"Kelley Blue Book is a trustworthy source for car shoppers and this relationship will serve Hertz Rent2Buy customers well with these new additions."

"We are pleased to be working with Hertz Rent2Buy and offering Kelley Blue Book Values to their customers," said Damon Bennett, vice president of business development, Kelley Blue Book.
