I just received a wonderful German (a first!) compact car (VW, 8k mi) from Hertz. Is has out-of-state plates (neighboring state), and the owner/location on the key is "1998". I am willing to travel there in the future if they have more cars like it. Can someone tell me which rental station ("1998") owns that car? Is there a way to look-up the location's code?

If I remember correctly then 1998 is the NYC pool.

That would not surprise me. I've seen a couple of VW Jettas with the Hertz barcode in Manhattan and on Long Island. The ones I saw all had NY plates. But as always, since Hertz offers very competitive rates on one-ways almost anywhere in the country, those cars may well wind up somewhere completely different and perhaps unexpected. You may get lucky and find one in your neighborhood.
