Hertz Asia Pacific has partnered with Make-A-Wish Foundation to provide complimentary rental vehicles to families who travel in six Asia Pacific countries as part of their wish experience. 

The car rental company announced Tuesday that in addition to providing free rental vehicles to Make-A-Wish families commuting in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China, it will also support the foundation with a series of fundraising initiatives set to be launched throughout the year.

“Hertz is honored to partner with Make-A-Wish. We hope that with our support, Make-A-Wish can continue making progress to achieve their vision to grant life-changing wishes for every eligible child and teenager.” Hertz Asia Pacific vice president Eoin MacNeill said in a news release. “The Hertz team is looking forward to making this partnership an integral part of our business operation, to not only give something back to the community, but also raise vital funds for the charity.”

According to MacNeill, Hertz Asia Pacific is currently looking into ways that can allow Hertz customers to donate to Make-A-Wish when they pay for their vehicle rental fee.

“We are thrilled that Hertz's support will help provide life-altering wish experiences for children across Asia Pacific,” said Jon Stettner, president and chief executive officer of Make-A-Wish International. “We know these wishes forever change the lives of the wish children and families involved, and they would not be possible without the generosity of donors and supporters like Hertz.”

Established in 1980, Make-A-Wish now operates in more 50 different countries.
