Totally free Weekend Day From Hertz - No Minimum rental requirements - Pay just taxes.
Found this in the coupon section at Hertz.com. They're giving away a free weekend day, once a month until the end of March. No minimum keep so rent a car for a day and just pay the taxes and fees. As usual, NYC is excluded, as is Florida and Hawaii. Searched and didn't find this previously posted. Make sure you use PC # 127595 when making the reservation. I got Impala for 4.94 each month with UNLIMITED MILEAGE. With gas prices at an all time low YOHOOO...

Just booked 2 weekend days using above link and total for each came to $7.50 with taxes. This is insane. I think you're limited to driving to yours and adjacent states, but since Texas is 25% larger than France this isn't a big constraint for me.
Wonderful - I've made reservations for four months. Total on free day is $4.70 each time. This is a fun way to drive a different car some weekends. For January, I actually needed a two day rental and this allowed one of those days to be free. Thanks, OP! Hope the FW affect doesn't kill this too quickly
PS - Sometimes when I linked from the offer page, the PC# was filled in and sometimes not. I just entered the PC# on the Hertz reservation page and it always worked fine.

I'm having the same problem. Doesn't tell you *what* the missing requirement is. Maybe it is not valid in our locations. Wish they'd have the courtesy to tell you.
EDIT: Changed the location to a nearby city and voila, it works. Guess my city is blacked out.
Renting Sunday through Tuesday, it may be cheaper to use PC 104182. Using 127595 I was quoted $154.13 which included $36.49 for a free day, but then they charged me $107.99 for an "extra day". Using 104182, the entire booking came down to $47.18.
