New York: Hertz Offers Hourly Displeasure in Manhattan
http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/4/17/13422/4142
Hertz has launched an hourly rental program at three of its Manhattan locations, becoming only the second major rental company to offer such an arrangement. Enterprise runs a similar pilot program in Chicago; Hertz's hourly competitor in NYC is Zipcar. Hourly rentals are available at three West Side locations (34th Street, 55th Street and 95th Street) at starting rates of $12 an hour.
Hourly renters must be members of Hertz's loyalty program, the Gold Club, which is free to join but requires a minimum member age of 25. So, those between 21 and 24 can only look to Zipcar for their hourly needs in NYC. According to Newsday, Hertz will expand the program if it proves successful in Manhattan.

http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/10/17/221226/83
Spirit Airlines, home of the lav-friendly flight attendants, has teamed up with Hertz to offer frequent flyer miles as a reward for Hertz rentals. Members of Spirit's Free Spirit program can earn up to 1,500 miles and $20 in savings on Hertz reservations made through the end of 2006. Regardless of whether or not you "just had a fight with your partner" the morning of your rental.
Spirit is also up to more bizarre promotional antics again, although this time not quite as alienating: book today or tomorrow for fares "as low as $8," courtesy of an animated number 8 named Ocho De La Hoya. In this case, the only people really turned off by this are probably Oscar De La Hoya's array of babymamas.
