Is Hertz partnered with Delta?

Delta SkyMiles are some of the easiest airline miles to earn – and there's a new way to earn even more when you rent a car thanks to Delta's partnership with Hertz.



Yes, in 2026, Hertz and Delta Air Lines maintain a robust, multi-layered partnership that offers significant benefits to travelers. This collaboration allows Delta SkyMiles members to earn miles on every qualifying Hertz rental worldwide. For those with Medallion Status, the perks are even more substantial: Diamond and Platinum Medallion members receive complimentary Hertz President’s Circle status, while Gold and Silver Medallion members are eligible for Hertz Five Star status. These tiers provide benefits such as guaranteed upgrades, a wider selection of vehicles, and expedited service. Additionally, travelers booking their rentals directly through Delta's website or app often access exclusive rates and can earn up to 4 miles per dollar spent. This partnership is a cornerstone of Delta’s broader travel ecosystem, designed to provide a seamless transition from the aircraft to the road for frequent flyers.
