Hertz and Marriott Car Rental Tips
Ready to book a car rental? Here’s what you need to know.
Get car rental deals through our partnership
Through our partnership with Hertz, Marriott Bonvoy offers special savings and up to 2,000 points when renting a car.
Opt for unlimited mileage
If you don’t have a specific itinerary planned, it’s difficult to predict just how many miles you’ll drive a rental car. Car rentals through our partnership with Hertz provide unlimited mileage, eliminating mileage guesswork and potential added mileage charges.
Return your rental car on time
There is a grace period of 29 minutes. Late fees apply if the vehicle is more than 29 minutes late. Extra-hour charges are incurred starting at the 30-minute mark.
Choose the right rental car for your needs
If you’re looking for fuel economy, a smaller or hybrid rental car – like the Toyota Prius Hybrid – is a good choice. On the other hand, if you need lots of space, go for an SUV like a Chevrolet Suburban or Nissan Pathfinder.
Take advantage of reserve now, pay later options
Reserve your car rental in advance, and you won’t pay until you return the vehicle. Need to cancel? Through our partnership with Hertz, you can take advantage of free cancellations when necessary.
Car Rental FAQs
How old do I need to be to rent a car?
Hertz rents to drivers age 20 and over in most states. In New York and Michigan, the minimum age is 18 years old. A “Young Renter Daily Fee” applies to drivers under the age of 25 in addition to the rental rate, and the amount varies by state and age of renter.
Is it possible to book a one-way car rental?
Hertz one-way car rentals allow you to return your rental car to the nearest Hertz location. In the U.S., pick up and return a rental car at one of 4,000 locations. Plus, most rentals come with free, unlimited mileage.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Hertz accepts all major credit cards, including American Express, MasterCard, Carte Blanche, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, JCB, China Union Pay, and some debit cards. Check with your Hertz location for specifics if you plan to use a debit card to qualify for a rental. Cash is also accepted at corporate Hertz locations in the U.S. as long as you present a Hertz Cash Deposit Card ID Card or an acceptable credit card. In these cases, you can use a credit card or an acceptable debit card to qualify for the rental at the outset, and then pay cash at the conclusion of your rental.
Can I add an additional driver to my rental?
With Hertz, you can add additional drivers to your rental car for an additional fee, provided the additional drivers meet all requirements.
Will I earn rewards for my rentals?
When you book a Hertz rental car through Marriott Bonvoy, you’ll earn 2,000 points for rentals for two or more days at participating Hertz locations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia, and New Zealand. Offer terms apply. Rentals of one day earn 500 points.
What discounts and promotions are available?
