# Hertz

> The Hertz Corporation is a global vehicle rental company operating the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty
> brands across roughly 160 countries from airport and neighbourhood locations. Its products are
> car, van and truck rental, corporate and government rental programmes, rideshare rentals, and
> the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards loyalty programme — not software.

## Important: Hertz publishes no public API

Verified on 2026-09-13 by direct probe. Hertz operates no public developer programme:

- No developer portal. `developers.hertz.com` resolves to a dangling Akamai CNAME that fails TLS
  hostname verification; `developer.hertz.com` and `apis.hertz.com` do not resolve at all.
- No machine-readable contract. `/openapi.json`, `/swagger.json`, `/api-docs`, `/v1/openapi.json`
  and `/docs` all return 404 on `www.hertz.com` and `api.hertz.com`, and 403 (Imperva WAF) on
  `api.hertz.io`. No GraphQL, gRPC/Protobuf or WSDL surface was found.
- No discovery surface. All 16 named `/.well-known/` and APIs.json root paths were probed on six
  Hertz hosts (96 requests). Every one missed. There is no `security.txt`, no `openid-configuration`,
  no `api-catalog`, no `ai-plugin.json`, no `apis.json` and no agent card at either
  `/.well-known/agent-card.json` or the legacy `/.well-known/agent.json`.
- No `llms.txt` of Hertz's own — `https://www.hertz.com/llms.txt` returns 404. This file was
  generated by API Evangelist, not by Hertz.
- No first-party MCP server. Several third-party "Hertz MCP" listings exist on Apify, mcpmarket
  and similar marketplaces; every one of them drives a headless browser against hertz.com. None is
  published, operated or endorsed by Hertz, and none should be treated as a Hertz interface.
- No first-party SDKs, CLI, Postman collection, changelog, status page or sandbox.

`api.hertz.com` and `api.hertz.io` are real hosts, but they serve the hertz.com website and mobile
app behind an Imperva WAF. They are internal surfaces, not a published product, and carry no
documentation, terms of use or support path for third-party callers.

## How Hertz inventory is actually integrated

Hertz distributes bookable rates and availability through the travel industry's global
distribution systems rather than through a first-party API:

- Travel Agent GDS Tools — https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=GDSindex_TA.jsp
  Hertz's own page, which hands integrators quick-reference guides for Amadeus, Galileo by
  Travelport, SABRE Travel Network and Worldspan by Travelport.
- Partners — https://www.hertz.com/us/en/partners
- Business rental — https://www.hertz.com/us/en/business
- Business Rewards — https://www.hertz.com/us/en/programs/business-rewards

An agent that needs to search or book Hertz vehicles programmatically should go through a GDS or
an authorised travel-technology aggregator, not through hertz.com. Direct connectivity to Hertz is
a commercial partner arrangement, not a self-service signup.
