What in the actual.....

Priced on hertz.com today, 4-day rental at SJU 1/23/24-1/27/24. Here are the quotes:

549/day 2740 total for Economy, Compact, or Midsize.

849/day 4211 total for Standard or Luxury.

WHAT IN THE WORLD. Who would pay enough for a car purchase for a 4-day rental??? What is possibly going on here?

I got something else on orbitz for 250 total, 4 days.

Do you qualify for use of any discount CDPs with Hertz? This is the quote I just got using my alma mater's CDP:

Maybe, but my point is not whether I can find a better or cheaper way. My point is how in the world are those the prices on the front page? What can explain or justify that?

Who can say? Might be a computer glitch, or maybe they are nearly sold out, but forced to honor contract rates.

Just one of life's imponderables.
