GET ON THE ROAD FASTER Travelers who have a CLEAR account can now use it at certain Hertz locations to get on the road faster. This partnership is the first use of biometrics by a major car rental company. Once CLEAR members link their account to their Gold Plus Rewards account, they can scan their fingerprints or use facial recognition in place of physical IDs to check out cars. With the CLEAR option, Hertz Fast Lane promises to get renters through the exit gate in 30 seconds or less. Hertz will introduce Hertz Fast Lane powered by CLEAR at over 40 new locations throughout 2019 including Washington National Airport (DCA) and San Jose International Airport (SJC). Currently you can take advantage of this new option at one of the following locations: ∙ ∙ Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) ∙ ∙ Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) ∙ ∙ Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) ∙ ∙ Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) ∙ ∙ Washington Dulles International (IAD) Elevating the Art of Business Travel 15
