xyzzy: have you actually been successful in avoiding SFO's $12 fee with this technique, or is this just theoretical at SFO?

I think the $12 fee is also funding the airport train system and maybe even the rental car center as well, so I doubt if it will be going away when they replace the busses with the train.

I've done this at other places and not paid the extra tax. I'm pretty sure it was this way at SFO a couple of months ago (when the new Hertz site was optional). Checking things at the Hertz site today it looks like you can't get around this at SFO now. Bummer.
