Hertz New Zealand offers you the option to reduce the ADE by purchasing Accident Excess Reduction (AER).

For the highest level of protection Hertz offers and optional inclusive Renter Protection Package (PKG) which combines AER with benefits of Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and Personal Effects Cover (PEC).
