Where Does the Hertz App Store Data?
Hertz keeps rentals in private storage on Android. This post covers the verified Android ID and the rental cache.
Last updated
Car rental Hertz runs a short package on Android. Private storage holds the login session plus the rental cache. The local copy keeps the session active and holds rental details and location cache for nearby stations. It does not replace the booking record, which stays on the servers with email confirmations as backup.
An iOS build exists separately with an unverified ID, so only Android is stated here. Bookings live server side with the Hertz account. A fresh login restores everything after reinstall or storage clear. Clearing cache from system settings helps with stale location data, while a full clear logs you out.

Private session and rental cache for the verified Hertz package. Rentals sync from servers after login.
Frequently asked questions
Do Hertz rentals transfer phones?
Log into the same Hertz account on the new phone. Rentals sync from the servers with the account. Local data holds the session and location cache only, so a fresh login brings the bookings back.
How do I clear Hertz cache?
Clear cache from system settings for stale location data. A full storage clear logs you out of the app. Log back into the same account and the confirmations return from the servers.
