AAA or actually BCAA here in BC Canada gave me the best deal for a 5 day rental in the Netherlands. No extra fee for dropping it off in a different city. BCAA also promises free extra driver, but hasn't answered my email questioning if that holds true for Europe rentals too.

Discount codes for Turkey anyone?
Anyone have any CDP and/or PC that would work good for Turkey. I am looking to rent for 4 days (wed - sun). Any help would be appreciated.

Modified reservation--> price went down $10!
I've changed my reservation for next week at an HLE twice in the last several days. The first time, I moved it from a Monday through Monday reservation to a Tuesday through Tuesday reservation. The price didn't change.
Just now I changed it back to a Monday through Monday reservation. The price went down $10! I didn't change the CDP (5 for AAA) or the PC (148396) either time I changed the reservation.
I had another Tuesday through Tuesday reservation for the week after that. When I went to change it to a Monday through Monday just now, the website first told me the economy car I wanted wasn't available. I closed the browser and tried again a couple minutes later. This time there was no problem with availability. And the price for this one also went down $10!

Does anyone know if I can still earn airline miles on the 2 rentals = free day promo, or do I need to select ZE1 points?

Hm, did they change the ouraaa site's discount amount? The prices seem to be significantly higher than when I used the site to rent a few months ago.(245ai vs 320ai)
Or did they fix it and you have to log in now to get the better low quote?(non AAA member)
TIA!

The fine print is the usual stuff, no hints there. I'm guessing something similar to Labor Day's 40% off special-ish special.

Wow, talk about a 'meh' offer:
http://www.hertz.com/rentacar/specia...xml&Category=Q
Book now and enjoy Scary Savings! 25% Off the weekend rate.
The only scary part is they try to make this seem like "savings". In order to save something, you would need to spend the following as a USAA member (example, as that's my CDP) with other, bookable-longer-than-a-single-weekend PC numbers:
-11% + $5/day off 1 or 3-4 day weekend rentals (~$40/day base price to be a good offer)
-11% + $7.50/day off 2 day weekend rentals ($60/day)
-11% + $10/day off 2 day weekend rentals for Premium or higher, including hybrids and SUVs ($80/day)
-11% + $20/day off Prestige Collection rentals ($150/day)
For a AAA member, the number is much, much higher for the categories as they have larger savings at aaa.com/hertz and the $10/day discount on economy-fullsize.
Note: The USAA 11% discount is only for PHL. Other airports have a larger USAA discount: DFW for example has a 20%+ discount off weekend rentals economy-fullsize.

I am looking for a car in Germany next week. The Hertz side gave me a #1 member rate of $ 420.00 for two weeks at TXL, I am also a member of AAA Texas, their rate was $ 959.29. Doesn't look like International gets a lot of discount using the AAA site

Last summer I rented at the offsite Hertz in Frankfurt. The original quote was for an E Class Mercedes for $1250 US for two weeks. When the taxi unloaded our luggage and four people the person at the Hertz counter shook his head and said no way everything would fit. He upgraded us to an S350 at no additional charge. Nice car...
