Today, Hertz announced the start of its partnership with Amazon Autos to sell some of its high-quality pre-owned vehicles, aiming to make the buying process easier for customers purchasing from its fleet.
Starting today, customers can use Amazon Autos to browse, finance, and buy from thousands of used Hertz fleet vehicles from brands like Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Nissan, and others.
Hertz Car Sales, the rental car company’s used car division, will be Amazon Autos’ first fleet dealer.
Jeff Adams, Executive Vice President of Hertz Car Sales told investors, “Our goal is to reimagine the car-buying experience and meet customers where they are – whether online or in person – with convenience, confidence and scale. Amazon Autos is the ideal partner to help us deliver on this as customers can shop our expansive inventory of high-quality used cars on the same trusted marketplace where millions shop every day.”
Global Head of Amazon Autos, Fan Jin, said, “We’re excited for Hertz Car Sales to join the hundreds of franchised dealers in our store, bringing thousands of additional vehicles for customers to choose from. This collaboration allows us to offer an expanded selection of well-maintained vehicles from more dealerships across the country, while maintaining the simplicity that customers expect from Amazon.”
Following the announcement, Hertz shares rose 9% in premarket trading.
