Connect by Hertz, Hertz’s global car sharing club, has significantly expanded its presence throughout Manhattan, increasing the number of locations and fleet size more than 10-fold with the addition of more than 420 cars, situated at more than 170 parking locations.

With the increase in fleet, new cars have been added to the company’s roster, including the Toyota Yaris, Mazda 6, Volvo C70 convertible and C30 hatchback, and the Volkswagon Jetta and Beatle.

The cars suitably fit the “Personal,” “Social,” and ‘”JetSet” cars currently available, which include the Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry and Mini Cooper, respectively.

In addition, with more than 170 new parking locations, cars can be found as far south as Wall Street, as far north as West 91st Street, and everywhere in between. To view the locations’ details, visit www.connectbyhertz.com  , click New York City and then click Locations.

Connect by Hertz has also installed a new interactive screenpad in each Connect vehicle, which allows members to extend and/or end their reservation without calling the Company’s Member Care Center. “Connect by Hertz has the most competitive rates in New York City and the most features in the car share market, including an unlimited mileage allowance,” said Mark Frissora, chairman and CEO of Hertz. “We’ve expanded rapidly since our launch in December and will continue to expand globally to provide members with an economical alternative to car ownership wherever they are located.”
