Car rental is a capital-intensive business. Hertz requires a net worth of $500,000 or higher and liquid capital of $150,000 or higher. The actual amounts vary for a variety of reasons, including the specific location, size of the market, the size of your rental fleet and the number of locations. Note that this requirement does not represent the total investment to open and operate the franchise business. Candidates should have good credit and demonstrate an ability to obtain fleet financing.
Hertz does not assist with fleet financing.
The estimated initial investment will vary depending upon a variety of elements, including purchase price for the assets, fleet size, and other factors, all of which will depend upon the particular facts and circumstances related to the location and transaction.
You will be required to pay us an initial license fee which will vary as based on a number of factors, including: (1) potential car fleet size; (2) potential area population growth; (3) potential area economic growth; (4) existing and potential for future growth of hotel accommodations; (5) existing Hertz national account customers located in the area; (6) existing and potential for future growth of local airport passenger traffic; and (7) extent of the recreational or regional markets.
The license fee sustains the substantial benefits and customer base of the Hertz® brand and allows the licensee to operate under the Hertz trademark. This includes innovation, support, and promotion of the Hertz® brand as well as the support provided to franchisees.
