I find the Hertz awards to be the best, as I need to rent about 8 to 10 weeks per year mainly LAX, SFO, MCO, DEN, PHX at peak times per year. I regularly get 10 to 15 cents per point in value and always get the Premium (well what they consider Premium) cars for just the taxes and exhorbiant fees. Last year I bought the large Hertz points package on Daily Getaways for <5 cents per so having 4400 points per year from e-Rewards keeps the costs down and the points balance up. Airline miles seem to be a poor value unless topping off an account is necessary, and much better than the hotel points award. But, they're "free" so no big deal.
