Yes, he offers to sell you Hertz coupons to lower the stated price.
He never got back to me, though.

DTW (Detroit Airport):
DTW:
August 16, 2:00 PM:
August 18, 2:00 PM
Mid-size or larger:
Above 25
Approximately $130 after taxes:

There has got to be something better, especially with all the corporate accounts.

Please help.

Thanks.

The best I was able to find was $100 for Dollar using the Chabad corporate number.

Also, both Chabad accounts got changed so I added the new information the the Wiki of the corporate code thread.
