You can now pick up your Hertz rental car in the UK and other countries in Europe at the touch of a button, almost!
The new touch screen self service kiosks are being rolled at selected locations across nine European countries for pre-paid rental customers. Similar to the self service kiosks currently used by airlines for airport check-in.
Hertz say,
"Similar to an airline check-in kiosk, the Self Service Express touch screen kiosk is a reservation-based system that collects the customer’s personal information and identifies the customer’s reservation. It then completes the rental car pick-up process, sending the customer on his or her way quickly. In addition, the solution allows Hertz customers to select and purchase upgrades, optional insurance and waiver products, fuel options and add-ons such as child seats and the Hertz NeverLost® in-car satellite navigation system."
The system will complement the Hertz Online Check-in program, which allows customers to begin the check-in process in the comfort of their home or office before they travel.
The Hertz Pre-paid rates such as, the Affordable Europe program, allow you to pay at the time of booking and lock in your rental costs in U.S. Dollars. Great for leisure travelers who want to know the costs of their trip before the leave home, and avoid unexpected exchange rate changes of currency conversion fees charged by their credit card company. They are often cheaper too.
