With more than 4000 residents, Seward Park Co-op, the largest cooperative in New York, is a natural fit for Connect by Hertz. By placing cars at Seward Park, we're providing a cost-effective travel option for its residents while enhancing the corporation's commitment to the environment."

Celebrating its 50th year, Seward Park has a strong commitment to the environment, working with Comverge and the Clean Energy Network NY, and is in the process of opening a green market on Hester Street.

Two EPA SmartWay(R) certified cars have been placed at Seward Park and will be available for use 24/7. Cars are available to all resident members of Connect by Hertz with gas, maintenance, insurance and parking included in the low, hourly rate. Hertz was selected by Seward Park for its advanced technology, solid infrastructure and quality vehicles and Hertz's history of providing superior customer service.

Connect by Hertz uses the latest in end-to-end telematics to provide superior customer service. Members enroll online where they can retrieve invoices and access their driving history. After reserving, an email confirmation and text message indicating the car's license plate and location is sent to the member. To unlock and engage the vehicle, members simply swipe their Connect card over the car's identification reader. In car, a hands-free audio kit connects members to a Member Care Center representative should they have questions, need assistance or need to extend their rental. Cars are also equipped with iPod connectivity and NeverLost(R) in-car navigation system.
