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 and drop off Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): salt lake city airport, UT
Pickup Date and Time: June 29th, 10 am
Return Date and Time: July 3rd, in the afternoons. explained later.
Vehicle Size Preference: standard
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/etc):
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: $435

Preferably I want to return the car at 4 or 5 pm cause the flight back is at 10pm, but that will always quote me a weekly rate which is way higher than the daily rates if I return at noon. I'm thinking if I book it with 12pm return but actually return at 5pm, would I be charged an extra day or would the whole thing become a weekly rental? If it's latter then I'd better adjust my schedule to get back early at noon I guess.

Btw, I have a CDP for amex plat card from my friend, but I only have PRG, no plat, is there a high chance that they need to see the card? what if they asked and I don't have it?

TIA, any info is greatly appreciated!

Thank you. I will stick with my quote for a larger car for 6 euro more. "My problem" , as you state, is trying to see if there is a way to reduce the drop-off charge. But thanks a lot for your help. Also for the suggestion to try other countries websites


I can pick up at any location including the airport but did not see much difference in rates. Am I wrong?

Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): MCO
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode):
Pickup Date and Time: Sep. 21 - 2018 4 PM
Return Date and Time: Sep. 27 - 2018 4 PM
Vehicle Size Preference: Stingray PSAR
Home Country (if not USA): Denmark
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/Amex Plat/Cent etc): SAS Eurobonus, Delta, Hertz 5*
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: Hertz UK 2397 $ (incl. LDW & LIS insurances, all taxes and fees)
Used MasterCard CDP, and PC 192021

I did find the same car, pick-up/drop-off FLL from Sep. 13 to Sep. 27 for only 1280$ (same conditions), but I'm not sure we can have our luggage under the targa roof the full trip, which is why I'm looking to have the car only in Orlando, where we don't need to drive around with our luggage all the time.

Appreciate any help possible for finding a cheaper rate. I currently have a Challenger R/T booked for the same time in MCO, for 537$, but would like to upgrade to the Stingray, if the price is right
