The Hertz Corp. announced it now has 55 ExpressRent kiosk locations in the New York City, which offer live, interactive and face-to-face communication with rental agents.
The kiosks supplement Hertz's 15 retail store locations for a combined total of 70 Hertz car-rental locations in the city. Hertz plans to expand to more than 100 kiosk locations in early 2014, a news release said.
"Many New Yorkers don't own cars, and there's high demand for easily accessible rental options on short notice. ExpressRent kiosks give customers increased convenience to rent whenever they choose from a location close to their home or workplace," Hertz Chairman and CEO Mark Frissora said in the announcement. "Already rentals booked at Hertz's ExpressRent Kiosks represent more than 10 percent of our New York City transactions. We're expanding this industry-leading innovation to make it even easier for New Yorkers to get the car they want when they want it."
Hertz has expanded the locations of ExpressRent kiosks, totaling more than 725 kiosks in more than 535 airport and off-airport locations in the U.S. and Europe.
