Hertz Rent A Car and HotelPlanner.com Partner for Discounted Group Auto Rentals

Providing Groups, Meeting and Conference Attendees discounted group car and van rental rates

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 3, 2008 - The Hertz Corporation and HotelPlanner.com have partnered to provide discounted car and van rental rates to group and meeting planners using HotelPlanner.com. As the exclusive car rental provider for HotelPlanner.com, Hertz provides site users with notable discounts, quality products and services, and convenient customer options, such as newly revised refueling policies.

John Prince, CIO of HotelPlanner.com says, "This is a great promotion for our clients because 80% of our groups travel by car to their destination. Not only does Hertz allow them to save up to 50% on their car or van rental, but they also have many flexible options to offer such as online check-in, one-way rentals, and discounted refueling." HotelPlanner.com now also offers complimentary rental certificates exclusively for its groups. Groups can receive $250 in Hertz Rental Certificates, redeemable for two years, for every 20 completed rentals.

Hertz allows customers three refueling options. First, for optimal convenience, renters can forget refueling on their own and let Hertz do it for them; Hertz charges a nominal refueling fee along with a rate based on the local area pump prices. Secondly, at time of rental, customers can purchase a full tank of gas at a rate based on the pump price minus $.15 per gallon (in Canada, 5 cents per liter less). Third, travelers can stop and refuel the tank themselves immediately prior to returning the vehicle.

Other Hertz products and services such as NeverLost customized, onboard navigation systems, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Nick on the Go portable entertainment system, and unique cars and SUVs offered through the Hertz's Prestige, Fun and Green Collections, set the Company apart from the competition. Hertz is the world's largest general use car rental brand, operating from approximately 8,100 locations in 147 countries worldwide. Hertz is the number one airport car rental brand in the U.S. and at 69 major airports in Europe, operating both corporate and licensee locations in cities and airports in North America, Europe, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand.
