NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz (NYSE: HTZ) is celebrating the three year anniversary of its award-winning Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® customer loyalty program and unveiling enhanced member benefits. Over the past year alone, the industry-leading loyalty program earned top honors for Best Rewards Program and Best Overall Benefits from FlyerTalk.com, and the 2013 COLLOQUY Loyalty Award, which recognizes groundbreaking innovations in loyalty marketing designed to enhance the consumer experience.

As part of the anniversary, Hertz hosted a summer-long promotion offering existing and new members the opportunity to earn double bonus points on weekly rentals. In total, Hertz awarded more than one million bonus points to its members throughout the summer. And as of now, Hertz is already running another promotion, Double Points on Ancillaries. Qualifying rentals with an ancillary product earn double points for charges of NeverLost, SiriusXM, PrePay for Fuel, and insurance coverage through September 30, 2014.

"Our breakthrough customer loyalty program is a first for the industry. Compared with any other car rental company, it offers easier ways to earn and redeem points, and maximum flexibility for point use," said Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark P. Frissora. "The multiple awards received for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards is a testament to our commitment to create the most innovative and rewarding offers, technologies and services for our program members."

The global enhancements to Hertz’s Gold Plus Rewards® loyalty program allow members to fast forward their membership experience anywhere they rent a car, worldwide. As the core upgrade, among many others, it is now easier for Gold members to move up in status and enjoy additional benefits. The company did so by lowering the rental thresholds required to achieve and retain status in Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® Five Star® and Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® President’s Circle®. With the upgraded program, seven rentals now qualify members for Five Star® (previously 10), and 20 rentals qualify members to join the President’s Club® (previously 40).

Following are additional upgrades made to the program:

• Quicker Enrollment: Customers can now enroll in Gold Plus Rewards right at the rental counter.
• Hertz Gold Choice®: Provides renters with the peace of mind knowing their car will be ready and waiting for them, and the freedom to choose something different on the spot.
• Mobile Gold Alerts: Gold members can receive messages sent to their phone with up-to-the-minute information that let them know which car they’ll be driving and where their vehicle is parked.
• Faster Rentals: Allows Gold members to skip the counter at over 50 airports around the world. And at over 4,000 locations worldwide, renters can simply show their driver’s license and pick up their keys.
• More Ways to Earn Points: In addition to earning points on rental charges, Gold members earn with services like Hertz NeverLost®, Fuel Purchase, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, insurance coverage options, and more.
  • Current promotion: Now through September 30, 2014, existing and new Gold Plus Rewards members can earn double points for the ancillary charges of NeverLost, SiriusXM, PrePay the Fuel, and insurance coverage.
• Enhanced Rewards: Improved technology makes it easier for our members to view their real-time point balance, check their e-statements with up to 24 months of activity, and even redeem rewards during reservations.
• New Reward Destinations: Hertz added new destinations to our expanding global network, where our members can redeem points for free days, including Ireland and Brazil.

Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® is one of the few free loyalty programs in the industry. To become a member, customers can enroll online at www.Hertz.com or at a Hertz rental counter. Once enrolled, members can earn one point per dollar spent on all qualifying rentals. The program features AnyDay Rewards with no black-out dates, allowing members to use points at any time. Members also have the flexibility to use their points when it is convenient for them as Gold Plus Rewards points do not automatically expire. Each time a member rents a car that earns points or redeems points, their points renew for an additional two years, which means they do not have to worry about points expiring.

LONDON, Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) and Dorna Sports are pleased to announce that Hertz, the world-leading general use car rental brand, is yet again the title sponsor of the 2014 British MotoGP™. The British edition of the premier motorcycle racing world championship will be held at Silverstone from August 28th to August 31^st.

Continue Reading

Michel Taride, Group President, Hertz International, said: "Our ongoing partnership with Dorna Sports and MotoGP renews our excitement year after year, fuelling our adrenalin with real top two-wheels action. Hertz British Grand Prix is a world-renowned event that perfectly matches our passion for innovation and mobility and reflects our fastest, easiest and most valued car rental brand values. This year we will also have the opportunity to engage with visitors in the Hertz Game Zone and share with them a bit of our four-wheels passion too."

