AirTran Airways renews partnership with Hertz Corporation

AirTran Airways announced that the airline has inked a new agreement with The Hertz Corporation, a subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. The three-year agreement calls for Hertz to be the car rental company for AirTran Airways web site, call centers, inflight magazine, and onboard seatbacks.

 

In addition, the agreement allows members of AirTran Airways' frequent flier program, A+ Rewards, to earn credits for travel when renting from Hertz.

Through the partnership, A+ Rewards members earn a half credit in the airline's frequent flier program for qualifying Hertz rentals of up to four days, or, exclusive to AirTran Airways, qualifying car rentals of five days or more earn one full credit towards a free flight. To earn credits, AirTran Airways frequent fliers must provide their A+ Rewards number when making a Hertz reservation.

Tad Hutcheson, vice president of marketing and sales for AirTran Airways said, "AirTran Airways partners with the best brands, and Hertz, a quality organization we hold in high regard, is clearly the leader in the car rental business. Through this agreement, AirTran Airways has the ability to offer Hertz cars in all of our locations to our loyal customers, and our A+ Rewards members will continue to have an opportunity to earn credits while renting from Hertz."
