PART I. ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT TERMS

 

1. You have received, read, understand, accept and agree to the terms, conditions, disclosures and notices appearing in this Part I (the "Enrollment Agreement Terms"), which pertain to membership in Hertz Gold Plus Rewards (the "Program") and Program rentals wherever Program service is available; as of October 31th, 2021. Program service is available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, much of Europe, Israel, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Your Enrollment Form, together with these

Agreement Terms, constitutes Your agreement with respect to Your enrollment in the Program and is referred to as Your "Enrollment Agreement". You have also received, read, understand, accept and agree to the terms and conditions appearing below under the heading Part II, including "Part II. General Provisions Applicable To All Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Rentals" (the "General Provisions"), "Part II. B. Terms And Conditions Applicable To Rentals In North America" (the "North American Terms"), "Part II. C. Terms And Conditions Applicable To Rentals In Europe, Middle East And Africa (EMEA)" (the "EMEA Terms"), "Part II. D. Terms And Conditions Applicable To Rentals In Australia", "Part II. E. Terms And Conditions Applicable To Rentals In New Zealand" and "Part II. F. Company/Travel Agent Accounts Supplementary Terms And Conditions" (all the terms and conditions appearing under all those headings collectively, the "Rental Terms"). If at any time You wish to change any of the selections on Your Enrollment Form, You may do so in the manner described in section 2, below. For information regarding reward points and redemption requirements, please click here. Hertz reserves the right to update the reward points and redemption requirements at any time for any reason without prior notice.


2. When You make a Manifestation of Assent, You are making an offer to enter into a contract with the Hertz company identified on Your Enrollment Form (the "Enrolling Company"). The Enrolling Company reserves the right not to accept Your offer without being required to provide any explanation. If Your offer is accepted, You will be given notice that Your application has been accepted by the Enrolling Company. You may from time to time modify Your Enrollment Agreement to update the information or change the selections that You provided in Your Enrollment Form either by written notice to the Enrolling Company or through Hertz’ Internet website, www.hertz.com. Your Enrollment Agreement, as modified to reflect any updates or changes that You may make, is referred to as Your "Enrollment" for the countries covered thereby. If the offer to enter into a contract that You make with Your Manifestation of Assent is accepted by the Enrolling Company, then the resulting Enrollment Agreement will supersede any prior enrollment agreement submitted by You which was accepted by Hertz prior to acceptance of this Enrollment Agreement with respect to those countries. The supply of the information requested on the Enrollment Form is voluntary. However, the Enrolling Company reserves the right to reject Your offer to enter into a contract with the Enrolling Company if You do not supply all of the information requested or for any other reason. See the General Provisions for information regarding the use of Your personal data.

3. When You rent a private passenger motor vehicle (excluding trucks and vans), including all such vehicles' parts (a "Car"), using the Program, the Hertz company or licensee providing the Car is called the "Renting Company". Your Enrollment, together with the terms and conditions of the Rental Terms which are applicable to rentals in the country in which the rental commences (as modified by the Enrolling Company from time to time in the manner prescribed therein), the Rental Record or Rental Agreement which You receive at the commencement of the rental, and any other documents which You are required to sign at the commencement of the rental, will constitute the agreement between You and the Renting Company governing the rental. The identity of the Renting Company for each rental will appear on the Rental Record/Agreement for that rental. The Enrolling Company and the Renting Company are referred to collectively as "Hertz", "we" or "us".

4. The availability of Program service at specific locations may change. Reservations made not less than two (2) hours in advance of proposed rental commencement are required for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards rentals.

5. You represent that the information which You have provided in Your Enrollment is true, correct and complete. Your selections in the Enrollment of Optional Services (where available) and car class (subject to vehicle availability at the time You make the reservation) will apply to all rentals which You make using the Program; provided, that for a specific rental You may change Your selections of Optional Services at the commencement of the rental and You may select a different car class when You make Your reservation. Notice: For rentals at some locations, certain optional services may not be available on the basis of an advance request in Your Enrollment to obtain them. In such circumstances, the Rental Record/Agreement will indicate that You have declined to obtain such optional services, even though Your Enrollment specifies that you wish to obtain them. You may be able to purchase such services at the commencement of the rental even when they are not available in advance.

6. You authorize Hertz to process all charges in any way incurred by You in connection with a Gold Plus Rewards rental against the first credit, charge or debit card listed in Your Enrollment (as such list may be modified from time to time in the manner described in section 2, above) which has available credit or funds, as the case may be, and which is accepted to qualify for rental at the rental location.

7. You promise to notify the Enrolling Company at once if Your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Card, Hertz Credit Card or any of the credit cards listed in Your Enrollment are lost, stolen or invalidated, or if You suspect that any of them are being used without Your permission. Because of the nature of the Program, You understand the urgency of this obligation.

8. At any time during the year You may notify the Enrolling Company in writing of Your desire to cancel Your Gold Plus Rewards membership. Hertz reserves the right to cancel or suspend Your membership for any reason at any time, without notice.

9. Hertz may, at its discretion and based on any set criteria or no criteria at all, upgrade You to Platinum membership status. By either not requesting Your removal from the Platinum program within 30 days after receiving notice of such upgrade, or using Your Platinum member number to complete a reservation or rental, You will consent to the Platinum Terms found here. The Gold Terms will still be in effect as to any Gold rentals and your membership in the Gold Plus Rewards Program. If You have been upgraded to Platinum from Gold, any preferences you selected during your enrollment to region or country specific preferences will carry over. Not having selected preferences or enrolled for a given country or region will mean that You are now enrolled for Platinum, but have no preferences selected for that region or country. Hertz may downgrade You from Platinum to Gold membership status at its discretion and based on any set criteria or no criteria at all. There may be limited time periods set for which you will be given Platinum membership. Upon downgrade to Gold membership, the Gold Terms in effect at that time will apply to your membership and rentals using your Gold member number.

10. For U.S. Residents:
ARBITRATION PROVISION
THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES ARBITRATION OR A SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. Except for claims for property damage, personal injury or death, ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US (“US” AND “WE” FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION MEANS THE HERTZ CORPORATION, (“HERTZ”), ITS PARENT AND AFFILIATE CORPORATIONS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEES AND ANY VENDOR OR THIRD PARTY PROVIDING SERVICES FOR THE RENTAL TRANSACTION) MUST BE RESOLVED ONLY BY ARBITRATION OR IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER. You and we remain free to bring any issues to the attention of government agencies. This arbitration Provision's scope is broad and includes, without limitation, any claims relating to any aspect of the relationship or communications between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, equity, or any other legal theory. It is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. In any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including his or her own jurisdiction, and any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of this Arbitration Provision. The arbitration will take place in the county of Your billing address unless agreed otherwise. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will administer any arbitration pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "Rules"). You can obtain the Rules at www.adr.org. You or we may commence an arbitration by providing a written demand for arbitration to the other (to us, The Hertz Corporation, 8501 Williams Road, Estero, FL 33928, Attn: Arbitration) and two copies of the demand to the AAA. If You seek $10,000 or less through arbitration, we will reimburse You for any AAA required filing fee. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief as well as money, but only in favor of and as warranted by the claim of the individual party seeking relief. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to the specific parties in that case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class action. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EMAILING US AT no.arbitration@Hertz.com OR BY MAIL TO The Hertz Corporation, 8501 Williams Road, Estero, FL 33928, Attn: Legal Department. Include Your name, address, reservation ID number or Rental Agreement number (if provided), and a clear statement that You do not agree to this Arbitration Provision. If you have previously notified Hertz of Your decision to opt out of arbitration, You do not need to do so again.


