Weird stuff going on here.

A few weeks ago I booked a rental on Hertz.com for a local rental in ATL. It's a 5-hour rental coming up soon. As I was reviewing my reservations, I noticed that this one now says pickup in ATL, drop off in Freeport Bahamas, 5 hours later. What??? :confused:

Free unlimited mileage, no drop off charge either. I am tempted, but I'd probably get into serious speeding trouble if I tried to make it in 5 hours.

Has anyone had this happen?

And what should I do? Correct the reservation, or leave as is? If I leave as is, will they I get into trouble on the return for not returning to the designated location?

Bahamas are an island; I assume there are ways to get cars between the US Mainland and the Bahamas but no way you could do it in 5 hours.

I think this must be a Hertz.com bug.

This reminds me of a recent Top Gear episode where the guys tried to cross the English Channel in homemade amphibious cars. Only Jeremy's Toyota pickup with the outboard motor made it across and landed in France.

Travel agent booked a weekly hertz rental for pickup in OGG and return in HNL...when I went to pick up the Hertz agent had to laugh.

If I was James Bond I might have been able to submarine the car from Maui to Oahu...:p

This has actually been a big issue in Hawaii due to the drama involving the SuperFerry. Lots of discussion on this in the Hawaii forum.
