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.