11. For U.S. Residents: If the Arbitration Provision in Section 10 above is deemed not to apply by a court of competent jurisdiction, the following will apply: With regard to Your Enrollment or membership in the Program (as opposed to any Program rental entered into by You), You irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the laws of the State of Florida. You further agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Lee County, Florida, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. If any provision of Your Enrollment or the agreement governing any Program rental conflicts with any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed to be modified as to that jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere) to be consistent with such law or regulation, or to be deleted if modification is impossible, and shall not affect the remainder of Your Enrollment or such agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of Your Enrollment or such agreement is held to be so broad as to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is necessary for it to be enforceable as to such jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere).

12. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED REGARDING YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY CAR WHICH YOU RENT IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA USING GOLD. MORE DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARS IN PARAGRAPH 4 OF THE NORTH AMERICAN TERMS. EXCEPT AS STATED IN PARAGRAPH 4 OF THE NORTH AMERICAN TERMS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE REGARDLESS OF FAULT. FOR RENTALS IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, HERTZ OFFERS, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, A LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER (LDW). IF YOU ACCEPT LDW, WHICH IS NOT INSURANCE, HERTZ WILL NOT HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS WHICH ARE DISCUSSED IN PARAGRAPHS 4(d), 4(e) and 5 OF THE NORTH AMERICAN TERMS. IN THOSE STATES WHERE THE SALE OF LDW IS REGULATED, THAT LAW WILL GOVERN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR. LDW ENTAILS AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. AS OF JUNE 1, 2019, THE CHARGE FOR LDW AT MOST LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES RANGES FROM US $9.00 TO US$99.99 FOR EACH FULL OR PARTIAL RENTAL DAY DEPENDING ON THE CAR CLASS AND MSRP OF THE CAR RENTED. HOWEVER, A SPECIAL HIGHER LDW CHARGE FOR EACH FULL OR PARTIAL RENTAL DAY IS APPLICABLE FOR CERTAIN LUXURY CARS. IN CANADA, THE CHARGE FOR LDW RANGES FROM CAN$8.00 TO CAN$38.99 FOR EACH FULL OR PARTIAL RENTAL DAY DEPENDING ON THE CAR CLASS RENTED AND WHETHER A DEDUCTIBLE APPLIES. A SPECIAL HIGHER LDW CHARGE FOR EACH FULL OR PARTIAL RENTAL DAY IS APPLICABLE FOR CERTAIN LUXURY CARS. ALL CHARGES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. YOUR INSURANCE (OR THAT OF THE AUTHORIZED OPERATOR) MAY COVER ALL OR PART OF YOUR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (OR THAT OF THE AUTHORIZED OPERATOR) FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR.

13. NOTICE: THIS CONTRACT OFFERS, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, A LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER TO COVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL VEHICLE. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TO SIGN THIS WAIVER IF YOU HAVE RENTAL VEHICLE COLLISION COVERAGE PROVIDED BY YOUR CREDIT CARD OR COLLISION INSURANCE ON YOUR OWN VEHICLE. BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER, YOU MAY WISH TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR OWN VEHICLE INSURANCE AFFORDS YOU COVERAGE FOR DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL VEHICLE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE UNDER YOUR OWN INSURANCE COVERAGE. YOU ARE ALSO ADVISED TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH COVERAGE IS PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT REGARDING THE CREDIT CARD WHICH IS USED TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL OR FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE AND, IF SO, THE TERMS AND SCOPE OF SUCH COVERAGE. THE PURCHASE OF THIS LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER PRODUCT IS NOT MANDATORY AND MAY BE DECLINED.

14. THE INSURANCE COVERAGES OFFERED BY HERTZ MAY PROVIDE A DUPLICATION OF COVERAGE ALREADY PROVIDED BY A RENTER'S PERSONAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE POLICY OR BY ANOTHER SOURCE OF COVERAGE. THE PURCHASE OF THESE KINDS OF COVERAGE IS NOT REQUIRED IN ORDER TO RENT A VEHICLE.

15. FOR RENTALS COMMENCING IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. WARNING: FAILURE TO RETURN THE CAR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENT MAY RESULT IN A CRIMINAL PENALTY OF UP TO 3 YEARS IN JAIL.

16. Unless waived, a renter in Miami­Dade County must be furnished a county­approved visitor information map. These maps are available at all Hertz locations in Dade County. Each renter must either acknowledge receipt of such a map or waive his or her right to receive such a map. By making a Manifestation of Assent, You hereby waive Your right to receive such a map.

17. NOTICE: IF YOU HAVE COLLISION COVERAGE UNDER YOUR OWN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE POLICY WRITTEN IN LOUISIANA, YOUR COLLISION COVERAGE AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDS TO RENTAL MOTOR VEHICLES PURSUANT TO R.S. 22: 1296. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A LOUISIANA INSURED, THE PURCHASE OF LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER IS NOT MANDATORY AND MAY BE WAIVED. THIS CONTRACT OFFERS, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, A LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER TO COVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER, YOU MAY WISH TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR OWN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE AFFORDS YOU COVERAGE FOR DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL VEHICLE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE UNDER SUCH COVERAGE.

18. Under Minnesota law, a personal automobile insurance policy must: (1) cover the rental of the motor vehicle against damage to the vehicle and against loss of use of the vehicle; and (2) extend the policy’s basic economic loss benefits, residual liability insurance, and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages to the operation or use of a rented motor vehicle. Therefore, purchase of any collision damage waiver or similar insurance affected on this Enrollment Agreement is not necessary. In addition, purchase of any additional liability insurance is not necessary if your policy was issued in Minnesota unless you wish to have coverage for liability that exceeds the amount specified in your personal automobile insurance policy.

19. NOTICE TO TEXAS RESIDENTS REGARDING DAMAGE WAIVERS
YOUR RENTAL AGREEMENT OFFERS, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, AN OPTIONAL WAIVER TO COVER ALLOR PART OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE WAIVER, YOU MAY WISH TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR OWN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE OR CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT PROVIDES YOU COVERAGE FOR RENTAL VEHICLE DAMAGE OR LOSS AND DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE UNDER YOUR OWN INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE PURCHASE OF THE WAIVER IS NOT MANDATORY. THE WAIVER IS NOT INSURANCE.

