AAA membership offers you far more than roadside assistance when you need it most. It’s also the perfect travel companion. Get peace of mind that if you break down, AAA will be there to help with their unrivalled roadside response. And if your car needs repairs, your AAA membership gives you access to almost 7,000 approved Auto Repair facilities. And it’s not all about recovery and repairs either. One of the biggest AAA membership benefits you’ll stand to gain from is a partnership with Hertz. Members get access to a range of AAA Hertz discounts on rental vehicles and fuel. You can also benefit from waived fees and so much more.
So, whether you’re looking to hire a vehicle that will be the cornerstone of a family road trip you’ll never forget, or you simply need a car for a day to attend a business meeting - a AAA membership can help you unlock a wealth of benefits with Hertz.
Discover more about the Hertz benefits you can enjoy with your AAA membership.
With an AAA membership, drivers can enjoy a discount of up to 20% off the base rate of renting a car. This is valid on all rentals, including Electric Vehicles (EVs). Saving on your Hertz rental car can free up more money for your travel plans, whether that’s attraction tickets, staying in a luxury hotel, dining out, or for fuel to travel a little further.
The Hertz AAA discount amount will vary depending on location, length of rental, date, vehicle class and other factors.
With a AAA membership, you can also add a second driver to your car rental without the associated fee. The additional driver fee is waived for AAA members. This can save you as much as $13.50 per day on the cost of your vehicle rental.
Adding an additional driver can be very beneficial, especially if you’re planning a longer road trip. It means you can each take turns behind the wheel and cover more miles without sacrificing vital rest. It also means both drivers can experience driving on some of the country’s most famous and iconic roads. To qualify as an additional driver, the named person will need to:
When renting from Hertz, normally renters under the age of 25 pay a small young renter fee of $19 per day. With a AAA membership, this young renter fee is waived, saving you a significant amount, especially if you plan on hiring a vehicle for a few days.
Bear in mind, however, if you want to add someone under 25 as an additional driver, they are excluded from renting certain classes of cars including:
Save $13.99 each day you need a child safety seat with your AAA membership. A complimentary child seat means you can travel with peace of mind with your family while saving some extra money.
Be sure to reserve the seat in advance so you can guarantee one will be available for your travels. A limited number of seats are available each day, so don’t risk arriving at your pick-up spot to find no seats are available.
Travel a few extra miles with 10% off the cost of a tank of gas when purchasing prepaid fuel. As well as saving 10% with the prepaid option, AAA members also save time as there’s no need to refuel the vehicle before you return it. Please know, there are no refunds for unused fuel so feel free to get the most out of your tank before refueling.
With your AAA membership, you can enjoy a limited loss damage liability of $5,000, providing peace of mind during your rental period (as long as there is no violation of the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement).
A loss of use charge is a fee paid so that the rental company won’t charge the driver if your rental car is stolen or damaged during the rental period. While this daily cost can add to the price of your rental, with a AAA membership, you’ll have this fee waived.
So, not only will you have extra cash to spend on your travels, you won’t have to worry about paying additional charges in case of damage or repairs.
AAA membership benefits also include the option to join Hertz Gold Plus Rewards. With this program, you get additional benefits on top of those that come with AAA membership. Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program includes:
