    Hertz Global Holdings Announces Proposed $500 Million Private Offering of Senior Notes by The Hertz Corporation

    ESTERO, Fla., July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) (the "Company") today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), intends to offer $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the "Notes"), subject to market and other conditions, in a private offering (the "Offering") exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

    The Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears. The Notes are expected to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the domestic subsidiaries of Hertz that guarantee its senior credit facilities from time to time.

    Hertz intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, together with net proceeds from the Company’s previously announced rights offering, to consummate the redemption of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes as described below, pay accrued and unpaid interest in connection with redemption of the 2020 Notes and the 2021 Notes, pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and use any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

    On July 12, 2019, Hertz issued conditional notices of redemption to (1) redeem $699.8 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and (2) redeem an aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 7.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") equal to (i) the net proceeds from one or more capital markets offerings described in the applicable Notice of Conditional Redemption (the "Capital Markets Offerings"), minus (ii) the amount of such net proceeds used to consummate the redemption of the 2020 Notes as determined by Hertz in its sole and absolute discretion.

    The redemptions of the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes are each subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions precedent set forth in the applicable Notice of Conditional Redemption, including the consummation of the Capital Markets Offerings on terms and conditions satisfactory in all respects to Hertz and the amount of net proceeds received from the Capital Markets Offerings. The anticipated redemption date is August 11, 2019 or, if the conditions precedent are not satisfied on or prior to August 11, 2019, such later date (but not later than September 10, 2019) as such conditions precedent are so satisfied.

    This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes (and the guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of the Notes (or any guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. The Notes (and the guarantees of the Notes) will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside of the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the Notes (or the guarantees of the Notes) have been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state and other jurisdiction’s securities laws.

    This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the indentures governing the 2020 Notes or the 2021 Notes, nor an offer to tender for, or purchase, any 2020 Notes, any 2021 Notes or any other security. There can be no assurances that the conditions precedent to the redemptions will be satisfied or that the redemptions will occur.

    Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty Welcome Debit Cards in Europe, Offering Customers Greater Choice and Convenience in Time for the Summer Holiday Season – Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty customers can now use a debit card payment option across selected European locations instead of a credit card if they prefer – Debit card car rentals are available at Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty locations in Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Slovakia, mainland Spain and the UK – Simplified “Pay Your Own Way” policy provides customers with flexibility and convenience by allowing them to choose how they want to pay

    LONDON, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Europe Ltd, part of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ), has announced that customers of Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty can now rent a car using a valid debit card in a host of countries across Europe. The new, easy payment option gives customers with a Debit Mastercard or other recognised debit cards access to standard car and van rentals at key European locations, opening up the rental market for new users in time for the summer holiday season.

    The updated policy applies to locations in Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Slovakia, mainland Spain and the UK.

    Although the majority of people renting cars today pay with a credit card, many people across Europe do not have access to one. In addition, recent Mastercard research shows that people are increasingly using their debit card. In 2016, more than seventy percent (70%) of all card payment transactions in Europe were made with debit cards, representing over €2 trillion in card payments1, with additional research showing that fifty percent (50%) of people carry debit cards only2.

    Tracy Gehlan, Senior Vice President, Hertz Europe, commented: "A significant number of people do not have access to a credit card or simply prefer to use their debit card for certain transactions. With the holiday season fast approaching, we are pleased to make it easier for our customers to pay by debit card in thousands of locations across Europe. The new ‘pay your own way’ option is all about offering customers greater flexibility, convenience and choice in how they rent from us, putting them in the driving seat."

    Gehlan added: "As part of our ongoing commitment to customer excellence, our guests wishing to use a debit card can expect the same ease of service as with a credit card."

    Mauro Fiorentino, Vice President of Merchant Partnerships at Mastercard commented: "We know people’s choice of how to pay differs, so it’s essential we work together with partners like Hertz to broaden acceptance and give customers that choice in how to pay. Enabling Debit Mastercard acceptance at Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty is a major step forward and it will improve the overall customer experience for our cardholders across Europe."

    Customers who prefer to use a debit card must have a Debit Mastercard or other recognised debit cards, and will undergo the same ID and Driving Licence checks before renting the vehicle. A pre-authorised deposit for the vehicle will be held on the customer’s account.

    Once the vehicle has been returned, reserved amount/deposit will be released less any owed charges. Typically, it can take four to seven days for the customer’s deposit to appear back in their account, depending on the card issuer. Hertz advises customers to check with their card issuer for further details.

