SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information regarding us, the exchange offer 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 offer 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 elsewhere 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 10,900 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 9,300 corporate and licensee locations in
approximately 150 countries. Our Dollar and Thrifty brands have approximately 1,600 corporate and franchisee locations in approximatel
90 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 that has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the Unite
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 120 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 overall
reported 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, or "Donlen," 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 6.0% over the last
20 years, with year-over-year growth in 17 of those 20 years. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended June 30,
2013, we had total revenues of approximately $9.0 billion and $5.2 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 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 qualit
and service worldwide. Our licensees, franchisees and associates also operate rental locations in approximately 145 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 2013, that HERC 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, which rents lighting and related aerial products used primarily in the U.S. entertainment industry.
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 were estimated to be approximately $24 billion for 2012 and grew in 2012 by 3.9%. We believe car
rental revenues in Europe account for over $13 billion in annual revenues, with the airport 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 $11.0 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 $2.2 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.
Rentals by airline travelers at or near airports, or "airport rentals," are 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 it to increase by 1.8% in 2013. Current data suggests that U.S. GDP
increased in the first quarter of 2013 at an annual rate of approximately 1.1% and at an annual rate of approximately 2.5% in the second
quarter of 2013. The International Air Transport Association, or "IATA," stated in December 2012 that annual global enplanements
increased by 5.3% in 2012 and are expected to 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, a 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 to approximately $33.5 billion in annual revenues for 2013, 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 9.7%
compound annual growth rate between 2013 and 2016. Other market data indicates that the equipment

Table of Contents
rental industries in China, France, Spain and Saudi Arabia generate approximately $5.1 billion, $4.5 billion, $2.5 billion and $0.5 billion
in annual revenues, respectively, although the portions of those markets in which HERC competes are smaller.
The equipment rental industry serves a broad range of customers from small local contractors to large industrial national accounts and
encompasses a wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy earthmoving equipment. We believe U.S. non-residential
construction spending declined at an annual rate of approximately 6% in 2012, is currently growing at 1.5% in 2013 and is estimated to
grow 14% in 2014. We also believe that rental equipment accounted for approximately 50% of all equipment sold into the U.S. constructio
and industrial industry in 2012, up from approximately 5% in 1993. In addition, we believe that the trend toward rental instead of
ownership of equipment in the U.S. construction and industrial industry will continue and that as much as 50% of the equipment used in the
industry could be rental equipment by 2015.

Summary of the Terms of the Exchange Offer
On March 28, 2013, Hertz completed an offering of $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018
(referred to herein as the "Notes"). The Notes were issued as a separate series of additional notes under the indenture, dated as of
October 16, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Indenture"), among Hertz (as
successor-in-interest to HDTFS, Inc.), as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as trustee. Prior to the issuance of the Notes, $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020
and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2022 were issued under the Indenture, which separate series
of notes are currently outstanding under the Indenture.
The offering of the Notes was made only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States
under Regulation S, and accordingly was exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the offering of the Notes, Hertz and the Subsidiary Guarantors
entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement, dated as of March 28,
2013 (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time,
the "registration rights agreement"), with the initial purchasers of the Notes as
stated therein.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed to use our commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part to become effective within 365 days after the date of the registration rights
agreement, which is the date of issuance of the Notes, March 28, 2013. We further
agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to commence the exchange offer
promptly after the registration statement becomes effective and to hold the exchang
offer open for the period required by applicable law. See "The Exchange Offer."

The Exchange Offer
Hertz is offering to exchange up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2018, which have been registered under the Securitie
Act, or the "Exchange Notes," for any and all of the Notes.

You may only exchange Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, we will exchange the
Exchange Notes for all Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer and accepted for exchange.
We will cause the settlement of the exchange offer to be effected promptly after the
expiration of the exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer."
