I once rented from DAL (Dallas Love Field) and returned to DFW airport, and it was an additional $56 on a two day rental. I think they may be the only rental place that serves both airports that treats it as a standard one way rental even though the two locations are less than 20 miles apart. Since I haven't been flying Southwest quite as much, this hasn't been a major problem though, so I'm really just being nitpicky I guess.

You are a genius!
That's fantastic! 5 days of rental and about $100 then would get you a roundtrip Saver award ticket! Drat, I didn't even think of that; if they bring this back, it's worth it to rent a car just to get the mileage! Good thinking!

I just learnt of this promo. I read the first several & the last several pages of this thread. It's my first time trying to get frequent flyer miles on a car rental. I have several local [aka non-airport] Hertz rentals booked for next month. I didn't see the option to do local car rentals on United page. The airport is too far for me & doesn't work for my needs any way. What's the consensus on whether it's possible to get these bonus miles on a local rental. Has any one actually received them? Thanks.

Moderator Note.
For those who participated in a brief thread earlier this week on this topic which was in the Hertz forum, it has been integrated into this forum and thread, so as to help posters in the former Hertz forum thread get the most out of the robust discussion here. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.

You would not get the 1500 United.com booking bonus if you do it a non-airport location. you would only get 500 miles per rental and an additional 250 miles if you are a chase united credit card holder.

You can, however, book on UA.com from airport-airport and then change your reservation through Hertz.com to go Airport>Local. This does not change the booking number and keeps the extra miles intact. Changing a reservation to go local>airport or local>local does change the number and doesn't post the extra miles.

Not 100% true. You can't go from a local to an airport;

I experienced the problem noted above where the PC code is somehow deleted from the record and the 1500 miles don't post. Neither UA nor Hertz cared to do anything about it.
I checked 3 future reservations and one of them had the same problem.

the promo works with one-way rentals from florida to more northern states (even ATL qualifies as being sufficiently north).
the major car rental companies generally waive one-way rental fees and offer discounted rates (around $9/day) to get cars out of florida after the winter. great for snowbirds!
