Hertz Launches Hourly Rental Program in New York City, Offering ’No Strings’ Short-Term Rental Options

PARK RIDGE, NJ - From Giant Stadium to ’The Rockaways,’ from shopping at the Fairway complex in Brooklyn to outlet-hopping at Woodbury Commons, countless New York area attractions are now within easier reach with the launch of “Hertz Hourly Rentals,” available at three Manhattan locations. With no fuel charge, no application fees and no fees for cancelling or changing a reservation, Hertz Hourly Rentals are truly the easiest way to rent a car on an hourly basis. As with all Hertz rentals, Hertz Hourly Rentals also include unlimited mileage and 24-hour Emergency Roadside Assistance.

“Although New York City boasts one of the world’s largest mass transit systems, for small errands, quick daytrips, or even lugging groceries, sometimes a personal vehicle is simply the most convenient way to travel,” said Scott Gaines, Hertz Regional Vice President, New York. “With the unveiling of Hertz Hourly Rentals, we’re offering our customers the most convenient way to access a reliable rental vehicle -- with no strings, commitment or additional fees.”

Hertz Hourly Rental rates start as low as $12.00 per hour and include one-year complimentary membership in Hertz #1 Club Gold, Hertz’s top-rated membership program. Numerous vehicle models are available ranging from compact to midsize sedans, midsize SUVs and Hertz’s recently launched Green Collection vehicles, featuring fuel-efficient, environmentally-friendly models. Add-on services such as EZ-Pass tag rentals, additional drivers, child seats, and other optional services are also available on Hertz hourly rentals.
