Hertz Launches Exclusive Fly and Drive Packages with Emirates
Hertz and Emirates airlines provide special airfare and rental car package rates for UAE-based customers traveling to more than 21 top destinations.
Hertz and Emirates airlines have teamed up to provide United Arab Emirates-based customers exclusive fly and drive packages to certain overseas destinations. Emirates business class and economy class passengers can take advantage of these special offers when traveling to more than 21 cities in Europe, U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Available for bookings and travel until Aug. 31, the combined flight and car rental packages are offered for three- or seven-day periods.
Elyes Mrad, vice president of sales and marketing for Hertz International, said: “The Hertz and Emirates Fly & Drive packages offer a plethora of choice for our UAE-based travelers, whether they are looking to unravel the many wonders of Melbourne, Australia, or experience the iconic USA road trip between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.”
“This is the first time Hertz and Emirates have offered such an exclusive promotion to our customers. The combined airfare and car rental rates are very competitive for what is a peak travel period during hotter summer months when many UAE residents look to escape the heat,” added Mrad.
