To soften the blow after some negative changes to its loyalty program, Hertz is out with a promotion to earn 950 bonus points — which is synonymous to a free rental day. Even better, you can earn up to 3 free rental days through October 5, 2024.

Here are the details you need to know about the rental car company’s latest promotion.

Hertz Free Rental Day Promotion Details

Through October 5, 2024, you can earn 950 bonus points on each Hertz rental of 2 days or longer with the promo code 211511. You can earn the bonus up to 3 times through the end of the promotion.

You’ll need to reserve and pick up your car between July 15 and October 5, 2024, to qualify for this offer. The bonus points available with this promotion will expire on December 31, 2024, so be sure to redeem them by year’s end.

Hertz uses Standard and AnyDay award pricing, with Standard dates starting at 950 points for a free rental. Thus, you could earn up to 3 free rental days with the current promotion.

However, after some changes to Hertz policies and a reduction in the number of Standard dates on the award calendar, finding awards at these lowest prices is increasingly difficult.

More realistically, you may find rentals at the AnyDay price, starting at 1,900 points for a free rental day. You could earn 1,900 points from 2 eligible rentals during the current promotion, assuming you rent twice, each rental is at least 2 days, and you use the promo code 211511 at the time of reservation.

There are some important terms to note in this offer:

The terms say you’ll earn a free rental day, but this will be awarded as 950 Hertz Gold Plus Rewards points.
Reserve and pick up your car between July 15 and October 5.
Rentals must be at least 2 days to qualify for the 950 bonus points.
A maximum of 3 rentals per member are eligible during this offer.
Only available on rentals from locations eligible for earning points.
Points will be deposited to your account within 7 days of a qualifying rental.
Bonus points earned in this promotion will expire on December 31, 2024, if not redeemed by then.
Must use promo code 211511 at the time of reservation.

Final Thoughts

If your plans between now and October 5 call for a rental car, renting from Hertz could give you enough points for a free rental. Just remember to use the promo code and note that the bonus points will expire by the end of the year, so have a plan for using that free rental before it goes away.
