ESTERO, Fla, March 26, 2026 – For travelers missing or delaying vacations because of long TSA lines, Hertz has a solution to stay in control of travel plans: get in the car and go.

Whether you’re stuck at the airport or at home, Hertz is offering up to 25% off last-minute reservations and one-way car rentals at thousands of airports and neighborhood locations across the country.   

Here’s what Hertz is seeing right now: 

• Over the last week, search traffic to Hertz.com jumped 15% — signaling that travelers may be considering other ways or back up plans to reach their destination.  

• One in three customers are currently renting cars specifically for road trips and driving vacations. 

To ensure a fast and smooth car rental experience, Hertz recommends: 

1. Locking in your gas price. At Hertz, you can prepay for refueling at pickup to lock in pricing to avoid sticker shock at the pump and save time at return. 
2. Adding your flight information to your car rental reservation. Our team actively monitors flight delays and cancellations, and adding your flight information can help protect your reservation. 
3. Booking at a neighborhood location. To avoid airport disruptions, Hertz has thousands of convenient neighborhood locations across the country. 
4. Modifying your reservation on the Hertz app or Hertz.com if your travel plans get disrupted and you need to make changes.  
5. Joining Hertz Gold+ (it’s free!) to skip the counter and go straight to your car when you land. This benefit can be a huge timesaver, especially after flight delays.
