LONDON, Jan. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Hertz Corporation (NYSE:HTZ) has been named Best Car Rental Company by industry experts at the Business Travel Awards 2015, one of the most significant fixtures in the travel industry calendar.

Hertz won the acclaim of judges for "its on-going ability to constantly review the car rental market and what its customers really want, and adapt and innovate accordingly." The panel, made up of respected senior business travel buyers and specialist journalists, also praised Hertz for its "great global reach and excellent CSR record."

The award was announced at a glittering event at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel this week, attended by more than 1,200 travel industry leaders and top corporate clients. The competition – described as "the most fiercely contested" of recent years – recognises the achievements of the travel industry’s leading businesses, teams and individuals who have performed outstandingly in their chosen field over the last 12 months.

"We’re delighted the judges recognized our hard work in pushing the boundaries of car hire in the past year," said Neil Cunningham, General Manager, Hertz UK. "We are constantly adapting to the needs of our customers to provide innovative car rental solutions and services that fit around their changing lifestyles. Some examples of this are our Hertz 24/7 technology, our unique Hertz Collections and our enhanced loyalty program Gold Plus Rewards."

Additionally, partnerships with international and national retailers such as B&Q, Costco Ikea and Homebase allow customers to access by-the-hour van hire at competitive rates from the stores to take large purchases home straightaway.

In 2014 Hertz launched in the UK and other European countries its Dream Collection of luxury vehicles, making iconic cars such as the Aston Martin DB9, Bentley Continental GT, and Nissan GT-R available for hire. The collection, available in the US as Dream Cars since 2013, is the latest addition to the unique and distinctive Hertz Collections that include The Prestige, Fun, Green and Family Collections to cater to any kind of car hire need.

Last year also saw the enhancement of the company’s awards winning loyalty program, Gold Plus Rewards, which now offers members the opportunity to earn extra points, redeem them faster for award rental days and enjoy an even faster and easier car rental experience.

LONDON, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Motorists must properly prepare their vehicles ahead of the cold snap to avoid putting themselves and other road users at risk, the Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) and the AA have warned.

With the mercury plunging and snow and ice on the way, the world’s leading general use car rental brand and its partner the AA have compiled their top 10 tips for staying safe on the road this winter.

Continue Reading

By taking a few simple measures before setting off, drivers can reduce the risk of accidents and breakdowns in adverse weather, they said.

"Roads can quickly become treacherous in winter weather but with a little planning, drivers can help reduce the risks," said Neil Cunningham, General Manager, Hertz UK. "Above all, we urge motorists to allow more time for journeys in winter weather to ensure their cars are properly prepared and to avoid rushing. With our rich heritage in motoring, road safety is one of our key priorities and we are keen to share our advice with drivers. We also offer winter accessories with our rentals, such as winter tyres and snow chains."

Edmund King, president of the AA, added: "It’s crucial that drivers prepare before setting out in wintry weather. Simple measures such as properly clearing all the vehicle’s windows, mirrors and lights of ice and snow or doubling your distance in rain, snow and ice can be the difference between arriving safely and having an accident."

Hertz and the AA recommend that drivers go through the following checklist before getting behind the wheel this winter:

1. Check the vehicle before wintry weather sets in. Lights, mirrors and windows should be completely clear before setting off, and screen wash topped up at all times with a proper additive.
2. Keep up to date on weather conditions and the state of the roads. Check the latest traffic and travel information before setting off on long journeys to help avoid getting stranded in freezing conditions.
3. Stock up for emergencies and long delays in cold weather. Prepare a kit with basic items such as coats, blankets, water, food, atlas or satnav and a torch. Also remember to keep a fully-charged mobile phone and in-car charger to report breakdowns and emergencies if necessary.
4. Tyres should be examined for adequate tread and pressures checked, while snow chains or winter tyres may be advisable in more remote areas.
5. Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel at all times to avoid running out if caught in long delays in bad weather.
6. Keep your distance. Drivers should increase the braking distance between themselves and the vehicle in front in wintry conditions and keep their speed in check. The normal driving distance on a dry road is at least a two-second gap but this should be doubled in wintry conditions and at least trebled when driving on snow or ice.
7. Use an ice scraper and/or de-icer spray to clear a frozen windscreen rather than using hot water, which can crack the windscreen. Use the blowers and air conditioning to clear condensation on the inside.
8. Avoid braking sharply on icy surfaces. Ice is not normally visible, so apply brakes gently to eliminate the risk of skidding.
9. Beware of aquaplaning. It occurs when tyres skid on surface water causing control on steering wheel to be lost. When this happens, instead of stepping on the brakes, it is safer to hold the steering wheel lightly and slowly lift the foot from the accelerator till the tyres regain their grip.
10. When driving in snow, use a high gear to avoid wheel spin. If stuck, keep the wheels straight and move forwards and backwards gently to regain traction.

