Hertz Global Holdings Inc. has announced that its Hertz, Thrifty, and Firefly brands will serve as Air France's exclusive car rental providers for four years, following the renewal of the 28-year partnership between Hertz and Air France–KLM Group.

In addition, the three car rental brands will also become the exclusive car rental providers of the Air France-KLM Group's regional airline HOP! until the end of 2020.

As part of the enhanced agreement, Air France passengers will receive up to 15% discount on Hertz basic car rental and up to a 10% discount on Thrifty and Firefly basic car rental, worldwide.
