Hertz Launches Hourly Rentals in Boston
The program requires no fuel charge, application fees or charges for cancelling or changing a reservation.
Hertz recently launched Hertz Hourly Rentals at its Boston Park Plaza location.
The program requires no fuel charge, application fees or charges for cancelling or changing a reservation. Hertz Hourly Rentals also include unlimited mileage and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.
“For small errands, quick daytrips, or even lugging groceries, sometimes a personal vehicle is simply the most convenient way to travel throughout the city," says Pete Smith, Hertz regional vice president, New England. "With the unveiling of Hertz Hourly Rentals in Boston, we're offering our customers the most convenient way to access a reliable rental vehicle–with no strings, commitment or additional fees."
Hertz Hourly Rental rates start at $12 per hour and include one-year complimentary membership in Hertz #1 Club Gold, Hertz's membership program (a $50 value).
Vehicle models ranging from compact to midsize sedans, midsize SUVs and Green Collection vehicles are all available for hourly rentals. Add-on services such as EZ-Pass tag rentals, additional drivers, child seats and other optional services are also options.
Hertz Hourly Rentals can be reserved by calling (877) 262-3539.
