If you have  Nectar card and need to hire a van or a car, you might want to check whether there is a Hertz van rental branch in your area.

Unlike other van hire companies, Hertz is part of the Nectar reward scheme and you can collect Nectar points on all Hertz vehicle rentals.

Rent a car or van through Hertz between now and the 31st January 2011, you will get triple points: 6 points for every £1 spent (rentals must be completed before 31st January 2011).

Outside this offer period, the normal rate is 2 points per £1 spent.

Here’s how to claim your Nectar points when booking online with Hertz:

1. If you have a Promotional Code bonus points voucher for Hertz, enter the six digit PC code into the ‘Promotional Code’ field of the booking form when making your booking.
2. If you do not have a Promotional Code, don’t worry – you can still collect points.
3. When you reach the ‘Review & Book’ stage of the booking process, select Nectar from the Frequent Traveller/Loyalty drop down list. You should then enter the last 11 digits of your Nectar card number into the Frequent Traveller/Loyalty card number field, without any spaces. You must do this regardless of whether you are using a bonus points voucher.

Once your rental has been completed (i.e. you have returned the car or van), your points will be added onto your card within 28 days.
