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.

I got a price of $ 200.xx from hertz, using a AUAWU CDP. The PC is not working, so will get that added later..

and this rate includes LDW worth $ 105.xx and LIS worth 69.75.. so effectively, this rate is $ 5 a day.. I dunno how this has happened, but it has

Hi

I am in the Uk and looking to book a car for a week as follows in USA:

Pickup Location: MIAMI International Airport
Dropoff Location: same
Pickup Date and Time: December 27 @ 12 noon
Return Date and Time: January 3 @ 12 noon
Vehicle Size Preference: Full Size
Memberships: Platinum Amex



The hertz website offered me the above for $236 (pay at location) or £132 GBP (approx $215 prepaid)

This all seems quite a good deal. Are there any vouchers tor coupons that may work over the Xmas holiday period to get a small extra discount ?

Thanks in advance

Mark

That is a *very* good deal--especially over Xmas. I would jump on it ASAP. As discussed before, international (non-US) customers can sometimes get much better deals renting in the US by specifying their home country and looking for deals that way.

Pickup Date and Time: November 7, 2012 @ 10AM
Return Date and Time: November 14, 2012 @ 10AM
Vehicle Size Preference: Any
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): None

The best I got is $168.82 and $290.50, both with code a 20% off CDP and PC144314 to waive underage fee.

Can I do better?
For the first (LAX-LAX) rental, use CDW 165385 (Delta Frequent Program Members) and PC 166401 (which waives the underage fee as well as 144314), for a rate of $163.28.

For LAX-SFO, not seeing anything better than you already found with Hertz, but you can get a rate of $137.80 with Alamo for that rental if you are a member of (or sign up for free) Korean Airlines Skypass program.

Not seeing anything better than what you already found right now. I'd go with it.

As for Sirius, it's possible that location doesn't have any cars with it, but you can always request it at the counter and see.
