Important Info

What’s included in the Hertz Programme
The Hertz Europe Affiliate programme is designed to drive incremental leisure car and van business via its UK, FR, DE, IT, ES, BE, NL and CH websites. To this extent, Hertz will reward affiliates who generate retail reservations on their prepaid and non-prepaid rates (subject to exclusions below).

 
What’s excluded from the Hertz Programme
Contract/ Corporate Rates (CR) - reservations made by customers on Company contracted rate programmes are not commissionable as these are special, pre-agreed rates between Hertz and selected organisations. As customers associated with these organisations are mandated to rent from Hertz, the rates paid exclude any allowance for marketing cost or referral commission.  Reservations tracking as Contract Rates sales will be rejected and no affiliate commission will be awarded.

Tour Operator/Travel Agent Reservations – where bookings have been booked via a tour operator or on a tour operator rate programme, no commission will be paid by Hertz as it is the Tour Operator that sets the commissions it pays to its affiliates.

Duplicate claims – Hertz will only attribute a referred reservation to one party. Where a reservation referral is being claimed by multiple parties, direct (in-session) referrers will always be credited first. Where there is no direct referrer, cookied sales will be credited to the first click referrer.
Reservations claimed more than 30-days post-click
Reservations that have been cancelled.
Activity on ‘Hertz On Demand’ or ‘Advantage Rent A Car’ are covered by other programmes.

The approval / payment process

As of 1st March 2012, the Hertz programme operates a 60 day pending period in order to manage the large increase in non-qualifying referrals. This will help improve the accuracy of the data reported in the affiliate dashboard as data will only relate to approved referrals.
Hertz wants to have a fair two-way relationship with its affiliates. It will help and reward affiliates who support its aim of driving quality traffic and revenue in an open and honest manner. Affiliates who are found to be undertaking in activities which breach the programme terms, damage the Hertz brand or impact on its aims will be removed and have any earnings from such activities withheld or reclaimed.
