It's worth noting here that the same rental with National would be $356.60 if you are a member of (or sign up for) United Mileage Plus.

The best deal with Hertz looks to be with the USAA discount and PC 172863 coming in at $333.98.
Note that if you are a member of United Mileage Plus (or sign up for it), you can get a rate of $309.04 with National for the equivalent vehicle.

Yes, seeing the same thing on my end. Avis is definitely the better deal in this case.

Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): BTV
Pickup Date and Time:09.25.12 12:30pm
Return Date and Time:10.03.12 08:00am
Vehicle Size Preference: Full Size or Premium (can not be a geriatric car though)

Looks like PCARs are sold out for your dates. For full-size, AAA yields $391.27, while USAA is $363.07. I tried using PC# 135892 and 175070 but neither of them worked; either the website is broken (very likely) or BTV isn't participating in those promos.

In an effort to help keep the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hertz...odes-here.html thread clean, our new moderator Rut Dog has given his approval to starting a separate thread dedicated to helping each other find the best deal possible on our Hertz rentals.
The idea is that users looking for a deal will post their rental details, and fellow FT members (we'll help, too!) will then reply back with information about how to get the best rates on that specific rental.
===================================
It's hard to find the best deal with incomplete information about the rental, so here's a little template we suggest using when posting your rental information:
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): San Antonio HLE Hollywood Park
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code): same OR JW Marriott-TPC
Pickup Date and Time: 9/24 1pm
Return Date and Time: 10/01 same
Vehicle Size Preference: ECAR, CCAR
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): USAA

Ok, I'm game...
This is for a 21-yr old who I signed up for a ZE GOLD account w/a CDP that waives his age supplement charge. My rate is $153.xx total. I'm open to improvement!
NOTE: Additionally, register for triple points promotion before making your res!

Avis has a $30 coupon (MUWA005) with USAA's CDP A177232 (also no underage fee, $100k/$300k/$25k liability insurance and $5k collision deductible) for a similar price at their location on 1604.

I get $143.69 with PC 135892 and the USAA CDP for an Economy. USAA's CDP includes no additional charge for 18-24 year olds, plus a $5,000 cap on car damage.
Avis has a $30 coupon (MUWA005) with USAA's CDP A177232 (also no underage fee, $100k/$300k/$25k liability insurance and $5k collision deductible) for a similar price at their location on 1604.

Hi guys,
i need two bookings, both for underage (24 years old):
Pickup Location: LAX
Dropoff Location: LAX
Pickup Date and Time: November 7, 2012 @ 10AM
Return Date and Time: November 10, 2012 @ 10AM
Vehicle Size Preference: Any
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): None
and
Pickup Location: LAX
Dropoff Location: SFO
Pickup Date and Time: November 7, 2012 @ 10AM
Return Date and Time: November 14, 2012 @ 10AM
Vehicle Size Preference: Any
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): None
The best I got is $168.82 and $290.50, both with code a 20% off CDP and PC144314 to waive underage fee.
I don't mind joining any sort of membership, but USAA is not an option as I dont have a SSN.
I tried searching on autoslash for the second booking but its not giving me any results.
Can I do better?
