Hertz is celebrating being voted “Best Overall Car Rental Company†in Zagat’s 2012/13 U.S. Car Rental Survey. As a result Hertz gave Points, Miles & Martinis 3,000 Hertz Gold Plus points to give away to our readers. That is enough for 2 free weekend days, or 1 free weekend day if used as an AnyDay reward. Plus the grand prize winner will receive a Zagat Guidebook to help find the best restaurants, golf courses and other activities when traveling.

We gave readers a chance to win 1,000 Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points by sharing where they’d like to go on a road trip this summer. The response was tremendous. From Australia to Alaska to the Florida Keys, people would like to drive all over this summer with Hertz, and for free, why not?

Hertz Innovations

Zagat users gave Hertz top honors for their “Travel at the Speed of Hertz†experience with the company’s latest innovations, which include:

• Mobile Gold Alerts / “Carfirmationsâ€: Hertz’s new mobile email/SMS text service – Mobile Gold Alerts – that confirm a Gold customer’s reservation and advises them of their car location.
• Hertz Gold Choice / “Choose Controlâ€: Hertz Gold Choice gives the customer the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose another, something no other car rental brand offers.