FOR RENTALS IN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA (EMEA), Hertz offers a number of optional services for an additional daily charge. If taken, Theft Protection (TP) will limit Your responsibility for loss of or damage to the Car, its parts or accessories, which is caused by theft, attempted theft or vandalism, to the non­waivable excess stated on the Rental Record. If taken, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) will limit Your responsibility for loss of or damage to the Car, its parts or accessories, other than caused by theft, attempted theft or vandalism, for each such incidence of loss or damage arising from a separate event, to the non­waivable excess stated on the Rental Record. As an alternative to CDW and TP, if You take Super Cover (SC), which is not available in some countries or for rentals attached to certain CDP numbers, You will receive the benefit of both CDW and TP and Your liability for the excess in relation to both CDW and TP will be eliminated. If You choose SC and it is not available for Your rental, You will receive Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW), where available, and TP. If SCDW is also not available, You will receive CDW and TP. If You are given SCDW, You will receive the benefit of CDW and Your liability for the excess in relation to CDW will be eliminated (although You will remain liable for the excess in relation to TP). THE BENEFITS OF TP, CDW, SCDW AND SC MAY BE VOIDED WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR RENTAL IF YOU USE THE CAR AS PROHIBITED UNDER PARAGRAPHS 2 AND 5 OF THE EMEA TERMS OR IF THE DAMAGE OR THEFT IS CAUSED INTENTIONALLY OR BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF YOU OR AN AUTHORISED DRIVER. Before deciding whether to purchase TP and/or CDW or SC, You should determine whether You have other insurance that affords You coverage for loss of or damage to the Car and, if so, what the terms of such coverage are (including any limitations and excesses). Personal Insurance/Personal Accident Insurance (PI/PAI) is available at an additional daily charge and provides certain benefits for You and Your passengers for accidental death. Depending upon the country in which the rental commences, PI/PAI may also provide benefits for permanent disability, certain injuries, medical and emergency expenses and/or damage to or theft of personal possessions (including baggage) during the rental.

20. For rentals in Australia,
Hertz will subject to certain exceptions under the Rental Agreement associated with Prohibited Uses, Prohibited People and Full Responsibility Uses, be responsible for any loss of or damage to the Car, except for the first AUS$3,300 (including GST) Accident Damages Excess (ADE) or such other amount specified on the Rental Agreement. Additional excesses of AUS$2,200 (including GST) may apply for damages resulting from a Single Vehicle Accident and damages resulting from Water Damage (other than by total or partial immersion) or other such amount as specified on the Rental Agreement in addition to the ADE as is specified in the Additional Terms. Optional Maximum Cover (MAX) is offered for AUS$34.90 (including GST) per full or partial rental day or other such amount specified on the Rental Agreement. With MAX, other than damages resulting from a Single Vehicle Accident, Water Damage (other than by total or partial immersion), or by a Car not driven by an Authorised Driver, you have no liability to Hertz for damages which occur during the rental period or which result from Your rental or use of the Car (including tyre and/or windscreen damage). Optional Accident Excess Reduction (AER) is offered for AUS$25.90 (including GST) or such other amount specified on the Rental Agreement per full or partial rental day to reduce the standard ADE. With AER, other than damages resulting from a Single Vehicle Accident, Water Damage (other than by total or partial immersion), or by a Car not driven by an Authorised Driver, your liability to Hertz for damages which occur during the rental period or which result from Your rental or use of the Car (including tyre and/or windscreen damage) is limited to the amount of the ADE as noted on the Rental Agreement. The additional Single Vehicle Accident and Water Damage Excess, or Your responsibility for damages resulting from a Car not driven by an Authorised Driver, cannot be reduced through the purchase of MAX or AER. Other Renter Protection Options may be available at participating locations. For rentals in New Zealand, you are liable for the first NZ$ 2,812.50 (including GST) for vehicle groups B to F, and NZ$ 3,375.00 (including GST) for vehicle groups H to M or any other amounts as shown on the rental agreement for any loss or damage to the rental vehicle referred to in the insurance cover specified in Clause 10 of the Terms & Conditions applicable to Gold Plus Rewards rentals in New Zealand. This does not apply to damage or loss resulting from fire or from theft or conversion or attempted theft or conversion of the vehicle. This liability may be reduced to NZ$0 by payment of the optional Accident Excess Reduction (AER) of NZ$ 24.75 (including GST) per day for vehicle groups B to F and NZ$ 28.12 (including GST) per day for vehicle groups H to M. Hertz New Zealand offers an optional Renter Protection Package (PKG) which combines AER with benefits of Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and Personal Effects Cover (PEC). PKG is offered for NZ$33.75 (including GST) per day for vehicle groups B to F and NZ$ 37.12 (including GST) per day for vehicle groups H to M. All rates, excesses and reduction amounts are stated as of June 1, 2019, are subject to change without notice and may vary with rate and vehicle options. All prices are subject to Airport Concession Fee Recovery and or Admin Fee at participating locations.

21. The following applies to residents of Australia: You consent to Hertz obtaining reports from one or more credit reporting agencies for the purpose(s) of assessing Your application for membership in the Program, assessing your applications to rent Cars from Hertz and managing Your rentals of Cars. You also consent to Hertz giving information about You to credit reporting agencies for the purposes of obtaining consumer credit reports about You and to allow the credit reporting agencies to create or maintain credit information files containing information about You. The information can include Your identity particulars, the fact that you have applied for or obtained membership in the Program, or that you have applied to rent or have rented Cars from Hertz, details of any payment which You must make to Hertz which is more than 60 days overdue and for which debt collection action has started, information that in Hertz’ opinion you have committed a serious credit infringement, and information about dishonoured cheques drawn by you for AUS$100.00 or more which have been dishonoured more than once. You also authorize Hertz to exchange information about You with credit providers named in a consumer credit report issued by a credit reporting agency or named in Your application for membership in the Program or Your application to rent a Car for the purposes of assessing Your application for membership in the Program, assessing applications by You to rent Cars, managing Your rental of Cars, notifying other credit providers of a default, exchanging information with other credit providers as to the status of any vehicle rentals you have with Hertz in situations where you are in default with other credit providers, and to assess Your credit worthiness. This can include any information about Your creditworthiness, credit standing, credit history or credit capacity which credit providers are allowed to exchange under the Privacy Act.

PART II. GOLD PLUS REWARDS RENTAL TERMS

PART II. A. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL HERTZ GOLD PLUS REWARDS RENTALS

 

AGREEMENT; PARTIES TO AGREEMENT
The terms and conditions appearing in this Part II. A. apply to all rentals using the Program by You.

For a rental to be a rental using the Program, You must be enrolled to use the Program in the country in which the rental is to commence. You must make a reservation for the rental in which You give Your Program membership number, and the rental must commence at a location at which Program service is available. Substitutions and exchanges of Cars rented using the Program, and extensions authorized by Hertz of Program rentals beyond the due date for return of the Car, will also be Program rentals. Trucks and vans are not available for rental using the Program.

Rentals which do not use the Program will be governed by the Terms and Conditions for rentals at the facility at which the rental originates, which will be given to You at the commencement of the rental, and not by these Rental Terms.
However, if the Terms and Conditions for rentals at the facility at which a non­Program rental commences are less permissive with respect to which persons may operate the Car than are the corresponding provisions of these Rental Terms for Program Rentals commencing in the country in which that facility is located, then renters enrolled to use the Program in that country will receive the benefit of the more permissive terms even when making a non­Program rental of a Car. For rentals in the United States and Canada by renters enrolled to use the Program in those countries, this means that the renter's spouse or domestic partner may operate the Car without registering as an Additional Authorized Operator or paying a fee, provided he or she is at least 25 years old and has a valid driver's license from a jurisdiction acceptable to Hertz.

