#HertzSuperStart - NEW Hertz Wi-Fi device - MCO
I recently made a reservation at Hertz MCO and there was a banner on the website showing #HertzSuperStart presents Free Mobile Wi-Fi but I am getting conflicting information as to whether it is available at MCO or not. I have an email for Hertz MCO but my emails are being returned.
This link says it is - https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/renta...rtz-connect-uk
Does anyone here know if this is available at MCO?

I have to admit that that is pretty clear cut - which is more than I can say for the Hertz website, luckily I took 2 screenshots of that web page and I (hopefully) have attached them- it is it the one I am seeing now
(Sorry, struggling to attach screenshots!)
Not sure why the screenshots aren't working but I have found the page again and here is the text of it -

The site I see (as a US renter) is here: https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/renta...-hertz-connect
"#HertzSuperStart presents Free Mobile Wi-Fi with the NEW Hertz Connect device for Gold Plus Rewards members who rent in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. "

Yes, this is available and is included assuming you make a prepaid reservation via the Hertz UK site that is at least Ł350 or $500 if you pay at the location and you are logged in as a Gold member. Unless you meet all of these conditions, all bets are off.

ThIs scheme baffles me.
The advert says - If you're worried about "Spotty cell service", well I don't see how this device will help.
The hertz wifi device relies on exactly the same comms masts as your mobile phone, so if you're in an area with poor 4G coverage (and there are huge parts of the UK where that is true) then the hertz device won't help.
Furthermore. The target marketing is way off. It's getting strongly promoted in the UK to European customers. As all European phones can roam across the whole EU at no additional charge, there's no point getting an additional device. The only target market that seems to makes sense is for customers from a different continent, so don't get free roaming.
