"Our fall 'Triple Points' promotion is another way for Hertz to thank our Gold Plus Rewards members for their loyalty," commented Mark P.

There are no restrictions on car size or the length of keep, as long as the rental pick up is during the promotion dates.

Hertz Gold Plus Rewards is a fast, easy, and flexible way for members to earn free rental car days.  Members who elect to earn Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Points earn one point per U.S. dollar or its equivalent spent on qualifying Hertz rentals.  Free weekend rental days are earned for as few as 500 points in the U.S. and Canada, making Hertz Gold Plus Rewards one of the fastest ways to free travel of any travel rewards program.  Points are tracked automatically, don't expire with rental activity, and can easily be redeemed online.  Members have a wide choice of rental lengths and car types including Hertz Collection vehicles like America's favorite muscle cars from the Adrenaline Collection; hybrid vehicles from  the Green Traveler Collections, or even high end luxury vehicles like the Mercedes E Class, the Infinity FX35 or Cadillac SRX from the popular Prestige Collection.

Gold Plus Rewards has AnyDay Rewards with no black-out dates, allowing members to use points at any time.  Members also have the flexibility to use their points when it is convenient for them as Gold Plus Rewards Points do not automatically expire. Each time a member earns points or redeems points, their points renew for an additional 24 months which means they do not have to worry about points expiring.
