Avis wants 4,300 points for that rental, Hertz only 1100 points, miles included. Wow.
Are the Hertz points earned the same way as Avis? (I don't know Hertz's program.)

The tax thing probably should be addressed by Avis. It almost seems to be random and illegal to be charging those % based taxes if the pre-tax rental amount is 0 (and any % of 0 is 0). It might also be a system glitch?
