"Our spring Weekend Getaway contest was incredibly popular, with more than 500,000 consumers visiting the site and we wanted to do something similar for people traveling this fall," commented Mark P. Frissora, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for The Hertz Corporation. "Throughout the country, autumn is a popular drive season. With our 'Working for the Weekend' sweepstakes, we're giving customers the opportunity to go from work to weekend instantaneously with free weekend giveaways while also giving three lucky entrants the opportunity to win a new car."

In addition to the Grand Prize Sweepstakes, the 'Spin to Win' game allows consumers to 'spin' the wheel for the chance to win either a two or three day weekend rental. Featuring Horatio, Hertz's cheeky mascot, 'Spin to Win' highlights the accessibility of Hertz – at the airport and in the neighborhood – with special offers and deals as well as the free weekend giveaways. And, as an added thank you to Hertz customers, select airport locations throughout the country will be distributing scratch off cards that offer attractive discounts and added value products on their next Hertz rental.

To participate in the 'Working for the Weekend' promotion, US visitors to www.hertzweekend.com, complete the entry form to receive one entry into the Sweepstakes and one 'Spin to Win' game play for each day of the promotion.
