Hertz moves into boat rental
Car hire company Hertz has moved into the maritime sector with the launch of ‘Hertz Rent a Boat’.
Launched in the Netherlands in partnership with Boot Amsterdam BV, the new boat rental service will enable customers to explore the waterways of Amsterdam using a variety of vessels, including gondolas, luxury motorboats, taxi boats and open boats, accommodating up to 35 people. Priced are charged by the hour.
Michel Taride, President of Hertz International, commented; “We are excited to now include boats as part of our diverse rental offer. Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and with the canals at its heart there is no better way to explore. Whether renters are looking for a relaxing cruise along the water with an experienced captain or want an adventure as they navigate themselves round the city’s water ways, Rent a Boat is an ideal option.”
Large boats will offer a range of amenities such as kitchens, bars, audio systems, toilets and electricity. Renters also have the option of a private chef, barbeques or catering services.
