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.
