Wheels Up, one of the largest private aviation companies in the world, is partnering with the American car rental company, Hertz, to grant its members exclusive access to Hertz’s abundant electric vehicle offering and premium benefits.
Formerly, Wheels Up has committed to a carbon offset and reduction scheme that allows members to lessen their carbon footprint both on ground and in the air. Wheels Up’s partnership with Hertz therefore expands its sustainability ventures whilst simultaneously supporting seamless first-to-last-mile travel. Members will now have access to the fleet of EV models that Hertz offers, including Tesla and Polestar models.

“Our mission is to serve our members’ needs throughout their entire travel experience, from the moment they leave their home to the moment they return,” said Lee Applbaum, chief marketing officer at Wheels Up. “We’re excited to partner with Hertz in providing best-in-class service and the most advanced electric vehicles on the market as part of our ongoing commitment to building a sustainable future.”
Currently, EV models are available to rent from Hertz at 111 private airports, yet this is forecast to expand to more than 500 within the coming months. Not only will this expansion improve accessibility to electric vehicles, but Wheels Up customers can also access exclusive perks with Hertz.
Members will receive complimentary President’s Circle® top-tier status in the award-winning Hertz Gold Plus Rewards® loyalty program. This is the highest tier of loyalty membership and includes benefits like guaranteed vehicle availability, 50% bonus points and one-car-class upgrades with every rental. The Dream Car Collection is also included, providing members with expedient delivery and pick-up services.
