Never mind, I just locked eyes on Hertz's 15% off ad :) Its only a $16 more than Holiday Autos.

Looking to hire a car for five days in March - pick up at MEL on a Monday evening, drop off at MEL on Saturday midday. Holiday Autos is by far the cheapest at AU$160 for a Corolla. All other prices from the car hire companies are $207+ for a Corolla/Yaris/i20. Is there anything I should be...

Thanks serfty :) For the record I bid $510 each which I thought may have been too low.

Got an email this morning confirming our upgrade to J for the AKL-LAX leg of our trip. Wow! I didn't think I had a chance since my bid was on the low side. Now we need the same for the return leg :)

Does it get taken into account that you have previously flown in J, paid for in cash? And do VA Gold passengers get the same consideration as Air NZ Gold passengers?

I have claimed Velocity points retrospectively. It didn't take too long for them to award SCs and points.

Thanks serfty - I saw your post after I put my bids on lol. Just have to wait now to hear back sometime between Tuesday and Friday next week. I'm not overly hopeful as I have Scottish blood, if you know what I mean!

I got an email today from Air NZ asking if we would like to bid to go OneUp. We are flying to LAX later this month on Air NZ in PE. I am Velocity Gold, hubby is Velocity Silver and I put those numbers on the booking. I do have an Airpoints membership but have no idea where my card is so I...

I've been Gold for 18 months and this is the first time ever. I doubt we'll have the same luck when we fly to MEL at the end of the month. We can only hope.

I did our OLCI this morning for our PER-ZNE flight on Virgin this afternoon. Booked cheapest seats for our flight and couldn't select seats at the time of booking. How surprised was I to find we have been allocated 2D and 2F. I'm Gold, hubby is Silver. Yeah its only a 1hr 45min flight but we...

It isn't far to walk between the terminals, just follow the path (IIRC marked with blue paint). It takes about 10 minutes at a good pace or there's a free bus which runs frequently between the terminals. The walk is nice if it isn't raining. We're heading back from LAX to SYD via AKL with Air...

I attained VA Gold in December 2011 and now I fear not getting enough SCs to maintain it. As we are going a trip to the USA this year I will just manage to get enough SCs to hang onto Gold until December next year. I like everything about Gold status. Doing status runs is pretty much out of...

Awesome. Thank you for your replies. I'm kinda liking Gold status and its nice to know I'll hang on to it until December next year at least.

Booked on VA PER-MEL and SYD-PER in the Cheap Charlie seats which will earn 20 SCs each way. Booked on Air NZ in PE MEL-AKL-LAX-AKL-SYD. I'm VA Gold and am trying to work out whether I'll have enough SCs before December to maintain Gold - at this point in time I need another 350 SCs. On the...

We intend to cross in to Canada at Blaine and we will be in Canada for about a week, then later on in the trip we will cross in to Canada again near Nigara Falls for a day or two. My only concern is that hubby had a couple of low-range drink-driving convictions in Western Australia and a few...

I used TIDTHANKS today and saved 6% or $41.46 on our policy for our trip to the USA and Canada.

Re: Car Hire out of LAX At the moment Netflights is looking good. A Chevy Impala, everything included, for GBP1055 = AU$1615 for 52 days and the only thing I can think of that they may try to sell us at the desk is insurance to cover vandalism. That sounds awfully cheap considering some of...

Re: Car Hire out of LAX OK so now that we have the CDW/LDW question covered, are Supplemental Liability and Third Party Liability the same thing? I'm looking at Netflights and Argus at the moment. One has Supplemental Liability included and the other has Third Party Liability included. This...

Re: Car Hire out of LAX Sorry to dig up a thread that is several months old but we are also going to hire a car at LAX. Looking at Hertz, it says Loss Damage Waiver and Liability Insurance Supplement are included. Is LDW the same as CDW or will we have to pay for CDW on pick up? If so, how...
