Utrecht, 11 September 2023 - Car rental company Hertz will open a new branch in Utrecht in cooperation with Royal Jaarbeurs: Hertz Utrecht Jaarbeurs. The branch is located in the entrance area of Jaarbeurs 's Beurs- en congresgebouw within walking distance of Utrecht Centraal.
Jeroen van Hooff, CEO Royal Jaarbeurs: "Jaarbeurs was established in Utrecht over 105 years ago to promote trade and industry. Now more than 105 years later, this ideal still forms the foundation of Jaarbeurs. I am delighted that a great company like Hertz chooses to open a branch at Jaarbeurs in a strategic location, near the central station. Renting a car, combined with travelling by train, can be a good sustainable alternative to having your own car. On top of that, Hertz has one of the largest electric rental fleets in Europe. This is in line with our path to CO2 neutrality and fits in with Jaarbeurs 's strategy and ambition to become Europe's most sustainable organiser and facilitator."
"In the past, Hertz was located at Jaarbeursplein. Due to a redevelopment of the square, we had to move to another location in 2011. It had been a desire for us for some time to return to this strategic location opposite Central Station. Around Jaarbeurs, a new residential district is being built: Beurskwartier. This district is aimed at residents who prefer walking, cycling, public transport and shared car use to car ownership. Driving a rented or shared car is a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. Hertz continuously invests in expanding its electric fleet. For Hertz, the purchases of electric cars are an important element in making the company more sustainable" adds Eric Siewers, General Manager of Hertz Benelux.
Hertz Utrecht Jaarbeurs will be open from 11 September 2023.
