Photo by Terry McGean. The original was famous not just for serious performance in its day but for tales of cars getting rented just to strip them of parts. The February 2011 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines goes into detail about how roughly these cars were treated, and how they eventually ended up in private hands after retirement from rental se...

The rental company bought 60 copies to revive the Rent-A-Racer program 1985, so we're letting this one on the list as a technicality. Because the SVO only c...

Carroll Shelby and Ford rekindled their relationship in 2003, a new Mustang launched in 2005, and the Shelby name returned to Ford Showrooms a year later. Lining up perfectly for a 40th anniversary, Hertz also brought back the Shelby name with a new GT-H. Both the standard and the rental ...
Same idea a the coupe, same 500-unit production run. Photo courtesy of Ford Motor Company. It's a natural progression to follow up a coupe with a convertible, and that's exactly what Ford and Hertz did here. Aside from the folding roof, the upgrades are mostly the same, as was the identical limited production of 500 copies. The initial prototype wa...
General Motors joined the limited-edition Hertz party in 2008 with this Corvette. It was part of Hertz's "Fun Club" line of sporty rentals, with an initial run of 500. The ZHZ was largely unchanged from the stock Corvette, sporting the same 436 horsepower available from the LS3 V-8 with the optional dual-mode exhaust, with several Hertz cues inside...
Photo via Mecum Auctions. Notice a pattern here? Just like the Shelby, Chevy followed up the following year with a convertible variation on the yellow and black rental special. This time only 375 were built, making it one of the rarest Corvettes ever produced. But that rarity was only good for a used car sale price of $28,000 at Mecum's 2014 Kissim...

This time around Hertz partnered up with Penske Racing, sponsoring a few races with both a Ford Fusion in the Sprint Cup (now Monster Energy) Series and Mustang in the Nationwide (now Xfinitiy) Series. The rental cars were part of Hertz's new "Adrenaline Collection" offerings that included the Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro S...

The 2016 GT-H was based on the stock Mustang GT, not the reborn Shelby GT350, and came with a Ford Performance exhaust and the Ford Racing Handling Pack (lowering springs, stiffer shocks, bigg...
Photo courtesy of Hertz. John D. Hertzdidn't join the operation until 1923, but the company with his name on it started as a small operation by Walter L. Jacobs in 1918, renting out Ford Model Ts. Hertz (the company) was later owned by Ford for several years, but turned to Chevrolet to celebrate its centennial. There's nothing other than the visual...
Photo courtesy of Hertz. Like the Penske Mustang that came before, this pair of Camaros stems from a racing partnership: Hertz sponsors Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron's Chevy. The Camaro SS comes with a cold air intake and exhaust, good enough for a 25-horsepower increase over stock, bumping output to 480 hp. All 200 examples also come w...
He sold the company to John D. Hertz in 1923 but remained a prominent figure in the company until his retirement in 1960. Together, Jacobs and Hertz swiftly turned the small "Rent-a-Ford" company into a well-known brand. In fact, by 1925, Hertz was generating annual revenues of about $1 million.
