LONDON, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Europe Ltd,
part of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ), has expanded its
monthly car subscription service My Hertz Weekend, which is now
available in France, Germany, Italy, Spain
and United Kingdom, becoming the
car rental leader in this space. This flexible, cost effective
alternative to vehicle ownership provides customers with access to
a car from Thursday to Monday, helping to make their weekends
better and longer.
Vincent Gillet, Vice President
Marketing, International, said: "Following the launch of My Hertz
Weekend in Italy in May, we've had
very positive feedback, which encouraged us to expand the service
to more locations across Europe.
"A convenient alternative to car sharing and leasing, My Hertz
Weekend responds to the current shift in attitude regarding car
ownership as well as to the growth in the renting and subscription
economy. We are confident that it will tackle the needs of
customers who, for instance, live in a city and don't need a
vehicle during the week, or families that own a car but need a
second car during the weekend."
How My Hertz Weekend Works
After signing up for free, My Hertz Weekend subscribers benefit
from the use of a small, medium, large or premium Hertz vehicle
every weekend for a month or longer - with no long-term
commitment required. Customers do not need to book their pick up
each time; their car will be ready for collection every weekend of
the month/s subscribed.
Subscribers pick-up and drop-off their cars at a "base" of their
choice from a list of 50 participating locations in Barcelona, Bologna, London (St Pancras International),
Madrid, Milan, Oxford, Rome, Turin,
Cologne, Lyon, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, at flexible times. My Hertz
Weekend vehicles can be collected as early as 2:00 pm on Thursday and be returned to the same
location any time before 12 noon on Monday.
The service includes unlimited mileage and a free additional
driver, with fixed rates starting from €195 per month in
Italy and Germany, making My Hertz Weekend more cost
effective than other forms of vehicle subscription, such as car
sharing or leasing.
In order to subscribe to My Hertz Weekend, renters must be
members of Hertz's complementary loyalty program, Gold Plus
Rewards. The program allows members to earn rewards, enjoy special
discounts, and bypass counters at more than 50 of the world's
busiest airports.

Notes to editors
The basic rate for the Hertz My Weekend car subscription service
includes: unlimited mileage, Theft Protection and Collision Damage
Waiver (excess applies), taxes, and additional driver allowance at
no extra cost. The "Basic Rate plus SuperCover" option includes all
of the features in the basic rate, but with zero excess applied to
the Theft Protection and Collision Damage Waiver products.
The minimum contract period is one month.
The price of fuel is not included in the monthly rate so
customers are requested to return the car with a full tank each
time to avoid extra charges for the missing fuel and the payment of
an administration fee. The service station used to refuel the car
should be as close to the Hertz drop off location as possible
(within 15km).
