SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information regarding us, the exchange offers and the Exchange Notes and should be read as an introduction to the more detailed
information included elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before participating in the exchange offers and investing
in the Exchange Notes. You should read the following summary carefully together with the more detailed information, including but not limited to the sections entitled "Risk
Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and accompanying notes, included elsewher
in this prospectus before making any investment decision.
Our Company
Hertz operates its car rental business through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from approximately 10,400 corporate, licensee and franchisee locations in North America,
Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand. Hertz is the largest worldwide airport general use car rental brand, operating from approximately
8,800 corporate and licensee locations in approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,590 corporate and franchisee locations in approximately 82
countries. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. We are one of the only car rental companies tha
has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We believe that we maintain the leading airport car rental
brand market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at 111 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and where data regarding car
rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our
equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through approximately 340 branches in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, China and Saudi Arabia, as well as through our
international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We also own Donlen Corporation,
based in Northbrook, Illinois, which is a leader in providing fleet leasing and management services. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able
to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. Our revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2% over the last 20 years, with
year-over-year growth in 17 of those 20 years. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had total revenues of approximately
$8.3 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively. We completed the Dollar Thrifty Acquisition on November 19, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2012, Dollar Thrifty had total revenues of approximately $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.
Our Business Segments
Our business consists of two reportable segments: rental and leasing of cars, crossovers and light trucks, or "car rental," and rental of industrial, construction, material handling and
other equipment, or "equipment rental." General corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as fees
and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and third party claim management services are included as "other reconciling items."
Car Rental: Our "company-operated" rental locations are those through which we, or an agent of ours, rent cars that we own or lease. We maintain a substantial network of
company-operated car rental locations both in the United States and internationally, and what we believe to be the largest number of company-operated airport car rental locations in the
world, enabling us to provide consistent quality and service worldwide. Our licensees and associates also operate rental locations in over 140 countries and jurisdictions, including
most of the countries in which we have company-operated rental locations.

Table of Contents
Equipment Rental: We believe, based on an article in Rental Equipment Register published in May 2012, that HERC (as defined above in "General Information") is one of the
largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined. HERC rents a broad range of earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical
equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks. HERC also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and
consumables, as well as through its Hertz Entertainment Services division.
Our Markets
We are engaged principally in the global car rental industry and in the equipment rental industry.
Worldwide Car Rental
We believe that the global car rental industry exceeds $37 billion in annual revenues. According to Auto Rental News, car rental industry revenues in the United States are estimate
to be approximately $24 billion for 2012 and grew in 2012 by 3.9%. We believe car rental revenues in Europe account for approximately $13 billion in annual revenues, with the airpor
portion of the industry comprising approximately 37% of the total. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. We believe total rental
revenues for the car rental industry in Europe in 2012 were approximately $10.6 billion in 10 countries--France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium,
the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Luxembourg--where we have company-operated rental locations and approximately $2.6 billion in 11 other countries--Ireland, Portugal, Sweden,
Greece, Austria, Denmark, Poland, Finland, Hungary, Malta and Romania--where our Hertz brand is present through our licensees.
We estimate that rentals by airline travelers at or near airports, or "airport rentals," accounted for approximately one-half of the total market in the United States in 2012. This
portion of the market is significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic, or "enplanements," as well as the Gross Domestic
Product, or "GDP." We believe domestic enplanements in 2012 approximated 2011 levels, however, we expect them to increase by 1.8% in 2013. Current data suggests that U.S. GDP
increased in the third quarter of 2012 at an annual rate of approximately 2.7%. The International Air Transport Association, or "IATA," projected in September 2012 that annual global
enplanements would increase by 4.5% in 2013.
The off-airport portion of the industry has rental volume primarily driven by local business use, leisure travel and the replacement of cars being repaired. Because Europe has
generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel, the European off-airport car rental market is significantly more developed than it is in the United States. However, we
believe that in recent years, industry revenues from off-airport car rentals in the United States have grown faster than revenues from airport rentals.
We provide commercial fleet leasing and management services to national corporate customers throughout the United States and Canada through Donlen Corporation, or "Donlen,"
wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. Donlen is a fully integrated fleet management services provider with a comprehensive suite of product offerings ranging from leasing and managing
vehicle fleets to providing other fleet management services to reduce fleet operating costs.
Worldwide Equipment Rental
We estimate the size of the U.S. equipment rental industry, which is highly fragmented with few national competitors and many regional and local operators, increased from
approximately $28 billion in annual revenues for 2011 to approximately $31 billion in annual revenues for 2012, but the part of the rental industry dealing with equipment of the type
HERC rents is somewhat smaller than that. We believe that the industry is expected to grow at a 12.8% compound annual growth rate between 2013
