BRENTWOOD, Essex, 5th December, 2017 – Ford has partnered with Hertz in the UK to offer Hertz 24/7 hourly van hire via the FordPass app, Ford's mobility platform.

We are confident that FordPass customers will enjoy the seamless access to Hertz 24/7's enrolment process and the service's convenience.'
