Breaking it Down

For vehicle pick‑up with Hertz, you would ideally need a valid driving licence and a credit or debit card in the main driver's name. A credit or debit card is generally required for the deposit payment at pick-up. Some locations may also require additional official identification, such as a passport or proof of address. If your driving licence is not from the EU, you may have to present your national driving licence (held for at least a year) and an International driving Permit (IDP).

All documents must be current and in good condition. Check the specific requirements for your pick-up branch before travelling.