When You rent a private passenger motor vehicle, including all such vehicle's parts (a "Car"), using the Program (a "Program rental"), the Hertz company or licensee providing the Car is called the "Renting Company." At the time of such a rental, You will receive a written document (called a "Rental Record" or "Rental Agreement") which contains specific terms of that rental and identifies the Renting Company; the Rental Record/Agreement may also contain other information pertaining to Car rentals in the jurisdiction in which the rental commences. The agreement governing such a rental (this "Agreement") will consist of (i) these Gold Terms, as modified by Hertz in the manner described in "Waiver Or Change Of Terms," below, (ii) the applicable Rental Record/Agreement; and (iii) any other documents which You are required to sign when You rent the Car. This Agreement is an agreement between You, on the one hand, and the Renting Company, on the other. The words "Hertz," "we" and "us" mean the Enrolling Company and the Renting Company.

If You rent a Car using the Program and Your Enrollment contains a counter discount program ("CDP") number and/or You request that an "ask for" rate plan apply to Your rental (also known as specifying an "RQ Code"), then the terms of the CDP program and the "ask for" rate plan may be inconsistent with each other or with other information contained in Your Enrollment. (For example, the "ask for" rate plan You specify may be an inclusive rate plan under which You will receive a damage waiver, while Your Enrollment or the terms of Your CDP may reflect that You decline a damage waiver.) In such an event, You authorize Hertz to resolve the inconsistency in any manner that it in good faith determines, provided that the Rental Record/Agreement that You receive at the commencement of the rental reflects the resolution of the inconsistency that Hertz has determined to effect. If You decide to change the optional services reflected on the Rental Record/Agreement, You may do so by advising a Hertz representative of Your decision at the commencement of the rental and having the representative revise the Rental Record/Agreement to reflect Your elections.

ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION
You may not assign Your rights or responsibilities as a member of the Program or Your rights or responsibilities under any agreement governing any Program rental. The Enrolling Company reserves the right to perform its obligations under Your Enrollment and any rentals using the Program through affiliated companies and licensees in the countries where the rentals commence, and You hereby acknowledge the right of such affiliated companies or licensees to subrogate to any or all of the rights of the Enrolling Company in relation to such rentals.

WAIVER OR CHANGE OF TERMS
No term contained in any agreement governing any Program rental may be waived or changed, except in writing signed by an expressly authorized representative of Hertz. Except as provided in these Rental Terms, rental representatives are not authorized to waive or change any term of any agreement governing any Program rental. The terms and conditions of these Rental Terms or Your Enrollment may be revised or supplemented from time to time by Hertz sending You notice of such changes. It will be presumed that You have received any such notice mailed to Your address specified in Your Enrollment or otherwise provided by You to Hertz. If applicable law allows such notices to be effective if sent using electronic records (for example, by e-mail), it will also be presumed that You have received any such notice transmitted/sent to the address for electronic records (for example, the e-mail address) specified in Your Enrollment or otherwise provided by You to Hertz. Your making a Program rental after the effective date of such changes will constitute Your acceptance of such changes. These Rental Terms may also be changed by Hertz from time to time, without notice to You, if the change is made (i) to cure any ambiguity in the terms and conditions, to correct or supplement any provision of the terms and conditions that is inconsistent with any other provision or to add any provision with respect to matters or questions arising under the terms and conditions that is consistent with them, in each case provided that the change does not adversely affect You, or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add any provision to the extent necessary to make these Rental Terms comply with, and be enforceable under, applicable law. The terms and conditions of these Rental Terms, as they may from time to time be changed by Hertz, will be available on request made to The Hertz Corporation, P.O. Box 50216, Dallas, Texas 75250-0216, U.S.A.; or to Hertz Europe Financial Centre, Swords Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Republic of Ireland; or to Hertz Australia Pty Ltd., PO Box 6848, St Kilda Road Central, VIC 8008, Australia; or to Hertz New Zealand Ltd, Private Bag 4716, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand; and at our Internet website, http://www.hertz.com. Information regarding changes to the Rental Terms, as well as changes to California law governing rental agreements, since the effective date of the most recent restatement of the Rental Terms, will also be available on written request to any of the addresses listed in the preceding sentence. This information may also be viewed at http://www.hertz.com. You may view the Rental Terms, together with the aforementioned changes, on www.hertz.com by simply (a) logging in as a member, then (b) clicking on "MY ACCOUNT" and then (c) clicking on "Terms and Conditions."
You may from time to time, by written notice to Your Enrolling Company or through our Internet website, change the selections in Your Enrollment with respect to vehicle class, optional services and/or credit card information.

APPLICABLE LAW
If the Arbitration Provision of the Gold Terms or the Rental Agreement is deemed not to apply by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the proper jurisdiction as defined below does not enforce Arbitration, the following paragraphs under “Applicable Law” will apply.

With regard to any Program rental entered into by You, the substantive law of the jurisdiction(s) in which the rental commences will apply, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof, and You irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction. With regard to Your Enrollment or membership in the Program (as opposed to any Program rental entered into by You), the law of the jurisdiction(s) in which the Enrolling Company has its principal executive office will apply, and You irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction.

If any provision of Your Enrollment or the agreement governing any Program rental conflicts with any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed to be modified as to that jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere) to be consistent with such law or regulation, or to be deleted if modification is impossible, and shall not affect the remainder of Your Enrollment or such agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of Your Enrollment or such agreement is held to be so broad as to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is necessary for it to be enforceable as to such jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere).

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IT IS IMPROPER FOR YOU TO FILE A LAWSUIT CONCERNING YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE PROGRAM OR ANY PROGRAM RENTAL AGAINST ANY ENTITY OTHER THAN THE ENROLLING COMPANY OR, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR PROGRAM RENTAL, THE APPLICABLE RENTING COMPANY, UNLESS ANOTHER COMPANY PROVIDES OR FACILITATES SUCH RENTAL.

1. NATURE OF THIS AGREEMENT
You are obtaining solely a bailment that allows You to use the Car as permitted by this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Car is owned by Hertz. No one other than Hertz may transfer the Car or any rights or obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted transfer or sublease of the Car by anyone other than Hertz is void. Neither You nor any Authorized Operators are agents of Hertz. No one may service or repair the Car without Hertz’ prior express approval. HERTZ MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR THAT THE CAR IS FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

2. WHO MAY OPERATE THE CAR
Only You and, with Your permission, the following persons, provided that they meet the qualifications set forth in the following sentence (“Authorized Operators”), may operate the Car: A spouse or domestic partner who signs an Additional Authorized Operated form at the time of rental. Except as provided in the following sentence, all Authorized Operators must be at least 20 years old and have a valid driver’s license from a jurisdiction acceptable to Hertz. Charges for Authorized Operators under 25 may apply. For rentals which commence in Michigan and New York, persons between the ages of 18 and 24 who meet Hertz’ other qualifications and who sign an Additional Authorized Operator form at the time of rental may be Authorized Operators; in such cases, an Underage Differential Charge will be assessed. Except to the extent necessary for valet parking or in an emergency as permitted by law, no other persons are permitted to operate the Car; for purposes hereof, an “emergency” shall mean urgent circumstances under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the alleged emergency occurred. With respect to persons who must sign an Additional Authorized Operator form, other qualifications may, at Hertz’ discretion, be in effect at the time and place of rental; and, where permitted by law, Hertz may impose an additional fee for such persons.

