Hertz codes?

[Matt..]

Does anyone have any good Hertz codes that are usable without things like a American Express card?

I'm looking at booking two cars. One for ~3weeks IAD to LAX, and a Corvette for 3 days from LAX.


Thanks

You could try CDP758674

whatever you find go through quidco ..they often give 10-15% cash back

[GCH]

Also try hertz.ie instead of co.uk .....may well give you a different price.

Hi, you also have CDP 625000. Mind, its the staff discount up to 50% off depends where you rent. Worth a try. 1 week in a Chevy Camaro SS in LAX for 378 usd iso 630...Only for Phers...but shhhhhh

One assumes this works well until you turn up....?

[chris2010]

In fact, some counter staff may ask where you work... just say somewhere in Hertz UK or somewhere else... Big Hertz European Sevice Center in Dublin (around 800 staff working there) etc. It happened once for me and the staff did not bother ask any more question, was just for curiosity... Up to you to use this code.

if you joined thier gold club or whatever they call it now , make a local rental to show your documnets ...then the next rentals should be waiting with the papers in the car so no one to quiz you

not sure id dare try it ..but gold club would make it easier

Have you got your own insurance?

[chris2010]

I think you have to pay an extra for it in the US. You must check on the Hertz website to be sure. For other countries insurance is normally included, its called collision and damage waiver+theft protection with a liabilty amount depending of the vehicle group you rent, but you can also pay an extra called super cover which waive your liabilty.

It's usually cheaper for people to book through Hertz UK (or some other UK based agent) and get and get an all-inclusive rate.

Anyone booking a 'bare' rate in USD is in for a shock when they turn up to collect the car.

[steveo3002]

that staff discount includes insurance via the co.uk site ..just tried a dummy booking

[miln0039]

I couldn't make the discount code work!!

EDIT - fixed it now!! Saves a chunk off my potential hire in Chicago next January - SUV for £268 is good value compared to what I had been seeing!!

It seems there's an offer on for the USA now.


758673 gives 15% off.
758674 gives up to 20% off for Adrenaline rentals.

Wouldn't have thought it was a good idea to use codes your not qualified for. All well and good getting the employee discount when you lie to the agent at pick up, or avoid one completely and hand back a whole car, But not so much fun if you hand them back a pile of twisted metal and they start to look closer at if your rental agreement is valid or not followed by voiding both it and your insurance coverage in a country that likes to litigate for big money.

Quidco/special offers fair enough but not entering the contract from a position of honesty is no better than failing to declare mods to your road car when insuring it.

20% of plus the quidco should make it a decent price , try changing the country on the website to see if that can bring it down

[matt3001]

I just reserved a Corvette for LA next March and the Ireland site didn't have it and was more expensive for the mustang!

[V8LM]

Don't hold your breath. I've "Reserved this exact car" three times before and never had one. I have another booking for a Corvette in August, so expect to be given a Camaro again (which I'll decline and take the Challenger as usual).

[matt3001]

Oh really? Thats a bit poor of them if you turn up and they try and give you another Adrenaline car or god forbid a v6 mustang.

[Matt..]

Interestingly, at the moment for my route (22 days Washington DC to LAX) National seem to be far cheaper than Hertz.
With Hertz i can get a Toyota Corolla class (Group C) for ~£830, with National the same is £705 (inc drop fee). For the same price as the Corolla at Hertz i can get a premium car at National.

I have never used National though, and have always tended to use Hertz as they seem to have the best cars. Is this a true assumption to make? Obviously 3 weeks and cross country is a long time to be in an unsuitable car, so i want the best i can get.
