Hertz - To Monthly rent or not, that is the "?"

In a situation where I could rent out a car for a little over a month... probably in another month or two. Most likely the rental will be from a HLE but I could hit up PBI and rent off the airport lot if it makes sense.

I've been diggin through the numbers and haven't come up with an answer to renting for the whole month or break it up with some weekly/daily rentals.

Seems to me that renting for the whole month without a break in the contract will help my rate. However if I rent a month but break it up into weekly and daily rentals then I could get more perks such as double points and also points through my Marriott Rewards or Continental One Pass account.

Granted many PC codes are about to expire so it's hard to say what the future holds.... what would you guys suggest. Personally, I want to hit as many points as possible and if I have to take a slighty higher rate then I am game.

If your not set on Hertz... I would look at a local Enterprise location. They usually have very competitive monthly rates.

I've been trying out the other companies for the past while so my Hertz account is pretty new, new enough not to mind switching companies. National has impressed me the most but I don't have anything local, would have to go the airport route (40mins away).

I'll take a look at Enterprise but I never see many deals for points witr groups.

For a while (3 months) I was driving CAE -> GSO roundtrip every week. I talked yo a local (non-airport) Enterprise location, and there were more than happy to negotiate a premium car for a very reasonable rate, with an exchange every week if I wanted to.

Their flexibility impressed me when it came to local outlets. I seldom rent from them when traveling by plane though.

They also have pick-up and drop-off available. That's a nice touch too.
