How much can a Hertz Discount Code save you?

What's aHertz Discount Code?

Hertz uses the 'CDP' (counter discount program) to offer corporate reductions that tend to be cheaper than public rates. If your organization is affiliated with Hertz, you can save on your advance rental by adding the relevant CDP to your booking and it can even be stacked with a 'PC' (promotional coupon) and/or 'RQ' (rate code). Major businesses, credit card companies and travel clubdiscount programs, from American Express to Marriottto Virgin Atlantic, not only give you cheaper rates with aparticularCDP code, but also add specialfeatures such as the underage fee waived or insurance included.

A CDP is usually a numericalcode between 1 and 10 digits long. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of codes online, so we scoured the internet to find as many as possible, to see how much you can save. If you can't find your code here, youcould ask HR if there is a CDP foryou to use with Hertz or contact Hertz directly.

As expected, you can only generally use a corporate CDP if you have ID to prove you're entitled to the rate when picking up your rental, or you could be charged the full daily rate.
