Hertz Partners with Amazon to Sell Used Cars
Hertz has announced the launch of its used car sales on Amazon Autos, starting in four major U.S. cities: Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Seattle. This marks the rental company’s first venture into online vehicle sales, with plans for more locations to follow, reports 24brussels.
The initiative allows customers within a 75-mile radius of the initial cities to browse Hertz’s pre-owned inventory on Amazon Autos starting as early as Wednesday. Hertz aims to expand this service to 45 locations nationwide, increasing accessibility to a broader range of options.
“Now you can conveniently shop our maintained-from-day-one vehicles on the online marketplace of – well – just about everything else,” Hertz stated. Customers can order a vehicle online and pick it up at their nearby Hertz Car Sales center within three days.
Amazon introduced its Autos business in December 2024, initially offering new and certified pre-owned vehicles. The inclusion of Hertz’s inventory represents a significant expansion of this service, which previously only featured select Hyundai models available for purchase directly on the platform.
Hertz’s new partnership with Amazon reflects a growing trend of car rental companies diversifying their business models amidst shifting consumer behaviors. The vehicle selection will include popular makes such as Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, and Nissan, catering to a broad audience of potential buyers.
