Cars maintained from day one

Hertz Certified vehicles are carefully selected from our rental fleet. All meet rigorous standards and undergo an extensive, 115-point pre-delivery inspection.

115 reasons to buy

Our 115-point inspection covers the entire vehicle; inside, outside, under the hood, and more. First, a vehicle history report is run to check for any outstanding service recalls. Then we perform a road test and check more than two dozen performance items, like transmission operation. Safety items, like brake pad wear, tire tread wear, and seat belt condition and operation, are also reviewed. Next up is the vehicle's frame, underbody, engine components, and other mechanicals. Lastly, a sweep of exterior and interior items is performed. With a satisfactory rating achieved for each of the 115 points, the vehicle officially earns the title of Hertz Certified.

Backed by a warranty and guarantee

The Hertz Certified program is designed to give you confidence in making a used car buying decision. That's because a Hertz Certified vehicle comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty1; that's on top of any remaining factory new vehicle warranty coverage. The limited warranty delivers added value by including travel breakdown protection, rental car coverage, and roadside assistance. What's more, our buy back guarantee gives you 7 days/250 miles2 after purchase to make sure your certified vehicle is right for you.

Hertz Certified Frequently Asked Questions


General

Click here to find the location closest to you.

The vehicles sold at Hertz Car Sales locations come from different sources. The majority of vehicles are late models which have been carefully selected from either the rental fleet of the Hertz Corporations ("Hertz") or other Hertz companies, such as: Dollar Rent-a-Car, Thrifty Rental, Donlen, or Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation. Some of the vehicles have been traded-in by Hertz Car Sales customers; others have been purchased from a variety of sources, such as dealers, private sellers, and auctions. While Hertz works hard to procure quality vehicles, Hertz may not be aware of the vehicle's full history. Nonetheless, only the vehicles that meet Hertz quality standards make it to the Hertz Car Sales inventory.

A safety recall occurs when a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finds that a defect that could affect the safety or operation of a vehicle may exist in a specific vehicle or series of vehicles. The manufacturer notifies its authorized dealers, repair facilities, and the registered vehicle owners of the condition or defect so that the registered owners can take the vehicle to the authorized dealer or repair facility for diagnosis and repair.
