Hertz Rent2Buy Rent 2 Buy review and advice

My experience with Hertz Rent2Buy and tips and advice on buying a car this way. This was my second rent2buy purchase.

Correction - I misspoke about the warranty in the video - The car did come with a limited 1 year warranty from Hertz in addition to the balance of the manufacturers warranty.


July 2023 - Both Hertz Rent2Buy cars still going strong - 165k miles on the 5 year old Tiguan and 140k on the 10 year old car Versa. Just routine maintenance since 2020 update. Both cars now paid off!

I think the most important reason for not having issues is that I did all the routine maintenance as soon as I got the cars home -oil change, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, new tires, radiator flush, brake pads. If I were doing it again I would add transmission fluid change - even on a 'closed' transmission.

Would seem wise no matter where you get a used car from unless you have a very detailed maintenance and repair history.


May 2020 - 87,000 miles now and still happy . I need to get another set of tires because I originally bought car tires instead of SUV tires the first time - really hurt the handling. Live and learn. Runs fine, no leaks, my only issue is my 'tall' son managed to put a dent in the door when he first got his license.

My other Hertz Rent2Buy a 2013 Versa with 120,000 miles now hasn't had any major work - just preventative maintenance. That one has had a very minor alignment issue since day one but not a big deal. The only major issue with that is a slipping transmission - that's a Nissan issue and nothing to do with how it came to us from Hertz.
