FYI.
I was looking at rental prices for FLL for July 12-16. Prices were ~>$400 all over including Costco travel.
I checked out AA.COM using miles for car rentals, its priced out at 100 miles +$157.
A great price compared to everywhere else.
That is a savings of over $200

Be aware these prices are only with the AA platinum select CC.
If you have higher status with AA the prices may even be lower.

Make sure to log in again to see the rates as they vary based on your status and AA CC.

In the future that question belongs in the Hertz master thread- Usaa on a one way with Hertz will be per mile charges.
