Using Airlines Miles for Car Rentals Using Hertz Coupons & Discounts Using Airline Discount Codes & Earning Miles for Rentals Capital One Travel Portal I first read about cheap car rentals via Capital One on Rapid Travel Chai.  In my experience, rentals weren't always cheaper on the Capital One travel portal, but they were sometimes cheaper than the Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi Thank You portals. The BIG advantage of the Capital One No Hassle Rewards travel portal is that you can book one-way car rentals (where you rent the car in one city, but drop it off in another city) and pick-ups at non-airport locations.  You can't book these type of rentals with Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi Thank You points.
