Hertz - Free Hertz Gold membership

I just signed up for a free Hertz Gold membership, that I was eligible for with my small business.

Anyone know of any other promos for free Gold memberships?

Do a search. Nobody pays for Gold.

"Anyone know of any other promos for free Gold memberships?"

Yup. Just register with any address that is not US or Canada. Everywhere else in the world, joining is free. Hardly a promo though, this is just normal procedure.

The AMEX Platinum card (at least the Canadian version which I can comment on, since I am from Canada) gives Hertz gold membership, as one of its benefits.

Welcome to Hertz gold, the biggest perk is not waiting in line. Being able to walk straight to your car, and be outa there in no time flat!

one problem with that is you better be able to show proof you live at the address you put in. thats a quick way to be either taken out of the service or put on the Do Not Rent list even if your a PC member. But you don't pay for your membership because the amount of rentals you do.

Need to sign up my wife (she is traveling alone) and need to get fee waived.
Does anyone know of a code.
Only one that came up on search is for Amtrack Select memebers.

frequentflyer.com
Look for banner in "view" window.

Why? I have never had to prove where I live. I have moved between countries a number of times and have never been asked to prove anything.

I never have had to pay since I live in Australia and Europe

If you're really desperate, rent a Prestige vehicle and get it for free.

I don't think you can sign up for a Gold membership with a foreign address (at least Japanese) right now. The Japanese Hertz website doesn't even offer Gold, just regular #1 membership. Tried signing up through the US Hertz site, but after putting in my "location" as Japan on one of the opening pages, I was not even able to access the Gold signup page, and instead bumped to a page with the message "We're sorry. We are in the process of expanding our new website to add Hertz #1 Club Gold Enrollment for Japan. In the meantime, you can still enroll online by clicking here to go to our original site" (BTW, you can't). Closed all my windows and browser to clean out the cache, started up again and this time tried putting "Australia" as my location. Got bumped to the following message "We're sorry. We are in the process of expanding our new website to add Hertz #1 Club Gold Enrollment for Australia. In the meantime, you can still enroll online by clicking here to go to our original site." Tried using the Frequentflier.com link, and put my location as "United States". Made it to the online form, filled it out, selecting "Japan" as my mailing address (address has to match the billing address of the credit card input), hit continue and...got bumped to the same message page "We're sorry. We are in the process of expanding our new website to add Hertz #1 Club Gold Enrollment for Japan .
