It's currently $2 but subject to change based on national average.

Unless it is grossly abused or fuel price spiked sharply, I doubt Hertz will care to change that number very often.
Every terms are 'Subject to change' which is just the corporate way of denying any liabilities.

You think they will lose money if gas prices are more than $2?

Gas isn't free to them. Average should smooth the gain or loss affect.
But they are also under Chapter 11.  :P

AAA membership costs less, takes off the underage fee and gives a percentage off.
Don't see lots of advantages for the price difference.

AAA waives the underage fee from 20 years old. This seems to be from 18 which usually 18 year olds can't rent in most states, regardless if they pay an underage fee or not.

Also, not having to worry about filling up the car or getting charged through the roof will give you peace of mind.
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Do you feel that AAA seems to have fewer unique benefit enough to keep the membership?

I had them for decades and feel I'm not really getting much benefits lately. Credit card or insurance company these days have roadside assistance too.

Does an AU Sapphire reserve also get the breakdown coverage or just the primary cardholder?

I think AU gets it too, but like the credits, its annual limit is shared by everyone.

Just returned a car at MCO, and due to traffic didn't have time to fill the gas, was running extremely late.
Just got hit with a $150+ gas charge (9.99 /gallon!!!)!

Good example of how if could pay for itself with 1 rental.

Im not so sure, i wouldnt lay out $100 for that chance, it hasnt happened to me in the past and is not something i am too worried about. would you buy 100 dollars of insurance for that eventuality? it seems expensive.
If you dont want to deal with the hassle in the first place then i understand that it might be worth to pay for the service, but again, i dont see myself paying $100 for someone to fill up my tank.
