Just been online to hire a MPV in the US, and you know how Hertz is always 50% more than everyone else? It's now one of the cheapest :ooo

How does a US gallon compare to a real gallon? :D

The MPV I've booked is 18/23mpg :yikes: .... I get 37 out of mine!

As with the flights, 50% is taxes & insurance. :splapme

Even better, hidden away on a site I found the following:

Hertz Car Rental Discount Code hope that these codes will increase online sales made with via credit cards from customers with VISA and Mastercard’s. The 10% discount codes to be used with Visa credit cards are 652970, 652969 or 618583. If paying by Mastercard the codes are 587954 or 652970 or 652969 or 569608.

Used the one I've highlighted and got £40 off, so only have to pay £361 :thumbs
