This definitely is not the primary time Hertz has supplied specialty automobiles to the general public for hire. The notorious Shelby GT350H Mustangs appeared within the Sixties and have returned periodically since then. Most not too long ago, Hertz had a fleet of Shelby-branded Mach-E electric Mustangs. Camaros and Corvettes have additionally been supplied every now and then.
The Jeep Wrangler promotion comes as Hertz fights to revive its public picture after issues with renters getting falsely arrested for car theft. The rental firm in the end agreed to a $168 million settlement in that case.
