Have been Gold for many years and follow what you have suggested. It’s been great and so easy for this older traveller! I like Hertz and have had good experiences wherever I have travelled. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you!

A couple of hints: video the car you are renting before you get in. Note any visible scratches as you walk around it, even videoing the undercarriage. Now you have documentation of the condition of the car. Next, you can get status with Hertz with a higher Delta status. Other airlines probably do this as well--Delta is the one I use.

Always learn something out of each of your videos. I got the double-sided sunglass case for my sister for Mother’s Day. She really liked it. I have a funny story about a car rental, my friend, and I went river rafting in Oregon. We rented a car because it was a cheaper option to have a rental car for a couple days. It just sat there rather than a shuttlewhich was more $. the funny thing was about. That story was we got to the airport in Oregon and we headed towards the rental cars she could not remember what company she rented from. So we walked up to the counter and asked and the second one was a hit.

Real good stuff, Laurie. I have done this hundreds for times and it is every bit as good as you have so accurately described.

Other car rental companies have similar programs, if Hertz doesn't work for you. Keep in mind, most programs don't help you at smaller city (outside the airport) rental facilities. We've run into this after cruises when picking up a car to drive to the airport in.

I worked in auto insurance claims and learned that it is more expensive to rent a car from an airport location and that an option is to rent from a place that is close to the airport and have them pick you up or drop the car off to you there. I'm not sure which route is the cheaper way to go, but definitely work checking out. Along with taking a pic of the mileage, it is also a good idea to take pictures or a video of the car when you're done with it, if an employee doesn't go over the car with you. That way you have proof of the condition of the car as you left it.

Thank you Laurie for this great tip. I just set up a similar account and service with Budget in Canada. My pre-existing booking, through Air Miles was on their file and I am now enrolled in their Fastbreak. So easy. Love your videos.

Thanks for the information. It's exactly what I was looking for.

This video is SO HELPFULL!!! I'm going to Orlando International Airport next month and I was thinking of becoming a GOLD member, after watching your video I will be!! Thanks!

[annaburch]

Even with the membership, we still waited for an hour at Charleston. The group of people waiting with us said this is constantly an issue there. But in San Diego, it was SUPER fast and easy (once we got to the off-site garage). Loved it!! Great tip.

[mariap]

Excellent tips always!
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️

I've rented cars from a Nashville and it's such a hike to where the rental cars are. When you have luggage and handicap. Then had no shuttles to the rental vars .

[ccdoz]

Thank you so kuch! I have a hertz reservation for this weekend. Hope they will let me use the app. I really appreciate it!

I signed up today! They did say the first time renting with Hertz Gold, you cannot skip the counter.

[christinejanos]

Great information:) However... We are traveling from Maryland to Boston Logan where we are renting a vehicle from Hertz then driving to Maine! Became a GOLD member and got the Hertz app on my phone (which canceled my original reservation and created a new one). Probably user error😁 Spoke to customer service who confirmed when we arrive at Logan Airport to pick up our Hertz rental car we DO need to come to the counter. Not sure why since all the information they could possibly need was given including my credit card number, drivers license and flight number. Hoping all goes well. LOVE your videos!
