You Can Get a Stupid Cheap Maserati From Hertz

Want a great deal on a vehicle that’s lived most of its life as a rental car? Hertz is the place to go. With one of America’s largest rental fleets, the agency regularly puts its former rental cars up for sale for cheap. Not even luxury brands like Maserati are immune to price drops.

As Carscoops uncovered, Hertz currently has a fleet of Maseratis for sale in the US—and many of them cost less than a new Honda CR-V. The Maseratis in question are all Grecale SUVs, and they range in price from as little as $36,543 at the time of writing to a still-pretty-reasonable $48,022 for the most expensive.

And even for rental cars, the mileage on most of these Grecales isn’t that bad. The cheapest one of the bunch only has 28,371 miles, while a handful of other examples have fewer than 15,000 miles. There’s even one Grecale with less than 10,000 miles that costs a cool $38,999. Not bad at all.

Those prices are pretty shocking considering that a brand-new Maserati Grecale will set you back at least $77,900, with the most-expensive trim—the electric Folgore—starting at a whopping $119,900 for 2025.

Of course, Maserati isn’t known for its reliability, and that’s likely keeping consumers from snapping up these lightly used luxury SUVs. As Carscoops notes, this is already the second price drop for Hertz’s Grecale fleet in recent months.

That said, there haven’t been many known issues surrounding the Grecale from a reliability standpoint. Maserati’s SUV rides on the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which has been hit or miss historically in terms of reliability.

We say roll the dice, what could go wrong?
