Michel Taride, President, Hertz International and Executive Vice President, Hertz Corporation, said: "At Hertz, we understand the ever-changing needs and requirements of our customers. With professional and personal plans constantly changing, often at the last minute, we want to ensure that our customers drive away in the car that is most suited to them at that moment in time. Gold Choice gives our customers the peace of mind that the car category they booked will be waiting for them, while allowing them to choose an alternative make and model should they wish."

For customers who wish to upgrade their car, there will also be a Gold Choice upgrade section with specialty and premium cars available at an additional per day charge.

In addition to Germany and the UK, Gold Choice is available at more than 30 airport locations in the U.S.
