While we work through this, you may encounter some glitches, and it's probably best to consider AutoSlash as an "assistant" in helping you find the best rate rather than the be-all-end-all solution. (Our aim is to eventually be that solution so that you don't have to do any work at all!)

For "tracked" reservations (ones you've booked elsewhere but have submitted for tracking), I'll make a few notes about what we are currently doing so you can best adapt your use of that function:

-We try but are a long way from 100% at being able to factor in any membership affiliations you included on your original "tracked" reservation
-We prioritize our offers based on an admittedly-subjective ranking of the rental companies. Generally, if you had booked with Hertz, you wouldn't get offered a lower rate with Enterprise, but you would if we found a lower rate with National or Avis. If you had booked with Payless, we'd send you the cheapest rate from any other company.
-Once we send you an email alerting you of a lower price, we don't really have a way of knowing whether you took advantage of it, so our current practice is to not send any further emails. Thus, if you want to continue tracking for further price drops after you rebook, you'll need to submit another tracking request for your new confirmation details and new price.

It's far from a perfect system, but it at least allows us to provide some type of service while we work towards a new, more comprehensive service where we hope to provide all of the features that FTers want.

When we do try to rebook a Hertz reservation at a lower rate without changing any details, we often find the need to change something (such as adjusting the time slightly) or rebook a different car class and then go back and rebook to the original car class. It's VERY tedious and cumbersome.



In theory, unchecking the checkbox should work, and occasionally it does, but more often than not, you need to play with the reservation a bit as indicated above to get the lower price to "stick."
