About renting a car with Hertz in Fort Worth

Hertz operates out of the consolidated Rental Car Center at 2424 E. 38th Street, reached via a free shuttle that departs every 10 to 15 minutes from the lower level of each DFW terminal — budget roughly 25 minutes from baggage claim to counter. The facility is open daily from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM; after-hours returns are handled through a key drop box with designated parking, so late-night arrivals can still complete a drop-off. The Dallas/Fort Worth area runs on all-electronic tollways with no cash lanes, so plan ahead: Hertz offers PlatePass, a daily toll package that covers unlimited cashless toll usage — without it, any toll road use is billed at the highest undiscounted rate plus a per-transaction convenience fee. Fuel in the Fort Worth area averages around US$3.87 per gallon; return the tank to its pickup level to avoid Hertz's fuel service charge, which runs well above pump price. At pickup, Hertz requires a credit card in the primary driver's name, and the deposit hold is typically around US$200, though the amount can vary by vehicle class. Drivers whose license uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic, for example — should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their national license, as the IDP alone is not sufficient to complete the rental.

All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected Hertz rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Fort Worth.

Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Fort Worth when I book through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Fort Worth are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Hertz counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Hertz counter in Fort Worth charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Hertz to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

  • Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
  • Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)
Where is the Hertz counter at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport?

The Hertz counter at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW) is located at 251 American Concourse, inside the terminal. No shuttle is required; after collecting your baggage, follow the signs to the on-site counter.

Counter hours at this Fort Worth location are 06:00 to 22:00 daily, seven days a week. Plan your arrival accordingly, as pickups outside those hours are not available at this facility.

From arrival to driving away, expect roughly 15 to 30 minutes, assuming you arrive during open hours and the counter queue is short. Bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, your driver's license, and your passport or government-issued photo ID.

How do I get to the Hertz counter at Fort Worth DFW Airport from the terminal?

If you are flying into Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and picking up a Hertz vehicle, the rental counter is not inside the terminal. All rental companies at DFW, including Hertz, operate from the consolidated Rental Car Center (RCC).

To reach the Hertz counter at the Fort Worth area's main hub:

  • Exit your arrival terminal to the upper-level curb and follow signs for the Rental Car Shuttle.
  • Board the free purple Rental Car Shuttle, which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with departures every 8 to 15 minutes.
  • The shuttle ride to the RCC takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once at the RCC, follow signs to the Hertz counter.

From the moment you leave the terminal, Budget 30 to 60 minutes total to account for the shuttle wait, the ride, counter queue, and vehicle inspection. Real-time shuttle tracking is available through the DFW airport app and website. The return shuttle from the RCC to your departure terminal also runs 24/7 from the upper-level curb, organized by terminal letter.

What are the Hertz downtown Fort Worth location hours?

Hertz has two downtown Fort Worth locations with the following hours:

  • 917 Taylor St, Fort Worth, TX 76102: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 18:00, Saturday 09:00 to 12:00, closed Sunday.
  • 8442 Camp Bowie West Blvd, Fort Worth, TX: Monday to Friday 07:30 to 18:00, Saturday 09:00 to 12:00, closed Sunday.

The 917 Taylor St location is the most frequently used downtown Hertz option in Fort Worth. Neither downtown location offers Sunday hours or after-hours pickup, so if your travel schedule requires a Sunday pickup or an early morning start, the Hertz counter at Fort Worth Meacham Airport (FTW), open daily from 06:00 to 22:00, may be a better fit.

Always confirm hours directly with the Hertz location before your trip, as hours can change on public holidays.

How do toll roads work for a Hertz rental car in Fort Worth?

Fort Worth and the wider Dallas/Fort Worth metro area have an extensive cashless toll network. Cash booths are rare or nonexistent on most routes. The main systems you will encounter include the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) with TollTag, TEXpress Lanes on routes such as the North Tarrant Express, and TxDOT's TxTag system.

Your Hertz rental vehicle in Fort Worth will already have an electronic toll device installed, either a transponder or a plate-based billing system. At the Hertz counter you will be offered two options:

  • Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate, typically US$11 to US$25 per rental day, covering all tolls during the rental period.
  • Pay per use: you drive through tolls normally, and Hertz charges you the actual toll amounts plus daily or administrative processing fees after the rental ends. These charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.

If you plan to drive only one or two toll segments, pay-per-use may cost less. If you will be driving frequently on Fort Worth and Dallas metro toll roads, the unlimited package is usually better value. Texas has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so the only road fees to plan for are standard tolls.

What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz car in Fort Worth?

When collecting your Hertz vehicle in Fort Worth, bring the following physical documents. Digital copies are not accepted at the counter.

  • Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name.
  • An International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. For licenses in Latin-alphabet languages, an IDP is recommended but not strictly mandatory.
  • A physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the hold.
  • Your passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
  • Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad.

At the Hertz Fort Worth counter, verify that all names match across your license, passport, and credit card. If you are adding an additional driver, that person must also be present with their own valid license and ID.

Does Hola Car Rentals offer toll cashback for Hertz rentals in Fort Worth?

