Exactly crow. When you decide to not purchase collision coverage you assume the risk of a mess like this. The only real option is to ask Hertz’ and their carrier to cover the loss. The risk there is, they can simply say nope, sue us. Why should Hertz just cave and accept the allegation that their driver was negligent? On one hand, they could reason that it’s a such a small amount of money that it’s best to pay and close the file to mitigate costs…..hopefully they do this. On the other hand, they know that such a small amount of money will make suing them cost prohibitive to the plaintiff.
