But not for quite a while compared to Avis and National, at least. You can still get cheaper cars offsite, but you pay for it in convenience. I do think Hertz is still the most consistently good from place to place domestically, but Avis has just about caught up and I get upgraded automatically with them more often so that's who I look at first. But if the price for a particular rental on Avis is higher than usual (and week to week it an vary greatly in some markets), I then look to Hertz and as often as not it's cheaper.
