Dallas,
TX – August 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Global
sports entertainment leader Topgolf®
announces Hertz,
the leading car rental brand for frequent travelers, as a new strategic
partner, providing customers across both brands with enhanced VIP entertainment
and travel experiences.
“Hertz
and Topgolf share a passion for delighting the guest and treating every
person like a VIP. We’re thrilled that Hertz is now an official business
travel partner, providing special offers, novel in-venue activations and
benefits for Topgolf guests and Hertz customers,” said Rodney Ferrell,
Topgolf’s vice president of global partnerships.
Topgolf
blends technology and entertainment for an experience that makes socializing
a sport for everyone. Every guest entering Topgolf venues can expect world-class
service. Now, Hertz customers will be able to enjoy unique access to Topgolf’s
amenities and more.
Hertz
and Topgolf will kick off their partnership with a Swing Suite Go simulator
at the annual Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Convention in San
Diego, California, from August 11–15. Beginning in September, the two companies
will offer “Hertz Wednesdays” – a new weekly promotion that allows customers
with a Hertz rental car to receive a special game play offer, compliments
of Hertz, and the ability to compete against other Hertz customers around
the country for prizes. Topgolf also will offer a special month-long competition
in November called, “Hertz Yellow Target Challenge.” During this time,
all Topgolf guests will be eligible to win prizes and experiences from
Hertz. In addition, both companies are exploring ways for Hertz Gold Plus
Rewards® members to redeem their loyalty points.
“We
are incredibly excited about our partnership with Topgolf, a fast-growing
and exciting brand with broad appeal and reach that blends the best of
technology and entertainment,” said Jayesh Patel, senior vice president
of brand at Hertz. “Topgolf is all about connecting people in meaningful
ways. Similarly, Hertz is a global leader in our industry, dedicated to
providing exceptional service and memorable experiences for our customers.
Our partnership with Topgolf will further enable us to accomplish this.”
