PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholder of The Hertz Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Hertz Corporation and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated interim statements of operations and of cash flows for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholder's equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 4, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated interim statements of operations and of cash flows, the Company changed its method of accounting for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 810. The accompanying December 31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects this change.

Note 1—Background, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

Background

The Hertz Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as "we," "our" and "us." The Hertz Corporation is also referred to herein as "Hertz." Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., our ultimate parent company, is referred to herein as "Hertz Holdings." Capitalized terms used in this Form 10-Q without definition have the meanings given in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on March 5, 2009, or the "Form 10-K."

We are a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967.

On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by:

•: Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., or "CD&R,"
•: The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and
•: Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity, or "MLGPE,"

or collectively the "Sponsors," acquired all of our common stock from Ford Holdings LLC for aggregate consideration of $4,379 million in cash, debt refinanced or assumed of $10,116 million and transaction fees and expenses of $447 million. We refer to the acquisition of all of our common stock by the Sponsors as the "Acquisition."

In November 2006, Hertz Holdings completed its initial public offering of 88,235,000 shares of its common stock. In June 2007, the Sponsors completed a secondary public offering of 51,750,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock.

In January 2009, Bank of America Corporation, or "Bank of America," acquired Merrill Lynch & Co., the parent company of MLGPE. Accordingly, Bank of America is now an indirect beneficial owner of Hertz Holdings' common stock held by MLGPE and certain of its affiliates.

2009 Hertz Holdings Offerings

In May and June 2009, Hertz Holdings completed a follow-on public offering of 52,900,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.50 per share with proceeds before underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $343.9 million, or the "Common Stock Public Offering."

In addition, in May 2009 Hertz Holdings entered into subscription agreements with investment funds affiliated with CD&R and Carlyle to purchase an additional 32,101,182 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.23 per share (the same price per share paid to Hertz Holdings by the underwriters in the Common Stock Public Offering) with proceeds to Hertz Holdings of approximately $200.0 million, or the "Private Offering." The Private Offering closed on July 7, 2009 and the 32,101,182 shares of its common stock were issued to the CD&R and Carlyle affiliated investment funds on the same date. Giving effect to the Common Stock Public Offering and the Private Offering, the Sponsors' ownership percentage in Hertz Holdings is approximately 51%.

Unaudited

In May and June 2009, Hertz Holdings also completed a public offering of an aggregate principal amount of $474,755,000 of 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2014, or the "Convertible Debt Public Offering."

Hertz Holdings used the net proceeds from the Common Stock Public Offering, the Private Offering and the Convertible Debt Public Offering, collectively the "2009 Hertz Holdings Offerings," to provide us a capital investment which we used to increase our liquidity and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of principal amounts with respect to maturing debt under the fleet financing facilities of certain of our consolidated subsidiaries.

See Note 7—Debt and Note 11—Total Equity.

Basis of Presentation

The significant accounting policies summarized in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Form 10-K, have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or "ASC," or "Codification," 810-10, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51," or "ASC 810-10," ASC 805, "Business Combinations," and ASC 820-10 "Fair Value Measurements."

The December 31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP."

In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current reporting, including those relating to noncontrolling interests which conform with the provisions of ASC 810-10, which became effective for us in January 2009.

For all periods presented in this Report we have revised our consolidated statements of cash flows to exclude the impact of non-cash purchases and sales of revenue earning equipment and property and equipment which were included in "accounts payable" or "receivables" at the end of the period. See Note 17 in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2009, or the "Second Quarter Form 10-Q."

passenger traffic, reduced consumer spending and volatile fuel prices. These conditions are expected to continue through the remainder of 2009. During 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, this resulted in a rapid decline in the volume of car rental and equipment rental transactions, soft industry pricing and until only recently an increase in depreciation and fleet related costs as a percentage of revenues and lower residual values for the non-program cars and equipment that we sold. "Non-program cars" mean cars not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs for which the car rental company is exposed to residual risk.

