Hertz has renewed its global partnership with Lufthansa, bringing expanded car rental benefits for passengers in the process, including exclusive rental offers when renting with Hertz. 

Michel Taride, group president, Hertz International and Heike Birlenbach, SVP sales, Lufthansa Hub Airlines and CCO Hub Frankfurt.

The partnership renewal will allow members of Lufthansa’s frequent flyer program Miles & More to earn a minimum of 500 miles on their Hertz rentals. Joining the Hertz’s complimentary loyalty program Gold Plus Rewards means Miles & More members will be able to save time on every rental, benefit from the extra perks, and have their status matched with Gold Plus Rewards’ equivalent tiers.

The two firms first signed their global agreement in 2013 although Hertz has been successfully partnering with Lufthansa’s Miles & More for more than 23 years.

Michel Taride, group president, Hertz International, said: “We are confident that the renewal of our alliance with Lufthansa will be very welcomed by travellers seeking convenience, high quality and reliability for their trips. Lufthansa’s extensive route network across 83 countries, together with our truly global footprint and leading presence in the US, are certainly a perfect match for both leisure and business travellers.”
