Visit the Hertz website. Click "#1 Club" on the left-hand menu, followed by "Overview." This page will give a birds-eye-view of the two membership options--Hertz #1 Club and Hertz #1 Club Gold.
Observe the similarities between the two memberships. Both provide faster service, offer discounts, and promise a wider variety of vehicles. Presentation of your membership number pulls up your personal information for expedited reservations. Discounts are available on child car seats, and there is no extra driver charge for spouses or partners. Drivers typically must be 25 years of age to enroll.

Beyond the perks mentioned in Step 1, this plan also includes the accumulation of Hertz #1 Awards points to be used for free rental days or other Hertz awards.