In response to the economic downturn, in 2008 we implemented aggressive strategic actions to reduce costs and improve liquidity. These actions included reducing wage and benefit costs through significant headcount reductions, accelerating fleet deletions and delaying additions to right-size the fleet to current demand levels and rationalizing our location footprint by closing a number of locations. We have developed additional plans for the remainder of 2009 in an effort to mitigate the impact of continued revenue declines on our results of operations, including reducing costs further through the additional headcount reductions that we announced in 2009, continuing to right-size our car and equipment rental fleet in response to the economic conditions, continued re-engineering of our processes, increasing prices and continuing to reduce the cost of acquiring our car and equipment rental fleet, among other actions.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $9,985.6 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Accordingly, we are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Acquisition and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures.

In 2009 we have also significantly addressed the fact that we had approximately $4.2 billion of our fleet debt that matures in 2010. We began addressing these liquidity needs at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter by completing the 2009 Hertz Holdings Offerings, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings received approximately $990 million of net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before offering expenses payable by Hertz Holdings. $200 million of the $990 million of net proceeds were received by Hertz Holdings during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

On September 18, 2009, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by us, completed the closing of a new variable funding note facility referred to as the Series 2009-1 Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, or the "Series 2009-1 Notes." The facility has an expected maturity date of January 2012 and a 3 month controlled amortization period beginning in November 2011. The aggregate principal amount of such facility is $2.1 billion and such facility is available to HVF on a revolving basis until the controlled amortization period begins in November 2011. As of September 30, 2009, we had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $300.0 million of Series 2009-1 Notes. This amount was subsequently paid in October 2009.

Immediately prior to the issuance of the Series 2009-1 Notes, HVF caused the termination of the series supplements and note purchase agreements relating to its Series 2005-3 Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, or the "Series 2005-3 Notes," Series 2005-4 Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, or the "Series 2005-4 Notes," and Series 2008-1 Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, or the "Series 2008-1 Notes," or the "Terminated VFNs," and caused the repayment and cancellation in full of the Terminated VFNs. The Terminated VFNs had expected final maturity dates ranging from November 2009 to November 2010 and we had an aggregate of approximately $2.0 billion of total capacity (prior to borrowing base or other limitations) under the Terminated VFNs. In effect we

replaced the $2.0 billion of total capacity under the Terminated VFNs with the $2.1 billion of capacity that we have under the Series 2009-1 Notes while extending the expected final maturity date to January 2012.

In October 2009 HVF issued $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of new medium term notes (3 and 5 year) Series 2009-2 rental car asset backed notes, or the "Series 2009-2 Notes." The 3 year notes carry a 4.26% coupon (4.30% yield) and the 5 year notes carry a 5.29% coupon (5.35% yield) with expected final maturities in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The advance rate on the notes is approximately 66%. In general, we expect to use the Series 2009-2 Notes to replace the Series 2005-1 and 2005-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, or the "2005 Notes," as they mature in 2010.

Based on all that we have been able to accomplish in the first 10 months of 2009, our current availability under our various credit facilities and our business plan, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our 2010 debt maturities. We still need to refinance approximately $1.7 billion of our international fleet debt that matures in December 2010 and we are currently in discussions with banks and lenders to review our refinancing options; however there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance this indebtedness on terms comparable to our recent refinancings, or at all.

The agreements governing our corporate indebtedness require us to comply with two key covenants based on a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio. Our failure to comply with the obligations contained in any agreements governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt becoming immediately due and payable and could further result in a cross default or cross acceleration of our debt issued under other instruments. However, as a result of the above-mentioned actions and planned future actions, we believe that we will remain in compliance with our corporate debt covenants and that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our corporate debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Chrysler LLC and General Motors Bankruptcies/Financial Status of Monoline Insurance Companies

Immediately prior to Chrysler LLC's bankruptcy, less than 1% of our fleet was comprised of Chrysler LLC vehicles, so its bankruptcy filing has not had a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

General Motors filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, which we will refer to as "Old General Motors," however we do not believe that this will have a material long-term impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations, because:

•: Old General Motors paid us, and New General Motors, as defined below, continues to pay us, all of the amounts owed under our repurchase programs;
•: With the approval of the bankruptcy court, Old General Motors assumed the vehicle repurchase programs it has with us and assigned the repurchase programs to a newly formed company referred to as "New General Motors";
•: New General Motors emerged from bankruptcy quickly; and

•: The resale value of vehicles manufactured by Old General Motors has not declined following its filing.

