1. Simply log into your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® account

2. Set your preferred pick-up/drop-off location, date and time on the ‘Start Reservation’ page, and then click continue.

3. Select the type of trip from the pop-up menu. Is it a business or leisure trip?

4. Make sure that ‘Use my Hertz Gold Rewards points’ is checked at the bottom of the pop-up.

5. Select the car you’d like to rent by choosing Pay Now (when available) or Pay Later.

8. You’ll then be prompted with the various rewards you can redeem, based on your points balance.

• It’s worth keeping in mind that standard awards can be subject to ‘blackout’ dates, on which you won’t be able to redeem points. Our Anytime rewards however can be redeemed on any date that suits you. The number of points required for each will vary accordingly.

• If you don’t see any reward options, it could be that you don’t have enough points for a reward. Take a look at our rewards chart and Anyday Rewards dates for more detail.

•  Once you select which reward to redeem, your new total, less the credit for the reward(s) will be reflected on the checkout page.
