Hertz International and Air France have launched a new private driver transfer service to all Air France passengers.

The new transfer service, Hertz DriveU, is available at select airports and countries across southern and eastern Africa and offers an alternative to taxis and other means of transportation.

Air France customers and Flying Blue members travelling on-board partner airlines' flights can pre-book Hertz DriveU up to 3 hours before the transfer.

Customers will receive an email confirming the booking. This is followed by a text message just before pick-up with the driver's full details, including contact numbers, pick-up location and vehicle information.

Hertz DriveU vehicles are grouped under Standard, Premium, Luxury, Green and Van categories.

Air France La Première customers currently have access to complimentary Hertz DriveU transfers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
