Executive Travel : Hertz Returns to Free Mileage
Hertz Corp. said Wednesday that it is removing the mileage limits from all its U.S. rental car rates and car classes, except minivans.
“Very simply, we’re announcing a return to free, unlimited mileage,” said Brian J. Kennedy, executive vice president of marketing and sales for Hertz, a unit of Ford Motor Co.
With minivans, the world’s largest car rental company said it will maintain its mileage-capped rates, with 100 free miles per day and a 25-cents-per-mile charge after that. It said it will give customers the option of unrestricted higher rates.
The Park Ridge-based company said fleet costs, which have soared more than 100% since 1992, forced it to impose the mileage caps in April.
