LONDON - June 26, 2015: The Hertz Corporation is the first car rental company to offer the all-new Volvo XC90 for rent in the UK, enabling its customers to enjoy a superior experience on the road. Currently available from Hertz's branches at London Marble Arch, Heathrow Airport and Edinburgh Airport, the premium seven seat SUV becomes the Hero Model of the Hertz UK's exclusive Prestige Collection. This unique range of luxurious vehicles is backed by Hertz's Make and Model guarantee that ensures customers drive away the exact car they booked.

"Adding the all-new Volvo XC90 to our fleet reflects our aim to always offer our customers the best vehicles in the market," said Neil Cunningham, General Manager, Hertz UK. "Our motorist enthusiast customers will surely be delighted to be among the first to access the outstanding performance, in-car features and Scandinavian design that characterize the all-new XC90. The Hero Model of our Prestige Collection, the all-new XC90 perfectly represents the luxury, high levels of comfort, elegance and performance embodied by the Volvo range. Whether you need a stylish car for business, a special occasion or a road trip with the family, this Volvo masterpiece is the right choice," continued Cunningham.




The all-new Volvo XC90 features a combination of power, fuel efficiency and sleek interior and exterior design. The model incorporates Volvo's own range of smarter and intuitive new technologies and innovations. This includes the in-car touchscreen control system Sensus, encompassing information, entertainment, and connectivity, and IntelliSafe, a set of safety related features, designed to protect those inside and outside the vehicle. IntelliSafe's components include front collision warning with auto-brake and cyclist detection, world-first run-off-road protection and auto brake at junction technologies, amongst many others. In addition, the new seven-seat vehicle boasts high levels of comfort and performance with low CO2 emissions and innovatively designed ergonomic seats.

Hertz UK offers its customers the diesel and automatic Momentum and Inscription variants of the all-new Volvo XC90, catering to travellers' different needs. The Momentum is ideal for families seeking comfort and safety without compromising on design and luxury craftsmanship, whilst the Inscription has a more luxurious look and feel, ideal for that special occasion.

The all-new Volvo XC90 is also available to rent with Hertz from selected locations across Sweden. Additionally, Hertz's customers will shortly be able to rent the vehicle in Germany. The minimum driving age for the all-new Volvo XC90 is 25 years old. Customers need to show two credit cards to rent the vehicle.
