Free rental day requires 3 days?

Hello!

I have small amount of reward point that I'm planning to transfer to Hertz Gold points this month, resulting in 1000 Gold Reward Points with Hertz on my account. I was hoping to use them for one-day rental in Salerno, Italy. Before transfer I did my research on Hertz website, but I'm getting only "Call to Book" buttons next to the vehicles. OK, not a big deal, I'll call to inquire then. First of the bat, agent informed me that she can't check availability since my account (at the moment) has no points. Then she found the way, but then informed me that points can be used only on lowest prepaid rate, and that lowest prepaid rate has 3-day minimum requirement, so I would need to book 3-days.

So in essence, I can't book one day rental with points??? Is this normal with Hertz points?

I searched through T&C, and did not see any limitations in terms of "lowest rate" or "number of days" or anything even remotely similar. Am I missing something?
