of most of their cars
Niro
Did it come with a charging cable?
One benefit of this over the iX is that you don't have to look at a Bugs Bunny grille.
Free Goldfish with every EV rental at Hertz! I’m in! 💥
The Wind is the lower trim while the Wave is the higher trim
Hertz bus goes by...
I received a 30% EV discount in email I should look into it. Especially since I’ve never drove an EV.
Do you ever get any of the coverages they offer or just use your own insurance? I'm just curious based on how you drive and the higher chances of damage 😂
Always all of the coverage for me
Yikes, huge waste of money, unless you don't have personal coverage.
Sign up for the AMEX premium rental plan and it provides collision coverage for a month, even across separate rentals in the same month. Only costs $30/mth, not per day.
I see the Polestar all over LA these days
Cable management, please!
How come you dont raint about Hertz crazy charge return pricing.
I rented from Hertz and the agent has fuel at 100% then told the lady at the exit and she lowered it to 70 which car was at 84%
Then look at there charge return info and is you get above 80% you have to bring back 80 or above but if you get 79 to 50% you can bring back 10% less.
Very strange.....
Don't you have insurance coverage through your credit card?
I just booked EV manager special and wonder EV manager special guaratee the EV car? or they could offer economy class cars instead? if there's no EV cars' left or something.
Rental EVs should allow for any level battery return. Expecting you to recharge it is silly compared to an ICE rental.
I can understand the reasoning from Hertz's perspective. Before a returned car can be rented to another customer, it needs to be charged. If the rental office has only level 2's, rather than DC fast chargers, a car returned with 20% SOC is out of service for hours while it sits on the level 2. That's a non-trivial amount of lost revenue, and the fee for returning the car at less than 70% SOC is effectively compensating them for that lost revenue. Even if the Hertz office does has DC fast chargers, incentivizing people to charge the cars themselves before returning them still reduces the number of DC fast chargers they need to run the facility. It should also be noted that a requirement to return the car at 70% is much less onerous than being required to return it at 100%, and also, even if you don't the fee for not doing so is only $35, which is not the end of the world.
That said, I do hope Hertz shows some grace and doesn't slap people with a $35 fine because they misjudged their energy use from charger to car return and end up returning the car at 69% instead of 70%.
@@ab-tf5fl what is the Fee for returning the car less than 70% ? is it $35 that you mention as a "fine"? I am headed to Orlando in a few weeks and really contemplating Renting a Model 3 while there. For a week long rental, a Model 3 is about $60 more than an ICE sedan.... I drove my Model Y down the East Coast and plugged into the Disney Springs chargers are got a rate of about $0.39/kwh. I am guessing we'll end up driving about 60 miles total.... so guessing we'll need about a total of 20kwh at most, which would be about $8.... Gas prices are going to be about the same honestly... returning it with 50% would be ideal so I don't have to take time out of our trip to go charge it or stop somewhere to charge it.... I know it probably only would require about 10-15 minutes, but just don't want to.
All the Kia Hyundai cars are are so similar. Almost all the controls are exactly the same as my ioniq 5
Hertz? Keep your receipt and make a video of the return of the car and the place you parked it. Hertz is known to come after you claiming you did not return a car when you did.
Bro you just made strippers cry lol.. Think of all the girls tonight whos dreams are crushed now
😂
Tesla has stated last year they want to be 100% ev fleet by 2025
What was the name of your wallet. You said it so fast I couldn't catch it. Love your channel helping me with choosing a EV
Polestar 1?!? What the heck...
Sounds very noisy, like something is trying to rapidly blow up when accelerating. Hope that gasoline stuff doesn’t catch fire and blow up! 😂
How complicated.
What this video showed me is how deeply Hertz is invested into Electric Vehicles. If the rental fleets are electric, the rest of the world will son follow. Congrats to Hertz for getting Butts in Seats!
Kyle would be interested in your opinion of what Hyliion relative to their current hybrid EV/natural gas conversion and their future range extender generator. Have read about them and watched their UA-cam videos and it appears to me that they have something that large fleet truck operators are looking for. If you weren't at this address from Daimler thought you might be interested in viewing it re the ACT Expo 23 on charging infrastructure for large trucks. ua-cam.com/video/eY76BzcxeFc/v-deo.html
Also, this car is such a miss. That M V8 sound is all piped in the cabin. That’s why it sounds video game-y. Also, the X5 and X6 M’s are faster and handle better. This looks meh at best, is heavy, expensive, and not fast. And it probably rides too stiff, if it rides like the other M SUV’s. Not deserving of the badge.
I mean you have the car, might as well do a proper review of it while you have it.
navigating LAX, lol
I’m not happy with this NXU sponsorship. They conned thousands of people out of money under a different name (Atlis Motor Vehicles) selling a completely different company and vision.
😂😂stipper car
No, they need to explain everything regarding EV autos at a rental... Hertz is crap
