Hertz - Question re Consecutive/Back-to-Back Rentals at Same Location

I'm traveling on biz to StL and my hotel is literally next door to Hertz (the Airport Hilton). I'm going for 4 days and plan to book 4 rentals, getting a different car each morning. Goal is Pres Circle....might just make it this year.

My question is this:

Does Hertz link same-location consecutive days rentals as one rental?
(Like Hilton will do...2 nights via separate reservations at the same property count as 1 stay, not 2.)

Thanks.

No. They'll count all four.

Sometimes....if you work with the agent and explain what you are doing, they will let you keep the same car. You just need to do the paperwork everyday. The key to this for them is that they don't have to clean 4 cars, they only have to clean 1, and you still get your 4 days. This works much better at neighborhood locations than it does at airport locations.

I've done something similar with my local hertz, it was a booking for 3 weeks but I did not want to use the car at the weekends so they just ended the rental on a friday night and restarted it on another renatl agreement and carried didn't need to go back untilit was time to return the car.

In theory, you would think that you could explain it to the Hertz people and be able to skip the whole swap-a-roo game every day. However, explaining your situation and finding someone who will note what you are doing and correctly process the rentals each day will take you longer than three swap-a-roos.

I would just return the car every day, get my receipt in hand, walk over to the Gold board, and find your next car. Attempts to explain what you are doing - even though it's in both your best interest and Hertz's best interest - will be met with blank stares and/or thoroughly hosed up rental records when it's all said and done.

I've done many back-to-back rentals at Hertz locations and I've simply stopped attempting to use logic and convince someone to allow me to skip the swap process. I even thought of making a Visio diagram with a detailed process flow to explain what I was doing. But it's like talking to a rock. I just bite the bullet and do the swaps.

Thanks to all who responded.

Since I'm using the STL airport facility I'll be doing the physical switching of cars.

Safe travels to all,

At Airport locations it is easier to just bring your car back and grab the new one in the stall.

At Local Editions, they are usually more then happy to let you keep your car. I had a nice Sable YF with everything (Sirius, 6-disc changer, sunroof, leather, automatic climate control) I rented daily for two weeks, followed by a nice Impala for another week (the Sable needed an oil change so I had to swap). They just closed out the rental each day and handed me a new contract. Took all of three minutes. Worked great and I was 21 rentals closer to PC. Nice thing was, it only ran me about $10 more a week to do individual rentals then weekly (which only would have earned me three).
