Rental company Hertz has announced an expansion to its line of vehicles by
teaming up with Jeep to add a dedicated collection of Jeep Wrangler 4xe to its
newest fleet.
The Jeep Wrangler hybrid will be available sometime in May
in major cities across the U.S. Hertz says it is also giving customers a fun
look under the hood at the unique Jeep driver culture (what is up with the
ducks?) with surprise offers.
As a bonus, all Jeep models this summer will be
10 percent off.
“We are thrilled to add the Jeep Wrangler 4xe to our
expansive lineup of new cars, trucks and SUVs for
rent at Hertz and give customers a taste of what’s it like to be a Wrangler
owner,” said Henry Kuykendall, Hertz Executive Vice President of North American
Operations in a statement.
He added, “The Jeep Wrangler is iconic and always in high
demand for the summer. With the perfect blend of ruggedness and the latest tech
features, the 4xe models are sure to delight those who are seeking ultimate
freedom and adventure in their travels.”
Hertz will also give Wrangler 4xe drivers the opportunity to
learn about and participate in the Jeep brand’s unique culture, including:
- The Jeep Wave: A friendly gesture for
Jeep Wrangler drivers to acknowledge each other on the road.
- Jeep Ducking: A tradition where Jeep
Wrangler owners place a rubber duck on another drivers’ Wrangler as a sign of
appreciation for their ride and to spread joy.
- Duck Duck Jeep (Hertz Version): Hertz
lucky duckies (a.k.a. Hertz renters) who find an exclusive Hertz-Jeep rubber
duck in their Jeep Wrangler rental can unlock even more discounts and free
upgrades for future Hertz rentals.
"The Jeep
Wrangler is made for summer. The first hint of warm weather and sunshine means
opening up or removing the top for owners to enjoy the open-air freedom the
Wrangler offers," said Lucy McLellan, Head of North America Marketing
Office.
She added, "Our partnership with Hertz gives drivers
who haven’t yet experienced the perks that come with Wrangler-ownership the
opportunity to see for themselves firsthand the joys of driving on the open
road during their summer travels, receiving a ‘Jeep Wave,’ getting ‘ducked’ and
taking part in a community-culture that brings smiles to owners and passers-by
around every corner.”
