To kick off the summer season, Hertz is offering travelers special savings to help get their weekends off to a great start with 50 percent off weekend rentals at Hertz Local Edition and airport locations nationwide.

At the airport, the 50% off is valid on all car classes, including Hertz’s popular Fun, Green and Prestige Collections. Just mention Promotion Code (PC#) 104182 at time of reservation. At Hertz Local Edition locations, where Hertz offers pick up and delivery service, this offer is good on Economy through Full-size car classes and Midsize SUVs. Just mention Rate Code (RQ Code) FIFTY.

“As we head into Memorial Day weekend and begin the summer travel season, we are pleased to offer this special savings to Hertz customers,” said Frank Camacho, Hertz Staff Vice President, Marketing. “Available for rentals at Hertz airport and Local Edition locations, customers can rest assured that they will be driving one of the youngest fleets in the industry and will be able to get the products and services they need for their trip, including NeverLost® and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.”

Both the Local Edition and Airport offers apply to three-day Standard and Leisure Weekend Rate rentals starting Friday and ending Monday. Advance reservations are required, and blackout periods may apply. The Hertz Local Edition offer is subject to availability and is redeemable at participating Hertz Local Edition locations in the United States, excluding Hawaii.

The Airport offer is not available in the NY Metro area and Hawaii. Hertz age, driver and credit qualifications for the renting location apply and the car must be returned to the renting location. The 50 percent savings is not valid on NeverLost and SIRIUS satellite radio rentals and does not apply to taxes, fees and other optional services. At the airport, the 50 percent off is valid through June 30, 2007 and at Local Edition, the offer is valid through December 31, 2007.
