As a global leading car rental company, Hertz Rent A Car provides car rental services in 146 countries around the world. With more than 8500 car rental outlets and over 40 million bookings per year, the major countries in North America, Europe, Australasia, and Asia are the largest and most mature car rental markets. China is increasingly becoming one of the fastest-growing emerging car rental markets. Hertz has long-term cooperation projects with more than 60 foreign airlines, hotels, and banks. The company continuously offers mileage redemption points and seasonal discounts to provide customers with benefits and surprises.
Hertz reminds you that before renting a car, you can log in to the car rental website to understand the price information of various vehicle groups, check for special promotions, the distribution of rental stores at your destination, and whether there are convenient pick-up points for you, whether at the airport or hotel.
Regarding booking and payment: Online inquiry and booking is a very convenient way. You can log in to each car rental website to learn about the price information of various vehicle groups, check for special promotional activities, the distribution of rental stores at your destination, and whether there are sufficiently convenient pick-up points for you, regardless of whether it's at the airport or hotel. Afterward, you can select a car rental company and proceed with the booking according to the system’s prompts. As for payment methods, you can choose based on your own situation. For example, prepayment services offered by companies like Avis and Dollar allow you to prepay and then carry the prepayment voucher to pick up the car at an overseas location, which not only avoids the hassle of currency exchange locally but also reduces the risk of carrying large amounts of cash. At the same time, when making prepayments domestically, you can freely choose the payment currency and convert it according to the exchange rate of the day. Especially, the price discounts from early reservations often make people feel excited. After you make a reservation through Hertz's booking system, it will generate a confirmation number. You can pay upon arrival at the rental point at your destination. This payment method is more flexible and can avoid the risk of having to pay a certain amount of penalty if you cannot fulfill the contract due to some unexpected situations. It also prevents the need to pay service fees if you modify the order midway. Of course, you can also choose its soon-to-be-launched domestic prepayment service for overseas rentals. You can prepay with a credit card domestically and only need to present the confirmation coupon provided by Hertz China when picking up the car abroad. This can save the limited credit card limit for other consumption and also avoid the possible embarrassment of language communication issues abroad.
Vehicle Selection:
Choosing the right model is crucial as it directly affects the enjoyment of your self-driving trip. Wei Dongmei, regional market manager of Hertz, suggests: you can choose the most suitable model according to your budget, itinerary, and number of people. If it's a two-person trip, you can rent a compact car or a mid-sized SUV, which is economical and practical; if it's four people, it's recommended to rent a standard SUV for better comfort during long-distance travel; if you want to experience luxury cars, you can try Lincoln Navigator or Cadillac Escalade; on sunny days and warm seasons, you can try a convertible sports car; for business trips with multiple people, seven-seater commercial vans and five-seater vehicles with plenty of luggage space are very suitable choices. In terms of vehicle selection, Dollar collaborates with America's best RV rental company, Dream Adventures RV Rentals, to launch an RV rental plan, where you can drive this dream house around for travel. Of course, besides your beloved family, you can also bring your pet along, they surely won't object, just that you'll have to pay a small extra fee!
How to Pick Up the Car:
Typically, you can pick up the car directly at major airports worldwide. These international car rental companies have stores set up at airports to offer the most convenient and quick services, with prominent logos that you won't miss. Upon arriving at the counter, you just need to provide your passport, Chinese driver's license, original English notarized public certificate, name or order number, sign the rental documents, and use a credit card for authorization, and you can take the car and keys. You can also find a store near your hotel to pick up the car, or some stores may offer delivery within a certain range during working hours. You just need to inform them of your specific time and location. Whether there is a charge depends on the company and location, and further details can be consulted. However, I strongly recommend going to the store directly to pick up the car. Within the same vehicle group, you can choose a more suitable car according to your preference. After all, details such as color and newness cannot be confirmed during the booking process.
