Hertz: Free Gas!

Posted by the*point*man Fri, 30 May 2008 00:09:00 GMT

You can use it on a vacation or save your client some money.  It’s a win-win.  With gas prices continuing to rise, I can definitely see the car rental business losing some money as people start jumping on the "staycation" bandwagon.

Promotion Details Here:

The beginning of the summer travel season is the perfect time to enjoy a Free Tank of Gas from Hertz. Just rent any Economy through Full-Size vehicle for a minimum of three days and get a free tank of gas for use with your rental. Hurry, this offer is valid on vehicle pickups through June 30, 2008, with PC# 113120.

Stay green.

Hertz: Gold Club Promotions

Posted by the*point*man Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:23:00 GMT

I receive fairly frequent emails from Hertz related to various promotions. For the most part, they only apply during a certain specific situation which isn’t very common. Recently I received 2 promotions which are worth sharing as I think they are applicable towards a variety of rentals especially for road warriors.

Here they are in no specific order:

Free Tank of Gas Will Keep You Moving You can still get a Free Tank of Gas from Hertz! Just rent any Economy through Full-Size vehicle for a minimum of three days and get a free tank of gas on us for use with your rental. Offer valid on vehicle pickups through March 31, 2008. Mention PC# 113120.
