State-of-the-art Hertz facility opens in Jeddah

Hertz Saudi Arabia has opened a new state-of-the-art, 4,000 square meter workshop to service the growing number of corporate lease vehicles rented within the Kingdom.
The new workshop, located in the Northern Quarter of Jeddah, has employed a team of 25 technicians with expertise in cars and refrigerated trucks.
It is also a base for a brand new fleet of Hertz repair vans commissioned to better service the most remote locations of the Kingdom, a move which has been seen as progressive and adaptive to the unique requirements of a country as expansive as Saudi Arabia.
The 24/7 service, provided by trained specialists including three Saudi nationals, provides customers with oil and essential fluid servicing, fault-finding capabilities through diagnostics technology, and can change tires on vehicles as large as a five-ton truck.
The eight-strong fleet of vehicles, which includes new Hyundai H1 vans and GMC Savannahs, is based at other suitable locations across Saudi in addition to the new Hertz workshop, which is the fifth of its kind in the Kingdom.
The facility can service 20 vehicles per day and will now cater to the entire Western region of the country.
Corporate lease customers in Jeddah will be able to take advantage of paint booth and body shop facilities for 30 vehicles and routine servicing options for their leased vehicles.
Additionally, the workshop has specialist facilities for the maintenance of refrigerated trucks which make up a significant proportion of the Hertz Saudi Arabia Lease fleet.
Gordon Atkinson, general manager of Hertz Saudi Arabia, commented: “The time was right to open a bigger and better facility in Jeddah so as to keep up with demand and provide the best possible service to our customers.”
