Hertz USA/UK price difference (US booking)
I know there have been quite a few topics but none seem to be very conclusive about the price difference between the UK and the US website for a booking in the US. I'm looking at a one-way reservation, 1 day, and I'm quoted $100-ish on the US website, but only $50 on the UK website. Additionally, the UK website also includes LDW and LIS, making it a much sweeter deal. I'm also able to change the residency on the last booking step from UK to USA without affecting the rate. My question is whether there can/will be some problems with doing this? I am looking at the pay later option, as that rate is quoted in USD and only marginally more expensive than the pay now rate.I looked through all the terms I could find on the last step of making a booking, and didn't see any restrictions on using the UK website for a US rental as a US resident. Will Hertz still honor the LDW and LIS? Since LDW is included I wouldn't be covered under my CC, and I definitely don't want to be left out without coverage; I don't own a car so I have no other insurance that would cover me either.

There is no issue booking on the UK site and getting the better rate
Once upon a time many years ago, the website dropdown did say "country of residence" but it hasn't done so for a long while
The inclusion of LDW and LIS makes in the base rate makes points bookings really appealing to me too