You and any person, corporation or other entity to whom, with Hertz’ consent, You expressly direct the charges in any way incurred under this Agreement (“Charges”) to be billed, are jointly and severally responsible for payment of all charges. If You direct Charges to be billed to any person, corporation or other entity, You represent that You are authorized to do so. Charges not paid on time as required by this Agreement may be subject to a late payment fee. You may also be charged a fee for any check (or cheque) used for payment of Charges that is returned to Hertz unpaid or for any credit, charge, debit or stored value/prepaid/gift card charges which are not honored by the card issuer.

Payment for all Charges is due at the completion of the rental in cash or by a credit card, charge card, debit card or other device acceptable to Hertz; however, special rules may apply for rentals which are paid for with prepaid vouchers or coupons—see below. You may be required to present a credit, charge or debit/check card at the commencement of rental and agree to permit Hertz to bill Charges to that car. By providing a form of payment, You authorize Hertz to perform a check on Your credit and /or other data sources that identify risk associated with a rental of the Car by You. Hertz may decline to rent based on this information. Stored value/prepaid/gift cards are not, and debit cards may not be, acceptable to qualify for rental, but both types of cards may be used for payment at return. Charges not known to Hertz at the completion of the rental are payable by You, or by the person, corporation or other entity to whom such Charges are to be billed, immediately upon receipt of an invoice therefore or by billing to the first credit, charge or debit card specified in Your Enrollment which had available credit or funds at the time of rental (or against the first credit, charge or debit card specified in Your Enrollment which has sufficient available credit or funds to cover all charges at the time of billing), even if cash, another credit, charge or debit card or stored value/prepaid/gift card was used to pay for charges at the completion of the rental. The payment of Charges by use of a credit, charge, debit or stored value/prepaid/gift card is governed by the terms of Your agreement with the card issuer.  You authorize Hertz to process all charges against the first credit, charge or debit card listed on Your Enrollment which has been authorized in accordance with local requirements, has available credit or funds and which is accepted at the rental location (“Authorized Payment Method”). You authorize Hertz to take any Charges owed by you from the Authorized Payment Method without your additional authorization. You acknowledge and agree that each Renting Company is authorized under this Section 6 to take payment for Charges incurred in accordance with this Agreement for any rental provided by the Rental Company. This authorization shall remain in place until the earlier of the expiry of your card or the end of your Enrollment. Hertz reserves the right to require you to provide further authorization to Hertz to charge the Authorized Payment Method set out in this Agreement.  YOU AUTHORIZE HERTZ TO (1) AT THE TIME OF RENTAL, RESERVE CREDIT WITH, OR OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION FROM, THE ISSUER OF THE FIRST CREDIT, CHARGE OR DEBIT CARD SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT WHICH HAS AVAILABLE CREDIT OR FUNDS, IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT THAT IS GREATER THAN THE ESTIMATED CHARGES, EXCLUSIVE OF ANY APPLICABLE DISCOUNTS OR PROMOTIONS THAT ARE APPLIED AT THE TIME OF RETURN AND (2) PROCESS ONE OR MORE VOUCHERS OR PAYMENT SLIPS AGAINST THAT CARD (OR AGAINST THE FIRST CARD SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT WHICH HAS SUFFICIENT AVAILABLE CREDIT OR FUNDS TO COVER ALL CHARGES AT THE TIME OF BILLING) FOR ALL ACTUAL CHARGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CHARGES FOR DAMAGE TO THE CAR, WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW) AT OR FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE RENTAL. IF A DEBIT CARD IS SPECIFIED IN YOUR ENROLLMENT OR IS USED TO QUALIFY FOR A RENTAL, HERTZ WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR OVERDRAFT CHARGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER LOSSES OR LIABILITIES WHICH YOU MAY INCUR, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU OVERDRAW YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER HERTZ RECEIVES AN AUTHORIZATION AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE RENTAL, IF THE AUTHORIZATION EXCEEDS THE ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE RENTAL. THERE MAY BE A DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THAT THE CHARGES ARE RECEIVED BY YOUR CARD ISSUER AND THE TIME THAT THE CARD ISSUER RELEASES THE EXCESS. Hertz may audit all Charges. If any errors are found, You will pay the corrected Charges. If payment was by credit, charge or debit card, You authorize Hertz to correct the Charges with the card issuer. Hertz will notify You of any correction.

ADDITIONALLY, YOU AUTHORIZE HERTZ TO TAKE ANY CHARGES OWED BY YOU FROM THE AUTHORIZED PAYMENT METHOD WITHOUT YOUR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH RENTING COMPANY IS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS SECTION 6 TO TAKE PAYMENT FOR CHARGES INCURRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY RENTAL PROVIDED BY THE RENTAL COMPANY.

Hertz may from time to time issue prepaid vouchers, coupons or credits represented either by documents or by entries in Hertz’ records (“Vouchers”) which may be used to pay rental charges subject to the terms and conditions of the Vouchers. You must advise Hertz when You make the reservation of Your intended use of a Voucher. Vouchers are to be submitted at the time that the Car is returned to Hertz. Charges not covered by the Voucher, including Charges for optional services which You have selected in Your Enrollment, will be processed against the first credit, charge or debit card listed in Your Enrollment which has available credit or funds. Hertz shall have no duty to issue Vouchers Restrictions on the use of Vouchers may apply.

7. COMPUTATION OF CHARGES
a. TIME CHARGES are computed at the rates specified on the Rental Record for days, weeks, months, extra hours and extra days (including days in excess of any longer specified time period). THE MINIMUM RENTAL CHARGE IS FOR ONE RENTAL DAY. RENTAL DAYS CONSIST OF CONSECUTIVE 24­HOUR PERIODS STARTING AT THE TIME THE RENTAL BEGINS, OR ANY PORTION OF A CALENDAR DAY, AS NOTED ON THE RENTAL RECORD. The extra hours rate shown on the Rental Record is charged for each full or partial hour in excess of a rental day until such extra hours’ charges equal the daily rate specified on the Rental Record for an extra day. RENTAL RATE IS SUBJECT TO INCREASE IF YOU RETURN THE CAR MORE THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE OR 24 HOURS AFTER THE SCHEDULED RETURN TIME. LATE RETURNS BEYOND 29 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD SUBJECT TO EXTRA HOUR AND/OR EXTRA DAY CHAGRES. Extra hours are only charged if the Car is returned 30 minutes or more beyond the start of a new rental day; however, as stated in paragraph 3, if the Car is returned after hours, charges may continue to accrue until the return location reopens for business. IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ANY CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ON THE RENTAL RECORD APPLICABLE TO SPECIAL RATES, HERTZ’ OTHERWISE APPLICABLE RENTAL RATES WILL BE CHARGED. Any changes to your agreed upon return time, date, or location may result in a change to your quoted estimated rate total and the daily or hourly rate.

b. MILEAGE/KILOMETERAGE CHARGES, including those for extra miles/kilometers, if any, are based on the per mile/kilometer rate specified on the Rental Record. The number of miles/kilometers driven is determined by subtracting the Car’s odometer reading at the beginning of the rental from the reading when the Car is returned, excluding tenths of miles/kilometers. The per mile/kilometer rate is then multiplied by the number of miles/kilometers driven or, in the case of extra miles/kilometers, by the number of miles/kilometers in excess of the number of miles/kilometers allowed, as specified on the Rental Record. The result is the mileage/kilometerage Charge.

