LONDON, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:HTZ) announced that Hertz UK has launched a
full rental service from Sofitel London Gatwick Hotel, becoming the
only car rental company to have fleet available at the airport's
North Terminal. Hertz customers landing at the North Terminal will
no longer need to take the inter-terminal shuttle to the South
Terminal to collect their vehicle.
Rafael Girona, Vice President
North Europe, Hertz said: "The opening of our new branch at Gatwick
Airport's North Terminal represents an important milestone in our
UK expansion. Hertz is now the only car rental provider to have
vehicles as well as a desk at the North Terminal. This advantage
means that Hertz customers do not need to travel between terminals
to collect their car. With some of the most important European and
US airlines flying to and from the North Terminal, we trust our new
branch will be welcomed by travellers who need to hit the road
quickly."
Situated in the Sofitel hotel lobby, the Hertz branch is clearly
signposted at the North Terminal and is easily reached via a short
walkway. The location increases Hertz's presence at Gatwick
Airport, as the company continues to serve customers from its
existing branch at the South Terminal.
London Gatwick is the second
largest airport in the UK. In 2016 it registered a traffic of 43.1
million passengers. Fifty-three airlines currently operate (as
at December 2016) regularly from the
airport* including Hertz's valued partners Virgin Atlantic and
Emirates.
The opening of the new rental branch at London Gatwick, North
Terminal, is part of Hertz's ongoing investment in the expansion of
its UK network. The company has also recently opened a new rental
location at Penzance, increasing
its footprint in Devon and
Cornwall to cater to the growing
number of tourists in the area.
