I don't do pure "rental runs", but I will confess to renting a car from my Hertz HLE to go to the airport when a cab would cost roughly the same...

Oh, this is interesting. Doing this has never occurred to me. I'm going to check this out.

OK, I checked this out.

Sure enough, it's actually cheaper for me to rent a car from my Hertz HLE and drive to the airport than it is to take a taxi. It's $24 vs. $60. I'd have the car for up to 24 hours.... It's just a matter of the added hassle right as I'm getting ready to go on the road again...
