The Offer
- Hertz is offering free Five Star Elite Status to new members that sign up. Existing members will earn double points on all rentals through the end of the year
Our Verdict
Hertz status isn’t the best, but free is free.  Hertz also filed bankruptcy last year.
This kind of marketing always disappoints for loyal customers. I would like my 5-Star back, even if for 6 or 12 months. The rates are so high, it’s challenging to stay with Hertz and for what, 70 – 140 ZE points?
Did Hertz exit the bankruptcy already?

Man, Hertz is like the red-headed stepchild of rental car companies now.
The link seems missing
Nice try but if I’m going to jail for returning a rental, then HERTZ CAN GET ASSFUCKED BY A PAIR OF FIVE-STAR SCISSORS!!!!
Come on dude.. Hertz is not that bad they had the cheapest rental in Hawaii and service comes with extra “perks”…now if you just can bail me out that will be great..
I thought you were a professional MSer. Bailing yourself out is a great way to generate spend to meet MSR
Five Star members don’t get sent to jail.
They can pick their own jail cell from what is available
Seinfeld was right. They know how to take a reservation but not how to hold the car for it.

Does this come with a free call to lawyer for when they report you as a car thief ?
Elite Status will come in handy when you arrive at an airport whose Hertz lot has no cars to rent out.
If everyone has status then nobody has status…
