As you should already know all too well, traveling is getting quite expensive. With the rising cost of fuel, everything from airline tickets to rental cars are going up in price. Therefore, any time you can save some money as a traveler, it is a very welcome opportunity. Fortunately, if you use Hertz as your rental car company, you will have an opportunity to save yourself some money.

As many of Chicago’s newspapers recently noted, Hertz has implemented a new policy for its customers. Traditionally, the way rental car companies have worked is if you return a car with a tank that isn’t full, when they refill it, they will charge you for up to twice the amount of the standard price of gas. However, Hertz has decided that instead of gouging the price of gasoline, it will now refill its rental cars and only charge customers the standard price of local gas, along with a seven dollar service fee.

In addition to saving money as a result of this policy, if you book your Hertz car rental for Chicago online, you should also be able to save yourself even more money by getting a lower rate.
