Great news if you have elite status with Hertz and are feeling generous this holiday season: Hertz is allowing members to share their President’s Circle or Five Star status with friends and family! 

This is a limited-time offer, so if you know someone who could use some upgrades, this is a great time to share some status.

Give the Gift of Hertz Elite Status

Current Five Star and President’s Circle elite members in Hertz Gold Plus Rewards can gift their status level (free of charge) to 2 friends, family members, or work colleagues.

The gifted status can be used from January 13 through December 31, 2025.

How To Share Your Hertz President’s Circle or Five Star Status

Once you have chosen the lucky recipient of your Hertz elite status gift, you will need to complete the following steps:

The process is very simple, and both parties will receive a confirmation email when the gifting is complete.

You must complete the form by December 31, 2024.

Hot Tip:

You can get complimentary Hertz Presidents Circle status if you hold the Platinum Card® from American Express and enroll for this benefit with Hertz. And once you have status in any rental car program, you can status match to other rental car programs.

Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Benefits

At the very least, anyone renting from Hertz should sign up for Hertz Gold Plus rewards purely for the fact that you can skip the line and go right to your assigned car. That can be a huge timesaver.

Final Thoughts

If you have elite status with Hertz, this is a great opportunity to share the perks with someone for almost 12 months. Previous versions of this offer were only valid for 6 months.

President’s Circle status can be quite valuable for scoring upgrades, and being able to share these perks is a great (free) gift to give to a fellow traveler.

The process is simple, so if you know someone who might enjoy some elite status, don’t wait!
