I need to rent a car for only two days in oct, so PC 924932 doesn't apply. It seems the $20 off code expires sept. 30. Anyone have any other codes for my time of travel? Thanks!

Try the FRDM rate code. Combined with CDP 240 (AAA), I booked a G in PHL in October for 31.50/weekend day. An F was 24.74/day. Good luck!

Thanks! I found a compact for $23.40, so total was $65.49 for two days.

Can Somebody help a newbie to Hertz?
 

I just made a reservation using PC 924932 and CDP 240 for Atlanta Hartsfield (Midsize car) from 10/2 (arriving 10am) - 10/5 (returning 4pm).

The rate came back at 2 days @ 23.35 and 2 days @ 35.03.

The total Approximate Rental Charge is $116.24

Does this include the free rental day?

Do I have to show them the printout of the hertz special coupon for this free day?

Can somebody explain what is the process to get the best rate and what I need to show?

Finally, will I have problems booking using the above codes if I am new and don't have backup showing how I got the codes.

Thanks in advance.

Anthony, you should be able to do the math here.
23.35 x 2 days = 46.70
35.03 x 2 days = 70.06
TOTAL = $116.76

On top of that total, you are likely to have airport surcharges and taxes so I'd say yes, the coupon has been applied.

The only thing you'll want to have is a printout of the confirmation e-mail showing the approximate total. It should automatically be applied though I discovered when returning a car at Dulles last weekend that it didn't happen -- the guy said "$49?" and I said "No, $29" and showed him my e-mail confirmation. That was all that I needed to do.

Clarification....I am a moron. Please walk me through this....
 

I understand your point about the math. I agree the total for 4 days equals $116 + taxes & surcharges.

My questions are:

The first post in this thread states "PC 924932 - free day on minimum 2 day rental.

So, the Hertz rate is showing a bill for 4 days. The promotion code "924932" states that I should receive 1 free day.

So, actual charges be for 3 days?

I understand about showing them the receipt but am VERY confused as to what I should expect to pay for this reservation:

Option A) $116 + misc charges [end of story]
Option B) $116 + misc charges less one day rental [so maybe $90 + charges]
Option C) ??????

Thanks for walking me through this. I know that I am being thick headed.

I think you're getting confused here because the base rate that noah calculated - $116.76 is so close to the approximate rental charge - $116.24 (base rate + taxes/fees = approximate rental charge) on your reservation. It just so happens in your case that the value of your free day rental coupon is less than a one dollar difference than the taxes/fees that is tacked on to your base rate.

An easy way to prove this to yourself would be the check the rate of your reservation without using your PC. Your approximate rental charge will probably end up $140+.

Hope this helps

Thank you both (Noah & JC) for helping me understand. Got it!
 

Anyone see any new codes?

Guess that won't work.

I've had much better luck in Europe with Avis and the USC Marshall school of Business discount (40%). As much as I like to use Hertz when possible, check out Avis when in Europe. Generally they all have similar fleets.

Try the following CDP numbers: 504335 or 706900 the latter seems to be the best! or try www.holidayautos.co.uk, car rental broker here in the UK.

Let us know how you get on

PC 955091 still works. However, it's apparently only for weekend rentals.

The website says:
http://www.hertz.com/special_07/index.jsp (under #1 Club Gold Member Offers, after you log in)

which may be different from the previous T&Cs for this code? (See page 1 of this thread.)
