Also- Is this the price for me or my wife (who is above 21?)
This is at Hertz?
The standard price for the car?
How would I go about making the reservation at this price?

Thank you!
Sorry for the bother.

I find that the same $135 total appears whether I enter the code or not.
Does that make sence?

Thanks.

never did, but thanx for that code. it brings the rates down .


Fyi, regarding that AWD...the following was posted on FT:
WARNING: DO NOT use Avis C03___9 AWD discount code anymore. I got a
very reliable confirmation from an inside guy that this code is black
listed now. Effective immedately, all benfits associated with code are
removed(including free LDW insurance), anyone use this code will pay
maxiumum rack rate regardless of reservation or website showing rate as
well as company ID must be produced. A warning flag has been raised on
this AWD and most likely you will be questioned about where you got the
code. All in all, this code is nothing but trouble from now on.

I have used this code for a while - until I got charged underage fee (about 2 years ago)

This post on FT IIRC is dated from 2007

I asked if anyone used this code recently, cuz I just saw that FT post a few days ago...

I ended up renting using that code - so far all looks good, I'll update once I return the car.
