FAQs
What refueling options does Hertz offer?
There are three refueling options for your Hertz rental:
- Fuel Purchase Option (FPO)
- Fuel and Service Charge (FSC)
- You refuel
Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) is when the fuel in the tank is prepaid at local prices and returned at any level.
Fuel and Service Charge (FSC) is if the fuel is less than at the time of original pickup, and if you’ve not chosen the Fuel Purchase Option (FPO), we’ll service and refuel at a per gallon rate.
The third option is for you to return the tank at the same level you picked it up.
What payment methods are accepted?
You can pay by cash or debit/credit card. Other forms of payment accepted are:
- Credit qualifications (terms and conditions apply)
- Cash Deposit Identification Cards and Air Travel Cards (ATCs)
- Miscellaneous Charge Orders - MCO's, vouchers
For more information check out the forms of payment section.
