Open Enrollment is Nov. 1-15, 2025
This Open Enrollment period is for benefits effective Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2026. Don’t miss your chance to update your coverages!
What You Need to Know
Open Enrollment for 2026 benefits will be a passive enrollment. Unless you make any changes, all benefits from 2025 will roll over to 2026, with the exception of heath savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible spending accounts (FSAs). If you wish to contribute to either an HSA or FSA for 2026, you must elect those coverages and amounts for 2026.
You must log in to your Hertz Benefits account and actively enroll to:
- Change your current benefit elections
- Add or drop your covered dependent(s)
- Enroll or continue participating in a flexible spending account (FSA)
- Begin saving or make changes to your health savings account (HSA) contributions
Virtual Benefits Fair
The Virtual Benefits Fair offers guidance on how to enroll in or make changes to your benefits, how to choose the right medical option for you and your family, and the dependent verification process if you add a new dependent to your coverage.
Plus, keep your eyes peeled for “Zippy” the Dog: find “Zippy” and register to win valuable prizes from our benefit vendors.
Updating Dependent Coverage
If you are adding or changing dependent(s) coverage or have a disabled child over the age of 26, be prepared to upload documentation verifying your dependent is eligible for the plan in which they are enrolled. Dependent Verification documents must be uploaded no later than Nov. 27, 2025, for coverage to be effective Jan. 1, 2026.
Highlights for 2026
- No Increase to Your Medical Premiums
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
- Wellness Reward
- Health Savings Account (HSA)
It’s no secret that healthcare costs continue to rise. During our recent Employee Voice Survey, many of you asked for medical premiums to remain stable — and we listened.
We are excited to announce that medical rates will not be increasing for the 2026 plan year!
Visit the Medical Plan Costs & Coverage page for information about your medical plan options.
If you wish to participate in a flexible spending account (FSA), you must enroll or elect contributions during Open Enrollment.
Contribution Limit Increases:
- The healthcare flexible spending account (HCFSA) maximum contribution limit is increasing to $3,300.
- The dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA) limit is increasing to $7,500 individually, or up to $3,750 if married and filing separately.
Visit the Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) page for information about your FSA options.
Employees who receive an annual preventive health screening and complete Quantum’s annual health risk assessment will be eligible to receive a wellness reward.
If you cover a spouse or domestic partner, they will also be required to complete these activities in order for you both to earn your rewards.
You must be enrolled in a Hertz UMR medical plan to be eligible for the reward.*
You have until December 31, 2025 to complete the required wellness activities. Please note that retroactive credits or late submissions will not be accepted.
Schedule your annual preventive health screening today! Call Quantum at 877-674-3045 if you have any questions about the wellness reward. You can find more information on the Medical Wellbeing Programs page.
*The ability to earn rewards through our wellness program is available to all employees. If you or a dependent think you might be unable to meet a standard for the reward under this wellness program, you might qualify for an opportunity to earn the same reward by different means. Contact HR and we will work with you to develop another way to qualify for the reward.
The CDHP will be the only Hertz medical plan that works with a health savings account (HSA). If you currently have an HSA and switch to either the PPO plan or Copay plan, you will not be able to continue your HSA contributions.
However, you will still be able to access and use the money that is in your account for eligible expenses.
Contribution Limit Increase: The HSA maximum contribution limits are increasing to $4,400 for employee-only and to $8,750 for all other coverage, plus a $1,000 annual catch up contribution for those over age 55 — all maximums include Hertz funding.
Visit the Health Savings Account (HSA) page for information about managing your HSA. For information about the medical plan options available to you, visit the Medical Plan Costs & Coverage page.
