EY, Hertz sign partnership agreement

ETIHAD Airways has signed a three-year agreement with Hertz, bringing the airline’s passengers a broad range of worldwide car-rental benefits and money-saving offers.  The partnership is designed to integrate the technology platforms of both companies to deliver a seamless travel experience from the departure gate to the driving seat.  

Hertz has built a new dedicated microsite allowing Etihad customers to book online, and has also created a unique platform enabling Etihad call centre staff to offer customers a competitive deal on car hire while booking their flights by phone.

Hertz car rental services are now available to all Etihad customers worldwide through multiple reservation channels, including etihad.com, Etihad call centres, Etihad Holidays and retail outlets.

The extended partnership stands out as a market leader in terms of integration between an airline and a car-rental organisation, and builds on the benefits and privileges of the companies’ existing loyalty programme partnership.

To mark the beginning of the new partnership, all Etihad customers renting a car with Hertz by April 30 will have the chance to win a package of two return Etihad flights to either Europe or Australia, five nights’ five-star accommodation at Relais & Chateaux, and the use of a Hertz Prestige Collection vehicle for five days to explore the open road. Terms and conditions apply and are available on the Etihad website www.etihad.com.
