Hertz Rent A Car

This review is for the used car sales next to the rent a car office. I believe this is the main Hertz used car sales operation in the Lower Mainland. Budget operates a similar sales office in South Vancouver, near Marpole. The idea seems to be that once a rental car has reached a certain mileage or age, the rental company can recover their capital cost more efficiently by selling it. If you’re ok with buying a used car from a rental company, then the prices can be pretty good.
I found service to be ok. They try quite hard. It seems to be a high volume, low margin business for them with a relatively fast inventory turnover. So if you don’t see anything you like, you can wait a week and see what comes in the next weekend. If you are planning to buy a car that day, remember to bring in a checkbook, a void check, or have your bank identifier code and account number ready. The used car sales office does not accept cash or credit. I think this is more as an accounting control. They can apply to the bank for the financing with your bank account number. Rates were pretty good depending on your credit score. It’s also probably a good idea to come in earlier in the day or on weekdays. They are quite busy on Saturdays.
I didn’t feel like I was getting ripped off. There were cosmetic problems with the car I bought, but it was a used car and the price was good. I think the internals will be ok, I hope. They said that the remainder of the factory warranty was still valid.
