Car Rental Taxes on United Airlines Rewards Redemption?



Jeremy asks:


I am redeeming some of my accumulated United Airlines rewards points for a two day free car rental from Hertz. I called to make the reservation, and the Hertz rep said that I still have to pay car rental taxes, even though I am using rewards points to rent the car. Is that right?












My Response:


Shop with your points and miles at Points.com That sounds exactly right. Most reward offers and/or coupons for free car rental state in the terms and conditions that the value of a coupon or money off offer, applies to "time and mileage charges" only. That means that you still have to pay any car rental taxes or surcharges over and above the base rate of the rental car itself.

I went to the United Airlines website and looked up the terms and conditions for the two day free car rental offer for Hertz. The terms and conditions stated, that when redeeming your United Airlines rewards:

The following charges are not included as part of the Award and must be paid for by the renter:

taxes, drop off fees, extra days, applicable charges for excess mileage, any vehicle licensing fees, airport related fees, optional refueling service, optional Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss/Damage Waiver (LDW), optional Personal Accident Insurance (PAI), Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) and any additional charges which may apply for drivers under the age of 25.
