The Hertz Self Service Return machine is similar to an automatic teller machine (ATM) for use by a credit card customer. The Self Service Return machine has a screen that guides you through the return process to enter the Rental Record number, odometer reading, whether or not gas was purchased, and if so the fuel gauge reading.

The rental charges are automatically calculated and a receipt prints out. A copy of the completed Rental Record and an invoice will be sent to the customer on the next business day.

The Hertz Self Service Return unit is installed at or near the bus stop by the car rental return area.
