anyone use hertz to pier?

Okay, I seemed to have run into a little snag.

Here's the situation-my car is constantly breaking down and needing this or needing that. Needless to say because of that, all my credit cards are practically maxed except one.

I was going to use that one for the car rental only to find out today that Budget puts a $200 hold on your credit card at check in. The card only has a $200 limit and I have full use of every penny. The problem is that we are renting a car on the way back too in which case the card will not have enough funds for a $200 hold. Plus I don't want to freeze up $200 for a $37 one day rental. It just doesn't make sense to me.

So I checked with Hertz and they only put a $50 hold which I expected. My only concern is that Hertz won't run as smoothly as I expected Budget to. We are picking the car up @ Sanford and dropping off at the pier 2 days later.

Has anyone used Hertz in this manner? And how did it work for you?

Don't worry. I have used Hertz on both cruises. Each time I did a one day rental from the airport, left the car at Hertz, they took me to port and picked me up when I returned and I did another 24 hour rental back to the airport. It went very smoothly.

I was very pleased. The only difference was I used MCO not Sanford but the Cape Canaveral personnel at Hertz were wonderful.

We used Hertz also--everything went very smooth. I highly recommend them.

We used Hertz when we flew into Sanford in June. The rental counter is right next to the baggage claim area, and the cars are right outside in the parking lot. It was very convenient. Because Sanford is a smaller ariport, the rental counters are not open 24 hours a day, but that isn't an issue with Hertz because they have a key drop-box for after-hours returns.
