To celebrate the new agreement, Hertz Global has launched discounts of up to 20% on basic car rental for Cathay Pacific's passengers renting with Hertz at participating locations in the U.S, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

In order to benefit from the promotion, passengers need to book their Hertz vehicle before Jan. 31, 2017 and collect it between Jan. 1 and March 31, according to the company. Additionally, members of Asia Miles, Cathay Pacific's frequent flyer program, will also earn up to 2,000 extra miles for every qualifying rental. Specific terms and conditions apply.

This new agreement is the extension of the longstanding partnership between Hertz and Cathay Pacific's frequent flyer program Asia Miles. Members of Asia Miles will continue to earn up to 500 Asia Miles and receive a 10% discount on basic car rental when renting with Hertz, according to the company.

Additionally, Green and Silver members of the airline's Marco Polo Club will receive a complimentary one car class upgrade.
