New Amex Offer: Save $75 on Your Next Hertz Rental [Until December 14]

Renting a car can be expensive, but there’s a new Amex Offer that saves you $75 on any Hertz rental that costs $350 or more — or multiple rentals that add up to that amount.

This can provide considerable savings, though there is a drawback to using an American Express card to rent a vehicle, which we’ll get into below.

Hertz Amex Offer Details

This new Amex Offer expires on December 14, 2026, and requires you to spend at least $350 with Hertz to get a one-time $75 statement credit. With Amex Offers, you can use the credit over multiple transactions, so you don’t necessarily need to spend $350 all at once.

However, you do need to add this offer to your card by December 14.

The downside is that Amex cards don’t typically come with primary rental car insurance, so if you add on Amex Premium Protection, that’s an extra cost of $12.25 to $24.95 for each rental period, potentially negating any savings. You should calculate the costs to determine what is most cost-effective for you.

Your rental must be from a Hertz corporate-owned location in the U.S. (such as at an airport). The rental has to be paid by December 14, 2026, so plan to return several days prior, leaving plenty of time for the charge to post to your card — assuming you didn’t prepay in full at the time of booking.

Additionally, you need to make your reservation directly with Hertz instead of another website or a third party. Lastly, this offer doesn’t cover incidentals like tolls or Rent2Buy offers.

About Amex Offers

Amex Offers provide a statement credit or bonus points after you spend with an eligible merchant. However, you need to add the offer to your card before making a purchase and must complete the spending by the deadline listed in the offer. Additionally, you need to ensure you use the card that you added the offer to, because using a different card for payment won’t trigger the offer.

Each card in your account may be targeted for different stores or amounts, so you’ll want to scroll through all of your cards to see what you’re eligible for or which card may be best for the savings. Then, add the offer to your card before spending.

Final Thoughts

With the cost of rental cars these days, this is a timely offer to save $75 on your next set of Hertz rentals totaling $350 or more.

See if it makes sense to charge your rental to your American Express card, or if charging to a different card that provides primary rental car protection would be better.
