The whole premise of CLEAR has never really made sense to me - they bill it as biometrics, but really it's just a way to pay to bypass the line. But at least when it was to get past TSA it wasn't like the airline was charging me extra - which is what Hertz is seemingly doing here...

Do you have the same beef with Fastpass (toll transponder) lanes at airport parking garages? You have to pay into a 3rd party system to take advantage of that too.

This is a free additional benefit of CLEAR courtesy of Hertz.
