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): LAX
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): LAX
Pickup Date and Time: 7/3/18
Return Date and Time:7/9/18 or 7/10/18
Vehicle Size Preference: S6 LFDR GLS 450
Home Country (if not USA):
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/Amex Plat/Cent etc):AAA, AMEX, Costco, Emerald Club, Hertz Gold
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: 1765.14 Hertz unlimited miles. 990.56 Enterprise but only 600 miles + $0.99 additional mile. I'll be putting around 1600-1700 miles on it

This is for my vacation and pickup location could be anywhere so cal. I'm about halfway in between SAN and ONT. I'd rather not pick up at an airport to avoid the fees. Hertz seems to only have what I want at the airport though. Enterprise I talked to the exotic sales department and they can send the car to any location I want.

Sorry about that. I guess I missed the MSY return. The best I'm seeing right now is $371 with Hertz for a midsize (intermediate) car.

As far as the request you submitted via our website, can you PM us the email address you used and we'll investigate? We can also setup the rental for tracking and let you know if rates drop in the coming weeks/months.

How about a Mercedes GLS or similar with unlimited mileage from Sixt for $1,297.50?

Other possible options include (also all with unlimited mileage)?

Audi Q7 or similar
BMW X5 xDrive or similar
Mercedes GL-450 or similar
Mercedes GLC or similar

I hope you booked this already. If so, you probably got the last one left. Hertz is the only company that will do a Seward-ANC one-way and they are now sold out of anything larger than a Standard SUV now. If you haven't yet booked, time to look at backup options.

Sixt in San Diego has XFAR for 599.22 but the problem is they consider me a local renter and local renters aren't allowed to take their cars out of state. I'm going out of state.

Not seeing anything lower than that at this time. You might want to use the link below to track it in case the price drops in the coming weeks.
