Found price of $212 on Hertz for Compact. I have a $25 off coupon (PC 179550) but it does not show in the quote so that should bring the total to $187.
Can anyone beat this rate? Anyone knows what the LDW goes for? I don't want any hassles when I drop off the car. My first time in Europe. Thx.

I reserved a car with a rent-a-wreck for this trip, but it'd be great to stick to Hertz. I'm spending 3 days with my parents in between trips, and I'm not going to ask them to pick me up from the airport in the middle of the night. I'm not planning on driving much. I'll drive the 45 miles to the house from EWR, and run an errand or two in the burbs.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Note those prices are without LDW. We are not really equipped to factor in the price of LDW. You can generally find the price of LDW on the Hertz site, though, and you can generally assume it's within a few dollars per day for other agencies in the area. It is often also listed in the "Rules & Information" tab of the search results in the above link, which accesses the raw text as submitted by the rental agencies to the travel agency GDS systems.
If you can find the 4-letter ACRISS code on Hertz's site for the kind of "small, fun car" you're interested in (i.e. PDAR, LSAR, etc.), we can search that, too. Also, it helps us greatly if you can include the ZIP code in your request, as that saves us the step of having to Google Map the town, zoom in, and locate the ZIP code of a sample address. In your case, that's 48336.

Coverage in Europe is probably worth an entire thread of discussion all on its own. You can generally find the price of LDW on the Hertz site, though, and you can generally assume it's within a few dollars per day for other agencies in the area. It is often also listed in the "Rules & Information" tab of the search results in the above link, which accesses the raw text as submitted by the rental agencies to the travel agency GDS systems.
If a PC doesn't lower your reserved rate, it probably won't be applied. Don't count on that $25 coupon actually being applied to your rental. If it does, it's icing on the cake. (Just in case, I've applied it to the Hertz search link above.)

I had to figure out for myself that you weren't tracking my reservations.
Unfortunately, this approach seriously damages your credibility and makes me less likely to trust you in the future. You decided not to tell people that tracking isn't working or taking tracking requests off your website. You just encourage people to make tracking requests and then ignore them.

If you can drive a stick, a lot more options open up at better prices.

We wouldn't recommend Fox due to a high number of customer complaints, but for less than Fox, you can do Alamo ($234) or, for just a few dollars more than that ($248), you can do National (a top-tier company more along the lines of Hertz and Avis).