MBIA Insurance Corporation, or "MBIA," and Ambac Corporation, or "Ambac," provide credit enhancements in the form of financial guaranties for our 2005 Notes, with each providing guaranties for approximately half of the $3.2 billion in principal amount of the 2005 Notes that was outstanding as of September 30, 2009, all of which matures in 2010.

An event of bankruptcy with respect to MBIA or Ambac between now and November 2010 would result in an amortization event under the portion of the 2005 Notes guaranteed by the affected insurer. In addition, if an amortization event continues for 30 days or longer, the noteholders of the affected series of notes would have the right to require liquidation of a portion of the fleet sufficient to repay such notes, provided that the exercise of the right was exercised by a majority of the affected noteholders.

Since MBIA and Ambac are facing financial instability, have been downgraded one or more times and are on review for further credit downgrade or under developing outlook by one or more credit agencies, we did not have the Series 2009-1 Notes or the Series 2009-2 Notes guaranteed. Accordingly, if a bankruptcy of MBIA or Ambac were to occur prior to the 2005 Notes maturing, we expect that we would use our corporate liquidity and the borrowings under or proceeds from the Series 2009-1 Notes and the Series 2009-2 Notes to pay down the amounts owed under the affected series of 2005 Notes.

Note 2—Recently Issued and/or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or "FASB," issued The FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Codification became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On July 1, 2009, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became nonauthoritative.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, "Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets." This FSP has been incorporated into and contains amendments to ASC 715, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits," or "ASC 715," that are intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the types of assets and associated risks in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. These particular amendments to ASC 715 will become effective for us beginning with our annual report for the period ended December 31, 2009. We will provide the required disclosure requirements beginning December 31, 2009, as required, and we do not believe it will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No 46(R)," or "SFAS No. 167." SFAS No. 167 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The provisions of SFAS No. 167 become effective for us on January 1, 2010, and we do not believe that they will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 3—Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our fleet debt facilities, for our like-kind exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the portion of total restricted cash that was associated with our fleet debt facilities was $282.5 million and $557.2 million, respectively. The decrease in restricted cash associated with our fleet debt of $274.7 million from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009, primarily related to payments to reduce fleet debt and the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, was approximately $16.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, was approximately $49.7 million and $49.7 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of September 30, 2009, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $18.5 million for the remainder of 2009 and range from $59.4 million to $67.6 million for each of the next five fiscal years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we added 27 locations by acquiring former franchisees in our domestic and international car rental operations, as well as approximately 20 locations associated with our acquisition of Advantage Rent A Car and two locations related to an external acquisition done within our equipment rental operations. Total cash paid for intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $50.9 million, of this amount, $45.5 million was allocated to amortizable intangible assets, primarily comprised of the tradename and concession agreements associated with the Advantage Rent A Car acquisition and technology assets associated with the acquisition of Eileo, S.A., and $5.4 million was allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets

Each of these transactions has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP and operating results of the acquired entities from the dates of acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired is preliminary and subject to finalization. These acquisitions are not material, individually or collectively, to the consolidated amounts presented within our statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Note 5—Taxes on Income

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 56.8% and (27.7)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 11.1% and 57.0%, respectively. The provision for taxes on income of $49.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased from $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes and an increase in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized, partially offset by an increase in discrete benefits. The provision for taxes on income of $24.4 million in the in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased from $36.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to the decrease in income before income taxes, partially offset by an increase in discrete benefits and losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized. The negative effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to the impact of the application of inter-period accounting rules related to losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized and income in certain jurisdictions that is subject to lower tax rates.

