Most of the models supplied to Hertz will be the Polestar 2 but the gorgeous Polestar 1 will also make an appearance in Hertz's Dream fleet. This 65,000 car order is one of the largest ever single-order electric deals to a rental company and will be a big part of how Polestar reaches its 290,000 vehicle-sale goal by 2025. “Our partnership with Hertz is an exciting milestone that provides the opportunity for a significant number of potential new customers to experience an EV for the first time, and it will be in a Polestar,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath. “With over 55,000 Polestar cars already on the road across our 25 live markets there is no doubt that our brand is growing at an incredible pace.” ![]() *Polestar 2* Having the [Polestar 2]() in Hertz's rental fleet will not only bolster the brand's sales but it will also introduce the very new, unproven brand to many customers who may never have heard of Polestar before. It might actually be one of the best ways to introduce a new brand to the market, as renting a car requires no commitment. New car customers might be hesitant to drop the $45,000-$55,000 on a brand they've never heard of before, no matter how interesting it looks. But renting one comes with no long-term financial commitment while also letting the customer live with the car for a few days, thus allowing them to try something new and unproven, completely risk free. That risk-free trial might then potentially give them the confidence to buy one after their rental is over. Included in this deal will be upcoming Polestar models as well, such as the [Polestar 3]() and 5. The former of which won't debut until October 2022 and the latter will be revealed in 2023. So don't expect either in a Hertz fleet anytime soon but, because the deal is to deliver 65,000 cars over five years, expect all new Polestars in that timeframe to make the Hertz lineup. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
