If they don't want to make it available on one-way rentals, they could at least have the courtesy to be honest!

Anyway, I've got the car reserved as a non-one-way rental (returning to the same location). I can always call Hertz after I pick it up and claim that my plans have changed, but I can't help wondering if they would actually try to "pull" the NeverLost if I were to call now.

Anyone done this?

Sounds like all of their cars with Neverlost need to be returned to the rental location. My guess is if you end up returning it elsewhere you will be charged a rate much higher than the one-way rental rate.
