Hertz® Signs Lease Agreement at Union Depot with Plans to Open in Time for the Holiday Season

Saint Paul, Minn. (September 16, 2016) – Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority is pleased to announce that Hertz will open a new location at Union Depot. Hertz has signed a two-year lease agreement at Union Depot in Lowertown Saint Paul and is expected to open by November 1, 2016, in time to meet holiday travelers’ needs. The rental counter will be located in the Kellogg Entry, next to the Amtrak® ticketing and baggage area and will operate seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Customers will have a wide array of vehicle options to suit every need and taste, from sporty convertibles and eco-friendly, fuel-efficient models to classic sedans, SUVs and minivans for family travel.

The Hertz service will round out Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority’s multimodal vision for Union Depot as a full-service transit/transportation station and will complement its existing transit and transportation options.

“I welcome the opening of Hertz’s newest location at Union Depot in the Lowertown neighborhood of Saint Paul,” said Rafael E. Ortega, chairman, Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. “The car rental office will first and foremost serve customers traveling to the area, but its convenient location in this thriving neighborhood will benefit local residents seeking rental options for travel.”

Hertz rental cars will be easily available in the Lot B drop off area, accessible from Kellogg Boulevard and Broadway, with six stalls available and no fees for parking, allowing for convenient pick up and returns. Rental car customers will be able to rent or drop off cars for round trip or one-way travel.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to serve Amtrak customers and the local community at Union Depot,” says Hertz General Manager Jeremie Torok. “We look forward to providing travelers with a vehicle that fits their travel plans and needs, while delivering top-notch customer service.”

Hertz will also offer vacation deals to travelers as well as 50 Amtrak Guest Rewards points per day on qualifying Hertz rentals.