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Hertz rentals in Fort Worth, include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental.

Given that Fort Worth and the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area rely heavily on cashless toll roads such as the NTTA network and TEXpress Lanes, this benefit can offset a meaningful portion of your toll costs.

To claim your cashback:

  • Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.
  • Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number.
  • Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the Hertz rental agreement signed at pickup, and a toll invoice or statement showing charges paid during the rental period.

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

Is a credit card required to pick up a Hertz rental in Fort Worth?

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required to pick up your Hertz rental in Fort Worth. The card must have the driver's name printed on it and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

For standard vehicles at U.S. locations, including Fort Worth, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by Hertz at the counter and may be higher for premium or larger vehicle classes.

Important points to keep in mind:

  • Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold.
  • Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted; you must present the physical card.
  • The hold reduces your available credit until Hertz releases it after you return the vehicle. Your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.
  • Even if you prepaid your booking, you must still present a physical credit card at the Hertz Fort Worth counter.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz reservation in Fort Worth?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Fort Worth, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states additional driver included or additional driver free of charge, the first extra driver is covered at no extra cost. If it is not included, Hertz charges US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Fort Worth Hertz counter:

  • The additional driver must be present at pickup with their own valid driver's license.
  • If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit.
  • Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.
  • The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements. In Texas, drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young-renter surcharge.

Only drivers listed on the Hertz rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle.

Are there speed cameras or red light cameras on Fort Worth roads that could affect my Hertz rental?

No, Fort Worth does not use red light cameras or speed cameras to issue tickets to drivers. Texas banned automated photo enforcement statewide in 2019, and Fort Worth follows that ban. This means you will not receive a mailed fine from a camera for speeding or running a red light anywhere in the city.

Speed enforcement in Fort Worth relies on officer patrols rather than automated systems. TxDOT does operate live traffic cameras on major routes such as I-35W, but these are used for monitoring traffic flow, not for issuing fines.

Fort Worth does use over 200 license plate reader cameras for crime tracking purposes, but these do not generate speeding or traffic violation tickets for rental car drivers.

For your Hertz rental in Fort Worth, the practical takeaway is that highway patrol officers are the primary enforcement presence, particularly on construction-heavy corridors like I-35W and Loop 820 during summer months. Drive within posted speed limits and follow all traffic signals, as officer-issued citations are real and can result in fines that may be billed to you through Hertz after the rental ends.

Can I pick up a Hertz car in Fort Worth and return it in another city?

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in Fort Worth, allowing you to pick up at one location and return the vehicle in a different city. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the cities involved, the distance, the vehicle class, and the season. It is not a mileage charge or a fuel charge; it is a separate repositioning fee set by Hertz.

How to check if a drop-off fee applies to your Fort Worth Hertz booking:

  • During the search and checkout process, select your different return location. The system will display any applicable drop-off fee under the To pay at destination section.
  • Review your booking confirmation, which will also list the fee if one applies.
  • At the Hertz Fort Worth counter, verify the fee matches what your confirmation shows.

If the counter charges a different amount than what appeared on your confirmation, complete the pickup, keep all paperwork, and contact support. The No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply if the fee was not disclosed during booking.

Cross-border one-way rentals, such as driving from Fort Worth into Mexico, are generally restricted or require prior authorization from Hertz.

What is the minimum age to rent a Hertz car in Fort Worth?

The minimum age to rent a Hertz vehicle in Fort Worth without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter fee at the Hertz counter.

Key age rules for Hertz rentals in Fort Worth:

  • Drivers 25 and older: no age surcharge applies.
  • Drivers 21 to 24: a young-renter surcharge applies daily. The fee is set by Hertz at the counter and varies by location and vehicle class.
  • Drivers under 21: generally not eligible to rent at Fort Worth Hertz locations.

Vehicle class restrictions also apply to under-25 renters. Categories such as full-size SUVs, premium, luxury, convertibles, minivans, and vans are typically restricted to drivers aged 25 and older. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are usually available to younger renters.

All drivers, regardless of age, must present a valid driver's license, a physical major credit card in their name for the deposit, and any required International Driving Permit if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet.

What insurance coverage is included in a Hertz rental in Fort Worth?

The insurance and protection options included in your Hertz rental in Fort Worth depend on the rate plan you selected when booking. Review your booking confirmation carefully to see what is listed.

Common coverages to understand:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
  • Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Hertz vehicle in Fort Worth. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

CDW/LDW and third-party liability are separate protections. Having one does not replace the other. At the Hertz Fort Worth counter, review the rental agreement to confirm which coverages are active and what deductibles or limits apply before signing.

Optional add-ons such as personal accident insurance, personal effects coverage, and prepaid fuel are not included unless you specifically select them.

Is travel assistance included with a Hertz booking in Fort Worth?

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Hertz rentals in Fort Worth, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly relevant if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving Fort Worth's highway network, which includes complex interchanges such as I-30 and Highway 121 and the frequently congested I-35W corridor.

Coverage typically includes:

  • Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
  • Legal assistance in the event of an accident.
  • Compensation for baggage lost by the airline.
  • Flight cancellation insurance.

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Hertz rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
