Our verdict

Hertz Bahamas WiFi suits renters picking up a car in the Bahamas who want the device handed over at the counter, at $9.99 a day. It is a rental add-on rather than a travel data plan, so anyone shopping by data allowance, validity or coverage should start with a roaming plan.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The device is collected with the car at any Hertz Bahamas location, so there is no separate shop to visit.
  • A free shuttle from major hotels in Nassau, Paradise Island and Freeport covers the trip to the counter.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is a phone call, an email or the help centre.
  • For a traveller already renting a car, the Wi-Fi sits inside the same booking at $9.99 a day, so there is a single handover to manage.

Cons

  • The deposit of $250 is a large sum to have available when you collect the device with the car.
  • It places 36 of 59 brands on daily price, so cheaper devices sit on the same shortlist.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a device that fails at the counter has to be sorted by phone, email or the help centre rather than face to face.

Who it suits

  • You are collecting a rental car in the Bahamas and want the device in the same handover.
  • Your stay is on a single island, so the device only has to work in one place.
  • You would rather deal with the rental company you already have a file with than set up a separate data plan.

Who should look elsewhere

  • WOM Chile, if you are moving between countries, because a roaming plan at CLP 3,990 a day follows you across borders rather than stopping with a single car hire.
  • QCell, if the deposit decides it, since its deposit is GMD 5,000 rather than the $250 here.
  • MobileWiFi, if the daily rate is the deciding number, at ZAR 29 a day.

Where it sits among rivals

Hertz Bahamas WiFi sits in the dearer part of the pocket WiFi field, and the ranking is not close. It places 36 of 59 brands on daily price, so most of the devices compared here cost less to hire for a trip of the same length. The deposit ranking reads better: 17 of 18. The hold on your card is not what pushes this brand down the page. Both numbers matter in different ways. The daily rate decides what a longer stay costs, and the deposit is a fixed sum you need available at the counter. Put them side by side before you book, and judge the daily rate over the whole hire rather than for a single day.

Rental terms

The Wi-Fi device is charged at $9.99 a day, with a deposit of $250 on top. Both figures come from a Bahamas operator, so they sit naturally in a rental car budget rather than in a roaming top-up. Collection is the easy part. The device comes with the car at any Hertz Bahamas location, so there is no separate shop to find and no second supplier to brief. A free shuttle runs from major hotels in Nassau, Paradise Island and Freeport, which takes care of the journey from where you are staying to the counter. For a short island trip the deposit is the number to plan around, because it is a fixed sum rather than something that grows with the days booked. The daily rate keeps adding for every extra day of hire.

Who runs it

The Wi-Fi service is run by a Bahamas operator rather than a connectivity company that sells plans across many markets. Headquarters sit in Bahamas, which matters if you need help on the island rather than through a call centre on another continent. Support runs on email, phone and help centre. A phone call suits a problem spotted at the counter, email suits anything that needs a written record, and the help centre holds the answers for later. That spread is sensible for a short trip where nobody has time to sit on hold. Because the same company also books car rental and transfers, the device sits inside a rental relationship rather than a standalone tech purchase, and questions about the Wi-Fi and the car go to the same people.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the device cost per day?+

The daily rate is $9.99, charged for as long as you keep the device. A deposit of $250 sits on top of that. The Wi-Fi is handed over with the car, so the rate is the whole running cost of the device itself rather than a layer of a bigger package.

How do I collect the device?+

You collect it with the car at any Hertz Bahamas location, so there is no separate shop to find. The company also runs a free shuttle from major hotels in Nassau, Paradise Island and Freeport, which takes care of the journey from your hotel to the counter.

What is the deposit, and how does it compare?+

The deposit on this device is $250. QCell lists a deposit of GMD 5,000, and the two are quoted in different currencies, so neither number transfers neatly onto the other. Read each against the card you will use and the length of your stay.

Is this a data plan or a rental?+

It is a rental device that travels with your car rather than a travel data plan, and it serves a single market. If you need connectivity beyond the island, a roaming plan is the better shape, such as WOM Chile at CLP 3,990 a day.

How do I get help if the device fails?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the operation is based in Bahamas. A phone call is the quickest option when a problem shows up at the counter, while the help centre covers anything you would rather read later on.

How does the daily price compare with other devices?+

Hertz Bahamas WiFi places 36 of 59 brands on daily price, so the rate of $9.99 sits in the costlier part of the field. MobileWiFi lists ZAR 29 a day, which is a useful lower mark to measure it against.

How is the device linked to the car booking?+

The device is handed over when you collect the car, at any Hertz Bahamas location, so the two arrive together. The same company also books car rental and transfers, which keeps the car, the device and a transfer with a single supplier.

Where does the Wi-Fi work?+

It works where Hertz Bahamas operates, which covers the collection points reached by the shuttle from Nassau, Paradise Island and Freeport. The device is tied to that operation, so a trip across several markets needs a different kind of plan.
