Book Hertz car rental

What Hertz is known for

Wide airport coverage and a loyalty programme that regular renters use to skip the queue. The brand also runs speciality vehicle collections, which is unusual at this scale.

Tends to suit

• Airport pick-ups
• Frequent renters
• Business travel

Vehicles and categories

Ranges from compact everyday cars to larger SUVs, with premium and speciality options at selected locations. What is actually on the lot varies by branch and date.

Regular renters often join the loyalty scheme to go straight to the vehicle rather than queue at a desk. Worth asking about if you rent more than once or twice a year.

Popular Hertz pick-up points

Before you book

These apply to every rental company, Hertz included, and they are where most unexpected charges come from.

• What you need to collect a car

  A full driving licence held for the operator's minimum period, a payment card in the main driver's name for the security hold, and photo ID or a passport when renting abroad. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence.

• How insurance and excess work

  Rentals include basic cover with an excess - the amount you are liable for if the car is damaged. You can reduce it at the counter, through a separate policy, or sometimes through your own credit card. We explain the options; the choice stays yours.

• Fuel policies

  Full-to-full is usually the fairest: you collect a full tank and return it full. Prepaid fuel only pays off if you return the car close to empty. We tell you which policy applies before you book.

• Driver age and extra drivers

  Drivers under 25 often face a young-driver surcharge and are restricted from larger or premium categories. Additional drivers must be registered and usually carry a daily fee. Tell us who is driving and we will price it properly.

How to request a Hertz car
