Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Hertz announced it has joined Amazon Autos to start selling pre-owned vehicles to boost the company's profits.

This partnership allows customers to browse, sign the paperwork, complete their purchase online and pick up their vehicle at Hertz locations on Amazon Autos.

"Our goal is to reimagine the car-buying experience and meet customers where they are - whether online or in person with convenience, confidence and scale," said Jeff Adams, executive vice president of Hertz Car Sales. "Amazon Autos is the ideal partner to help us deliver on this as customers can shop our expansive inventory of high-quality used cars on the same trusted marketplace where millions shop every day."

Hertz plans to expand the arrangement to 45 locations nationwide; customers who live within 75 miles of Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Seattle can start searching through Amazon on Wednesday.
