Summer is approaching fast and a lot of us are hitting the road. To celebrate Hertz being voted “Best Overall Car Rental Company†in Zagat’s 2012/13 U.S. Car Rental Survey, Hertz is giving Points, Miles & Martinis 3,000 Hertz Gold Plus points to give away to our readers. You can win 1,000 Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points which is worth 2 free weekend days (or 1 free weekend day if used as an AnyDay reward (no black-out dates)) plus a Zagat Guidebook to help find the best restaurants, golf courses and other activities when traveling.
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.
