Hertz cinema car
Price Free – the car is available on a trial basis at branches of Hertz
Fast and Furious, Talladega Nights, Bullitt, Baby Driver… When it comes to choosing your all-time best car movies, the list can be as long as a weekend crawl to the coast on a sunny day. But there’s no doubt this new Cinema Car from Hertz would be a cool place to watch your favourite film.
The Cinema Car comes with an ultra-thin 42in screen illuminated by LED uplighters, red velvet curtains, blackout windows and surround sound.
In the back you’ll find two very comfortable seats, also in plush velvet, along with deep holders for your drinks and popcorn. As you battle the traffic up front, your friends can sit back and enjoy the action. It lends a whole new dimension to the idea of a road movie.
The Cinema Car is fitted with a powerful ‘Go Anywhere’ connect device giving you unlimited wifi, so you can stream any film you fancy. It is currently being trialled across Europe and will be touring branches of Hertz here in the UK over the summer. If you want to experience it for yourself, just turn up and have a go.
Depending on our reaction, Hertz may decide to make these Cinema Cars a permanent feature on its UK forecourts. If they do, it could spell the end of ‘Are we there yet?’ whining…
