How can I add an additional driver to my Hertz car rental booking?
Sharing the drive makes a long journey much more enjoyable. At Hertz, you can easily add an authorized additional driver to your rental agreement. Here is everything you need to know:
1. Adding a Driver at the Rental Counter
The most common way to add a driver is at the time of pickup.
- Presence: Both the primary renter and the additional driver must be present at the counter.
- Documentation: The additional driver must present a valid driver's license.
- Process: The agent will verify the documents and update your rental agreement on the spot.
2. Adding a Driver During Your Trip
If you decide you need an extra driver after you have already started your journey:
- Visit any Hertz rental location.
