Get the most out of your Hertz car rentals with a AAA membership.

At Hertz, we’re here to get you to your Let’s Go moments. That’s why we’re dedicated to making every car rental for every customer seamless. Whether you crave an extended getaway on the open road or are ready to explore city streets while on a business trip, go wherever the road may lead in any car you choose.

And how can we make a seamless experience even better?

More than 45 years ago, Hertz teamed up with AAA, one of North America’s largest leisure travel organizations. This exciting partnership enables more drivers to enjoy a faster, easier, and more rewarding car rental experience.

 

Hertz + AAA: Partners in travel. Endless possibilities.

It all started in 1978, when Hertz Rental Car signed an agreement with AAA, giving AAA members enhanced value anytime they rented a car from a Hertz airport location. Then, in 1993, Hertz became AAA’s exclusive rental car partner and, in 1998, off-airport, neighborhood Hertz car rental locations became part of the AAA program, giving members even more options.

Since then, the partnership has continued to grow and extend across multiple AAA products and services.

Hertz is honored to be one of the longest-tenured partners in AAA history, offering AAA members exclusive rental car benefits and savings. Simply use a designated AAA club discount code, CDP, during booking and present your AAA membership card at a Hertz car rental location to lock in these exclusive savings and benefits.

 

What exclusive benefits do AAA members get with Hertz?

  • Everyday savings up to 20% off the base rate*
  • Add an additional driver for free*
  • Reserve a free car seat*
  • Enjoy a waived Young Renter fee for members ages 20-24*
  • Save 10% off prepaid gas*
  • 1% cash back for Hertz rentals charged to a AAA credit card*

 

What if I’m enrolled in Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® and I’m also a AAA member?

  • AAA members get points equivalent to 1 free rental after you complete 1 rental, plus AAA Premier members get Five Star status.**
  • Earn points toward free rental days.**
  • Skip the counter at select locations and go straight to your car.
