Hey Guys,
I’m a hertz presidents circle - through an airline match.
Im looking for a rental car from and to OGG on 7th December 18 12:00 to 13 December 18 12:00
i am a UK resident
i have Flying Blue Plat discount
i have IHG spire discount
i have Amex Plat discount
my preference is a convertible car but if the price is prohibitive I’ll just go with any old car.
So so far I’ve been quoted ~£450 for convertible and £311 for the cheapest directly from Hertz. Using a site like rental cars this goes down to £350 and £280 retrospectively (still Hertz)
looking forward to some help!
thanks.

Any guru out there who can find something better? Have tried Marriott etc, but end up always getting EUR1,500+. Even with the below FlyingBlue Gold codes, if I log in, the rate shoots to over EUR1,500

I know it's the "Holiday" season but the prices for rental are crazy - I remember my last year rental for similar period and similar length was less than $900 for a SUV! So anyone who loves the challenge please help! I can get a pickup with Sixt for around $1000 but it will only work if the trunk part is closed somewhat. We are 2 adults and 3 kids (from 10-13).

Looking for good rate from PBI (Palm Beach airport)
Rates seem unusually high and I've tried all sorts of coupon code combinations, and other rental agencies.
I'm flexible on the start date of the rental, need the car for 1 week, but for the right rate would keep for 2 weeks.
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): PBI
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): PBI
Pickup Date and Time: Flexible - could be as early as tonight 08/07/2018 - time is best 11 P.M. or later.
Return Date and Time: Flexible - need the car for at least 1 week, would keep for 2 if a good rate, or if it yielded a better rate - time is best 11 P.M. or later
Vehicle Size Preference: Intermediate - but flexible on this too
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/etc): USAA, Government (leisure), 5* Gold Member. I have FF numbers for Southwest, JetBlue, American, etc., Visa, Mastercard, CapitalOne
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: $180 including taxes and fees, pay at counter (I believe it was with Budget - would prefer to use Hertz because we're 5* Gold Members)
Thank you!
