AutoSlash.com helps people save money on car rentals. They’re the only site that automatically applies coupons and lowers your rate when prices drop. If you book anywhere else, you’ll probably end up overpaying.
Today our Deal of the Day is sponsored by AutoSlash and an opportunity to win a $50 Hertz gift certificate. We’ve put up some of our finds, but you now have the opportunity to win for the best overall travel deal submitted. A great mileage run, mistake fare, partner promo, new card sign-up offer, or the special twist you figured out on a deal today. Add it to the comments section of the post (with your first name, last initial, and 3 letter airport code) to be eligible to win. Just add your “find” to the comments tonight by 11:59pm EST. Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Hertz now rents by the hour in some metropolitan areas of the country, gas, insurance, and GPS are included in the price. Unlike Zip Car, it is free to join and there is no annual membership fee. It is also possible to do one way rentals to the airport (again, unlike Zip Car, where that is not an option).”. Deb, please email rick@frugaltravelguy.com to collect.
Thanks to everyone that submitted a deal / tip, keep them coming!
