bmi diamond club - Yay - Got lucky with Hertz/BD £1 rentals!

Booked through the promo link (https://www2.hertz.co.uk/part/site/bmi/offers.cfm). Even less than £1, in fact: €2.98 for a 3 day hire in France. Now, will they give me DC points on that rate and will they let me use the double-upgrade GUV? :D

Nice one. Congrats! ^

I would need something for the UK though... :D

Would you mind sharing the dates and location with us?

will they give me DC points on that rate

Considering I've gotten full DC miles on several $1.11 rentals in the US (after coupons), I don't see why not.

Would you mind sharing the dates and location with us?CDG this coming Thursday, but if this is for the purpose of trying yourself, it won't work (I know I tried again with no luck the second time ;))

So NickB get lucky with Hertz on 01 June, getting one of the 200 cars for a quid, and today, nearly three weeks since the promo started, bmi decide to send an email out about it.

You mean to tell me they haven't given away the 200 cars yet ?...........or maybe there's one left :p

Well, there's one less left now !

Cool ! :D

Hat trick !

But I don't need any more car rentals, so if anyone tries BRU, say 10:00 on 24 June to 18:00 on 26 June....or indeed seemingly some other periods of 3 days before the end of June.....

:D congrats!

Rate-hunters should note that the curse of the bmi T&C proofreader has hit even this offer. Although it promotes :

The £1 a day car offer is inclusive of all taxes and insurance, so yes you really could enjoy a week's great drive for £7.

the offer actually only applies to a 3-day rental, and the website will only come up with the promo rate for rentals of exactly 3 days, so no you can't enjoy a week's great drive for £7.

This morning its still showing Eur2.98 for a 3 day rental in BRU next week.

According to a recent update on the website :

Over 150 Hertz cars still available for just £1 a day – don’t miss out, book now!
As the last day for renting is June 29, I wonder if they have now made the promo cars easier to find ? Something for the weekend perhaps ?

Just received an e-mail this afternoon : this promo has resurfaced for Hertz rentals through bmibaby (https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/specialoffers/index.jsp?targetPage=bb_OnePdCars.jsp&linkID=267&cam=251)

To assist you in your 2009 Summer holiday plans, Hertz are pleased to announce the return of £1 cars! Your chance to rent a Hertz car for just £1 per day!

Simply book before 9 September for pick ups between 1 March – 30 September 2009 and you’ll be in with a chance of finding a car for just £1 a day, inclusive of taxes and insurance. Each week we’ll have 200 special promotional cars hidden at Hertz locations across all routes served by bmibaby - will you be lucky enough to find one?

Just enter your rental details in the usual way, and if you’re one of the lucky 200 this week, you’ll see a £1 per day rate car in your reservation results. But you’ll have to snap it up quick, because the chances are, you won’t see it again!

There's mention of this offer (no T&Cs) on the BMI Baby homepage. The link points to the Hertz site, and adds CDP 647512, which may or may not have a bearing on things.