More useful information on how to prepare for winter driving is available from the AA’s website. To learn more about Hertz’s winter offering and promotions, visit www.hertz.co.uk.

LONDON, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The secret to avoiding arguments in the car this holiday season is as simple as plugging in a reliable satellite navigation device(satnav), research by The Hertz Corporation (NYSE:HTZ) in the UK found. According to Hertz’s poll, the most common cause of in-car rows is getting lost and bickering over directions.

With millions of motorists predicted to hit the roads from December 19, the risk of family flare-ups is greater than ever.

Continue Reading

More than four in 10 drivers (44%) named navigation as the most likely cause of a dispute during a family car journey, while nearly half (48%) said a satnav was the most important item to pack.

Parents should also remember to take some gadgets to occupy their children, as the survey found noisy and naughty youngsters are the second biggest reason for disagreements –voted for by 40% of motorists. Almost a third (29%) identified games and entertainment as the top items to take on a family trip.

The satnav may also come in handy for finding alternative routes, as, according to the survey’s findings, the third most common cause of arguments is getting stuck in traffic.

"With so many people on the roads, the holidays can be a stressful time for families to spend in the car, said Michel Taride, Group President, Hertz International. "Last year brought storms and floods that left people stranded in their vehicles and delayed journeys."

"Our research shows that a little planning and a few essential items can make the difference between a smooth getaway and a nightmare trip," Taride continued.

For those hiring vehicles for their holiday getaway, the Hertz NeverLost® satellite navigation system takes the strain out of mapping the best route. The technology is available on rentals across Europe and features an easy-to-use touch-screen, voice control, Bluetooth for hands-free calls and advanced 3D lane guidance to make junctions simpler to negotiate.

Hertz customers can also travel without the worry of searching for an internet connection or paying exorbitant roaming charges by adding a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot to their rentals. The portable device lets customers easily link tablets, laptops, smartphones and games consoles to the web while on the move.

As families prepare to drive to visit relatives and take holidays this season, Hertz has compiled a list of winter travel essentials to ensure safe and stress-free journeys.

Hertz’s holidays getaway driving checklist

Top 5 causes of car arguments:
1. Getting lost / directions
2. Noisy / naughty children
3. Traffic
4. Partner’s driving skills
5. Lavatory stops

Before you drive off:
1. Screen wash – you will use more when it is cold and if there is salt on the roads, so make sure you have plenty before you set off. Don’t dilute it too much to avoid freezing.
2. Fuel – keep your tank at least a quarter full in case you get stuck in a traffic jam.
3. Battery – get your battery checked and replaced, if necessary, as older ones will run down quickly in the cold and may leave you stranded.
4. Tyres – make sure you have plenty of tread – 2mm minimum – and avoid reducing tyre pressures to get more grip as it is ineffective and makes the car harder to control. Consider snow chains or winter tyres if travelling to snowy regions.
5. Time – avoid the dangers of rushing by allowing plenty of time for your journey, including regular breaks to stay alert.

Top 5 essentials for the trip:
1. Ice scraper and de-icer to clear your windscreen
2. Snow shovel, strips of old carpet or pieces of cardboard, as well as salt or sand to regain traction in ice and snow
3. Blankets, rugs or sleeping bags for long traffic jams
4. Battery jump leads – flat batteries are the most common causes of winter breakdowns
5. Torch and batteries

Top 5 in-car essentials:
1. Satnav and charger or printed route and map to avoid getting lost and arguments
2. Entertainment for children to avoid rows and keep passengers occupied
3. Fully-charged mobile phone and charger
4. Drinks and snacks in case of delays in cold weather
5. Warm clothes, coat, scarf, hat and gloves in case of breakdown or long delays

*1,009 UK respondents in total; 504 of them answered the family-related questions.
