Many people recently got the privilege to enter Hertz President’s Circle through one of the awesome benefits of the Capital One Venture X card.
Being part of the Hertz President’s Circle allows you to book the cheapest car and drive off with any car in the President Circle Line. You can often find luxury SUVs (etc.) in the President’s Circle Line. So by being part of the Hertz President’s Circle you can book a cheap car and drive off with a luxury SUV!
The even better part is that many other car rental companies will happily match your top tier status from Hertz with their company as well. All you need to do is “ask”. How do you ask?
In this post we will discuss how to request to be status matched by each car rental company.

Pro tip
I usually make a reservation with 3 or 4 car rentals and when I get to the airport I check the elite line of all the rentals to see who has the nicest car (usually they are right next to each other). Whoever has the nicest car in the elite line, that’s the car I roll off with (reservations are usually free to cancel).
FYI: Avis only matched to preferred plus.
Thanks. Will update post accordingly
I think the platinum gives you Emerald Club Executive Elite Status anyway, so no need for any match if you come from platinum
