Also, unless things have changed, Hertz has crappy-high prices. Avoid them.

use turo. better cars, better prices. These are the collection of cars i'll be using for my trip to vegas The challenger and 718 are both less than that spark. The GT 500 is about 2x. Obviously they're more affordable shit on there if you just want something cheap to get from point a to b.

The only problem with turo is they actively monitor your car via gps and will alert the owner if you go over 70mph, apparently.

That's not a thing at all.

The owner can install a gps device that gives them that info, but any rental company is going to have one.

I went 110 in a BMW down a well paved farm road 2 years ago.

Mileage limitation is up to the owner. The gt500 is unlimited mileage and I'll be driving from vegas to sante fe.

Some have upgrades for unlimited, some are unlimited by default.

Shortage on some of the components for cars so supply is limited along with the fact rental agencies sold off a lot of their cars during the pandemic due to decreased demand and to increase cash flow. Companies are terrible at planning for the long term.
