I've...Two completely different business models. I've done both -- Hertz and Uber. Uber is so much more convenient, regardless of driver / no driver. <br /><br />At Hertz you spend a half-hour at the counter. With Uber, you walk out of the airport terminal and since you ordered your Uber while walking to the curb, Uber is there waiting for you. <br /><br />It would be better if Hertz could do that for you ... you order your rental vehicle while walking through the terminal and the car is delivered to you at the terminal curb and you drive off with your rental car. <br /><br />Gen Xers don't have time to wait at a counter. <br /><br />Same with Enterprise which I use all the time. I have to find a ride out to Enterprise to pick up the car. Enterprise needs to deliver the car. <br /><br />Business models completely different. Uber / Lyft won't use counters. They are virtual.

Thanks for the update. <br /><br />An additional $100 billion -- technically it's not as bad as the headline would suggest -- they were already running about $85 billion over the original cost estimates, so this is only another $15 billion or so.
