01 / THE BRAND
What it’s all about.
Hertz is a vehicle rental company offering different car classes and pickup locations. Its value is practical: it can make a rural stay, ski trip or family itinerary possible without coordinating each individual transfer. The right rental is the one that fits the people, luggage and route, with terms you can actually meet at pickup.
Car classes from smaller vehicles to selected SUVs
Airport and neighborhood rental locations
Loyalty benefits and optional additional drivers
02 / WHAT IT COSTS
US additional driver example: $13.50 per day
Hertz’s US qualifications page lists $13.50 daily, capped at $189 per rental, for each additional authorized operator at participating locations, with exemptions. Seven chargeable days would add $94.50. This is an extra, not the vehicle rate. Quote the rental dates and station, then include taxes, location fees, fuel, toll handling and optional products.
Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.

05 / THE SHOPFEST VERDICT
Is it worth your trip?
Worth comparing for a trip where driving meaningfully improves the itinerary. For a city stay, price parking and unused rental days against transfers first. For a family, prioritize luggage and child seat fit over a small daily saving.
