Hertz
$803.16
Midsize SUV
CDP: AAA
CV 022L5102

Out of curiosity what is a CV code and what's it tied to? It reduces the rate dramatically, can the counter clerk ask me for proof of using the code?

No they can't ask for proof, what it basically is, it's a code for a TA to use when booking....

Great, thanks for the additional help! So when I go to the counter can they tell me my rate is invalid? Sorry for all of the questions. Just want to be prepared.

I'm not sure, lol, that's why I was asking. I wasn't sure if they would give me a hard time about the rate because of the CV code?

I am trying to help a friend find the best rate for car rental.  Also wondering if it is possible to get an insurance waiver if the driver is not the credit card holder (any way that I can use my CC to pay for the rental and she can receive insurance coverage through the CC?)

Looking for a car rental in FLL . Dates are 3/27 (3pm) to 4/9 (6am) that's less expensive than $550 for intermediate class. Wouldn't mind paying that price for small suv, but not having any luck. Have tried autoslash with no success yet.

Hello, I'm trying to book a car from Hertz in Upper Saddle River, NJ, for Mar 29 - Apr 9, I used 2046380 CDP# to waive underage fee (i'm 23) and my total is $351, I have 2 questions.
1) it says in their terms and conditions `if you're under 25 additional charges may apply`. How can I know if the code worked or I will be charged underage fee(in fact even if I don't use the code I got the same total)?
2) I tried to use all PC# from the sheet http://bit.ly/hertzsavings but the total was always the same and I got the same message every time