Note 6—Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment includes the following (in millions of dollars):

		Three months ended September 30,

		2009		2008
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment		$	479.8	$	553.8
Adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of the equipment			1.3		20.7
Rents paid for vehicles leased			18.0		20.5

	Total	$	499.1	$	595.0

		Nine months ended September 30,

		2009		2008
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment		$	1,346.9	$	1,534.4
Adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of the equipment			68.1		53.8
Rents paid for vehicles leased			53.2		70.5

	Total	$	1,468.2	$	1,658.7

The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, reflects a net gain of $2.0 million and a net loss of $9.4 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and for the three months ended

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflects net losses of $3.3 million and $11.3 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations. The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, reflects net losses of $27.3 million and $39.7 million, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflects net losses of $40.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations.

Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net increases of $2.4 million and $14.4 million in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, depreciation rate changes in our equipment rental operations resulted in increases in depreciation expense of $2.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 40,900 and 55,600 non-program cars, respectively, a 26.4% year over year decrease primarily due to a lower average fleet size. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 107,900 and 162,000 non-program cars, respectively, a 33.4% year over year decrease primarily due to a lower average fleet size.

Note 7—Debt

Open Market Repurchases

In April 2009, we made aggregate open market repurchases, at a discount, of approximately $68.0 million and $81.5 million in face value of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. As a result of these repurchases, we recorded a gain of $48.5 million, net of transaction costs, in "Interest and other income, net" for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Canadian Fleet Financing Facility

In June 2009, our subsidiaries entered into a second omnibus amendment to our Canadian Fleet Financing Facility, reducing the facility limit from CAD$400 million (or $371.9 million, calculated using exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2009) to CAD$225 million (or $209.2 million), changing the maturity date from May 2012 to May 2011 and adding increases in commitment fees. Also, among other things, certain covenants pertaining to fleet composition were eliminated and certain limitations on the number of vehicles supplied by a single manufacturer which may be included in the borrowing base calculation were added.

Amendment and Restatement of U.S. Fleet Debt Program Documents

In September 2009, HVF entered into amendments and restatements, of many of the agreements relating to its U.S. asset-backed fleet debt, or collectively, the "U.S. Fleet Debt Program Documents," including:

•: the ABS Indenture;
•: a Third Amended and Restated Master Motor Vehicle Operating Lease and Servicing Agreement between Hertz, as Lessee and Servicer, and HVF, as Lessor;
•: a Third Amended and Restated Collateral Agency Agreement among HVF, as a Grantor, Hertz General Interest LLC, as a Grantor, Hertz, as Servicer, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and a Secured Party, and Hertz, as a Secured Party;
•: a Second Amended and Restated Participation, Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Hertz General Interest LLC, HVF and Hertz, as Lessee and Servicer;
•: a Second Amended and Restated Administration Agreement by and between Hertz, HVF and the Trustee;
•: a Second Amended and Restated Master Exchange Agreement among Hertz, HVF, Hertz General Interest LLC, Hertz Car Exchange Inc., and DB Services Tennessee, Inc.; and
•: a Second Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement among Hertz, HVF, Hertz General Interest LLC, Hertz Car Exchange Inc., and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Among other things, these amendments (i) give HVF the ability, subject to certain conditions, to issue series of notes secured by segregated pools of collateral pledged to support only such series; (ii) modify the conditions precedent to HVF issuing a new series of notes under the ABS Indenture; (iii) modify certain conditions precedent to the amendment of the ABS Indenture, series supplements and certain of the other U.S. Fleet Debt Program Documents; (iv) provide that if certain events of default with respect to manufacturers of vehicles subject to repurchase programs (each, a "Manufacturer Event of Default") are cured, the effects of such events of default on the U.S. Fleet Debt Program Documents generally cease; (v) provide that if a Manufacturer Event of Default occurs, the related manufacturer does not cease to be an eligible manufacturer, thereby allowing HVF to finance a greater proportion of vehicles manufactured by such manufacturer during a Manufacturer Event of Default and (vi) give HVF the ability, subject to certain conditions, to issue one or more series of notes that would be subordinated in rights to payment of interest and principal to each other series of notes outstanding

Amendment of 2005-1 Notes

In addition, on September 18, 2009, HVF entered into amendments to the series supplements relating to its 2005 Notes. Among other things, the amendments with respect to each such series supplement add new concentration limits and change existing concentration limits for vehicles manufactured by certain manufacturers.

