Sponsors - Brickbats and Bouquets

[beelzebub 23,313]

Well just to change the focus for 5 mins id like to thank Progressive. I recently had cause to insure a vehicle and after looking around their quote was as keen as any , so they got the nod. In return the club got a C-note and much to my surprise I got a brand new jumper ( funny colour red, but hey price is right..lol )

In other news I recently jaunted up to Byron for a wedding and had to hire a car. So diligently I thought id take up the offer from Hertz to grab a discount. Why not I thought. Business paying for it so what the hell. Well lo and behold I could not get a car off of them out of Coolangatta. I found that remarkable. I even tried the online booking without the members code. Still no joy

I got Thrifty in my thinking as a result !! Needless to say there was a hell of a lot of Hertz vehicles sitting there at the GC Airport when I arrived and upon checking , yep there were some for rent. EPIC FAIL Hertz !!

I did give feedback to the club. I do try to use sponsors products where suits. i do really

any other stories ??

Agreed.

Tried to book with Hertz when I went up to Port douglas. Nothing available in the cairns airport. I tried booking a month in advance. Nothing.

Website didnt even recognise the code.

Twas an epic fail.

Well I am sure the club will seek another sponsor asap, thanks for the feedback.

A sponser i have 'supported' is Tyrells Wines through their Emblem & Team of the century Shiraz series!

I just had to hire a car whilst in WA last week. When doing the booking a couple of weeks beforehand, Hertz were not able to compete with other car rentals.

I used the link from the website, and then looked for prices without using the link and I must say they didn't seem to differ much.

I booked one from coolangatta using members discount and had no problems

You should have called Schwab directly, I'm sure he would have made it his top priority.
