"Hertz's goal is to provide the lifestyle experience traveler's desire when on the road," commented Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark P. Frissora. "We are consistently listening to our customers and implementing solutions to meet and exceed their needs. In addition to offering the best fleet on the road, we are also planning to expand this new customer experience format to all of our global locations by 2015. Since we unveiled the first redesigned locations, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive."

The facility makeovers take into consideration the common road trip staples, tools and services typically desired by travelers, and offer the following to help enhance the travel experience:

    --  Bus Tracking: Working with its leasing company, Donlen, Hertz is
        piloting new telematics for its busses. With smarter tracking, customers
        will have access to an app that enables them to see how many minutes
        until a Hertz bus will be at the terminal for pick up. The system helps
        bus drivers identify where customers need to be picked up creating a
        more efficient bussing system and decreasing the amount of fuel used.
    --  On-Site Retail: Forget something? Customers can visit the on-site "Road
        Trip by Hertz" retail stations to stock up on food and drinks, and
        purchase essential road trip and travel supplies--everything from maps
        and sunscreen to charging cords and beach bags. The updated facilities
        also carry luggage, clothing and accessories to make their experience a
        one-stop-shop for both families and the business traveler.
    --  On-Site Technology Tools: After a long flight, in addition to recharging
        themselves with a drink or snack, customers can also take a break and
        recharge their electronic equipment. Additionally, they can interact
        independently with an iPad station set up to access the latest travel
        apps, entertain kids with games, and book a Hertz reservation, among
        other things.
    --  On-Site Business Tools: Customers can print on-site and access FedEx
        directly inside the store to send important documents and packages.
    --  Increased Visibility for Rental Options: New vehicle displays showcase
        Hertz's unique and exciting rentals - such as the Hertz Penske GT in the
        U.S. - that have been added to raise visibility of the company's
        expanding fleet options among customers, a further connect with car
        lovers.
    --  Sustainability Leadership - The facility transformations also adhere to
        the company's commitment to global sustainability best practices.
Specific sustainable construction and design highlights include LEED certification at select sites, the use of LED and energy efficient lighting, solar power systems and solar outdoor lighting at select sites, post-consumer recycled content materials and finishes, water saving fixtures and zero-VOC paints. In conjunction with renovation projects, Hertz is rolling out a national single-stream recycling program in addition to current recycling efforts around automotive waste oils and tires. Other Hertz Living Journey sustainability program outcomes include production of 2.5M kWh of solar energy annually and sustainable mobility solutions. More than 75% of the company's fleet averages 28+ MPGs and the  Green Traveller Collection offers a variety of alternate fuel vehicles, including Electric Vehicles, Clean Diesels, Compressed Natural Gas vehicles and hybrids.

There are currently more than 800 locations that have been updated around the globe, with plans to continue transformations of current Hertz locations throughout the year, including Newark and Dulles Airports. For more information, visit http://www.Hertz.com or follow Hertz on Facebook or Twitter.
