The only thing available with Hertz was Telsa. I read the manual on it including the part about braking.

I cancelled my reservation and used Uber/Lyft. I didn't regret the situation. In fact it probably didn't cost us too much money (if at all). We avoided parking fees at attractions at a minimum. Required a little bit of walking on our part, but not too bad.
