Please follow this format when posting your request:
Additionally, you can save time by having AutoSlash generate a quote for you up-front by clicking here, or if you've already got a rental booked, just click here to enter your info and AutoSlash will check to see if a lower rate is available.
If you're looking for a specialty vehicle from Hertz (something from the Prestige/Adrenaline/Green Collections), it is helpful if you can specify the four-letter car size code (i.e. ICAR, MVAR, etc.) shown on the Hertz website for the specific vehicle you're looking for.

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):
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode):
Pickup Date and Time:
Return Date and Time:
Vehicle Size Preference:
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/etc):

Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise:
Hertz (return 6/18) - $134.15

I'd prefer to use Hertz since I have 5* status with them and want to try Ultimate Choice at PHX (supposed to launch around that time). I'm still deciding whether or not to return on Sunday or Monday night (attending a family event).
