Hertz launched a global car share club in London, New York City and Paris

. Connect by Hertz offers an “economical, convenient and socially conscious alternative to car ownership,” with hourly rates as low as $10 that include insurance, fuel, roadside assistance, maintenance and cleaning. Various pricing options also require an annual fee for a smartcard to activate the cars. Connect is to debut this month at Ohio State University in Columbus to replace a car share program run by ZipCar.
