Rent from Hertz in Florida and Return the Car in Another State -- As Low As $19.99 Per Week Plus Free Upgrade

I heard a report on TV yesterday that I had to check out. Hertz is having a promotion where you can rent a car in Florida and return it to a designated Hertz location in a different state for a ridiculously low weekly rate. Checking their website, there's also a second part of the offer: a free upgrade to the next car class. The lowest rate available is $5.00 per day, or just $19.99 per week. That's the special rate for an economy car for this special promotion.

But if you add the free upgrade RQ code 1WAY and PC# 118193, you get the next class up, a compact car.

The Florida Drive Out promotion is valid until the end of June.

With these promo prices plus the upgrade codes, you could get a midsize car for just $29.99 for the week. Or if you want to drive something more exotic, you could get a premium car for $79.99 for the week.

You have to pick up your car at one of the Hertz offices at a Florida airport, including Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa or West Palm Beach. Then you need to drive it out of state to one of 62 locations around the country (most of them aren't terribly close to Florida).

It's a very unusual promotion, but if you can figure a way to get to Florida on a one-way ticket and drive back north or west, you may find incredible savings.
