Grand Prizes Feature Hertz Six-Day Car Rental, Six-Days/Five-Nights Hotel Accommodations From Marriott International, Round-Trip Coach Airline Tickets for Two From CheapTickets.com and a $500 Gift Card From American Express
PARK RIDGE, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/18/2006 -- The Hertz Corporation announced its participation in a unique 'Wonders of America' Sweepstakes program*, developed in partnership with the Travel Industry Association and inspired by the U.S. Postal Service "Wonders of America" stamp series.
Available May 1, 2006 through July 15, 2006, the promotion encourages visitors to enter for chances to win one of seven Grand Prizes that include a six-day car rental voucher from Hertz; round-trip coach class airfare for two good for travel to the 48 continental United States from CheapTickets.com; a five-night, six-day hotel voucher from Marriott International; and a $500 American Express Gift Card. The Grand Prizes are courtesy of The Hertz Corporation, Marriott International, Inc., CheapTickets.com and American Express. To enter the sweepstakes, visitors click on the link for Wonders of America Sweepstakes at www.SeeAmerica.org.
"We're excited about the Wonders of America Sweepstakes," commented Pamela Wright, Vice President, Travel Industry and Partnership Marketing for Hertz. "As this sweepstakes is all about superlatives -- the longest river or the highest mountain, for example -- Hertz, being the largest leisure car rental brand in the US, is a natural sponsor of the program."
Following a one-time registration process, a map of the United States and three randomly-generated Wonders of America stamps will appear. Visitors can use their cursors to drag each of the stamps to the home state of the wonder. Once all game stamps have been matched with their corresponding states, the visitor is entered in the sweepstakes.
Stamp placement need not be correct to earn sweepstakes entry, but all stamps need to be placed within a state to be eligible. Winners will receive prize vouchers and will be responsible for planning their own travel arrangements to the destination of their choice.
After playing the game, visitors to the site will also have an opportunity to learn more about the Wonders of America through a series of stamp fact pages. Each page will include facts about the location of each stamp's state and links to state and local tourism web sites where the wonder can be found.
Hertz allows travelers to explore America with confidence, with its signature NeverLost in-car navigation system, providing voice and visual directions as you drive from your current location to the destination of your choice. This popular feature allows for trouble-free travel and quick, easy access on road trips almost anywhere -- whether you're enroute to a downtown business conference, or Mount Rushmore with the family.
The first car rental company to introduce on-board navigation on a nationwide basis in the United States, Hertz has long been the market leader in this area. For reservations or to find participating Hertz locations, go to www.hertz.com. A NeverLost-equipped Hertz vehicle may also be reserved through travel agents or by calling the toll-free number at 1-800-654-3131.
Hertz operates from 7,600 locations in approximately 150 countries worldwide.
