Valid license from country of residence will be required at time of rental.

International customers renting in Canada are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.

A flat fee of $1.99 may apply for driver's license verification.

U.S. renters must provide valid license, temporary license in cases of lost, stolen or expired license, and chauffeur's license issued in the U.S. or a U.S. territory.

Mobile/Digital Driver License

A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.

When you sign the Hertz Rental Agreement, you automatically receive our limited liability, which is stipulated on the reverse side of the Rental Agreement.

- Hertz's liability protection is included in the rates.

- Hertz's liability protection is primary. Your car insurance would not become involved until the limits of Hertz's liability have been reached.
- Hertz's liability protection applies to all authorized drivers of the Hertz vehicle.

Any physical damage to the Hertz vehicle is the sole responsibility of the renter, regardless of fault, unless "Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)" is purchased. If you purchase LDW, you will not be responsible for loss or damage to the Hertz vehicle except to the extent of any applicable deductible.

Liability protection and LDW will be void, if violations listed on the Rental Agreement occur. Exclusion of protection can vary by location and should be verified at the rental counter.  

Liability protection up to a single limit of CAD$1 Million per accident for bodily injury or property damage combined, is included.

Exclusion of coverage may occur when the vehicle is used as follows:

-To carry persons or property for hire.
-To propel or tow any vehicle, trailer or other subject in any race or contest.
-To instruct an unlicensed person in vehicle operation.
-For any illegal purposes.

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)

LDW is an optional service which relieves your financial responsibility for the loss of, or damage to the Hertz vehicle resulting from any cause, except to the extent of any deductible, if applicable, provided the vehicle is used in accordance with the terms of the Rental Agreement. Cost of LDW may vary depending on location or vehicle type and is charged per each full or partial day of rental.

Note: various credit card companies provide cardholders with varying degrees of damage protection provided you use their charge card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary - be sure to check specifics with your credit card company prior to rental. Since you may choose to decline Hertz's coverage, you will be responsible to Hertz for the full value of any damage due to loss of or damage to the Hertz vehicle. If loss does occur, you must then submit a claim for reimbursement to your credit card company.

Adding LDW after vehicle is on rental:

You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the vehicle and starting a new Rental Agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time you kept the vehicle (at least 1 day minimum), and a new rental contract will begin.

Electric Vehicle Rental – Battery Charging Options

1. EV Purchase Option (EVPO): Purchase this option to pay for the amount of charge in the EV battery at time of pickup, at a rate similar to local charging stations plus a small fee. Then you can return the EV at any battery level. No refunds for the charge left in the battery at time of return.

2. EV Service Charge (EVSC): If you do not select EVPO and do not recharge the vehicle yourself, Hertz will charge you for the difference in battery level at pickup and return, at the same energy rate as EVPO but with a higher fee.

3. You recharge: Pay no additional cost if you return the EV at the same battery level it had at pickup — but you never have to bring it back over 75%.
