Reading the figures

The 41 branches are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by canton — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded 23 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Hertz in Switzerland

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many branches does Hertz have in Switzerland?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 41 Hertz branches in Switzerland, across 14 cantons. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Switzerland does Hertz reach?

32.4 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Hertz, and 52.7 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Hertz denser in Switzerland or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Hertz has 0.46 branches in Switzerland against 0.37 in France — a density 24 % higher. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
