Spouse as additional driver for free in the UK?
I'm looking to rent in the UK and Raffles thinks that an additional (spouse) driver should be free (or at least was free) for Gold Plus members. I know I have managed this before and printed out something to show my local very small office, but I can't now find anything except for rentals in the USA.

Can anyone help with a link?

That'll do fine. I spent ages reading FAQs and doing searches. Clearly you are better at it than I am! Thank you.

The link to confirm this is now https://www.hertz.co.uk/rentacar/mis...U_GPR_FAQs.jsp.

However.... I have recently booked a car for the UK from Australia. I had a few problems and had to speak to an agent, who told me that I wasn't entitled to a free additional driver for an Australian booking. Is she correct?

Looking into this a bit more..... free additional driver is a benefit of Hertz Gold Plus membership both in the UK and in Australia. So I can't see how a booking from Australia for the UK or vice versa could not include a free additional (spouse) driver. Am I missing anything?

Probably just the agent trying to upsell you the add driver fee
