El Paso Hertz rental car deal

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on the Trans-Americas Journey.

For obvious reasons, it’s been a mighty long time since we’ve found ourselves in a rental car. However, our trusty truck needed a checkup and some body work which meant we needed to rent some wheels while it was in the shop.

Funny thing about that….a recent massive hail storm here in El Paso, Texas caused a run on rental cars and there wasn’t a single one to be found. Luckily, we know people (we’re talking about YOU Luchagado and his trusty sidekick, Michelle) and they not only managed to score us a rental car but one with a mighty fine gas refill policy that was (good) news to us.

At the Hertz office here in El Paso the manager, Abel, hooked us up with a car and did it at a more than fair rate. We also learned that at many smaller Hertz offices, like this one in El Paso, you don’t have to sweat it if you can’t manage to fill the tank before returning your car. In a turn of events we still can’t hardly believe our Hertz agent told us that they will refill the tanks of returning rental cars from a pump behind the office at a rate of $2.20 per gallon not the absurdly inflated $5-$6 per gallon that most rental car companies charge if you come back less than full. Heck, $2.20 is even substantially less than the per gallon price at El Paso area gas stations. Check it out.
