Please follow this format when posting your request:
Additionally, you can save time by having AutoSlash generate a quote for you up-front by clicking here, or if you've already got a rental booked, just click here to enter your info and AutoSlash will check to see if a lower rate is available.
If you're looking for a specialty vehicle from Hertz (something from the Prestige/Adrenaline/Green Collections), it is helpful if you can specify the four-letter car size code (i.e. ICAR, MVAR, etc.) shown on the Hertz website for the specific vehicle you're looking for.

Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode):HNL
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode):HNL
Pickup Date and Time: 06/21/2016
Return Date and Time: 07/05/2016
Vehicle Size Preference: Compact works, but I'd prefer mid- or full-size
Home Country (if not USA):
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/Amex Plat/Cent etc): Only membership is Choice Hotels. (I have had UA and AA ffp in the past, but I suspect they're dead)
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise:Hertz Gold $1029 for a compact; Full is $1079
Edit: Just entered a code from MouseSavers which took it down to $699 for a full. It's bad that I have to go with an outside agency to get a better rate than my Gold does
It's been years since I've been able to work deals competitively and none of the codes I've used in the past work now. Not to mention, working 6-7 days a week has me beat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We can also offer you a Premium car with Avis for $554.18. You can click here to book that option.
Note that you didn't specify a pickup or return time in your post so I set both for Noon, but you can click on the Change your search link on the search results page to adjust the times to your needs.
Also note that Hertz Gold is a frequent renter program--not a discount program. The main purpose of it is to help speed you on your way as opposed to providing you with discounted rates. It's really two separate things.
