The University of California (UC) has a new contract with Hertz that went into effect on July 1, 2023. While the rates are still incredibly competitive, the daily rate will increase by an average of $2. All reservations made prior to July 1 have been updated to reflect the new rates. This change will be more noticeable by those who have reserved larger vehicles such as minivans/SUVs or specialty/premium cars.

What has not changed:

• Unlimited mileage within California (and now New Jersey as well)
• One-way rentals within California for no drop-off fees

Reminder: While UC faculty and staff can use the contracted rates for personal travel, the insurance will not apply. As a result, reservations for personal should be made using specific links in the travel portal, instead of through the UC-preferred agencies.
