Does anyone have any discount code for hertz /avis/budget car rental for PLZ to CPT for July 2017.
Lowest is $23 USD per day but not with the above trusted rental dealers.

So at the very least, consider Avis instead of Hertz and/or consider buying full coverage (including excess at the counter). On a 5-day rental at JNB, Avis charges me only $83 to add full coverage (including excess, including tire & windshield), and that seemed a much better deal to me than risking being charged hundreds for tiny "wear and tear" kinds of things, which seems to be a common thing in South Africa.
Meanwhile, for discount codes, have you tried typical airline discount codes? For Avis (and in some cases Budget), you can find them through here:
in that the link for each airline's promotion typically also gives that airline's discount code.
Just because an independent car rental location is affiliated with someone like Hertz, that doesn't mean they can be "trusted" IMHO the way a corporate Hertz location might be able to be "trusted".
