As the nation looks ahead to its 250th anniversary and observes Military Appreciation Month, Hertz and The Home Depot are coming together to honor military heroes with a nationwide initiative designed to support their everyday needs with reliable transportation, special travel benefits and meaningful upgrades at home.
Now throughout May, Hertz and The Home Depot are hosting a nationwide contest to shine a spotlight on deserving active-duty service members, veterans, and their spouses who have gone above and beyond for their country and community. Three winners will receive a powerful prize package that includes:
- A car of their choice from Hertz Car Sales
- A limited-edition Husky workbench and Husky rolling jobsite box
- A $1,000 The Home Depot gift card (plus a $1,000 gift card for the nominator)
One contest winner will also receive a garage storage upgrade from The Home Depot in addition to the other prizes to help tackle projects at home or on the job.
“Hertz has a long history of supporting the transportation needs of military members and their families, and this partnership with The Home Depot builds on that commitment in a meaningful way,” said Jeff Adams, executive vice president, Hertz Car Sales. “By combining reliable transportation with practical support at home, we’re focused on honoring service members with solutions that make a real difference in everyday life.”
Hertz brand ambassador and seven time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is helping amplify the initiative by highlighting incredible stories of service and sacrifice, encouraging the public to nominate deserving heroes who go above and beyond in service to their country and communities.
“There are so many people who serve their country and then come home and keep showing up for their families and communities,” said Brady. “And behind every one of them are families making sacrifices as well. Their stories of service don’t always get told, but they’re the ones that matter – and being part of this effort is simply a way to say thank you.”
From May 1 through July 4, eligible military members can receive up to $1,000 off a vehicle purchase at Hertz Car Sales – including access to the largest selection of ‘near new’ model year 2025 vehicles in the used retail market** – helping make dependable transportation more attainable. In addition, Home Depot Verified Military Discount members will be upgraded to Hertz Five Star® status during the same period, allowing them to skip the counter and unlock enhanced rewards and benefits throughout the busy summer travel season and beyond.
