Company mission

To be customer focused, cost efficient, and provide an unforgettable car rental experience for whatever journey you may be on

Our take

Since its establishment in 1918, Hertz has been a prominent player in the fiercely competitive car rental sector, offering rental services to travelers worldwide. Over the years, the company has expanded its offerings to include other well-known brands such as Dollar and Thrifty, broadening its service options and market reach

The car rental market is characterized by intense competition, with several players, including Avis Budget Group and Enterprise Holdings, vying for market share. Hertz faces challenges in this competitive landscape, including changes in consumer preferences and the rise of alternative transportation options, such as ride-sharing services. Additionally, global events and shifts in travel patterns have impacted the industry, necessitating adaptability and innovation

Despite the challenges, Hertz remains committed to delivering quality service and meeting the evolving needs of its customers. The company continues to explore innovative solutions, such as car-sharing programs and digital advancements, to enhance the overall rental experience and stay ahead in the competitive market

As the car rental industry continues to evolve, Hertz's long-standing presence and diversified portfolio position it as a reliable option for travelers seeking convenient transportation solutions. The company's ability to navigate the competitive landscape and adapt to changing dynamics will play a crucial role in its future success
