Car Rental with Hertz
Temmuz 14th, 2008 | by admin |
Renting a car is part of the very daily life. Yet there are many options and it is especially important to know about the services of the car rental companies. This review is about Hertz company.
New Features of Hertz Website and Services:
$1 from every Green Collection rental goes to the National Park Foundation.
Fun collection rentals now available.
Free tank of gas with a week-long full-size rental.
Favorite Feature:
The fact that Hertz rents out luxury and “fun” cars such as Hummers, Lincoln SUVs, Corvettes, Miatas and more is really nice.
Navigating Through Hertz Website:
We can judge that the Hertz website is “prettier” than the other car rental service websites. Rather than the dull “corporate” look, the Hertz website offers a fun and friendly look and feel. One of the first things you’ll notice is the “Green” “Fun” and “Prestige” collection advertisements. After all, who wouldn’t want the chance to cruise around in a Corvette for a week or save gas with an eco-friendly car?
Like the other car rental services on the Web, the Hertz homepage allows you to enter your rental needs into an easy-to-use form that provided us with our rental options. When filling out the form, you’ll be provided with two locations to choose from. After choosing our location, you will be presented with our Hertz rental options.

Hertz Customer Support:
You are presented a good service of support on Hertz website. Hertz offers customer support via an FAQ database, phone support and email, all of which is accessible from their Contact Us page (although the email option section looked more like an FAQ at first glance than an actual email contact list).
Although website and phone support are very fast and handy to help, the email feedback may be a little slow.
If you’re going to use Hertz for your car rental need, we recommend opting for phone support rather than the email variety.
Points Upside:
Fun cars, great promotions, attractive website.
Points Downside:
Higher prices.
Final Evaluation:
Hertz offers some great selections, such as high-end rentals like Hummers, Corvettes and other fun rides. Although their pricing is a little higher than some of the other car rental services, you can get a free tank of gas with a week-long full-size rental supported with a good background service.
We hope you’ll enjoy your trip with Hertz experience.
