"Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members represent some of our most
dedicated and valued customers – many of whom travel often for
business," says Eric Smuda, Hertz
vice president of Loyalty and Customer Experience. "Offering the
chance to win 1 million points, plus hundreds of other great prizes
is just one way we want thank them for their business. It also
serves as the perfect opportunity for frequent travelers to make
the most of their trips because they can receive an entry each and
every time they rent."
In addition to rewarding loyal and frequent travelers for their
business, Hertz also strives to provide them with a seamless and
efficient rental experience. In a recent survey, members of the
Hertz Hub – an online community comprised of approximately 6,000
frequent travelers who regularly share feedback on the brand's
products and services – revealed that a fast pick up is what they
value most about renting from Hertz, followed by the ability to
bypass the counter and receive vehicle upgrades.
When it comes to their favored mode of transportation, 88
percent of those surveyed said that they preferred to rent a car
when going on a business trip for more than three days over using a
ride-sharing service (7%), public transportation (3%) or a taxi
(2%).
While business travel certainly can have its perks, it can also
come with challenges, and survey respondents didn't hold back when
sharing some of those pain points:
- No one likes a "know-it-all"
Nearly 40 percent of
those surveyed said their least favorite business travel companion
is "the know-it-all" followed by "the chatterbox" (29%), "the
drinker" (19%), "the boss" (10%) and "the rookie" or new employee
(2%).
- Comfort is king
An uncomfortable airline seat (27%) and long lines (26%) were the
top two biggest annoyances of business travel for those surveyed,
followed by loud hotel neighbors (15%).
- Pitfalls to avoid when traveling with
co-workers
Gossiping about work or co-workers is the No. 1
pitfall to avoid when traveling with co-workers (30%), closely
followed by drinking too much alcohol (25%) and oversharing
personal information (22%).
Despite varying pet peeves, one thing frequent business
travelers can all agree on is their love for loyalty programs. For
six years in a row, Hertz Gold Plus Rewards has been named the Best
Rewards Program in the car rental industry by the FlyerTalk Awards.
In addition to earning points that can be redeemed for rental days
or in exchange for other frequent traveler program rewards, Gold
Plus Rewards members can skip the counter at more than 50 airports
worldwide and go directly to their vehicle. At top airport
locations, members can also take advantage of Hertz Ultimate
Choice, and choose the vehicle they want to drive and receive free
upgrades when they reserve a midsize vehicle or larger.
*Free Day includes base rate (time and mileage) only. Taxes,
fees, and options are excluded.
