Market Wire, December, 2009
Connect by Hertz ( www.connectbyhertz.com ),
the only global car sharing club, today announced the expansion of its
service to Berlin, Germany and Madrid, Spain, adding to its list of
international locations which include London, New York City and Paris.
Members can book and drive a Connect by Hertz club car on a
pay-as-you-go basis — an economical, convenient and socially conscious
alternative to car ownership. Members also have the option to use the
service at any Connect by Hertz city. Launches in further cities are
planned for 2010 and beyond.
Robert Stuart, Senior Vice President of Global Sales, The Hertz
Corporation, said: “In a market that is expected to expand to three million
customers across Europe in the next ten years, today’s launch demonstrates
our long-term commitment to growing the global car sharing business
internationally. With aggressive plans for ongoing expansion, Connect by
Hertz reflects Hertz’s ambition to provide unique transportation solutions
across the spectrum of customer needs.”
“Flexible mobility solutions which are both economic and
environmentally-friendly have never been more popular in Europe,” added
Michel Taride, President, Hertz Europe. “With Connect by Hertz, members
simply ‘Click. Book. Drive’ — it’s that simple. The car sharing club is an
easy-to-use, paperless service that works across multiple markets and
integrates the very latest technology to meet the dynamic needs of our
customers. Based on the success of Connect by Hertz Europe in Paris and
London, I’m confident that our Berlin and Madrid operations will be very
well received.”
As the first car sharing
operator to launch into Madrid, Connect by Hertz opens up the world of car
sharing to urban dwellers there, marking a significant milestone for the
city. In Berlin, Connect by Hertz offers a competitive service for new and
existing car club members. The launch into Madrid and Berlin also connects
existing members in London, New York City, and Paris to exciting new
destinations.
Connect by Hertz provides members with 24/7 access to a centrally located
fleet of environmentally friendly vehicles. Members can choose from a wide
range of cars depending on their needs. The signature MINI Cooper with
built-in satellite navigation and iPod connectivity and the unique Fiat 500
are just two of the flagship vehicles which make up the fleet. Once
enrolled with Connect by Hertz, members receive a smart chip enabled
Connect Card, which gives them keyless entry to any car in the fleet that
the member reserves.
The competitive hourly rates for Connect by Hertz include insurance, fuel,
roadside assistance, maintenance and cleaning
