Any Hertz 5* FTers? Does not seems to be a great program
If you attain the appropriate rentals ( commonly 10 ) to attain 5* , then you will be 5* for the following year; get the appropriate rental count next year and will continue onwards to the following etc

If you attain the appropriate rentals ( commonly 30 or 40 ) to attain President's Circle the same rules apply

In some markets, if you attain the required rentals this year and you phone Hertz , they will upgrade the status now without having to wait till next year
