Hertz hours

Hertz hours vary widely by location type. Airport major-hub locations often run 24 hours or 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM matching flight schedules. Off-airport corporate offices typically run 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Mon-Fri, 8:00 AM to noon Saturday, with most closed Sunday. Customer service: 1-800-654-3131.

Hertz is the second-largest US car rental chain (after Enterprise Rent-A-Car) with about 3,000 corporate-owned US locations and 1,600 franchised neighborhood offices (plus about 10,400 total worldwide locations across 160 countries), publicly traded on NYSE under ticker HTZ since the June 2021 IPO that followed the COVID-era Chapter 11 bankruptcy emergence, headquartered in Estero Florida (after relocating from Park Ridge New Jersey in 2013), and historically significant as the first US car rental operation (founded 1918 in Chicago by Walter L. Jacobs with 12 Model T cars; renamed Hertz after John Hertz acquired the business in 1923).

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Hertz open today, when does the airport location close, are they open Sunday or Saturday, are they open on Christmas and New Year’s, how the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program works, and where the nearest Hertz is located.

One Hertz specific thing worth knowing: hours vary dramatically by location type. Airport major-hub locations (LAX, JFK, ATL, ORD, DFW, MIA, and other large airports) often run 24 hours or 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM matching flight schedules; off-airport corporate offices typically run 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday with reduced 8:00 AM to noon Saturday hours and most closed Sunday entirely; franchised neighborhood Hertz offices vary widely by independent operator. Sister brands Dollar Rent A Car and Thrifty Car Rental (both under the Hertz Global Holdings parent since the 2012 Dollar Thrifty merger) operate at the same airports but under separate brand counters, separate websites, and sometimes longer or shorter hours than the Hertz brand counter. Direct competitor Avis (and sister brand Budget Rent A Car under Avis Budget Group) operates the same airport hubs and off-airport offices with comparable hours-by-location-type variability.

Saturday hours at Hertz vary dramatically by location type. Airport major-hub Hertz counters run regular Saturday hours (often the same 24-hour or 5am-1am window as weekdays). Off-airport corporate Hertz offices typically run a 4-hour Saturday window (8:00 AM to noon) much shorter than weekdays.

What time does Hertz close?

Off-airport corporate offices typically close 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, noon Saturday, and are closed Sunday entirely. Franchised neighborhood offices vary by operator (typical 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM weekday close). Confirm specific closing time at your store via the locator below.

Is Hertz open on Sunday?

It depends on the location. Airport Hertz counters are open Sunday at most major airports (often with regular Sunday hours that match weekday hours at major hubs). Off-airport corporate Hertz offices are typically closed Sunday entirely. Franchised neighborhood offices vary; some are open Sunday with reduced hours, most are closed. The locator below indicates Sunday hours for each specific Hertz location.

Is Hertz open 24 hours?

Yes, at major-airport major-hub locations. The largest US airport Hertz counters (LAX, JFK, ATL, ORD, DFW, MIA, IAD, SFO, DEN, PHX, LAS, BOS, SEA, etc.) typically run 24 hours to match continuous flight arrival schedules. Other airport locations run extended hours like 5:00 AM to 1:00 AM but are not 24-hour. Off-airport offices are not 24-hour at any location. Confirm 24-hour status at your specific Hertz before late-night pickup or drop-off.

How does after-hours drop-off work at Hertz?

Most off-airport Hertz locations support after-hours drop-off through key-drop boxes outside the office. Customers leave the keys in the secure drop box and the rental closes when the office reopens the next business day. Airport major-hub locations run continuous return hours (24-hour at major airports) so after-hours drop-off is not needed. Confirm after-hours drop-off availability at your specific Hertz before relying on it; some smaller franchised offices do not have key-drop boxes. Late-return fees may apply if return is more than the contract end time even with after-hours drop-off.

Is Hertz open on Christmas Day?

Airport Hertz counters at major hubs run reduced Christmas Day hours (typical 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM or 5:00 AM to noon depending on airport's flight schedule). Off-airport corporate Hertz offices are typically closed entirely on Christmas Day. Franchised neighborhood offices vary; most are closed. Confirm Christmas Day hours at your specific location before pickup or drop-off.

Is Hertz open on Thanksgiving?

Airport Hertz counters at major hubs run reduced Thanksgiving Day hours. Off-airport corporate offices are typically closed entirely on Thanksgiving. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving (the day before) is the single busiest rental pickup day of the year for the chain; the Sunday after Thanksgiving is one of the heaviest return days. Day-After-Thanksgiving (Black Friday) reopens with full hours at most off-airport offices.

How does Hertz Gold Plus Rewards work?

Hertz Gold Plus Rewards is the free Hertz customer loyalty program. Members earn points on rentals (typically 1 point per qualifying dollar; 500-point minimum threshold for free-day redemption), skip the counter at participating airport locations (Gold Plus Rewards Express checkout where the assigned car is shown on a digital board and the member walks straight to the car), get last-minute car upgrades when available, and access discounted weekly and monthly rental rates. Higher tiers (Five Star, President's Circle) add additional benefits. Sign-up is free at hertz.com or any Hertz location.

What is the difference between Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty?

All three are car rental brands operated by Hertz Global Holdings (NYSE: HTZ), the parent that acquired Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group in November 2012. Hertz is the premium-positioned brand (newest fleet, broadest vehicle selection, full Gold Plus Rewards integration). Dollar Rent A Car is the mid-tier brand (slightly older fleet, value-priced compared to Hertz). Thrifty Car Rental is the value-tier brand (oldest fleet of the three, lowest typical rates). At airports the three brands often share back-end operations and a common car lot but operate separate counters, separate reservations, and separate websites. Loyalty programs are NOT cross-redeemable between Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty.

How do airport vs off-airport Hertz locations differ?

Airport Hertz locations are at the airport itself (counter inside the terminal or shuttle to the rental-car center) with extended hours (often 24-hour at major hubs), broader vehicle selection, premium fleet rotation, and airport concession recovery fees and surcharges built into the rental price. Off-airport corporate Hertz offices are in business districts or suburban locations with shorter hours (typically 7:30am-6pm Mon-Fri, 8am-noon Saturday, closed Sunday), narrower vehicle selection, and significantly lower base rates without airport concession fees. For multi-day rentals away from immediate airport return, off-airport pickup can save $50 to $200 versus airport pickup. Some off-airport locations offer free shuttle pickup from nearby airports.

Where are Hertz locations?

Hertz operates about 3,000 corporate-owned US locations and 1,600 franchised offices, plus about 10,400 total worldwide locations in 160 countries. In the US, Hertz has counters at virtually every major airport plus off-airport offices in major business districts, hotels, and suburban markets. The locator at hertz.com lists all locations with current hours, fleet availability, after-hours drop-off support, and shuttle service for nearby airport pickup.

What is the Hertz customer service phone number?

Hertz US customer service is 1-800-654-3131 for reservations, billing questions, Gold Plus Rewards account support, late return reporting, lost-and-found, and corporate matters. The international customer service number is 1-405-749-4424 (toll call from US). Each Hertz location has its own local store phone listed in the locator below; for location-specific questions (current vehicle availability, after-hours drop-off, shuttle pickup time) calling the local Hertz directly is faster than the corporate line.
