Thank you for your offer to answer our questions! I will be renting in southern california and was wondering what makes and models you generally rent in the minivan category? I notice that you have been moving away from the Ford offerings.

Thank you.

Minivans include:
Dodge Grand Caravan
Chrysler Town and Country
Hyundai Entourage
Ford Freestar
Toyota Sienna
Chevrolet Uplander
Kia Sedona

These are the ones I see most often.

It's not fair that the CSR doesn't get commission for Gold rentals.

Here is a ?

What is the deal with the Y cars being one car class upgrades? F to YF in a upgrade in the current class, not a class upgrade...

Also why are you guys so protective of 300's (V6) and Charger (V6)? I read and experience that they are reluctant to put people in those instead try to charge for an upgrade...even though it is a YF vehicle. As a 5* I have had to take less of a car when a 300 V6 is there with keys in hand unless I pay to upgrade into it..

F and YF are two totally different classes. A free upgrade from an F to YF is legitiment. 300's and Chargers are nice cars... They are in the YF group which means Hertz wants to make more revenue on them so they are usually used for paid upgrades.

The 25.00/day upgrade looks good on the CSR's behalf but she will not make commission on it.

OK, what do you guys make commission on, so I can negotiate better, then?

If this has been asked, sorry.

A rep at MKE and I are good friends; he gave me a STS last year for $5/day when he coulda got at least $25 on a C res.

Two more:

Why can't Prestige vehicles be rented one-way, and what's the average drop-off fee for hem?

Are you more inclined to give "sweet" upgrades if a customer writes a letter of commendation for their service (I have done this before) to the branch manager?

Thanks.

I've been able to rent Prestige cars one way. Usually for booking it has to be from Prestige rental place to Prestige rental place.

Question Secret mileage limit?

Thanks. I have one.

Is unlimited miles really that? Or is it like broadband access, it's unlimited until you go over some sort of invisible limit and then the provider wants to yank access?

I know a friend of mine rented from Alamo back in 2002 on his honeymoon and put on 9000 miles in a three week period driving around the western states from Arizona to Washington state. He wasn't banned from life from Alamo at least.

I usually don't put on a lot of miles on my rentals and I am a Gold member so that history is probably available to agents, just wondering if I decided to rent a car with unlimited miles for two weeks and drive it coast-to-coast and back, what would be the ramifications, if any.

Thanks.

I have a question, why has the Corvette doubled in price (weekend rental) and now includes only 100 miles/day? Last month I rented at SFO and the daily was ~$100/day with unlimited mileage (I am Gold); for the second weekend of September the rate is $240-ish at LAX, SFO and SAN - even after my usual discount and a PC code. So disappointed.

Thanks!
