Anyone booked direct with Hertz AAA Code?

[jmagla]

Hi All,
I am looking at car rental for our trip next August. The cheapest I can find (via UK site) using the AAA (AA) code is with Hertz, £526 for 20 days with a 7 seater van, full insurance and free booster seat rental. I think I can also get Quidco cash back which would take it below £500, which seems pretty good to me.

I have looked at their website regarding the AAA discount and it says that another AAA member (i.e. spouse) can be added as an additional driver for no extra charge (this option is not available during the booking process though). Has anyone had experience of this? I could get the wife AA membership for £7(after Quidco) which would obviously be much cheaper than paying $15 for 20days!

I have tried the AA website and they will give same price (but not Quidco) and an additional driver free but not free booster seat rental.

Just wondered whether others have experience of booking via Hertz/AAA and got the additional driver etc.

Thanks Michael

I used Hertz last year using AA code, thread about it here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2429517&highlight=hertz+glitch
I think it worked out at £197 for 25 nights rental.

Only problem we had was we got an email saying we could no go directly to the garage, we had to use the main desk. When at the main desk she would not give us free spouse, that was only available using Gold #1 out in the garage which we were told we could not use. Others went direct to the garage and ignored the email, they had no problems.

I looked at the deal just before I came away, £494 for 18 night 7 seater plus our additional driver is not spouse, too much for me, we paid £350 this year for 14 nights with gold cover. It was the best price I could find but I am waiting for all companies to release prices, too early for me.

I think I will keep my powder dry and see if there are any "glitches" between now and next July, will be keeping an eye out for your next posting on car rental glitches
