Glad it worked out for you,

I did notice something interesting today; I booked a one-way from Manhattan to JFK for later this month and noticed the one-way fee was not appearing; it looks like prices have reverted back to their normal rates. I confirmed this by booking a few more one-ways and also changing an existing one. In all cases, there was no one-way fee (and it dropped off my existing reservation, once I modified it).

I wonder if the powers that be saw the light and listened to the negative feedback and rolled back the fee.

I'm taking screenshots of my reservations showing the lower rates, just in case...

11/9 Update - Got the email confirmation that my one-way to JFK was ready for pickup, but when I went to the garage, the valet said there were no Hertz cars. So, I called Customer Care and canceled my reservation and hopped in a cab. Another free ride!
