Herc purchases numerous items to rent and sell to its customers.  Purchases of tangible personal property or services that are intended to be re-rented or resold are exempt from sales tax.  In all states except Illinois, Louisiana and Maine, Herc can provide a resale certificate to vendors when purchasing items that will ultimately be rented or sold to Herc’s customers. 

Resale certificates should only be prepared by Tax Department personnel.  To request a resale certificate, please provide the following information via email to [email protected]:

• Vendor name
• Vendor address
• State or states for which a certificate is needed
• A general description of the type of item(s) being purchased
• Email address where the certificate should be sent

If the request is valid and approved by the Tax department, a resale and exempt certificate will be issued and sent to the e-mail address provided as soon as possible.

It is important to note that items for Herc’s own use such as office supplies, tools, cleaning supplies, water, etc. must be purchased with sales tax included as they are not items that will be rented or sold to Herc’s customers.
