Just spoke to the manager and the best he could do was 224. Its slightly reassuring to know that nobody can beat this rate because at least it means that I havent been overpaying for all these years 
.
I phoned back to tell him I would book a D for £220 and asked if he could sort me out (the last couple of cars he gave me were not great!). He promised he would so lets see what I get.

I've never been able to get a rate at Heathrow cheaper than Sunbury. Since I fly in/out every 3 weeks I have to know how! Pretty please
.Naturally I will honour the offer I mentioned - since your saving me the cost of a taxi too, happy to call it a fiver!

That 'C' is a massive saving. Are we sure it's all in?
For instance with 2002500 it works out at £161.52 plus location service charge and taxes.

An SCAR, which could be a 2-door Nissan Altima or Ford Mustang (although these are rare), is even cheaper ($633.60 / EUR 473.93 via hertz.es). You would have a very, very good chance indeed of swapping into a midsize or fullsize car via Gold Choice using that rate, provided you are a Hertz Gold member. (Unless they've run out of everything, you can guarantee it).
A minivan is $883.20 (EUR 645.94). A seven-passenger SUV is only $837.60 via hertz.es (EUR 612.59) though.
For some reason hertz.es doesn't offer the minivan or midsize car with this CDP, which is why I used hertz.ie.
These prices include LDW. If you go for the car option, you may be able to select a minivan at no charge from Gold Choice if they have one, but if you really need a minivan, book one!
Edit: all of those rates are an improvement but your CDP now gives me even better ones...

You are French with a shiny American Express card (more polished than Gold) ?
But I think you'll be with Budget /Avis as none of the Hertz in Holland (Mi, USA) are open

Would love a little help with this one, since I have a feeling the four 185301 coupons I had planned to apply aren't going to be accepted despite have the email saying that it's fine if you have the physical coupons:
Pickup 12/29 mid-afternoon SFO
Dropoff 1/2 Hyatt Regency HLE in Burlingame/SFO
Full size car
$219.99
Tried Travel Partners, Car and Driver, and GoogleGetaway (which is the best)
If SFO will take the 185301 certs I'm fine. Or even a $5/day PC would help (but none seem to work on 1-ways)
