I need to rent a car for only two days in oct, so PC 924932 doesn't apply. It seems the $20 off code expires sept. 30. Anyone have any other codes for my time of travel? Thanks!

The rate came back at 2 days @ 23.35 and 2 days @ 35.03.
The total Approximate Rental Charge is $116.24
Does this include the free rental day?
Do I have to show them the printout of the hertz special coupon for this free day?
Can somebody explain what is the process to get the best rate and what I need to show?
Finally, will I have problems booking using the above codes if I am new and don't have backup showing how I got the codes.
Thanks in advance.

Anthony, you should be able to do the math here.
23.35 x 2 days = 46.70
35.03 x 2 days = 70.06
TOTAL = $116.76
On top of that total, you are likely to have airport surcharges and taxes so I'd say yes, the coupon has been applied.
The only thing you'll want to have is a printout of the confirmation e-mail showing the approximate total. It should automatically be applied though I discovered when returning a car at Dulles last weekend that it didn't happen -- the guy said "$49?" and I said "No, $29" and showed him my e-mail confirmation. That was all that I needed to do.
I think you're getting confused here because the base rate that noah calculated - $116.76 is so close to the approximate rental charge - $116.24 (base rate + taxes/fees = approximate rental charge) on your reservation. It just so happens in your case that the value of your free day rental coupon is less than a one dollar difference than the taxes/fees that is tacked on to your base rate.
An easy way to prove this to yourself would be the check the rate of your reservation without using your PC. Your approximate rental charge will probably end up $140+.
Thank you both (Noah & JC) for helping me understand. Got it!

Anyone with any current codes for Europe (Spain)? I am in Mallorca (PMI) in mid-November for a week. The best rates I can confirm for an automatic 4 door is about €340 -- agent tells me that is a 30% off rate too. I can get abit better rate with SIXT for a confirmed automatic -- but, I had drama at that airport a few years ago when a confirmed automatic tran. and I was given a manual car anyway. Never had troubles with HERTZ.

I've had much better luck in Europe with Avis and the USC Marshall school of Business discount (40%). As much as I like to use Hertz when possible, check out Avis when in Europe. Generally they all have similar fleets.

Try the following CDP numbers: 504335 or 706900 the latter seems to be the best! or try www.holidayautos.co.uk, car rental broker here in the UK.

Hello Olivetti -
Those codes gave a 20% discount, but I already had a 30% discount so they didnt seem to help. I tried your holidayautos and the rate was wonderful about €200 -- saves about €150 -- are they fairly reliable rental service? I have no experience with them -- but the importance of an automatic is important to this Yankee!