c. A SERVICE CHARGE may be applied if You return the Car to any location other than the location from which it is rented.

d. LDW, PERS, , PAI/PEC , ESP and LIS CHARGES, if applicable, are due and payable in full for each full or partial rental day, at the rates specified on the Rental Record.

e. TAXES, TAX REIMBURSEMENTS, VEHICLE LICENSING FEES, AIRPORT AND/OR HOTEL RELATED FEES AND FEE RECOVERIES, GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER SURCHARGES AND SIMILAR FEES are charged/recovered at the rates specified on the Rental Record or as otherwise required by applicable law.

f. TOLL, PARKING & TRAFFIC OCCURRENCES/VIOLATIONS: YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND PAY ALL TOLL OCCURRENCES, ALL PARKING, TRAFFIC AND TOLL VIOLATIONS, OTHER EXPENSES AND PENALTIES, ALL TOWING, STORAGE AND IMPOUND FEES AND ALL TICKETS CHARGED TO THE CAR ARISING OUT OF THE USE, POSSESSION OR OPERATION OF THE CAR BY YOU OR BY AN AUTHORIZED OPERATOR. You authorized Hertz to release Your billing/rental information and charge or debit card information or billing account information and information regarding Your rental to American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and PlatePass, LLC for the exclusive purpose of processing and billing for unpaid toll occurrences, and any violations, fines, penalties, and fees (and for PlatePass services, if utilized). You also agree to indemnify Hertz and/or American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and PlatePass, LLC, if they pay same. You agree to pay, upon billing, applicable service (typically $30) and other fees related to such toll occurrences or toll, parking or traffic violations and providing information about You to a court or governmental agency for each unpaid toll occurrence and each toll, parking or other citation incurred during Your rental. You further understand that Hertz, American Traffic Solutions, Inc. and /or PlatePass, LLC may furnish information regarding You, including but not limited to Your name, address and driver’s license number to the governmental agency or court responsible for issuing or enforcing unpaid toll occurrences and toll, parking or other citations that You incur during Your rental. For rentals throughout the U.S., including Hawaii: The amount of the service fee which You will be charged if Hertz or American Traffic Solutions, Inc. is required to pay for such an infraction or toll occurrence is up to $42.00 per toll occurrence or citation. You are encouraged to pay directly to the court, county government or other appropriate agency the applicable tolls, fines, costs, monetary assessments, penalties, fees, surcharges or other charges.

8. REFUELING OPTIONS

A. FOR RENTALS IN THE UNITED STATES. Most Hertz rentals come with a full tank of gas, but that is not always the case. The refueling options are:

1. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH AT LEAST AS MUCH FUEL AS WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, You will not pay Hertz a charge for fuel.

2. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH LESS FUEL THAN WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, Hertz will charge You a Fuel and Service Charge at the applicable per-mile/kilometer or per-gallon rate specified on the Rental Record.

a. The per-mile/kilometer rate is used if You do not buy fuel during the rental. To calculate this amount, Hertz multiplies the number of miles driven, as shown on the car's odometer, times the per-mile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record.

b. The per-gallon rate is used if You buy fuel during the rental but the tank is not as full when You return the Car as when You received it. To calculate this amount, Hertz multiplies the number of gallons needed to refill the fuel tank to the level it was at when You received the Car, times the per-gallon rate.

ALTHOUGH TWO METHODS ARE USED FOR EASE OF CALCULATION, THE PER-MILE/KILOMETER AND PER-GALLON RATES PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME RESULT.

3. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL BY SELECTING THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION, You will be charged as shown on the Rental Record for that purchase. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, YOU WILL NOT INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN, except in the following cases:

a. For rentals in Hawaii, if You return the Car with a full tank of fuel, You will receive a credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Hertz.

b. For rentals other than Replacement Rentals, if You drive the Car 75 miles or less and return it with less than a full tank of fuel, You will receive credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Hertz and will be charged for the fuel used at the per-mile rate shown on the Rental Record, but only if this will reduce the amount You pay for fuel.

EXCEPT FOR RENTALS AS TO WHICH CLAUSE (a) OR (b) OF SUBPARAGRAPH (3) BECOMES APPLICABLE, THE PER GALLON COST OF THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION WILL ALWAYS BE LOWER THAN THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE. BUT IF YOU ELECT THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN. THE COST OF REFUELING THE CAR YOURSELF AT A LOCAL SERVICE STATION WILL GENERALLY BE LOWER THAN THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE OR THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION. HOWEVER, THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE AND THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION ALLOW FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO STOP AND REFUEL THE CAR PRIOR TO RETURN.

B. FOR RENTALS IN CANADA. Most Hertz rentals come with a full tank of gas, but that is not always the case. There are three refueling options:

1. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH AT LEAST AS MUCH FUEL AS WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, You will not pay a charge for fuel.

2. IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL AND YOU RETURN THE CAR WITH LESS FUEL THAN WAS IN IT WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT, Hertz will charge You a Fuel and Service Charge at the applicable per­mile/kilometer or per­gallon rate specified on the Rental Record.

a. The per­mile/kilometer rate is used if You do not buy fuel during the rental. To calculate this amount, Hertz multiplies the number of miles driven as shown on the car’s odometer, times the per­ mile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record.

b. The per­gallon rate is used if You buy fuel during the rental but the tank is not as full when You return the Car as when You received it. To calculate this amount Hertz multiplies the number of gallons needed to refill the fuel tank to the level it was at when You received the Car, times the per­gallon rate.

ALTHOUGH TWO METHODS ARE USED FOR EASE OF CALCULATION, THE PER­ MILE/KILOMETER AND PER­GALLON RATES PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME RESULT.

3. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE FUEL FROM HERTZ AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RENTAL BY SELECTING THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION, You will be charged as shown on the Rental Record for that purchase. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, YOU WILL NOT INCUR AN ADDITIONAL FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN, except if You drive the Car 100 miles or less and return it with less than a full tank of fuel, You will receive credit for the amount previously charged for the purchase of fuel from Hertz and will be charged for the fuel used at the per­mile/kilometer rate shown on the Rental Record, but only if this will reduce the amount You pay for fuel.

EXCEPT FOR RENTALS AS TO WHICH SUBPARAGRAPH 8.(B)(3) BECOMES APPLICABLE, THE PER­GALLON COST OF THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION WILL ALWAYS BE LOWER THAN FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE, BUT IF YOU ELECT THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR FUEL LEFT IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF RETURN. THE COST OF REFUELING THE CAR YOURSELF AT THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION WILL GENERALLY BE LOWER THAN THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE OR THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION. HOWEVER, THE FUEL AND SERVICE CHARGE AND THE FUEL PURCHASE OPTION ALLOW FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF NOT HAVING TO STOP AND REFUEL THE CAR PRIOR TO RETURN.

