The Hertz Counter Express product is a dedicated express pick-up service for Australian Government travellers at major airports. Counter Express replaces Hertz’ Gold Program. It is the fastest way to collect a pre-booked vehicles as travellers skip the counter and pick-up the car bays at selected major Hertz airport locations.
‘Straight-to-Car’ technology allows drivers to unlock their rental vehicles using a PIN, which is provided via SMS so travellers must include their mobile phone number in their QBT traveller profile. Where a vehicle does not include this technology, normal Counter Express service will be provided. Locations with vehicles with Straight-to-Car technology are listed on our Vehicle Rental FAQs page.

Booking Options
Vehicle rental booking can be created and managed through QBT or directly with Hertz:
- Online via QBT’s Online Booking Tool (OBT)
QBT, through their Portal, provides participating entities access to their OBT, cytric, where rental vehicles can be booked. Travel Bookers are encouraged to use the OBT wherever possible, as this booking method is usually the most efficient way to book and manage travel. The OBT also allows Travel Bookers to add vehicle rental to air and/or hotel reservations to create a single itinerary.

QBT and the Hertz team of experienced Travel Consultants are available via phone to assist Travellers with more complex requirements. Please refer to the WoAG Contacts Page for details.

Travellers are able to hire a vehicle in person at a Hertz location counter. This is the least recommended method as availability for vehicles is not guaranteed. Travellers require their WoAG Traveller Profile to have been previously established, and to show identification and a driver’s licence to counter staff.