As title sponsor of the British MotoGP, Hertz will benefit from significant media exposure through a range of branding opportunities at the circuit, including at the trackside, bridge, starting point, winners’ podium backdrops, and clothing of the Paddock Girls. In addition, at this year’s event, visitors can try their hand at ‘winning the fastest lap’ of the famous Silverstone track on bike simulators placed in the Hertz Game Zone or have their photo taken in one of the Hertz Dream Collection vehicles on display in the area. Winners will be awarded with different prizes throughout the weekend.

The move follows the successful collaboration between MotoGP™ rights holder Dorna Sports and Hertz, which has been the car and equipment rental supplier for the premier motorcycle racing World Championship since 2010, and first took on title sponsorship of the event in 2012.

The MotoGP championship is an eighteen-race series visiting thirteen countries across four continents. The Hertz British Grand Prix edition of the MotoGP will see Britain’s Cal Crutchlow, Bradley Smith, Michael Laverty and Scott Redding battle it out with the likes of Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, and Dani Pedrosa for the much-coveted title. British riders in the lower classes are also proving an ever-greater threat on the world stage, as Danny Kent will scrap it out in Moto2™, while Danny Webb looks to make a push for glory in Moto3™.

Pau Serracata, Managing Director Commercial Area, Dorna, commented: "To have Hertz on board as title sponsor once more for the 2014 British MotoGP™ gives me great pleasure. It not only shows the strength of our continued collaboration, but also the benefits and advantages the sponsorship of such a popular world-renowned racing event can have. With an extremely exciting season ahead, during which we will continue to use Hertz’s worldwide service for both vehicle and equipment rental, the Silverstone round is the ideal event to showcase our strong partnership."

NAPLES, Fla., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) announces the company’s new protocol for rental car maintenance and cleanliness, Hertz Certified Clean & Safe, which is being rolled out to all Hertz airport and suburban locations in the U.S. For the first time, the company is sharing with customers each step taken, which includes a 35 point checklist, to prepare every car and verify the vehicle is certified clean and safe before it’s rented. Once the vehicle is certified, a card signed by the representative preparing it for rental is placed on the vehicle’s steering column to reassure the customer it has been certified clean and safe.

"At Hertz we’re committed to ensuring our vehicles are clean and safe before each rental," commented Mark P. Frissora, Hertz Chairman and CEO. "With the Certified Clean and Safe program, we’re taking steps to share our internal processes, and are providing a personal touch and added sense of security for customers, knowing their rental has undergone a 35 point cleaning and inspection process prior to being rented."

At each Hertz location there is a dedicated maintenance and cleaning area where vehicle inspections are conducted. Before each vehicle is driven off the lot, it must undergo a 35 point checklist, which includes:

Certified Clean:

• Door panels/pockets
• Dashboard and steering
• Seats, front and back
• Glove compartment
• Windows, in and out
• Mirrors, in and out
• Cup holders
• Console
• Odors
• Exterior

Certified Safe:

• Windshield and wipers
• Spare tire/tools
• Owner’s manual available
• Lights, in and out
• No warning lights
• Tires and tread
• AC/heater
• Seat belts
• Antenna
• Fuel

"I know first-hand just how important is it to make sure your vehicle is both safe and clean before hitting the road," commented Joey Logano, Driver, Penske Racing. "Before every race my vehicle undergoes a similar approval process that is essential for keeping me safe. It’s reassuring to know that Hertz is taking these same precautionary measures for each and every vehicle they rent."

The program was piloted at three Hertz locations: San Diego, Dulles and Cincinnati, receiving high remarks from both employees and customers on the transparency of the program. Over the coming weeks, this will become a corporate-wide protocol for all Hertz rental locations.
