Hello all,
Background: have President's Circle at Hertz (also have President's Club at AVIS, Platinum at Enterprise, and Executive Elite at National). Trip details: We have a trip coming up starting from LAX. There's 3 of us with possibly 4-5 large suitcases. I'm looking to rent at Hertz mid-late April 2024 from LAX (one way to SFO) because so far it seems to be giving the lowest prices (on top of giving LDW) for what they call a small SUV (Nissan Rogue or equivalent) (for some reason the Nissan Rogue is in the Mid-SUV tier at the other brands). Google suggests the Nissan Rogue can comfortably fit 5 large suitcases. My questions:

Welcome to FlyerTalk, murtabak !
1. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hert...ds-thread.html Small SUV (Q4, IFAR, 2WD versions are tagged as Q5) Ford Bronco Sport Ford Escape Honda CRV Jeep Cherokee Jeep Compass Mazda CX5 Nissan Rogue Nissan Rogue Sport Subaru Forester Volkswagen Tiguan Toyota Corolla Cross Toyota RAV4 Toyota Venza Kia Sportage Hyundai Tucson Dodge Journey (no longer being tagged as K6) If you fold the rear seats down you should have enough room for five large suitcases and still see out the rear window. If you have passengers in the rear seat, it will be a challenge. 2. President's Circle upgrades are only good for sedans up to an upgrade to a full-size car. SUV are not eligible for upgrades. That being said, your SUV reservation makes you eligible to use Hertz' Ultimate Choice service; you can either take the SUV assigned to you or look for a superior vehicle in the eligible areas of the lot. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hert...e-service.html 3. Free additional driver benefit is for spouse/domestic partner, not parent(s). I'm not renting at LAX until they move out of their current location and shared operation with Thrifty and Dollar. There are other members in this thread who feel differently. |
Dear FlyinHawaiian,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. Looks like I'll have to take the standard SUV then. Also, you mentioned you're not renting with Hertz at LAX - please would you mind sharing which service have been using or would recommend? Thank you. |
Hi all, flying into LA next week and lookign to rent a car for a day or two. I searched through the thread but I didn't find a definitive answer;
I am a PC member, and my local hertz would normally give me any car I want. For my visit next week I would love to get a convertible (or other sports car), how likely am I to get it at the LAX location? Would I have better chances renting from the downtown location? My plan B would be an EV instead, and from what I see in this thread it's not unlikely that I can get an EV. Thanks! |

But if you have pc status and a gold canopy reservation you do not have to go to the gold booth? Or do you ? So then you would hhave no chance of waiting lines?

I was here three weeks ago at around 9:30 p.m. and the Ultimate Choice selections were abysmal. They also have some exceptionally rude staff here. I've also had bad experiences with National and Sixt at LAX. Add in the bus ride, and it's just not a great place to rent a car. |
Any talk regarding further premium car replenishments this year? Some pretty sobering vehicle reports lately - it's a far cry from years past when one would arrive to see rows of RR Sports, GLE Mercs, AMGs, Porsche etc.
Nice to read a few new Mercs have landed recently. |

Booked a Convertible Shelby GT-H
I’ve rented plenty from LAX but not in the past year and with all the complaints about the location lately just wondering what to expect.
If I’ve booked the Shelby which is a guaranteed model (I’m aware nothing is guaranteed these days…), and as a PC is there any reason I would have to stand in line to get service, or should my name be on the board and I can just get of the bus, and drive away with my rental? For some reason the rental confirmation states that Gold service is not confirmed… |
