The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

The latest Hertz promotion is interesting. You can get a free day added to your next rental of 2 days or more, but it’s not valid at airport rental locations.

Let’s check out the details of this unique offer.

Hertz Free Rental Day Promotion Details

Through November 5, 2024, rentals of 2-27 days in length will get a free day added on. To be clear, this is included in your current booking and isn’t a reward for a free day that you can use later.

To qualify, you need to use the promo code 211636, and you need to start your rental no later than November 5, 2024. You don’t have to complete the rental by that date, though.

This offer excludes convertibles, minivans, and large SUVs, and it only applies to neighborhood rental locations. That means renting a car from an airport location won’t qualify for the free rental day.

There are some important terms to note in this offer:

  • Receive a free day added to reservations of 2-27 days.
  • Reserve and pick up your car between October 21 and November 5.
  • Rentals must be at least 2 days.
  • Must rent from a neighborhood rental location.
  • Certain car types aren’t eligible.
  • Must use promo code 211636 at the time of reservation.
Hot Tip:

Is It Worth It?

Getting a free day added to your rental car reservation sounds great. However, the restrictions should make you pause.

If you only need a car for a day or can’t pick it up by November 5, 2024, this offer won’t mean much to you. The toughest restriction for most people will be the location: needing to rent from a neighborhood location.

Is that inconvenient for you? How much will it cost to get from the airport to the eligible location, and how long will that take? If the numbers make sense, this is a good deal. Just ensure you aren’t spending more on transportation than you’re saving with the promotion.

Final Thoughts

If your plans between now and November 5 call for a rental car, renting from Hertz could give you a free day on your reservation. Just remember to use the promo code and note the restrictions required for using this offer.
