Hertz Rent2Buy, The Hertz Corporation’s (NYSE:HTZ) online used car sales program, announced today a new partnership with the Allied Business Network (ABN) providing ABN members a discount on their vehicle purchased through Hertz Rent2Buy.
"We are enthusiastic about extending benefits through Hertz Rent2Buy to our longtime partner, Allied Business Network" commented Mark P. Frissora, Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This partnership is just a natural extension of our pre-existing relationship with ABN, providing them with savings through Hertz rental cars, and now through Hertz Rent2Buy purchases.”
ABN is a collection of more than 37,000 businesses, entrepreneurs, small business owners and individuals located throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. ABN has been providing discounts to businesses through group buying for over 14 years. ABN negotiates prices with national suppliers to get its members the best discounts available including significant savings on Hertz car rentals, Hertz #1 Club Gold memberships, and now on Hertz Rent2Buy vehicles. With this partnership, ABN members who purchase a car through Hertz Rent2Buy will receive $100 off the purchase price of the vehicle.
ABN was named Hertz's 2010 Small Business Partner of the Year based on their loyalty and dedication to the long time partnership with Hertz to provide discounted car rental services to their members. "ABN's marketing efforts are second to none in our membership segment," said Frissora "and have resulted in a continuing upward trend of activity from, and significant savings for, their member companies. They get it when it comes to value proposition."
Hertz Rent2Buy is an online used cars for sale program that allows customers to reserve a rental car they may want to buy for a three-day test drive. Used car shoppers visit www.hertzrent2buy.com and select the car of their choice at a convenient Hertz location. Customers have full use of the vehicle for up to three days. A customer who chooses to purchase the vehicle simply keeps the car and pays the listed price without any haggling and the rental fee, other than any fee for optional products purchased, is waived. For customers who choose to purchase the car, competitive finance options are available to simplify the payment process at incredibly competitive used car prices.
If the customer decides not to purchase the car, the vehicle is returned to the rental location and the transaction is treated as a standard rental.
"We are very excited to introduce Hertz’s Rent2Buy program to our members. We have a tremendously successful history with Hertz, and we feel that our members will find just as much value in our new Rent2Buy program as they do in our car rental program.” ABN President Jack Bergman said.
