Hertz rental car opening at Springfield Union Station

SPRINGFIELD — Rental car company Hertz is opening a location in Springfield Union Station in time for the busy holiday travel season.

The Hertz service will round out the Springfield Redevelopment Authority's vision for Union Station as a full-service intermodal transportation hub, the authority said in a statement.

The grand opening is set for Wednesday.

Hertz recently signed a multiyear lease agreement.

"We are proud to open our doors at Union Station," said Hertz Area Manager Nick Daddabbo in the statement.

The rental counter is on the station's main concourse next to the Peter Pan Bus Lines ticket booth.

Union Station hosts more than 2.6 million visitors a year. It already offers PVTA intracity bus service, Peter Pan and Greyhound long distance bus service, Amtrak passenger rail and CTrail Hartford Line passenger trains.

Hertz rental cars will be available in the Union Station Parking garage, accessible via Main Street.

Union Station formerly had a Sixt rental car office .
