Hertz's No-Rent List
A few years back I got placed on Hertz's national "no-rent" list due to disputes I don't care to go into.
Since that time, I have a new address and driver's license number. It was my understanding that the DL # was the way Hertz tracked the list.
Am I correct? Am I now for all practical purposes off the list with a new address and DL #?

I have no idea how their no-rent list works, but I would assume that they could also track by name + address, maybe credit card numbers, or any other unique piece of data you've given them. I guess it depends on how many of their cars you've wrapped around telephone poles.
DL# seems too simplistic, but again, I don't really know.

I may be making unwarranted assumptions (but I have to since you've given us nothing else to go on ), but if I had such horrible disputes with Hertz that they placed me on a no-rent list, I don't think I'd be in any hurry to go back and give them my business even if given the chance.

Back in the 80's when I worked for NorTel (then Northern Telecom) our entire company was put on a no-rent list for all the majors at the Toronto airport.
I got around it by using a different company name (BNR - heh)

I'm surprised our project team didn't get banned by the Avis location in Schaumburg, Illinois. We always rented crappy little compact cars from that location (IIRC, next to or part of a Hyatt hotel by that humongous megamall). It seems like everybody had some sort of minor accident in them. We had a very global project team in Schaumburg, including a lot of people who had never driven in the U.S. So some of it was simply unfamiliarity with the cars...but a lot of it was just goofballs being goofballs.

[QUOTE=Delta Hog]Well, you're right, and I don't want to rent from them, but what I want to do is a priceline bid for a rental car at HNL. QUOTE]
I used Priceline at HNL several times. The most recent two trips I got Hertz. Full-size @ $23(12/05) and $26(6/06).
Priceline will most likely re-book you with another agency if Hertz still won't rent to you... (mostly likely to Avis)

as a former cust svc manager with hertz, i don't even know the details to the no-rent list. it's a safe assumption it's tied only to your DL#. it's been a few years, but the computer never stated why the driver was denied, just gave a phone# should the person feel like discussing it. some folks were quick to add their thoughts (ie "must be that dui i got") which confirms it must be linked to their DL#.

Not specifically, I assume it was by driver's license number, because there came a time after my DL changed (my address changed too) when I was able to rent from Hertz again, but I never had discussed with them the no-rent list, or how to get off of it. It just kind of happened.
