The same way dealers do.

Dealers charge a markup over private party because they supposedly have inspected a car, fixed any issues and do some cosmetic reconditioning. .Hertz does the same and also includes a 1 year / 12K mile warranty on their cars. They also provide financing and take trade ins.

How is Hertz different than CarMax?
