I was incorrect in referring to GoCar and I withdraw that remark. I stand by the comment on Hertz because I have looked at what the company is charging just because it can. It is not good enough. I describe it as economic treason. We are spending so much money marketing experiences like the Wild Atlantic Way internationally and then when people come to Ireland, the likes of Hertz have charges that are out of this world. They are not the only ones but it is time we start to name and shame these companies publicly. As I said, I referred incorrectly to GoCar and should not have done so.
