‘I have been scammed’: Driver says car rental tricked him with ‘basic’ Audi Q8 e-tron. They told him it was the latest model

When renting a car, it’s unfortunately common to not get the exact vehicle you were looking for.

For example, one internet user called out his car rental company after they gave him a Tesla—a car with which he had a host of issues. Another claimed that the rental car company Hertz gave her a vehicle with a litany of problems, resulting in her having a car breakdown on the side of the road for hours.

However, there’s still value in getting rental cars, even with the potential issues they can present.
