Hertz has recently moved their offices from the old Durban International Airport to the brand new state-of-the-art King Shaka International airport in La Mercy.

When Hertz moved into their new offices in La Mercy Airport this month, it wasn’t only their customers they wanted to impress.

It’s true that tourists and visitors to the Hertz branch at the new King Shaka International airport in La Mercy  just outside Durban will be blown away, not only by the new state-of-the-art airport, but they will be equally impressed by the new Hertz offices. Now, the excellent service you’ve come to expect from Hertz will come from their new, modern state-of-the-art offices at La Mercy.

Susan Stouffs, Hertz Marketing Manager says, “The move was the obvious choice for Hertz. La Mercy is an absolutely amazing airport, and with the World Cup around the corner, what better way for Hertz to impress visitors than to be part of these state-of-art premises? But for Hertz, this move is about so much more. We are finally able to provide a really comfortable and functional working space for our staff, and that’s what this move was really about for us. Our new offices have the facilities to create a good working environment, which is a priority for us. We are proud to be able to give our staff the offices they deserve.”

Although Hertz has stated that the move was primarily aimed at providing their staff with an excellent working space, they have agreed the new premises are a step up from the old ones.

“Only 30km from Durban city centre, King Shaka La Mercy International airport is worlds apart from Durban International airport”, says Nigel Biffen, Divisional Chief Executive, Hertz. “The new airport at La Mercy is three times the size of Durban International, and can accommodate 7, 5 million annual passengers, as opposed to Durban International’s 4,7 million. That’s an enormous increase in potential customers looking for car rental. The longer runway will allow the airport to service the largest aircrafts in the world, including the behemoth Airbus A380, which means an increase in international visitors, who may require a rental car. Being a part of this state of the art airport was the natural choice for Hertz, who as you know, strive always to be the best“

The move did pose transport problems for some staff members at Hertz. Determined to make the move a positive one for all staff members, Hertz has provided means of transport for the convenience of its staff.  Hertz has also provided all the necessary assistance to those staff members wanting to relocate. These measures have aptly demonstrated that Hertz really cares about the well-being of its employees.

It seems everyone from soccer fans to staff members, from local visitors to international visitors are going to benefit from the move to La Mercy.  If the theory that happy staff members are more willing to do an excellent job is true, then you can expect even better service than usual from the staff at Hertz.
