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

By checking prices again yesterday for the Challenger R/T, I got the price down from 537$ to 281$
It pays off a lot to re-check the prices!

Brussels 9-12 November
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): BRU
Pickup Date and Time: 9 November 18 0900
Return Date and Time: 12 November 18 0900
Vehicle Size Preference: Economy/Lowest Price
Memberships (AAA/USAA/airline FFP/Amex Plat/Cent etc): Hertz Gold 5-Star
Best Price you've found, Hertz: Euro 74.79
It's telling me the 15 percent Hertz discount on international rentals is not available. I don't know why. It appears you pay a lot of fees at the airport, so anyone who is familiar with renting a car in Brussels, any suggestions such as renting off-airport would be appreciated. I'm attending Veteran's Day events in Mons and the surrounding area, so just need a simple 'get me where I need to go' car.

2 Nov - 5 Nov IAD to PIT one-way
Halp ... thanks
I have points with Avis but it looks like they won't accept them on a one-way drop; and Hertz is just unreasonably expensive (also have points, however).
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): IAD
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): PIT

Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: Avis @ $124 but 0.35 / mile; Hertz $338 unlimited mileage. I feel like I'm in a crazy house.
