Travel Tip: Faster Elite Status with Hertz

July 21, 2007

If you happen to be a Hertz #1 Club Gold member there are elite status levels available which are (ridiculously) achieved by number of actual rentals, as opposed to days of rentals. This is one of the worst rental rewards policies in the entire travel industry because it will reward some travelers who are far [...]

Everyone is aware of American Airlines and most other carriers elite status levels.
