Hertz 2012 Annual Report Download - page 13

Throughout our 95-year history, Hertz has been famous for its cars, ranging
from Hertz-branded vehicles in the 1920s to late-model Shelby Mustangs and
Corvettes built specially for Hertz customers. Today, we rent, lease and man-
age about 700,000 vehicles, including Dollar Thrifty, and we have the most
diverse fleet in the car rental industry. Moreover, Hertz makes a wider range
of vehicles specifically reservable by make and model than our competitors.
Reservability is important to customers who want to drive specific cars to satisfy
their desire for higher levels of safety, sustainability, luxury and/or performance.
As a result, we’ve organized these special vehicles into Collections: Green
Traveler, Adrenaline Collection and Prestige Collection, including exotic
vehicles rarely seen in national rental fleets.
Green Traveler Collection
Hertz has over 3,000 high MPG, low emission vehicles
for customers committed to economy travel and/or
sustainability. These are hybrid, electric and clean
diesel vehicles that offer high fuel efficiency and low
operating costs. We carry a range of vehicles in the
Green Traveler Collection including hybrids, all-electric,
clean diesel and natural gas cars. We’ll be adding
plug-in hybrids to the Collection in 2013.
Adrenaline Collection
Some customers want the exhilaration of driving head-
turning, heart-pumping muscle cars. We have over 1,500
Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers, all built to resemble
and perform like the classic hot rods from the 1960s
and 1970s. In 2013, we’re adding high-performance
European sports cars to the Adrenaline Collection
line, including the Mercedes AMG series, Porsche 911s,
Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Prestige Collection
Sometimes only the best will do. Whether it’s a reunion,
anniversary, special date or just taking time to live the
dream, the right car can make all the difference in the
world. Our Prestige Collection, approximately 8,500 in
the U.S., come in all shapes and sizes to fit those spe-
cial occasions. The Prestige Collection consists of
Mercedes sedans, convertibles and SUVs; Cadillac,
Infiniti and Volvo sedans and convertibles; Escalade
and Navigator SUVs, as well as the Porsche Cayenne
and Panamera. We’ll be adding more luxury-level
makes and models to our fleet in 2013.
