If you want to avoid paying more for a car that you might not like, you can opt out of Ultimate Choice. Basically, if you rent a car from Hertz, you will be assigned a midsize car. Hertz defines a middle-sized car as a Group “C” car. You can reserve a car in advance if you are certain about the vehicle you desire. These cars are typically more expensive and are located within the President's Circle area.
President's Circle
A membership in the Hertz President's Circle gives members access to special benefits and services. Hertz offers a 50% discount on car rentals for domestic partners and spouses. A second benefit is the ability to gift your status a friend or relative. This opportunity is available through June 30th of the following year. If you're interested in joining the Hertz President's Circle, here are some ways to get started.
5-Star Aisle
Five-Star Aisle from Hertz Ultimate Choice gives members the option of full-size or compact cars. Members who have Hertz Platinum Plus Rewards can skip the queue and book a midsize car. A group of vehicles with upgraded features is also available to them. You can find full-size cars, SUVs and minivans in the Hertz Five Star Aisle.
Emerald Executive Aisle
To qualify for Hertz Emerald Executive Aisle, you must rent at least twelve cars per calendar year. Additionally, you will need to have certain credit cards. For those who meet the criteria, they will be eligible for a free upgrade into an executive car if they pay the middle rate. You can also select any car you wish from the executive range and only pay the middle rate if driving to an Emerald Aisle airstrip.
Rent for a week and get a discount
If you sign up to the Gold Plus Rewards program, you can receive a discount for a one-week Hertz rental car. You can book a car from the middle-sized or higher class range through this program. You can choose between many colors, makes, models, and even sizes. These discounts can save you a lot of money on car rentals. They can be used as often as you need, which is the best thing about them.
Upgrades for loyal members
Hertz Gold loyalty members can enjoy the Ultimate Choice upgrade. Customers can upgrade from their cheapest car to a higher-category vehicle for $35 per day plus tax. When comparing upgrades to regular rentals, it is worth noting that loyalty members will get a 25% bonus. This feature is not offered at all locations. Please check the Hertz website for more information.
