Hertz to Offer Mercedes Rental Vehicles as Part of Prestige Collection
Jul 02, 2009 - 12:09 PM - by Administrator

For several years now Hertz has offered a 'Prestige Collection' of high-end vehicles to rent including models from brands like Lincoln and Cadillac. The rental car company has now decided to take it up a notch by offering two vehicles from those German luxury experts at Mercedes-Benz.

Both the new C-Class and GLK350 will joint the Prestige Collection alongside models from Audi, Infiniti, Lincoln, Cadillac and Volvo.

The reason for the delay as reported in Auto Motor und Sport to be a cost issue, related to both development and marketing.

As development seems to have pushed ahead, it is still possible that the marketing (and, therefore, the launch) of the car will wait until next Spring - perfect timing for a convertible.

The E-Class Convertible, which is based on the C-Class chassis, is expected to make use of a... [Read More]