Series 2009-1 Notes

In September 2009, HVF issued the Series 2009-1 Notes. The aggregate principal amount of such facility is $2.1 billion and this facility is available to HVF on a revolving basis through the expected final maturity

date of January 2012 with a January 2013 legal final maturity. The Series 2009-1 Notes are expected to bear interest at variable rates based upon the weighted average of the commercial paper rates paid by the bank conduits advancing funds to HVF plus a borrowing spread which varies based on the rating of the Series 2009-1 Notes. The borrowing spread on the Series 2009-1 Notes is subject to increase if Moody's Investors Service, or "Moody's," downgrades their rating of the Series 2009-1 Notes below "Aa3." The borrowing spread on the Series 2009-1 Notes is also subject to increase during the continuance of an amortization event with respect to the Series 2009-1 Notes. The Series 2009-1 Notes are currently rated "Aa1" by Moody's. The Series 2009-1 Notes are subject to events of default and amortization events that are customary in nature for U.S. rental car asset-backed securitizations of this type, including non-payment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, failure to maintain certain enhancement levels, failure to maintain an interest rate hedge and insolvency or certain bankruptcy events. The occurrence of an amortization event or event of default could result in the rapid amortization of the Series 2009-1 Notes and in certain instances the liquidation of vehicles in the U.S. car rental fleet. As of September 30, 2009, we had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $300.0 million of Series 2009-1 Notes. This amount was subsequently paid in October 2009.

In connection with the issuance of the Series 2009-1 Notes, HVF purchased a 5% interest rate cap. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

Immediately prior to the issuance of the Series 2009-1 Notes, HVF terminated the series supplements and note purchase agreements relating to its Series 2005-3 Notes, Series 2005-4 Notes and Series 2008-1 Notes and caused the repayment and cancellation in full of such notes.

Series 2009-2 Notes

On October 23, 2009, HVF issued $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of Series 2009-2 Notes. See Note 17—Subsequent Events.

(1): Our "U.S. Fleet Debt" as of September 30, 2009, consisted of our 2005 Notes and our Series 2009-1 Notes. For all periods prior to September 30, 2009 it also included the Terminated VFNs.
(2): "Capitalized Leases" include capitalized lease financings outstanding in the United Kingdom (previously referred to as the "U.K. Leveraged Financing"), Australia and Netherlands.

The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for each of the twelve-month periods ending September 30 (in millions of dollars) are as follows: 2010, $4,836.1 (including $2,400.6 of other short-term borrowings); 2011, $1,036.1; 2012, $176.4; 2013, $1,362.1; 2014, $2,080.6; after 2014, $546.4.

Our short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2009 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under our International Fleet Debt facility, International ABS Fleet Financing Facility, Fleet Financing Facility, Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility, Canadian Fleet Financing Facility, Belgian Fleet Financing Facility and Capitalized Leases. These amounts are considered short-term in nature since they have maturity dates of three months or less; however these facilities are revolving in nature and do not expire at the time of the short-term debt maturity. In addition, we include certain scheduled payments of principal under our ABS Program as short-term borrowings.

As of September 30, 2009, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $532.7 million. Of this amount, $264.0 million has been issued for the benefit of the ABS Program ($200.0 million of which was issued by Ford Motor Company, or "Ford," and $64.0 million of which was used under the Senior Credit Facilities) and the remainder is primarily to support self-insurance programs (including insurance policies with respect to which we have indemnified the policy issuers for any losses) in the United States, Canada and Europe and to support airport concession obligations in the United States and Canada. As of September 30, 2009, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

As of September 30, 2009, Capitalized Leases have maturities ranging from October 2009 to February 2013.

