Delta makes it Hertz so good

Delta has announced an expansion of their partnership with Hertz.  You can read full details here, but the gist is that you can earn 4 to 8 Delta miles per dollar from Hertz (depending on your level of elite status with Delta), and all Delta elites now get some level of elite status with Hertz: 5 Star or President’s Circle Status.  That’s it.  So, for the rest of this post, with a nod to the many renters Hertz erroneously had put in jail, we present the Delta/Hertz news using lyrics sung to the tune of John Mellencamp’s “Hurts So Good”…

When I wasn’t elite, boy
I book’d cheap and relied on Waze
Now that I’m gettin’ 5 star status
I really long for those unelite days

With a car from Hertz
Delta miles from Hertz
Hertz knows they can imprison you, baby
Both me and you
Ain’t no makin’ bail,

Hertz so good
Delta Air Lines makes it Hertz so good
Sometimes rentin’ cars don’t feel like it should
Delta makes it Hertz so good

Delta says it’s exciting
Says renting cars is a little bit of fun, yeah
But then you’re locked in the paddy,
Wonderin’ what on earth you have done.

Hey renter, it’s you
Brand new, felon, it’s you
Wrap your arms around those bars, baby
Let’s see what Delta can do
Ain’t no makin’ bail,

Hertz so good
Delta Air Lines makes it Hertz so good
Sometimes rentin’ cars don’t feel like it should
Delta makes it Hertz so good

I ain’t talkin’ no jail break
I ain’t made no plans myself
I ain’t talkin’ no confession
Maybe we’ll be held
All year long
Stuck in that jail
All year long, uh

Hertz so good
Delta Air Lines makes it Hertz so good
Sometimes rentin’ cars don’t feel like it should
Delta makes it Hertz so good
