Yes but you need to join their loyalty club I think. I know certainly you used to.

No, as it’s technically through a third party meaning you can’t link it to your Hertz Gold account.
Happy to be proven wrong but we used Virgin Fly Drive twice last year and were unable to link and go straight to garage to pick own car. Edited at 10:08 PM. |

When I tried to link prior to our last trip In October, I was able to find the booking using the confirmation number provided by virgin holidays. It didn't seem to link as such, however, while on the flight I received an email from Hertz saying I could choose my vehicle and skip the line, which we did with no issues.
When returning, I checked my Hertz gold account and received points from the booking with virgin. So I presume it does link some how, if you log in after signing up and pop the virgin ref in. It just didn't show as linked beforehand if that makes sense.

Looking at it.. I think they use your email address to 'link' your VH booking to your Gold profile, but doesn't give you the same privilages i.e. name on board etc.
I can see both of our VH Fly-Drive rentals on there from 2024 but neither time was my name on the board in the garage. We're using Hertz again in March through a Virgin Fly-Drive package... so will see how it goes and if anything has changed in the 5/6 months since our September trip. |

You can skip the counter with Hertz/Virgin Holidays. We did it last year. I did sign up to Hertz Gold though my booking wasn’t recognised. I ended up receiving an email from VH which basically told me how to skip the queue. Followed the steps, added my details, CC, Passport etc.. when we landed I received an email from Hertz asking me to choose a car and I was able to pick our hire car while taxiing to the terminal at MCO. I was given confirmation what the car and bat number snd told to go straight there.
When we walked past the Hertz booth in the garage my name was on the board, though not listed as a Gold member, it had Virgin Atlantic next to it. Still, we skipped the counter, it was brilliant and would do it again if it’s still a thing.
