Taxes, title/registration fees and documentation fees vary from state to state. Taxes and title/registration fees may also vary depending upon your location and will be estimated at the time of sale. When the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state reviews the documentation, they will determine a final amount for fees and taxes. If you paid more than the amount due, the excess will be refunded to you. If you paid less than the amount due, you will be responsible for the difference. Documentation fees are included in the advertised price in all states and will not be an additional charge.

The following are the documentation fees that are included in the advertised price:

At select locations, up to $3,000 of the down payment may be charged to a credit or debit card.

• Remaining balance must be paid via financing, certified check, or wire transfer
• Bank draft checks are not accepted

Your down payment is due at the time you complete the purchase and finalize financing.

On most test rentals, the minimum age is 25 without an additional Age Differential Charge, and 21 with an additional Age Differential Charge.

Hertz will test rent selected car class vehicles (Prestige Collection and high‑performance cars such as Corvettes and Shelby Mustangs excluded) to customers who are age 21–24 with an Age Differential Charge, in addition to the normal rental rate.

Most car classes will require a $15 per day surcharge, while higher‑end cars may require a $25 per day surcharge. See the counter representative for details.

Various corporate accounts have agreements with Hertz which permit employees ages 21–24 to rent for business purposes. Hertz Rent2Buy® will honor these age exceptions if you test rent a vehicle. Renters must present a valid Corporate Identification Card at the time of test rental and additional fees may apply. Please contact your company travel department to verify age exceptions when test renting a vehicle.

A cleaning and recertification fee of $200 will be deducted (unless prohibited by law), as well as any excess wear or damage to the vehicle. It's all a part of the Hertz Buy Back Guarantee.

Many purchases include a 7‑day / 250‑mile Buy Back Guarantee. Terms vary by transaction.
