COPA has extended its exclusive contract with Hertz to provide association
members with rental vehicles at special discounted rates. This program was
started in 2001 and has proved popular with COPA members.
COPA receives a contribution for each rental by COPA members under this program.
This support is used to for COPA programs that help keep flying affordable for
Canadians.
To use the COPA discount program with Hertz, make your bookings through the toll
free Hertz number, Tel.: 800-263-0600 or through the Hertz Web site:
www.hertz.com. In both cases quote CDP number 16361 to get your special COPA
member price.New for 2002 is the Hertz Fuel Purchase option. To avoid having to
fill the rental vehicle gas tank on return, Hertz customers may purchase the
full tank at the time of rental at the local gas station price. This is a
convenience but is only a saving if you plan to use most of the fuel. Without
purchasing the option, Hertz charges about four times the local fuel price to
refill it for you. Customers may also chose to refill the tank themselves at a
local gas station.
Like all COPA membership benefits the Hertz program comes with a warrantee. If
you are not satisfied please contact Adam Hunt.
