Accordingly, are you allowed to smoke in a rental car?
All the nation's car rental companies, exceptHertz, have banned smoking inside its cars. (Hertzsays you can request a "smoking designated"car, but if none are available, you won't beallowed to smoke in the car you get.) The policiesfor Enterprise, Alamo and National remain a bit hazy.
Additionally, do rental cars have cameras?
The company has been installing cameras andmicrophones in its NeverLost navigational systems. They're not inall Hertz rental cars. Hertz told Fusion that aroundone out of every eight of its cars had the camerasinstalled. But no, no, the company wasn't actually going touse them.
Rental car companies do not have hiddencameras in their cars. This would be against the law inthe US to record video of a person without their consent.However, they do have access to the data recorded in thecar's computers, and that data can be used in litigation ifthe car was misused.
