Transferring IHG points to Hertz car rental is not directly possible as IHG and Hertz are separate loyalty programs that do not have a partnership for points transfer between them. However, there are alternative ways to use your IHG points for car rentals.
One option is to redeem your IHG points for a car rental through IHG’s partnership with other car rental companies, such as Avis or Budget. By booking a car rental through these partners using your IHG points, you can still enjoy the flexibility and convenience of using your points for your travel needs.
Another option is to use your IHG points to book a hotel stay, and then use the money saved on the hotel booking to pay for a separate car rental with Hertz or any other car rental company of your choice. This way, you can indirectly use your IHG points to cover the cost of your car rental.
Keep in mind that IHG points are primarily meant to be used for hotel bookings within the IHG network, so while you cannot transfer them directly to Hertz car rental, you can still leverage your points for a variety of travel-related expenses.
