gth0007 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Just a quick note to all of the 2006 and 2007 GTH owners. As part of the new vehicle installation procedure Hertz placed a large white sealed envelope in the trunk that contained the extra key, extra remote, extra Hertz key tag inserts, and extra Hertz car number stickers. This envelope could be under the spare tire or either behind the right or left side trunk trim panels. This envelope contents was used by Hertz when customers lost the keys or removed the Hertz window and door jamb stickers (common occurence). In some cases the envelope may be missing or some of the contents removed as Hertz used the extra items. Also most, if not all, of the Hertz GTH Coupes in 2006 had a GPS tracking device concealed in the interior area. The cars were electronically inventoried daily. Also they could be "tracked" live by selected senior Car Control/ Security Managers. Your location, speed, and direction could be displayed and monitored. Also if the battery was disconnected an e-mail would be sent to Hertz advising this action and the current location of the car. Most thieves didn't realize the GPS system had a long length battery pack. back-up. Many 2006 GTH Coupes were respossessed / towed as a result of "suspicious" activity and / or Rental Agreement violations using the GPS to locate the car. I'm not sure if the 2007 GTH convertibles had the GPS as Hertz new management was balking at paying the $15 monthly GPS fee. Hope this information is useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tispco Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks for the info. I have been all through my dash and I know the GPS was removed, but I will have to check behind the side panels for the 'Do Not Remove' envelope. That would be a great find!!

19again Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am I to understand that the GPS was removed from all Hertz cars? Or is is still behind the glove box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tispco Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am I to understand that the GPS was removed from all Hertz cars? Or is is still behind the glove box? It was suppose to be removed from the cars before they went to auction. Mine was gone, but I have read on this site about a couple owners who found them behind the glovebox. I guess Hertz forgot to remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTH131 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thank you for the welcome! I have learned a lot already,glad I found this forum. We also have a signed 66 clone that we purchased a month ago. The oringinal owner actually road raced it in Virginia. We got a ton of documentation with the car. They really turn heads when we drive them both. Sadly the cruise season is short here in NY. We are having withdrawals,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
