"The collision repair industries are important to Hertz and our network of neighborhood locations," said Hertz Senior Vice President, John Holt.

Our attendance at SEMA and our sponsorship of SCRS’ RDE educational series will be instrumental in growing the Hertz business, especially in the insurance replacement market, while educating attendees on the products and services Hertz offers to provide customers with the fastest and easiest car rental experience in the industry."

"Growing the Collision Repair & Refinish footprint in the SEMA Show has been an area of focus for SCRS," stated SCRS Executive Director Aaron Schulenburg. "We couldn’t be more pleased that a longtime member of SCRS, such as Hertz, is bringing the value proposition of their unique services to the show as the first rental vehicle provider to be exhibiting at the SEMA Show."

• Choose Control: Hertz Gold Choice gives the customer the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose another, something no other car rental brand offers.

• Acceler-Rental: Hertz is the first rental company to offer airport and neighborhood location customers the ability to rent cars through a live face-to-face video kiosk with Hertz ExpressRent™ kiosks.
• Mobile Apps: As consumers are looking to mobile technologies as a way to take back control of their travel experience, from on-the-go bookings to instant upgrades.
  • Hertz Mobile App: Book, modify and search car rental reservations, find locations, and browse special deals and offers all from the palm of your hand.
  • Hertz NeverLost My Explore App: Users can plan their itinerary and navigate popular cities all on their smart phone and import it into a calendar or to the award-winning Hertz NeverLost® GPS.
  • Hertz 24/7 Mobile App: Customers have 24/7 access to a variety of vehicles when and where they need them with the ability to reserve a car or modify an existing reservation and view upcoming and previous reservations.

Held throughout the duration of SEMA, SCRS’ RDE educational series presents attendees with a variety of programs that address the issues faced in today’s collision repair businesses. The education program is presented each day of the SEMA Show, and features some of the industry’s most respected subject matter experts.

"In addition to ensuring that collision repairers find the most value in the exhibition halls, we appreciate that Hertz has continued their priority of supporting collision industry education through their sponsorship of SCRS’ Repairer Driven Education series. It is this kind of support that helps SCRS put thousands of collision repair professionals in front of the industry’s most well respected subject matter experts to help bring tangible solutions to improve their business. We’re proud of the caliber of companies we call partners and are thrilled to include Hertz in that list," commented Schulenburg.

For 2013, SCRS’s RDE series features a variety of courses, including three new tracks, designed to address the trends reshaping the industry:

1. Understanding your business: provides training around fundamental components of running a successful collision repair business.
2. Enhancing your business: focuses on business development and improvement such as production techniques, office efficiency, and creating a turn-key business.
3. Positioning your business: presents solutions on competing in the marketplace and selling one’s services.

The Hertz 24/7 fleet for the University’s car club includes low emission Ford Fiesta’s, and an all-electric Mitsubishi IMiEV. The Oxford Brookes Car Club is part of the University’s on-going commitment to reduce travel costs and its carbon footprint.

Michel Taride, Group President, Hertz International, said: "We are delighted to collaborate with Oxford Brookes University to provide the convenience and environmental benefits of Hertz 24/7 to staff and students alike. The technology-enhanced Hertz 24/7 pool fleet for the University’s car club will help ease local congestion through shared vehicle use, while providing an alternative to driving a privately-owned car."

Henning Thiel, Sustainability Manager of Oxford Brookes University, said: "Hertz 24/7 will be an important addition to the University’s suite of transport solutions which provides an excellent service to our staff and students. While increasing the quality of the student experience, the car club will also help the University in reducing our environmental impacts and will have a positive effect on our local community by alleviating traffic and parking conditions."

The Hertz 24/7 cars for the Oxford Brookes Car Club are located at University buildings and student halls. These include the main campus at Gipsy Lane Site, the Clive Booth Student Village, Headington Hill Site, Marston Road Site, Wheatley Campus, Harcourt Hill Campus, Warnerford Hall and Crescent Hall. Members of the Oxford scheme can also access a network of Hertz 24/7 vehicles located across the country.

Students and staff can easily book the vehicles online, by phone, or by using iPhone or Android apps and, as with all 24/7 vehicles, RFID technology allows keyless entry to any vehicle in the fleet. While on the road, members have 24/7 one-touch access to the Customer Care Centre through the in-car hands-free telecom technology.

All 24/7 bookings include insurance, cleaning, maintenance and VAT, with standard rates starting from £5.50 per hour. Oxford Brookes Car Club members will also be able to use the Hertz 24/7 service in the UK, US, France, Germany, Spain and Australia for hourly, daily or weekly rentals, with any time instant access.

Oxford Brookes is the latest educational institution for Hertz’s 24/7 program in the UK, which also serves Imperial College London, Reading University and London’s Brunel University. Hertz 24/7 also partners with over 50 universities in the United States.

Hertz 24/7 offers technology-enhanced vehicles in convenient locations across the UK, US, France, Germany, Spain and Australia. Providing round-the-clock access to vehicles for hire by the hour, day, week or month, Hertz currently has 35,000 vehicles (including cars, mini-vans, vans and SUVs) equipped for 24/7 rentals. As Hertz continues to roll out the technology through its global fleet, around 500,000 vehicles are expected to be in the network by 2016, which is expected to be ten times the size of the current car sharing industry combined.
