Hertz UK vs Hertz US
Hi
I'm looking for a way to get from the airport to my destination (~4hr drive) and have been looking at the prices of renting a car.
It would be a one-way rental, in state. I am from the UK, so went onto the UK site of Hertz which quotes me about $50 if I pay when I get there. There is no mention of a one-way fee, and it is unlimited mileage.
When I checked on the US website, it quotes me over $200.
Does this mean that even if I book on the UK site, I'm going to get stung for $150 charge when I turn up? If so, I might as well fly (it'll be cheaper!) or if it lets me book it for $50, is that the price I pay when I get there?
