Hertz
Hertz has been renting vehicles since 1918 and rents cars and vans throughout the UK, with its UK office in Uxbridge. The fleet stretches from small economy cars to saloons, SUVs and luxury models. For house moves or business jobs, Hertz 24/7 offers vans by the hour or by the day.
About Hertz
Cars, vans and EVs
Compact cars handle city driving, saloons suit business trips and SUVs give families more room. Luxury models are there for special occasions. Hertz has grown its electric fleet in the UK, and EVs can be picked up at major locations, with charging guidance provided.
Van hire covers small panel vans through to larger commercial vehicles. The Hertz 24/7 service rents them hourly or daily, which suits short jobs.
What you need at the counter
Drivers need a full licence held for at least a year. The deposit goes on a credit card that belongs to the lead driver. Minimum ages usually sit between 21 and 25, depending on the vehicle. Visitors whose licence isn't in English also need an International Driving Permit.
Extra drivers can be added for a daily fee and must bring their licence to pick-up. Fuel can be returned full, or a full tank can be prepaid.
Booking terms
Confirmation comes by email straight away. Cancellation rules depend on the rate type, and prepaid bookings may differ from pay-later ones, so read the terms first. Some locations can deliver a vehicle to an address for an extra fee.
Hertz takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and debit cards. Gold Plus Rewards members can skip the counter and earn points towards free rentals, and students and military personnel have their own discount schemes.
Sustainability at Hertz
Hertz is committed to fleet electrification, significantly expanding its electric vehicle offerings. The company works to reduce emissions across operations and offers customers the choice of eco-friendly vehicles, contributing to more sustainable travel.
