More Details on the Mobile Gold Alerts service:

What happens on the day of rental?

As soon as you car is ready, we will send you a Mobile Gold Alert by email. The message will include the car we have chosen for you and the plate number. At large US airports, we will also tell you the stall number it is parked in, so you can go straight to your car and get on your way. At other Hertz locations, you need to pick up the keys and contract from a Hertz representative.

What happens on the day of rental?

As soon as your car is ready, we will send you a Mobile Gold Alert by either email or SMS (or both) depending on your profile selection.  The message will include the car we have chosen for you and the plate number.  At U.S. airports with Gold Boards, we will also tell you the stall number it is parked in, so you can go straight to your car and get on your way.  At other Hertz locations, you need to pick up the keys and contract from a Hertz representative.

What if I want a different car?

We want you to have the best rental experience always. So if you would like a different car, you have two choices:

1.  Go to the Gold Choice* area and, if you have booked at least an intermediate or midsize car, you can pick from any of the available models or choose to upgrade to one of the specialty cars
2. Ask a Hertz representative at the Gold VIP booth about available special offers

What if I am late?

If you are late or we need to change your car, we will send you a message to let you know.  Just come straight to the Gold VIP booth when you arrive and we will get you on your way.

What if I don’t need the car anymore?

Just call the phone number in the message or click the link to Hertz.com to cancel the reservation. We appreciate you letting us know.

What happens if I don’t receive my Mobile Gold Alert?

Just check the Hertz Gold^TM Board on arrival or step over to the Gold VIP booth.  Also check that the email address and mobile phone number in your  profile are up to date.  For SMS Mobile Gold Alerts, you will need to respond to the Opt in Message (see details below) before you can start receiving them.
