Hertz Car Rental app review: find your local Hertz branch and manage your reservations

Introduction

This is the official Hertz app: it enables you to book reservations with your nearest branch as well as managing existing reservations, access exclusive app-only offers, access Hertz Radio stations, and much more. If you are a an avid user of Hertz car rental services, then this a car renting app that you must check out.

Hertz, Don't It?

Upon starting up this app you’ll be presented with the main menu which enables you to make a reservation, manage existing reservations, search for Hertz branches by location, and more.

The best car rental apps for iPad

I would imagine that the majority of people are going to use this app purely for practical purposes, so disregarding the aesthetic qualities, does Hertz Car Rental actually deliver the goods and enable you to effectively manage your bookings?

Searching for branches is very easy because you can search according to country, state, city, and so on, and each branch has its contact details laid out with a handy link for making a booking.

More User Info

Logging in with your club number or user ID is also very easy but the app doesn’t always seem to remember your login so this can be quite frustrating from time to time.

Best iphone and ipad apps

All in all, this app serves its intended purpose. Although it does seem a little lightweight in the way that it is so heavily based on the web page, I think it should be more than sufficient for anyone looking to make a car reservation so it’s well worth keeping Hertz Car Rental on your iPhone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Reserve rental cars from any Hertz branch
• Search for Hertz branches according to country, city, state, and so on
• Manage existing reservations
• Access your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards by logging in to your account

Cons

• App feels less than solid given that it is almost a direct port of the online site

Final Words

As I said, I’m not particularly impressed with the way this app has been designed.

I think the Hertz Radio is a nice touch, and being able to access your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards and exclusive app-only offers definitely make this app worth keeping hold of. I wouldn’t rely on it entirely for managing reservations because its design, quite simply, doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.

The best piece of advice I can give is to just download Hertz Car Rental and take it for a test drive before forming your own opinion because if you only want it to make the occasional booking, it should be more than sufficient.

However, if you are a very frequent user of Hertz and require a more comprehensive and reliable service, I would approach this app with some hesitance and perhaps use it in conjunction with the standard desktop site.
