I don't recall seeing anyone mention that most of the car rental partners have special offers up for discounts and/or extra miles. See http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...iles/cars.html
Alamo is giving the best offer...500 miles for one day rental.

rental newbie question for Hertz: do I have to use the US Airways CDP in order to get DM miles credited and count as a hit?
Or as long as I choose US DM as the Frequent Traveler credit I'm fine?

You're fine with just choosing US DM, as long as your DM # appears on your contract receipt.

Avis and Budget non-airport locations will NOT earn miles and will NOT count as a hit. Exceptions may exist, but this is the norm for these two brands. See the note at the bottom of this page:

Non-airport locations for other participating brands should be fine.

has anybody under 25 had any success in getting the surcharge removed for renting/returning at the same time? I'm guessing not, but since I'm not going to be driving the car it seems like it's possible depending on the agent. This seems like an easy way to get some hits, but the $15 surcharge kinda kills the value of it for me. I'm looking at Hertz HLE locations

Did you try this to waive the fee?
Hertz Now Rents to 20 Year Olds! Save Up to $25 a Day
The terms say you can't combine with any other certificate, voucher, offer or promotion but I'd think it would combine with a CDP.

Same question (though, sadly, I'm over 25) Can my wife rent the car, but I pay for it with my CC and have my DM number on the contract?

Glad the underage waiver coupon is extended till Jan/2012, it was originally set to expire at the end of this month.

ABE (Allentown,Pa Airport) a car can be had for $19.68 - 20.29 but then theres the gas to get out there, wasnt too bad last year as I was able to do 5 all at once, which is a no-go this year so getting to DT NYC is alot easier and cheaper, and I have 4 rentals anyway so just short by 2

Yes I stopped in at my local Hertz HLE and had them pull up my reservation for this weekend. They saw my AMEX Plat CDP and the PC144314 (underage waiver) coupon and said should be no problem. Will know for sure on Friday. They will also allow me to "rent" without being present or taking car off the lot from second rental onwards, since #1 Club Gold has everything on file. Came out to be $23 a/i. I've booked, for me and my gf, 6 weekend one-day rentals each from this weekend on all the way to end of October for this rate.

Anyone who lives in Orange County CA, you can rent the cheapest car with weekend rate of $22.72 including taxes per day. Need to pick up from John Wayne Airport.
Can I use a coupon code for this?
If i take car out in the morning on Saturday and return in the late afternoon or evening, is it count as One day and I will receive a hit?

On the website it will still show the Age Differential fee after you add in the PC, the fee is only taken off either when you go get the car or when they close the rental agreement, so I'm told.
