Answer : HERTZ
The Hertz Corporation, a subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., is an American car rental company based in Estero, Florida, that operates approximately 12,000 corporate and franchisee locations, both domestically and internationally. The Hertz Corporation also owns Firefly Car Rental, and the former Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, which is now separated into the Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent A Car brands.
The company filed for bankruptcy on May 22, 2020, citing a sharp decline in revenue and future bookings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 1, 2021, the company is no longer in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
HISTORY
In 1918, an ambitious pioneer of auto renting named Walter Jacobs began what is now known as The Hertz Corporation. At the age of 22, Jacobs founded a car rental company with a mere 12 Model-Ts and set up shop just south of Chicago’s loop. He sold the company to John D. Hertz in 1923 but remained a prominent figure in the company until his retirement in 1960. Together, Jacobs and Hertz swiftly turned the small “Rent-a-Ford” company into a well-known brand.
By 1925, the company set up a coast-to-coast rental network to accommodate for the expanding boundaries of travel in the U.S. The next year, Hertz offered the first advanced reservations and a new program called Rail-Drive – a service in which Hertz provided a rental vehicle for vacationers right when they stepped off the train. Hertz soon began accommodating air travelers, opening the first airport rent-a-car facility at Chicago’s Midway Airport in 1932 and introducing Fly-Drive rental car program.
In 1950, Hertz opened its first European location in France. Just five years later, Hertz became the first rental company with 1,000 locations. Today, The Hertz Corporation has corporate, licensee and franchise locations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand.
