hertz rental car observation...free tank of fuel

[steveo3002]

ive noticed something..might not work on everycar /location

hertz.co.uk booking on internet explorer = no free fuel

same booking on safari or chrome = free tank of fuel

my example is for lax and a dodge challenger /camaro , worth a try if you are booking

heres my booking made today with google chrome..internet explorer showed same price but no gas...no idea why just saying incase it helps someone

or have i got it wrong? first tank of fuel included -means take it back empty no?

spose id best confirm with hertz..

i read it as first tank is inc/paid for , so i can take it back empty?

Yes, it means you pick it up full and return it as close to empty as possible. I have frequently had this included with Hertz (and others).

It irritates me slightly that if you book for 2 or 3 weeks you still only get one free tank, have come up with various masterplans for booking multiple weeks separately but in the end it seems like a lot of hassle to keep swapping cars over

Have to start estimating how many miles still required and how much fuel needed towards the end of the trip if you need to add fuel again

My record is zero KM left showing on the fuel meter when I hand it back

any idea how you trigger this free tank to appear when making quotes? as i said i got this only on a few cars and with safari , would be handy if theres way to always get it

[steveo3002]

well true it doesnt say free ..its just at the time i could raise a quote for the same price without fuel included

booked now so not to worry...fairly happy with the price and i get 15% back off quidco

[steveo3002]

i dont get your what gripe is

should i have paid the same for a car with no " tank of gas included" it was the same price , best deal i could find as joe public with a discount code

£130 less say £40 of gas , £19.50 cashback from quidco ..makes it £35 a day
