SIXT and Stellantis Seal 250,000 Vehicle Deal

European rental car company SIXT has struck a deal with Stellantis for 250,000 vehicles, including some electric models, following its decision to phase out Tesla EVs from its fleet. The agreement aims to support both companies' efforts to reduce carbon emissions, with Stellantis targeting 100% passenger car battery EV sales mix in Europe by 2030 and SIXT aiming for 70-90% EVs in its fleet by 2030. This move comes after Hertz also announced plans to sell 20,000 EVs from its fleet due to high repair costs, signaling a shift towards more cost-effective EV options.

Tourist's Rental Ford Mustang GT Off-Road Adventure Turns Disastrous

A tourist's off-road adventure in a rental Ford Mustang GT ended in trouble when the low-slung muscle car got stuck in the sands of Utah. The car, rented from Hertz, had to be towed out of the sandy area after getting stuck wheels-deep. A video shared on YouTube by Matt's Off-Road Recovery shows the recovery process, which involved using a tow rope hooked up to a Jeep's solid rear axle to create a lower pull point. The incident serves as a reminder to exercise common sense and avoid taking a Mustang out on soft sand, especially as a rental car.