Guarantees and Security

There have been no material changes to the guarantees and security provisions of the debt instruments and credit facilities under which our indebtedness as of September 30, 2009 has been issued from the terms as disclosed in our Form 10-K except as mentioned below.

The Series 2009-1 Notes are secured by, among other things, a pledge in certain collateral owned by HVF, including (i) the majority of the U.S. car rental fleet that we use in our daily rental operations, (ii) with respect to the portion of those vehicles subject to repurchase programs with vehicle manufacturers, the related manufacturer receivables, (iii) all rights of HVF under a master lease agreement between HVF and Hertz, and (iv) all monies on deposit from time to time in certain collection and cash collateral accounts and all proceeds thereof. The assets of HVF, including the U.S. car rental fleet owned by HVF, will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors.

Covenants

Certain of our debt instruments and credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with

affiliates. Some of these agreements also require the maintenance of certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of these financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2009, we had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1,362.0 million pursuant to our Senior Term Facility and no amounts outstanding in our Senior ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2009, Hertz was required under the Senior Term Facility to have a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.50:1 and a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio of not less than 2.00:1. In addition, under our Senior ABL Facility, if there was less than $200 million of available borrowing capacity under that facility as of September 30, 2009, Hertz was required to have a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.50:1 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the quarter then ended. Under the Senior Term Facility, as of September 30, 2009, we had a consolidated leverage ratio of 4.39:1 and a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio of 2.56:1. Since we had maintained sufficient borrowing capacity under our Senior ABL Facility as of September 30, 2009, and expect to maintain such capacity in the future, the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was not deemed relevant for presentation. For further information on the terms of our senior credit facilities, see Note 3 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Derivatives

We utilize certain derivative instruments to enhance our ability to manage risks relating to cash flow and interest rate exposure. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

As of September 30, 2009, the Senior Term Facility had approximately $1.6 million available under the letter of credit facility and the Senior ABL Facility had $151.9 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit.

Our liquidity as of September 30, 2009 was approximately $5,063.0 million, which consisted of $922.4 million of cash, $1,013.2 million of unused commitments under our Senior ABL Facility and $3,127.4 million of unused commitments under our fleet debt facilities. Taking into consideration the borrowing base limitations in our Senior ABL Facility and in our fleet debt facilities, the amount that we had available for immediate use as of September 30, 2009 under our Senior ABL Facility was $1,013.2 million and we had $678.9 million available under our various fleet debt facilities. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2009, we had $2,614.5 million ($922.4 million in cash, $1,013.2 million available under our Senior ABL Facility and $678.9 million available under our various fleet debt facilities) in liquidity that was available for our immediate use. Future availability of borrowings under these facilities will depend on borrowing base requirements and other factors, many of which are outside our control.

As of September 30, 2009, substantially all of our assets were pledged under one or more of the facilities noted above.

Accrued Interest

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued interest was $72.3 million and $131.4 million, respectively, which is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Accrued liabilities."

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time, we make contributions beyond those legally required. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we contributed to and made benefit payments of $11.7 million and $28.9 million, respectively, to our funded worldwide plans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our contributions to and benefit payments through unfunded plans were $9.7 million and $29.6 million, respectively. Of the contributions to worldwide plans, we contributed $6.5 million to the U.S. defined benefit plans during the three months ended September 30, 2009. No contributions were made to the U.S. plans during the same period in the previous year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we made discretionary contributions of $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The amounts contributed to the U.K. plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, were $4.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively. We expect to contribute $42.6 million to our U.S. pension plan during 2009, including $13.0 million contributed during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $14.2 million contributed in October 2009, and $15.4 million to be contributed later in the fourth quarter of 2009. These contributions are necessary primarily because of the significant decline in asset values in 2008.

