Driver is 35 with rental insurance thru cc
Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): FSD, Sioux Falls Regional (closest to)
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode):
Pickup Date and Time: 01/10/13 (9:00am)
Return Date and Time: 01/20/13 (9:00am)
Vehicle Size Preference: Economy (hoping to get upgraded)
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/etc): AAA, USAA, DL, Hilton Honors, Hertz #1 Club
Best Price you've found, Hertz: $239.19 with AAA
I got pay-now rates of $239.17 with the AAA and USAA CDPs (no PC) If you don't want to use a pay-now rate, give PC# 174692 a shot; it got me a rate of $250 and change with the AAA CDP. I thought it expired but the system is still accepting it, which is especially odd since the location is a franchise.

If you do choose to use the PC, you might want to print out your confirmation with the rate detail and bring it with you in case they have any questions.
