Hertz Launches Rent2Buy in Australia

Hertz Australia has launched Hertz Rent2Buy, an online car sales program offering well maintained, late model vehicles at competitive fixed prices, often lower than RedBook’s suggested retail values for used cars.

Hertz Rent2Buy offers prospective buyers the opportunity to take a three day test drive, which is then provided as a free rental if the car being test-driven is purchased.

All car sales include a 90-day, 5,000-kilometre limited warranty, and full service history.

The test drives are offered at locations in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

Michel Taride, President of Hertz International, said, “Hertz's Rent2Buy program offers a smarter, hassle-free used car buying program with low, no-haggle pricing and a three day ‘try before you buy’ option. Hertz Rent2Buy has proven to be highly popular with savvy used car buyers; since launching in the US, we've sold many thousands of cars online. We are pleased to bring this exciting program to customers in Australia so that they can also benefit from well-maintained used cars at extremely competitive prices and with a full service history.”

Customers can have full use of their preferred vehicle for up to three days and those who wish to proceed with a purchase then keep the car and pay the listed price, with the test drive included for free. If the customer decides not to buy the car, it is returned to the renting location and the transaction is treated as a standard rental, with rates starting from A$66 per day for up to three days.

Chris Rusden, Region Vice President Managing Director of Hertz Australasia. “Hertz Rent2Buy eliminates the stress and uncertainty of car buying. The cars are hand selected from our large fleet of late model rental vehicles, all of which are removed from the fleet after 12-18 months. Our cars undergo regular maintenance, and are cleaned and checked after every rental. We keep comprehensive maintenance records on our cars unlike many individual owners. In addition, customers have a unique, three day test drive option to determine if the vehicle suits their needs and lifestyle. If you're looking to buy a used car, it's tough to beat the Hertz Rent2Buy program.”
