Hertz Rent2Buy will offer thousands of late-model bargains like this Mondeo

CASH-STRAPPED business motorists in search of a late-model bargain can now benefit from a “try-before-you buy” scheme launched today by Hertz, which has come up with a novel way of disposing of cars from its rental fleet.

Hertz Rent2Buy allows potential SME buyers to test drive their chosen vehicle for up to ten days before taking the plunge. If a customer decides to buy, no rental charge applies to the test period – otherwise the rental is charged at a reduced rate.

According to Hertz, many cars will be offered for less than the prices quoted in trade guides.

Hertz says it can afford to do this because of the big discounts it negotiates up front, thanks to its car-buying muscle. All the business cars for sale from Hertz will have been fully serviced, and many will still be under warranty. They will typically have covered between 12,000 and 50,000 miles. Other temptations include Nectar points and discounted financing.

Rui Ferreira, Vice President, Fleet Remarketing for Hertz International, said: “We offer low mileage, high specification vehicles in excellent condition with meticulous maintenance records. Customers have a unique, 10 day test drive option to determine if the vehicle suits their needs and lifestyle. If you’re looking to buy a used car, it’s tough to beat the Hertz Rent2Buy programme.”

Small businesses that are interested in the scheme to buy ex business car lease models can browse detailed information for the cars on offer under the Hertz Rent2Buy programme – which also covers vans from the Hertz fleet – at a dedicated website, www.HertzRent2Buy.co.uk
