Hertz operates from all
major cities, airports and leisure centers throughout Australia.
Hertz’s one-way policy permits rentals between all mainland
depots and within Tasmania, allowing for flexible itinerary
planning. The Hertz fleet caters for all requirements, ranging
from small economical hatchbacks to luxury sedans and 4WDs.
All vehicles undergo stringent maintenance checks between
rentals. Touring maps, brochures with driving tips and generous
Hertz value vouchers are available to all renters.

UPGRADE
Voluntary upgrades as purchased at time of rental will be
charged, direct to the customer, at the locally applicable

ONE WAY RENTALS
All one-way fees are collected at the Hertz location at time
of rental and cannot be prepaid. One-way fees apply to certain
regions – ask for details. Minimum one-way rental is
three days.
ACCIDENT DAMAGES EXCESS
Hertz Tour Rates in Australia include Collision Damage Waiver
(CDW) which provides cover for accident damages to the Hertz
vehicle and/or third-party property. CDW is deemed invalid
if the renter does not comply with the rental terms and conditions.
In the event of accident damage, an Accident Damages Excess
(ADE) will apply. This is the amount the renter contributes
to the loss of, or damage to, the Hertz vehicle, and third-party
damage.
For all 4WD and car rentals originating from Remote and
4WD locations, a Single Vehicle Accident (SVA), excess also
applies. The excess applies to any accident in which the vehicle
is involved, which does not involve the vehicle colliding
with another moving vehicle, including but not limited to
rollovers, collisions with animals, immersion in water and
reversing into stationary objects.
