Used Priceline got Hertz can i bypass desk???

[Prestara]

First time I have used priceline for a car rental in Orlando and ended up with Hertz. Can I go directly to the garage and pick my car or do I need to goto the counter? I do have a Hertz Goldplus membership but am unsure if this helps me since I didn't book directly with them.
Any recommendations or previous experience would be appreciated.

No, you will not be on the Gold board. You will have to go to the counter (I am assuming this is a "name your own price" deal)

If you "named your own price" then you don't get any of the perks of being a Hertz Gold member. If you booked through Priceline's regular car rental screens and you specifically selected the car from Hertz then you can call and add your number to the reservation and bypass the counter.

thank you. I did name my own price so I guess I will be going to the counter.

We did the name our own price in May and got Hertz. We joined the Gold club after that. We did online check in and got an email saying what car and where it was. He went to the garage and I stood in line (loooooong line but just in case), and he called me saying it was all good. We were able to go straight to the car. I don't know if this was a fluke, or what, but we didn't have to stop and our name was on the Gold board.

Ktate is right!

I've also bypassed the counter with Alamo and Budget as long as I did online check in.
