Hertz Global Holdings expands its Rent2Buy program to over 100 US cities. The program allows customers to rent a car and purchase it at a discounted price if they decide to keep it.

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. has announced a significant expansion of its Rent2Buy program, with the initiative now available in over 100 US cities. The Rent2Buy program allows customers to rent a car and purchase it at a discounted price if they decide to keep it. The expansion aims to increase sales and provide customers with a flexible vehicle ownership option. The program is available through Hertz's Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands [2].

The Rent2Buy program offers thousands of well-maintained, competitively priced used vehicles, including newly added 2025 models, for an extended test drive. Customers can browse online, reserve a vehicle, and take it home for a 3-day test rental. The low daily rental fee is completely waived if they decide to buy. The program eliminates the pressure and guesswork of traditional car shopping, allowing customers to test drive vehicles at a low daily rate for up to three days before purchasing [1].

In many states, customers can even complete the purchase from home. Every Rent2Buy vehicle is backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, 24-hour roadside assistance, travel breakdown protection, and a 7-day/250-mile buy-back guarantee. The program provides early access to newer, lower-mileage cars, often priced below Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value [1].

The expansion of the Rent2Buy program is part of Hertz's broader strategy to enhance customer experience and increase sales. The program's success can be attributed to its flexible nature, which allows customers to make informed purchasing decisions without the typical pressure of traditional car buying [1].

The Rent2Buy program is expected to contribute to Hertz's ongoing efforts to improve its market position and increase revenue. By offering a unique and flexible vehicle ownership option, Hertz is meeting the growing demand for innovative and customer-friendly automotive solutions.
