Are you ready to unlock more rewards from your travels?
Linking your Marriott Bonvoy and Hertz accounts is a fantastic way to maximize your points and enjoy elite-level perks. Whether you're a frequent traveler or just planning your next getaway, this partnership can add significant value to your journeys.
This guide will walk you through the process, step by step, so you can start earning and enjoying the benefits right away.
Step 1: Confirm Your Eligibility and Understand the Benefits
Before you begin the process, it's crucial to understand what you're getting and what you need. The partnership between Marriott Bonvoy and Hertz is designed to reward loyalty, and the benefits you receive depend on your Marriott Bonvoy Elite status.
This is where you'll get the most out of your loyalty!
Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Elite members get complimentary Hertz Gold Plus Rewards President's Circle® status. This is the top tier of Hertz's loyalty program, offering guaranteed car-class upgrades, a 50% bonus on points, and more.
Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite members receive complimentary Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Five Star® status. This tier provides a one-car-class upgrade, a 25% bonus on points, and a wider selection of cars.
Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite members are offered a fast track to Hertz Gold Plus Rewards Five Star® status. This means you only need to complete seven rentals in a 12-month period to earn the status, instead of the usual ten.
Even if you don't have elite status, simply being a Marriott Bonvoy member allows you to earn points on qualifying Hertz rentals worldwide. That's a great way to boost your points balance!

Step 2: Join Both Loyalty Programs
To link your accounts, you must first be a member of both Marriott Bonvoy and Hertz Gold Plus Rewards. If you haven't already, take a moment to join these programs.

Sub-heading: Joining Hertz Gold Plus Rewards
Joining Hertz Gold Plus Rewards is free and easy. Simply visit the Hertz website and sign up. Being a member allows you to skip the counter at many locations, choose your car, and earn points toward free rental days.
Sub-heading: Joining Marriott Bonvoy
Similarly, if you're not already a member, you can sign up for Marriott Bonvoy on the Marriott website. This program gives you access to member-only rates, free Wi-Fi, and the ability to earn points on stays at thousands of properties around the world.
Step 3: Register for the Status Match Offer
This is the key step for elite members to unlock their elevated Hertz status. The status match is not automatic, and you must register to receive your upgraded benefits.
Locate the Registration Page: Find the specific registration page for the Hertz and Marriott Bonvoy status match offer. This is usually found on the Hertz website's partnership section with Marriott Bonvoy.
Provide Your Information: You will be asked to enter your Marriott Bonvoy member number, First Name, and Last Name exactly as they appear on your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards account. It's crucial that this information matches to ensure a successful link.
Submit Your Request: Once you have filled in all the required details, submit the form. Your information will be validated, and if you are eligible, your Hertz status will be elevated.
Don't forget: If your Marriott Bonvoy number has fewer than nine digits, you'll need to add leading zeros to make it a nine-digit number. Similarly, if your Hertz Gold Plus Rewards number is not eight digits, add leading zeros to make it eight digits.
Step 4: Start Earning Points on Your Rentals
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
With your accounts linked and your status elevated (if applicable), you can now start enjoying the benefits. To earn Marriott Bonvoy points on your Hertz rentals, you simply need to take one important action.
Add Your Marriott Bonvoy Number to Your Reservation: When you book a qualifying Hertz rental, be sure to provide your Marriott Bonvoy number. This is how the systems communicate and ensure you get the points you deserve. You can do this online during the booking process or by providing it at the Hertz counter.
Be Patient: After your rental, it can take up to six weeks for the points to be posted to your Marriott Bonvoy account. If you don't see them after this period, you can contact Marriott or Hertz customer service for assistance.
