NEW YORK and ESTERO, Fla., Dec. 11,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz and CLEAR today announced
the launch of Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR – a new
service that uses biometrics to drastically speed up the car rental
process and get travelers through the exit gate and on the road in
30 seconds or less – a time savings of at least 75
percent.

With CLEAR, members enroll once to enjoy frictionless
experiences with greater predictability at more than 40 airports
and venues nationwide. Now, Hertz Gold Plus
Rewards® loyalty members who sign up for CLEAR and link
their accounts will be able to verify their identity and rental
reservation with just a look or tap of their finger. Hertz
Fast Lane powered by CLEAR marks the first use of biometrics by
a major rental car company, and the first time CLEAR's trusted
identity platform is enabling members to verify their identity
using their face instead of showing a physical
ID.
The first Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR is now
available at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport
(ATL), offering renters unmatched speed and security so they can
enjoy more time doing what they love. Throughout 2019, Hertz
Fast Lane powered by CLEAR will be rolled out to more than 40
additional Hertz locations, including some of the busiest U.S.
airports such as Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and
San Francisco International
Airport (SFO), among others.
"We're excited to introduce Hertz Fast Lane Powered by
CLEAR to get Hertz customers through the exit gate without the
wait and on the road faster," said Hertz CEO Kathryn V. Marinello. "By teaming with CLEAR,
Hertz gets a partner with an expanding footprint and proven track
record to help us innovate the car rental process, improve the
customer experience and bring meaningful benefits to busy
travelers."
Marinello added, "This new innovation demonstrates our focus on
enhancing the entire customer experience. In the last two years,
we've upgraded our fleet with the cars people want to drive,
launched our Ultimate Choice® model in the U.S. enabling
customers to choose their preferred vehicle with no wait, and
improved site operations to deliver great service
consistently."
The new offering further demonstrates Hertz's and CLEAR's deep
commitment to investing in technology and services that enhance
their members' experience – and sets a new standard for
frictionless travel.
"CLEAR believes that you are you, and we're creating a future in
which your fingerprints, eyes and face are your best and most
secure ID," said CLEAR CEO Caryn
Seidman-Becker. "When our members travel, they enjoy
greater speed and predictability at airports and sporting events,
so they can focus more time doing what they love. Thanks to
our new partnership with Hertz, they'll spend less time at the exit
gate and more time enjoying their destination."
Use of Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR is a new benefit
for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® program members, and
membership in CLEAR is available at no additional cost when used in
connection with this program. Members interested in upgrading
their CLEAR membership to include airport security access, will
receive preferred pricing based on their Hertz loyalty status.
