The Hertz Corporation HTZ, the world's largest general use airport car rental brand, today
announced the expansion of its Dream Cars with the introduction of the
all-electric Tesla TSLA Model S in the U.S. With the expansion, consumers in select
markets are now able to rent both the Tesla Model S and Tesla Roadster, along
with a variety of other high-end performance vehicles, from Ferrari to
Lamborghini to Porsche and Mercedes Benz, offered in Hertz's Dream Cars, a
line of ultra-high-end performance vehicles that redefine the premium car
rental experience.
"Customer and industry support for Hertz's Dream Cars has been overwhelming,
so adding the Tesla Model S to the already outstanding fleet was an easy
choice," said Mark P. Frissora, Hertz Chairman and CEO. "The ability to offer
a truly unique driving experience to Hertz customers is a thrill, and the
addition of this vehicle shows the passion we have in offering the best and
most diverse fleet to our customers."
The Tesla Model S will be available in California – at San Francisco and Los
Angeles airports -- and are the 85kWh model, capable of 265 miles on one
charge. The all electric, zero emissions car can go 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds.
The Tesla Model S is the world's first premium sedan built from the ground up
as an electric vehicle. At the heart of Model S is the proven Tesla
powertrain, delivering both unprecedented range and a thrilling drive
experience. With a rigid body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and
a low center of gravity, Model S offers the responsiveness and agility
expected from the world's best sports cars while providing the ride quality of
a luxury performance sedan. The Tesla Model S was named Motor Trend's 2013 Car
of the Year [R] and received Consumer Reports highest score ever given to a
car as well as NHTSA's 5-star safety rating.
