The Hertz Corporation is scheduled to demonstrate its new web-based portal, the HIRS for Repair Shops, at the 2014 Specialty Equipment Market Association.

The company will also showcase its mobile apps and ExpressRent kiosk. The kiosks allow customers to rent vehicles at airport or neighborhood locations via live face-to-face video.

Hertz will also demonstrate an array of self-service technology and other products at SEMA designed to streamline the rental process, including:

Hertz Local Edition: Hertz's network of neighborhood locations servicing the replacement, leisure and business customers and offering customers pickup and delivery service as well as 'Key2Key' service with cars conveniently located at auto body and collision repair shops, enabling customers to have access to a car while their car is in the shop.

Carfirmation: A mobile email/SMS text service – Mobile Gold Alerts -- that confirms a Gold customer's reservation, advises of their car, and its location at the Hertz facility. Mobile Gold Alerts also shows other available cars and upgrades and lets customers select the one they want – all via their mobile device.

Choose Control: Hertz Gold Choice gives the customer the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose another, something no other car rental brand offers.

Zap Technology: Hertz e-Return is the fastest way to get customers, when they return, back on their way home. Hertz will email the customer's receipt in a flash.

Mobile Apps: As consumers are looking to mobile technologies as a way to take back control of their travel experience, from on-the-go bookings to instant upgrades.

Hertz Mobile App: Book, modify and search car rental reservations, find locations, and browse special deals and offers all from the palm of your hand.
