Having been investing in a long list of new UK projects of late, car rental firm, Hertz, have announced that they will offer a full car rental service at London Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal. Giving travellers a long list of new car hire options, the aim here is to rid of the headaches traditionally involved in car hire.

The new service will mean Hertz customers travelling to or from the airport’s North Terminal will be able to collect and return the hire car to their very new branch, situated in the Sofitel London Gatwick hotel. While they already had a base at the airport, travellers will no longer have to take the inter-terminal shuttle to the South Terminal.

Rafael Girona, vice president North Europe, Hertz, said:

“The opening of our new branch at Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal represents an important milestone in our UK expansion. Hertz is now the only car rental provider to have vehicles as well as a desk at the North Terminal. This advantage means that Hertz customers do not need to travel between terminals to collect their car.”

“With some of the most important European and US airlines flying to and from the North Terminal, we trust our new branch will be welcomed by travellers who need to hit the road quickly.”

While giving this partnership a great promotional push, the business has also set up deals with several airlines, including Air France and Cathay Pacific.
