Hertz Cars Will Freshen Up Using New-Fangled, Odor-Busting Technology

Hertz Cars using New-Fangled, Odor-Busting Technology
Hopping into an odiferous rental car is never a great way to start a vacation. We already know that we’re stuck with older cars until the economy turns around, so the potential for getting a ripe car is pretty likely. Thankfully one rental company is looking to fix that funny smelling upholstery, and they’re doing a little more than just hanging an tree-shaped air freshener from the rear view mirror.
Hertz is going to use the latest technology offered by OMI Industries to introduce the Fresh Wave IAQ to maintain that new car scent in its vehicles. Best of all about this new rental car tech is that it’s green, as all of the products used are derived from plant extracts. This way you won’t be exchanging the smell of old fast food for the smell of chemicals.
There’s no timeline as to when this magical new product will be cleaning up your next car, so for now you might want to check a bottle of Febreze in your luggage. However, Hertz is pretty excited about this new technology, because they do recognize that smelly cars are kept off the road and result in dissatisfied customers.