COVERAGE

For rentals where The Hertz Corporation is the Renting Company, LIS also provides uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage for bodily injury and property damage, if applicable, for the difference between the statutory minimum underlying limits and US$1,000,000 limit of insurance for each accident, there is no coverage for an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim as a result of the negligence of the rental driver however, uninsured/underinsured coverage is not currently provided when the Renting Company is a Hertz licensee for rentals in those states where such coverage is not mandatory.

EXCLUSIONS
All exclusions, including claims arising from use of the Car as prohibited by this Agreement and claims by any of Your or any Authorized Operator’s family members related by blood, marriage or adoption who resides with You or the Authorized Operator, are set forth in the applicable policy, a copy of which is available at the corporate office.

YOU SHOULD READ THESE DISCLOSURES CAREFULLY AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE RENTAL. If You have declined LIS in Your Enrollment, You may nevertheless accept LIS for a specific rental by advising a Hertz representative of Your decision at the commencement of the rental and having the representative revise the Rental Record to reflect Your election. Likewise, if You have accepted LIS in Your Enrollment, You may elect to decline LIS for a specific rental by obtaining a revised Rental Record from a Hertz representative at the commencement of the rental.

6. PAYMENT OF CHARGES
(a) In Your Enrollment, You authorized Hertz to process all charges in any way incurred by You under this Agreement, including any rental charge (“Charges”) against the first credit, charge or debit card listed on Your Enrollment which has been authorized in accordance with local requirements, has available credit or funds and which is accepted at the rental location (“Authorized Payment Method”). (Note: As of June 1 , 2016, debit cards are generally not accepted in EMEA.) You authorize Hertz to take any Charges owed by you from the Authorized Payment Method without your additional authorization. You authorize Hertz to reserve credit with, or obtain an authorization from, the card issuer at the time of rental in a reasonable amount that is at least equal to all estimated Charges. You acknowledge and agree that each Renting Company is authorized under this Section 6 to take payment for Charges incurred in accordance with this Agreement for any rental provided by the Renting Company.

(b) You and any person to whom, with Hertz’ consent, You expressly direct the Charges to be billed, are jointly and severally responsible for payment of the Charges. If You direct Charges to be billed to any person, You represent that You are authorized to do so.

(c) If You do not pay any Charges within the time indicated on Your statement of account, Hertz reserves the right to charge You interest in addition to the outstanding charges, at a rate of 3% per annum above the base lending rate of the central bank for the currency in which the charges are denominated.

(d) The payment authorization given under Section 6(a) shall remain in place until the earlier of the expiry of your card or the end of your Enrollment. Hertz reserves the right to require you to provide further authorization to Hertz to charge the Authorized Payment Method as set out in this Agreement.

7. CHARGES

a) For any rental You make under this Agreement, the charges stated on the Rental Record reflect Your use of the Car as agreed at the start of Your rental. These include the basic rental charge, additional compulsory charges and any optional or ancillary services chosen by You either in Your Enrollment or at the time of reservation or rental, plus applicable taxes at the prevailing rate.

(b) The basic rental charge is made for a minimum of one rental day (the 24 hour period starting from the time the rental begins) and includes compulsory third party insurance and any other services as specified on the Rental Record.

(c) Additional compulsory charges may apply at certain locations and include a Vehicle Licence Fee (which passes on Your share of any compulsory charges incurred by Hertz for keeping the Car on the road), a Location Service Charge (which reflects the higher cost of renting from certain locations) and a Young Driver Surcharge (which may apply if You, or any additional driver, are under 21 years old).

(d) In addition to the charges stated on Your Rental Record, charges may arise from Your use of the Car during the rental and may include, amongst others, loss of or damage to the Car, a refuelling service charge, late return charge, additional driver charge, extra cleaning charge and any road tolls or fines or charges arising from traffic or parking offences during the rental (including a reasonable administration charge in accordance with paragraph 14(b)).

(e) Charges are subject to final calculation after return of the Car.

8. CURRENCY CONVERSION CHARGE
If available, You may arrange for Your rental charges for Program rentals commencing at certain Hertz locations in Europe to be converted from the currency of the country of rental to the currency in which Your credit, charge, or debit card is issued. If you elect to convert Your rental charges, then Hertz will convert such charges into the currency of the country in which the card was issued on the date Hertz or its agents forward the charges to Hertz’s card processor. Hertz will charge a currency conversion fee of up to 3% to perform this service. This fee may or may not replace the currency conversion charge assessed by Your card issuer, if Your card issuer charges such a fee. Such fees typically, but not always amount to 1.5% (for a total of approximately 4.5% when combined with the Hertz charges). The conversion will be based on an exchange rate provided by a reputable foreign exchange dealer when Your rental closes. That exchange rate may be less advantageous to you than the rate your credit card issuer would otherwise have used if Hertz were to forward the charges to Your card issuer in the currency in which the charges were originally incurred. . If You do not agree to Hertz arranging the conversion and to payment of the currency conversion fee, You may opt to have the conversion made by Your card issuer by completing the currency conversion opt out form that will be provided for You in the Car and either returning it to the Hertz counter at the end of the rental or placing it with the keys in the Express Return Box.

9. REFUELLING SERVICE CHARGE
(a) The Car will be supplied to You with a full tank of fuel. If You return the Car with less than a full tank of fuel, a refuelling service charge will be payable by You for fuel and the service of refuelling at the applicable rate specified on the Rental Record.

(b) However, if You have, as indicated on the Rental Record, elected to purchase a full tank of fuel at the commencement of the rental by accepting the Fuel Purchase Option, then there will be no refuelling service charge on return of the Car (although You will not receive any credit for fuel remaining). Instead, You will pay the amount indicated on the Rental Record for the fuel You purchase at the commencement of the rental.

10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROPERTY
Hertz is not liable to You or any Authorised Driver or passenger for loss of or damage to property left in the Car either during or after the period of rental unless the loss or damage results from the negligence of Hertz or breach of this Agreement by Hertz. Such property is entirely at Your own risk, unless covered by Personal Insurance as described below under “Summary Of Optional Services Available For Rentals In Europe, Middle East And Africa”.

11. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY INSURANCE; INDEMNITY
(a) Hertz has a legal requirement to provide third party insurance coverage. This coverage is included in the basic rental charge.

(b) Hertz’ automobile liability insurance policy meets all legal requirements and protects Hertz, You and any Authorised Driver against legal claims from any other person for death or personal injury or damage to any other person’s property caused by use of the Car.

(c) You agree to reimburse Hertz if Hertz is obliged to compensate (i) the insurers for any payment they make to a third party on Your behalf and/or (ii) any third party, if that third party suffers death, personal injury or damage to property caused by use of the Car by You or any Authorised Driver in breach of paragraph 2 (Who May Operate the Car) or paragraph 5 (Prohibited Use of the Car) of this Agreement.

12. ACCIDENTS, THEFT AND VANDALISM
(a) You must, where possible, report any traffic accident, loss, damage or theft involving the Car to the police immediately and to Hertz within 24 hours of the incident or discovery of the incident.

(b) You must not admit any liability, release any party from liability, or settle any claim nor accept any disclaimer in the event of an accident, but should take the names and addresses of everyone involved, including witnesses.

(c) A Hertz accident or theft report form must always be completed and submitted to Hertz when You return the Car. In the event of theft, You must return the keys and any remote control anti­theft device to Hertz. If You do not comply with the requirements of this paragraph 12, any optional coverage You take to reduce or eliminate Your liability (including CDW, TP, SC, and SCDW) will be void.

