HERTZ Car Rental Discount Code & Coupons(50% OFF/Free #1 Gold/$40 off)

Is the unlimited km feature location specific?
I'm trying to book for a week from Deer Lake Airport in Newfoundland. I can only get 100km free per day + $0.14 per extra km, using the 1757580 corporate code.

Someone has suggested priceline as well, but I can't get a good price on that site either...

Thanks ultichic, I'll think about that.

That X443030 code didn't work for me though... maybe it's a unique code?

Hertz used to have competitive rates but I find now have higher than average rates. I rented one last weekend (because I had an excellent rate code from travelzoo that was also posted here) and the agent agreed with me - couldn't understand why people still rent with Hertz when it is so expensive. Granted the airport location is opened 24hrs, service is satisfactory and yes they have a green collection and some japanese makes but your reservation does not guarantee that you get the car you want.

ANYWAY...my posting is to tell you this: from what the agent tells me, in case of accidents and you do not take Hertz's liability coverage/LDW, Hertz DOES NOT deal with credit card company insurance nor your regular auto insurance company.

This means that: Hertz will bill YOU directly for the damages and YOU have to sort it out with the insurance company.

Meaning Hertz will bill you $500 for one blown tire, for example, and depending how you negotiate with the insurance company, you might be able to only claim back $150 - the estimated market cost of replacing one tire.

The agent recounted a situation a renter had where someone ripped off the jaguar animal emblem off the hood of his rented jaguar and Hertz charged him $3000 for it when the replacement cost was really just $500.

Now this could have been a way to push LDW & their coverage on me but it did get me all worried..... (I didn't take it anyway). So I'm leaving Hertz off my rental list.

So just an FYI and if someone can validate/counter this piece of info, that would be great!

It might be specific for Hertz as I have always avoided them due to the fact that they are the primary provider for most business travellers and most likely (IMO) to run out of cars. Also they do not upgrade you if you ask and will charge for everything.
Now I've been renting from both Avis and Budget on a reg basis (every week or so for prolly 8 years) and I've had 4 accident claims against the rentals (hit a 4x4 on a highway, had something rip off the antenna off the car, scratch of the front bumper etc) and each time, the rental agency would send me the bill, photos etc. Each time I would call my credit card company, report the dmg, cost etc and then they would deal with the rental car company directly. I just essentially connected the two parties to deal with it. Have never had any problems. I figure that in car damages alone, I've pretty much made back all of the CC charges for annual fees.

I got a Hertz rental - Toyota Matrix - at Ft. Lauderdale Airport and it cost $180.00 for 8 days. This included a $50.00 surcharge by the State of Florida on rentals.
I think is it was a pretty good deal because we racked up about 1400 miles on the car.
Hertz has very good customer service.

Hi Acrossenger,
thanks for providing so much info on the rental companies, I rent car every weekend.

Now, I always rent with avis or budget because I have a corporate account. Do you know any AWD for Thrifty, Hertz or Enterprise that I could use and not pay the 25$ charge per day for being younger than 25?

Thanks a lot

Hi

Planning to go to Montreal this weekend. So I was planning to try hertz. The thing can you rent on an international drivers liscence . Also is there anyway we dont have to pay the under 25 surcharge.
Also whats ur opinion on the LDW . If we get that do we have to pay anything in case we scratch the car (cant figure out if there is a deductible amount).

Well, in this case why don't you use Avis with AWD C03XX29. That is always my first choice. Hertz is the second choice. They certainly will rent to someone with an International license. As far as insurance goes, it is a security net. With Avis code, you have LDW is included with $3000 deductible. While this will not cover you for minior scratch, it does cover you for totalling the car or major crash. Personally, I save the money and use the basic insurance that is included with Avis C03XX29 AWD. Search for that thread.

If it's Hertz, they are unlimited kms for SUVs and Vans. This applies also with Avis and Alamo.
