Melbourne, Australia – 8 April 2015 – In a commitment to enhancing the rental experience for groups of all shapes and sizes, Hertz has today announced the launch of the Family Collection in Australia. The new collection comprises a large fleet of generously sized Kia Carnivals that are located at all major airports and cities around the country.
Offering eight seats, a deep boot and extensive leg room, the family-friendly Kia Carnival is ideal for spontaneous weekends away, group trips, sporting enthusiasts and anyone that doesn’t travel lightly.
Combining comfort and versatility with smart cruise control technology and the most advanced safety features, the whole family can enjoy peace of mind while adventuring in the Carnival.
“With the features and luxury of a sedan and the space of a SUV, the Kia Carnival is the perfect car for families of any size to explore Australia in comfort and style,” said Chris Rusden, Vice President, Hertz Australia and New Zealand. “I’m thrilled we’re now offering practical renting solutions for the demands of modern families and larger groups who previously needed to travel in two cars.”
“Australians love the Kia Carnival,” said Damien Meredith, Chief Operating Officer at Kia Motors Australia. “I’m delighted that Hertz has introduced the new Carnival to the Family Collection. It was built with families and their luggage in mind and provides long and short-term renters with the chance to experience what Kia can offer, added Mr Meredith.
The practical Family Collection is just one of the specialty categories offered by Hertz in Australia. Other specialty ranges include the Hertz Fun, Adrenaline and Prestige Collections.

International renters can book Family Collection vehicles in Australia by visiting www.hertz.com.