    • At the time of pick-up the main driver will need to present a valid driver’s licence, a passport or ID card, and the credit or debit card that was used for the booking online. This MUST be presented by the person in whose name the vehicle was booked.
    • Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty will reserve credit (if paying with a credit card) or take a pre-authorised deposit (if paying with a debit card) to cover the estimated charges arising from the customer’s rental, including a full tank of fuel. The reserved credit/deposit will be released on final calculation and payment of the rental charges on return (minus any charges). Customers should check with their card issuer on when their deposit will appear in their account (est. 4-7 days, but it could take up to 30 days).
    • At the time of rental, credit or charge cards must have available credit, and acceptable debit/check cards must have available funds, sufficient to pay the estimated amount of the rental charges plus the credit reserved or deposit pre-authorised by Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty.
    • Customers may find a slight variation between the exchange rate received when collecting their car compared to when they return it. The exchange rate is given to customers by their bank, so customers are advised to refer to their bank’s policy for more information.
    • For some car groups (Premium) the driver may be required to present one or two credit cards. Details can be found in the Forms of Payment information.

    Launching at Frankfurt Airport, the new "Kollektion 7 – Made in Germany" includes prestige vehicles from top German brands: BMW, Mercedes Benz and Porsche. The new country collection proposition, featuring luxurious Kollektion 7-branded lounges, is rolling out to six further locations across Germany, with Düsseldorf and Munich launching later in 2019.

The compact SUV Porsche Macan S blends sportiness, design and practicality with impressive efficiency – an ideal choice for family outings. The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid, meanwhile, demonstrates that top performance is also sustainable.

Hertz expands its multi-month rental program with new two-tiered subscription service in Atlanta and Austin

    Hertz Introduces Greater Flexibility and Freedom with New Vehicle Subscription Service Hertz expands its multi-month rental program with new two-tiered subscription service in Atlanta and Austin

    ESTERO, Fla., June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation, (NYSE: HTZ) one of the world’s largest car rental companies, today announced a vehicle-subscription service that will give customers even more flexibility and freedom with their transportation needs. Hertz My Car, which is available in Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas, will give customers access to Hertz’s best fleet ever, including a diverse range of sedans, crossovers, SUVs and trucks through a convenient, all-inclusive monthly subscription. Hertz will offer two tiers of the program to best suit customers’ preferences.

    Continue Reading

    "Hertz My Car enables customers to choose vehicles that best match their needs and offers freedom and flexibility from vehicle ownership and maintenance costs, which is especially appealing to those seeking alternatives to owning or leasing a car," said Jayesh Patel, Hertz Senior Vice President of Brand. "Atlanta and Austin are prime testing grounds with diverse and progressive communities and we look forward to combining the insights we gain there with our fleet management and service expertise to expand Hertz My Car leveraging our extensive network of more than 3,500 Hertz locations nationwide."

    Consumer preferences toward vehicle ownership and leasing are shifting. According to a survey by Cox Automotive, nearly 40 percent of those surveyed said that while access to transportation is necessary, owning a vehicle is not. For urban respondents, 57 percent said private vehicle ownership is not necessary to get from point A to point B.

    For consumers interested in vehicle subscription, Hertz My Car provides a hassle-free, all-inclusive solution that gives customers access to a wide variety of vehicles that fit their budget and needs, and with no long-term commitments.

    How Hertz My Car Works
    Subscribers to Hertz My Car have the flexibility to choose from two subscription tiers. Tier One, at $999* includes full-size sedans, small SUVs and trucks, while Tier Two offers luxury sedans, regular SUVs and large trucks for $1,399*. Customers can exchange their vehicle twice a month to another make or model within the tier so they always have the vehicle that best fits their needs. The all-inclusive monthly subscription covers vehicle maintenance, roadside assistance, vehicle damage and limited liability protection.

    "As we see consumer transportation needs change, it’s an exciting time to further evolve our products and services to deliver on our value proposition – at Hertz, we’re here to get you there," said Patel. "We feel well positioned to lead in vehicle subscription services. We’ve seen growth in our longer-term rentals in recent years which we believe is one of several positive indicators the time is right for this service. We also have a strong and consistent focus on enhancing our customers’ experience including recent innovations such as our redesigned mobile app and Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR that gets customers on the road faster than before."

    Innovative and Evolving Mobility Solutions
    Hertz My Car is part of Hertz’s continued commitment to meet consumers’ unique and individual transportation needs with a wide variety of innovative transportation solutions domestically and globally. Hertz My Car is Hertz’s first subscription service in the U.S. that builds on its multi-month rental program. The company also provides ride-hailing rental programs, corporate rental and vehicle leasing programs, and sells used vehicles through Hertz Car Sales and Hertz Rent2Buy. Hertz also recently launched a weekend vehicle subscription program in Italy – My Hertz Weekend and provides chauffer services and the touchless, hourly car rental program Hertz 24/7 in select international markets.
