The film was released on VHS format throughout the United States and Canada. It has yet to be released on DVD or Blu-ray format, nor been available to stream on Disney+ which has been requested of Disney by many fans of both the "Herbie" series and Bruce Campbell.
The road used for the race scene between Horace and Herbie is called Golden State Highway. Up until 1968, it was part of the historic Highway 99 until the highway was retired and mostly flooded over by a dam and reservoir leaving only the small section seen in the movie. It is also worth mentioning that this was one of the roads taken by James Dean on the day he was killed. This road, located just north of Burbank off Interstate 5, is commonly used in Hollywood movies.
Horace The Hate Bug is currently own by a private owner.
The futuristic car that Donny Shots (Mickey Dolenz) drives up in at the race was originally built for the Logan's Run TV series and was also used in the Tom Petty music video for You Got Lucky
