Also, it is worth noting that it is not Chase who will process the CDW claim. It is a 3rd party insurance company (eclaimsline.com IIRC). I don't think they even understand (or care) about Hertz CDP.

Technically speaking, I don't think the CDP terms are the part of "auto rental agreement". That being said, if this is your concern, I would use AMEX Plat when I book the car. Then, when I return the car, if there is no incident, I would ask the rep to charge the total to my CSR instead.

If you reserve with the Amex Platinum CDP you can see the 4-hour grace period allowance right on Hertz's website. For example, if you use any random CDP and book a rental for 1 day and 4 hours, you will get charged for 2 days. If, however, you then change the CDP to the Amex Platinum CDP, the same duration will only reflect a 1-day rental due to the Amex Platinum 4-hour grace period.
I would assume if you have a corporate CDP that has a similar benefit, you would see the same thing in a test booking. If not, then you only get the standard 29 minute grace period.

As I understand it, there is no four-hour rule outside the US. As a Platinum, I discovered this at LHR a couple of years ago and since then make sure I return within the regular time limit.

Frequently a two-day weekend rental is basically the same price as a one-day rental so the benefit is limited.

AMEX Platinum CDP - do I have to pay with Amex Platinum?
Hi,
Do I have to pay with the Amex Platinum in order to use the Amex Platinum CDP, or is it enough to just show it? I have a credit card that has no foreign exchange fees so would prefer to pay with that instead of my Amex Platinum.
Thanks!

You probably don't even need to show it. As long as you have the card you are eligible to use the CDP. You definitely don't need to use it for the rental, and most times they won't even ask to see it.

The Platinum CardŽ Member must use the designated program CDP #211762 at the time of reservation and pay for the Hertz rental with his or her Platinum Card to receive the following benefits from Hertz
https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/...EXPlatinum.jsp
So technically, yes we know CDP will work with any card, especially with Gold/5*/PC and Ultimate Choice locations, when you don't even have to visit the counter, however T&C explicitly say you must pay with it to receive benefits.

I have Amex Plat and utilizing the 4 hour grace period. I prefer to pay with my Barclay Arrival card to reimburse me the rental cost through the travel credit. Does anyone know if this will nullify the 4 hour grace period? From what I have been reading, since we are using the bypass counter I should be fine?
