Tried applying this PC for an upcoming rental, and there must be something busted in the Hertz system:

Nissan Versa
Without PC: $33.24 / weekend day
With PC: $281.24 / weekend day

Other car classes are similar in magnitude of price jump when applying the PC.


I thought this coupon was supposed to SAVE me money?!?!

I tried it with several different CDPs, including two from my employer and the UA frequent flier CDP (the PC didn't say it had to be used with a particular CDP). All give the same result.
The PC isn't broken per se, but not all of them give good results for every rental. I tried PC 165944 you mentioned and it actually took $35 off an 8-day rental I tested. However a better PC for this rental was 163623 which took $58 off. You need to try different codes to see what works best.
