LONDON, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hertz Corporation (NYSE:HTZ), the world's leading general use car rental company, has recently expanded its exclusive Dream Collection in Europe with new stunning models such as the Mercedes C 63 AMG Coupe in Italy and the UK and the stylish Maserati GranTurismo in France.

"The Hertz Dream Collection gives people the opportunity to experience some of the most famous and desirable brands in elite motoring," commented Michel Taride, Group President, Hertz International. "The Dream car experience extends from special reservation channels to being greeted by a Hertz representative at the pick-up point, and then getting behind the wheel of a breath-taking vehicle in pristine condition. We ensure that whisking away and driving a car of your dreams from the Hertz Dream Collection will be an unforgettable pleasure."

The Dream Collection is available in selected locations across Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the UK.

The high end marques and top service that characterize The Hertz Dream Collection redefine the premium car rental experience. The selected Dream vehicle is handed over in person by the specially trained Dream team so that customers can bypass the counter or, in some locations, have the car delivered directly to them. All bookings are backed by Hertz's make and model guarantee, meaning that the customers will drive away exactly the car they booked.

A personalized reservation service is available on the dedicated microsites www.hertzdreamcollection.co.uk for the UK and www.hertzdreamcars.com for the US. In the rest of the countries where the collection is available, bookings can be made on Hertz's local websites.

The Hertz Dream Collection (called Hertz Dream Cars in the US) is the latest addition to the unique and distinctive Hertz Collections. Other specially created ranges in Europe include the Prestige Collection, a line of luxurious models known for increased levels of comfort, elegance and performance and the Family Collection, featuring extra space and a 5-star NCAP safety rating. European Collections also includes Fun, sleek and small sporty cars chosen for their great looks and character; and Green, a range of electric, hybrid and fuel-efficient cars.

Collections in the US and Australia include Prestige, Green Traveler and Adrenaline – a range of  exhilarating specialty performance cars.
