Now I have a hertz gold account and it knows im 23 and it was letting me select Adrenalin cars like SS camaro. Obviously for a few hundred dollars this is worth it to me. I mean it was barley more than the standard U class V6 camaro.
$313 for camaro for May 6th-11, maybe I can get that lower.
$365 for Camaro SS for same time frame.
Now, is it OK to use this generic "travel and incentives" CDP to get rid of the underage fee? Also, is this how im able to rent an adrinalin car? Will I be able to add my brother as a driver? We are both AAA members so there technically should be no fee.
Thanks!
Edit: dont ever use Hertz chat, they are brain dead idiots that simply parrot the website. I literally could do their job with zero experience.
Hopefully I can answer your questions as I just did what you're trying to do... The CDP you're using overrides the age limit online but they will downgrade you in person, due to a timing error I was bumped from an economy car to a Mercedes SL550, but they then downgraded me to a Mustang since I'm not 25 (I think it may be an insurance issue). Unlike you I few into Vegas and then drove to the Grand Canyon. Using the corporate CDP you will be asked to show a corporate ID and state your company name.
So you may have issues. You may be able to book in advanced print out the paperwork and tell them you're in a rush and they will simply price match it- but no promises. It's getting harder and harder to wave the underage fee.
