Requirements to Get the Discount

  • Training requests must be submitted to Herc Rentals at least two weeks in advance of the course date to guarantee the partnership discount.

  • Group trainings must be held in person on a weekday at a Herc Rental location within their normal business hours.

  • Training on weekends should be arranged at your local union site. Keep in mind, Herc has course minimums that must be met to qualify for the partnership discount.

  • Locals are required to set up an account with Herc. This will make the invoicing process post-class easier.