(d) You agree to co­operate with Hertz and our insurers in any investigation or subsequent legal proceedings arising out of loss of or damage to the Car.

13. LIMITS ON LIABILITY
(a) Subject to paragraph 13(b), Hertz shall not be liable to You or any third party for any loss or damage arising from the rental other than as a result of our negligence or wilful misconduct or any other breach by Hertz of this Agreement. Hertz shall not be liable for any indirect or unforeseeable loss or damages, including loss of profits or loss of opportunity.

(b) Nothing in paragraph 13(a) shall exclude or restrict Hertz’ liability for death or personal injury resulting from acts or omissions of Hertz or any other liability which cannot be excluded as a matter of law.

14. PARKING AND TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
(a) You are fully responsible for all road tolls, parking fees, and any fines or other consequences of the violation of traffic regulations (including congestion charges), orders or prohibitions, or any other laws or regulations during the rental.

(c) Hertz shall, upon request, supply You with a copy of any traffic violation notice which Hertz receives.

SUMMARY OF OPTIONAL SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR RENTALS IN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA



Your rentals using the Program will include the combination of optional services and Car class which You have selected in Your Enrollment (as such elections may have been modified from time to time by You). You may select a different Car class at the time that You make Your reservation. You may also select different optional services for a specific rental at the time the rental commences.

For rentals at some locations, certain optional services may not be available on the basis of an advance request in Your Enrollment to obtain them. (This would be likeliest to occur when, in Hertz’ judgment, applicable law made it impracticable to offer such services at the location on an advance basis.) In such circumstances, the Rental Record will indicate that You have declined to obtain such optional services, even though Your Enrollment specifies that you wish to obtain them for EMEA Program rentals. You may still be able to purchase such services at the commencement of the rental even when they are not available on the basis of an advance request. To do this, You must advise a Hertz representative at the rental location of Your decision to purchase such services at the commencement of the rental and, if such services are available at that time, have the representative revise the Rental Record to reflect Your decision.

As of June 1, 2016, the classes of Cars which are available for rentals in Europe, Middle East and Africa using the Program include Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full­Size and Premium.

For information regarding the optional Theft Protection (TP), Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Super CDW (SCDW) and Super Cover (SC), please refer to paragraph 4 of the General EMEA Terms. Variations or additions to the optional services described below are detailed in the Program Country Specific Terms which follow this Summary of Optional Services.

This summary is as of June 1, 2016. Optional Services offered, coverages, limits, exclusions, other features and prices are all subject to change without notice.

PERSONAL INSURANCE



1. APPLICABILITY
This section is only applicable to the personal insurance (“PI”) products sold in the following destination countries: Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux and France. For information on the PI products available in connection with car rentals in other destination countries, please refer to the information provided online when completing the booking form or ask at your Hertz rental location.

2. HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM?
Any claim you have under your PI policy will be handled by Hertz Claims Management Limited (HCM). If you need to make a claim, please complete the Claim Notification Form which can be found in the PI leaflet provided by your Hertz rental location and send it to HCM at the address shown in this leaflet. Alternatively, claim forms can be acquired by phoning or sending an email to HCM using the contact information provided by your Hertz rental location.

(a) Personal effects Claim
You must obtain a crime reference number before we can settle any claim for theft or loss of goods. This will be given to you by the Police once you have reported the matter to them. We will also ask you to provide evidence of the goods you have lost. For example, we would ask you to provide original purchase receipts and/or photographs of any item.

(b) Personal Injury Claim
For details of how to make a personal injury claim, please refer to the HCM contact information provided by your Hertz rental location. HCM will assist you with the information required to make a claim.

(c) Claims Process
We will acknowledge receipt of your claim within 10 days and provide the name, telephone number, and email address of the claim handler dealing with your file and a case reference number. We will aim to settle your claim promptly, subject to proper investigation.

3. CANCELLATION
You may cancel your PI policy at any time during the rental with effect from the day after you make the request. This is because PI is charged at the full daily rate for each day or part of a day that you take PI. If you wish to cancel PI once the rental has started, please return to one of our branch locations. Your rental agreement will then be terminated and invoiced and a new rental agreement, without inclusion of PI, will be opened with effect from the day after you make the cancellation.

4. COMPLAINTS
If you have a complaint about the service you receive in the event of a claim, you should firstly bring this to the attention of the branch manager. Then if you are still not satisfied, write to HCM using the contact information provided by your Hertz rental location. We aim to acknowledge all complaints received within five working days, to send an initial response within four weeks and a final response in eight weeks.

5. INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSURER
The insurer is Probus Insurance Company Europe DAC (“Probus”), registered in the Republic of Ireland under company number 252557 at Hertz Europe Services Centre, Swords Business Park, Swords, Co Dublin. Hertz and Probus are subsidiaries of The Hertz Corporation, a company incorporated in New Jersey, U.S.A. Hertz only offers a PI product from Probus, although it is not obligated to sell this product and is not constrained from offering similar products from other insurers.

6. WHAT ARE YOU INSURED FOR WHEN YOU RENT A HERTZ VEHICLE?
As soon as you pick up the keys for your Hertz car, you are covered by Third Party Insurance, which is automatically included in your rental rate. It’s required by law and protects you and any other authorised drivers of the Hertz vehicle against liabilities that may arise from causing death or injury to other people or damage to their property.

7. OTHER OPTIONS TO CONSIDER
We also provide waivers of your liability to us should your Hertz vehicle be stolen or damaged during the rental. These are usually optional, but may be included in your Hertz rental package. Theft Protection (TP) covers loss of or damage to the vehicle as a result of theft, attempted theft or vandalism, whereas Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) covers any other damage to the vehicle, such as through an accident. Each waiver is subject to an excess, but you can eliminate the excess for both CDW and TP by taking out our SuperCover (SC). Ask at the counter for more details. At Hertz, we also understand the importance of protecting the things you love. So for even more peace of mind, we offer an optional PI to cover you, your passengers, and your possessions.

8. A QUICK GUIDE TO HERTZ PERSONAL INSURANCE
PI is an optional insurance designed to meet the demands and needs of those seeking cover for risks that are not met by the above insurance and waivers. These include the risks of death, injury, and loss of or damage to personal possessions. PI covers you and your passengers for such risks arising from your use of the Hertz vehicle during the rental.

9. WHO IS COVERED?
PI covers you as the renter of the Hertz vehicle and any driver authorised by Hertz and named in the rental agreement. It also covers passengers in the Hertz vehicle up to the number of authorised places for that type of vehicle. PI covers these occupants of the Hertz vehicle, their baggage and belongings, for the agreed duration of the rental agreement. The protection afforded by PI will be void if you do not comply with the conditions of use of the rental vehicle contained in the rental agreement and reduced proportionately if you have any other insurance to cover Medical & Emergency Expenses, Hospital Benefits and/or Personal Effects.

10. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
(a) Personal Effects The baggage, clothing, and personal effects owned by the driver and passengers are insured whilst in the Hertz locked and secured vehicle against loss or damage by collision, fire or theft subject to an allowance for wear and tear and depreciation.

The maximum amount payable under this section is €225,000 per accident, including up to €150,000 for the driver and up to €75,000 in total for the passengers.
