To celebrate Spring 2022 college graduates, today Hertz launched a new offer designed specifically to meet the needs of young renters. College graduates under 25 who become a Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® member will get the Young Renter Fee waived* when they rent by signing up at hertz.com/grads.
Gold Plus Rewards members enjoy a faster pickup and drop-off experience. Free to join, benefits start from day one and include:
- Choosing from a wide selection of cars from fuel-free EVs, luxury sedans and sports cars to SUVs, trucks, vans and more
- Skipping the counter and going straight to your car at select locations
- Earning points toward free rental days and upgrades
- Adding an additional driver for free*
- Dropping the keys and going at return
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate the class of 2022,” said Laura Smith, Hertz Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Experience. “Introducing younger customers to our brand is vital as we create a new Hertz and become a leader in the future of mobility and travel. This new loyalty offering for young renters, our industry-leading investment in EVs, and the upcoming digital enhancements we’re making to further enable a fast and seamless car rental experience are a few examples of how we’re appealing to Gen Z’s values, unique needs and preferences.”
Perfectly timed to align with college graduations around the country and ahead of the busy summer moving season, Hertz has also expanded its U.S. rental fleet to include 12- and 16-foot box trucks that are available for rent for business and personal use at select Hertz neighborhood locations. Hertz continues to offer a broad range of vehicles to support customers’ diverse transportation and mobility needs, including helping grads move on to their next chapter whether that be relocating for their first job, or transitioning to a new apartment or house.
The new, modern box trucks feature state-of-the-art safety features and are easy to drive with automatic transmissions, parking sensors and rearview cameras. Hertz also offers moving supplies like dollies, hand trucks, tie-down straps and padlocks that can be added to rentals at select locations. In addition to box trucks, Hertz also has pickup trucks and cargo vans available to rent at its Hertz neighborhood locations.
