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.

It looks like Dollar/Thrifty are a lot less expensive at around 122 GBP for an Economy car (Seat Ibiza or similar model).
