PHL July 17th thru 21st.  I have Hertz gold plus
Does hertz Choice allow you to get a minivan by paying intermediate rate in Phl?
Are they good about allowing you to take any car on the lot (I really need an 8 seater)?

My current best quote for an intermediate car is $242 for 4 days using CV: CV#022L4585 or  CV051C0001 and AAA.  Am I running any risk using a cv code?  Can they ask me for justification to use a cv code?
Thanks
Hertz choice works only with whatever cars are in the gold choice lane not anything in the lot but ymmv.
They can't even see on the reservation when you're picking up that there was a CV code used so there is no risk of being asked anything besides the fact that Atleast for CV 022L4585 I know there is no problem using it as it was set up for usage anywhere at anytime

Any way to get the one way fee/penalty waived for pickup in SEA and return to PDX?  Neither HotWire nor PriceLine are helping this time.  Thanks.
If you're in the financing or e-commerce business, and need capital to grow, we should talk...
