Hertz has opened a new car rental location at the recently launched Etihad Travel Mall in Dubai. The new branch becomes the 20th Hertz location in the UAE.
It is located in Etihad Airways’ one-stop travel retail and check-in facility on Sheikh Zayed Road, where guests can purchase tickets, drop off baggage and board an Etihad Express luxury coach directly from Dubai to Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Michel Taride, President of Hertz International, said: “This latest location in Dubai is symbolic of the seamless connection between Etihad Airways and Hertz, and is one of the many ways we are continuing to work in close partnership with the fastest growing airline in the history of commercial aviation. The new location on Sheikh Zayed Road is within reach for people living and working in many of Dubai’s main commercial and residential towers as well as a number of prime residential areas, and brings Hertz closer to the customer.”
For Etihad Airways guests landing in Abu Dhabi and connecting to Dubai, the branch is within easy reach of the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, three of the city’s top visitor attractions.
Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: “Etihad Travel Mall has received a very positive response from our guests since it opened last April and we are keen to build upon this success. The introduction of a Hertz car rental location will provide even more convenient options for guests and complements the existing retail mix at Etihad Travel Mall, which includes outlets for Etihad Airways and our Etihad Holidays, Hala Abu Dhabi and Hala Travel Management subsidiaries.”
