you say you are switching from Thrifty to Hertz, and are sticking with them...so why ask for any more advice if you are already sticking with hertz?? If your mind is already made up...what difference would it make if you start to get all the negative comments about Hertz??? Obviously you aren't interested in swtiching..so why waste time? Sounds like another ''my guy is better'' thread concerning car rental. STick with your decision...and live with the results.
