How Do I Choose What Communications I Get? If, in the ‘Membership Details’ section of your membership profile, you have directed Hertz not to communicate any marketing offers or materials to you, your participation in the Program will be limited to certain transactions you perform on hertz.com or over the phone with Hertz. These transactions consist of obtaining your Points balance and buying Points. We will be unable to send you balance notifications or any other Program materials. You will only receive non-marketing communications Hertz may send in connection with the Program. If you wish to change that instruction, login to your account on hertz.com and update the “Membership Details” section of “My Profile”. What About Earning Gold Plus Rewards Points? Participants will earn one point for every qualified U.S. dollar, or its equivalent in the currency tendered on each qualifying rental. Qualifying rentals include all car rentals (excluding truck and van rentals) and optional charges such as Hertz NeverLost, SiriusXM, Fuel Purchase, Insurance coverage options, additional driver charges, additional mileage charges, car seats and more except for Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) and Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)/Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), at participating locations in, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas USVI, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Points earned on rentals in participating countries outside the United States will be converted from the currency of the participating country to U.S. dollars based on the rental check-in (return) date to determine point credits. Points will round up to the next U.S. dollar when the rental transaction amount exceeds $00.50 (for example a qualifying rental transaction of $99.51 will earn 100 (one hundred) Gold Plus Rewards Points). Corporations and other entities may not participate. Each individual must participate separately and may have only one account within the Program. Neither participation in the Program, nor Gold Plus Rewards Points are transferable. Participants may not combine, barter or otherwise transfer Points with or to other persons.

Redemption of Gold Plus Rewards Points for rentals in participating countries in Europe (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands) will apply toward pre-paid rentals only for certain compact, intermediate and seven seater car classes, and any additional days beyond those for which points are redeemed, must be paid for in advance in accordance with the rules of the rental. Cars included are manual, but specific car classes will vary by country. Rewards are based on 1 free day, 1 free weekend (1 or 2 days), and one free week. When redeeming for a day weekend reward, it may only be redeemed against a weekend rate and the rental must be kept over a Saturday night. Rates used to calculate Reward redemptions may differ from the on-line rates. Rewards for rentals in the Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, United States, Canada and participating U.S. Territories will apply toward non pre-paid rentals only and any additional days beyond those for which points are redeemed, must be paid in accordance with the rules of the rental. Hertz reserves the right to limit the number of cars available for Gold Plus Rewards Rental usage. Gold Plus Rewards Rentals will be subject to vehicle availability at the time and place of rental. Except for One-Way Rewards where offered, vehicle must be returned to original rental location. AnyDay Rewards may be used during specified AnyDay Rewards travel periods. If the desired date for the commencement of a reward rental falls during an AnyDay Reward period, the whole rental is subject to the utilization of an AnyDay Reward and does not qualify for the use of a Standard Reward. For a list of AnyDay Rewards periods in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, the U.S. and Canada, scroll up to the list above. Rewards apply to contracted time and mileage only. Members are responsible for governmental surcharges, taxes, tax reimbursement, vehicle license fees and airport related fees. Rewards are not combinable. Only one Gold Plus Rewards Rental Reward can be used per rental transaction. So for example, if a member selects a one day, weekend or one week rental for a reward redemption, they may pay for additional days and extend the length of the rental, but they may not redeem for two or more rewards in the same rental reservation (so if they wanted to redeem for four days, they could not redeem four one-day rentals rewards in the same rental reservation). In addition, Gold Plus Rewards Rental Rewards may not be combined with any other discount, promotion, coupon or frequent traveler reward program (i.e., airline frequent flyer, hotel frequency program, Haute Fidélité in France, etc.). All local rental and age requirements apply. Gold Plus Rewards offers are void where prohibited by law. Gold Plus Rewards Points will not be refunded in the event of no shows, early vehicle returns or reservation cancellation requests, unless the rental is cancelled with at least twenty-four hours prior notice to the rental pick up time shown on the reservation. Gold Plus Rewards Points, frequent traveler miles or points and Gold Plus Rewards Rentals are not exchangeable, refundable or redeemable for cash or credit under any circumstance. Tax liabilities arising from the Program are the sole responsibility of the member. Will my points be returned if I cancel my reservation? If a reservation which was booked with points is cancelled within 24 hours of booking, all points will be returned to the members account. If a reservation which was booked using points is cancelled more than 24 hours before the pickup time the following points will be forfeited: If a Gold member, 50% of the points used toward the booking will be forfeited; If a Five Star member, 25% of the points used toward the booking will be forfeited; If a President’s Circle member, all points will be returned to the members account. If the customer does not cancel the reservation prior to the time of pick-up and the rental vehicle is not picked up on the rental date, all the points used toward the rental amount will be forfeited, regardless of the members tier status.
