To make a modification in your reservation, click on the “Modify / Cancel” tab, found in the reservation box in the homepage and insert the reservation’s reference number (e.g. ABCD01012001) and the driver’s surname.

Please note that changes to the reservation are subject to a recalculation of the reservation’s cost, based on the availability and prices at the time the change is made.

For on-request reservations, you can only modify the drop off/pick-up location assuming the change concerns a location in the same city.

You cannot modify the selected vehicle category or the driver’s or credit card’s data. For these cases please cancel the reservation and make a new one. Please note that this may be subject to cancellation fees.

What happens if I do not show up on the specified pick-up date and time? Is there a charge?

In case you do not show-up on the pick-up time that you provided during your reservation, with no prior written notification, Hertz has the right to cancel your booking after the end of a 29 minutes grace period and charge a no-show fee.

For prepaid reservations, your card will be refunded the amount of the reservation deducted by the no-show fee, of € 40 plus VAT.

For pay at location reservations, your card will be charged the amount of €30 plus VAT.

In both cases, the refund will be completed within two (2) working days.

No. In order to pick up the reserved vehicle, the card holder must present the card under which the reservation was made. The card holder will appear as the driver on the rental agreement.

What is Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode?

Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode is an additional security layer based on the 3D Secure protocol aiming to reduce the risk of unauthorized card use, by certifying the cardholder when conducting an online transaction through filling in the personal security password you entered during your card registration process. The service is provided to the cardholder by the issuing bank in cooperation with the respective financial institution (Visa or Mastercard).

If your cards issuer is enrolled to provide the service, then after completing your personal and card data you will be asked to fill in your password you have provided during the activation of the service.
