Dear Budget --

I have been a loyal Hertz customer for years, have strictly rented Hertz, and have always had generally good experiences. I needed a car from them for 9 days later this month, the final price was about the same as a 3 week rental from Hertz, from the same location just 3 months ago. I called Hertz booking, and the lady on the phone told me quite plainly they they inflate their rates dramatically during the Spring Break season. I asked the lady if there was a promo she could offer me to make the prices comparable, and was told "no that is impossible."

I ended up going with Budget, for the first time in my life, as I got a better car from 1/3rd the price as Hertz. Thanks. ^

Now if the fees and taxes at DFW weren't 80% of the cost of the rental that would be great.