We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans administered by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. In the ordinary course of our renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we could decide to discontinue participation in a plan, and in that event, we could face a withdrawal liability. Some multiemployer plans, including one in which we participate, are reported to have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability.

Note 9—Stock-Based Compensation

In February 2009, Hertz Holdings granted 2,115,000 Restricted Stock Units, or "RSUs," to key executives and employees at fair values ranging from $2.75 to $3.24 and 3,819,739 Performance Stock Units, or "PSUs," at a fair value of $3.24, including a grant of 1,724,363 PSUs to Mark P. Frissora, our Chief Executive Officer. RSUs granted in 2009 generally have the terms set forth in the Hertz Global

Holdings, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the "Omnibus Plan," however in the event of an employee's death or disability (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), a pro rata portion of the RSUs that would have vested on the next anniversary of the grant date will vest and the remainder of the RSUs will be canceled.

In February 2009, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 52,500 shares of its common stock to certain executives at an exercise price of $3.24 under the Omnibus Plan.

In May 2009, Hertz Holdings granted 505,500 RSUs to key employees at fair values ranging from $6.45 to $8.38. Hertz Holdings also granted 155,588 shares of its common stock to non-management directors or their assignees.

In July and August 2009, Hertz Holdings granted 25,000 RSUs to key executives and employees at fair values ranging from $9.44 to $11.02.

The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Prior Plans (as defined below) and the Omnibus Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized compensation cost of approximately $9.1 million ($5.6 million, net of tax) and $25.6 million ($15.7 million, net of tax), respectively, pursuant to the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Prior Plans," and the Omnibus Plan including the cost of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs. As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $63.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, RSUs, and PSUs granted by Hertz Holdings under the Prior Plans and the Omnibus Plan, including costs related to modifying the exercise prices of certain option grants in order to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law, to reflect special cash dividends of $4.32 per share paid on June 30, 2006 and $1.12 per share paid on November 21, 2006. These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over the remaining 1.4 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Note 10—Segment Information

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental of cars and light trucks, or "car rental"; and rental of industrial, construction and material handling equipment, or "equipment rental."

Adjusted pre-tax income is the measure utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. We believe this measure best reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus other reconciling items, non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. The contribution of our reportable segments to revenues and adjusted pre-tax income and the reconciliation to consolidated revenues and

Note 12—Restructuring

As part of our ongoing effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and business process re-engineering to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations and evaluating potential outsourcing opportunities. When we make adjustments to our workforce and operations, we may incur incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increasing our operating efficiency and reducing the costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness. For further information on the actions taken in 2007 and 2008, see Note 12 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

In January 2009, we announced that, as part of a comprehensive plan to further decrease costs and as a result of reduced rental demand, we were reducing our global workforce by more than 4,000 employees beginning in the fourth quarter 2008 and continuing through the first quarter of 2009, more than half of whom are not eligible for severance benefits. We incurred job reductions in the car and equipment rental businesses, corporate and support areas, and in all geographies, with an emphasis on eliminating non-customer facing jobs. Related to these location closures and continued cost reduction initiatives, we incurred restructuring charges for employee termination liabilities covering approximately 1,500 employee separations in the fourth quarter of 2008.

During the first and second quarters of 2009, our equipment rental business incurred charges mainly for losses on disposal of surplus equipment and recognition of facility lease obligations related to previously announced U.S. branch closures that were completed during the quarters. Our North American and European car rental businesses incurred charges mainly for facility lease obligations related to previously announced off-airport location closures that were completed during the quarters. In the first quarter of 2009, our European car rental business also eliminated certain specialty rental equipment as a future cost reduction initiative and incurred related lease termination costs. The first and second quarter 2009 restructuring charges included employee termination liabilities covering approximately 500 and 600 employees, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2009, our equipment rental business incurred charges mainly for costs related to facility lease obligations for previously closed branches and additional losses on the disposal of remaining surplus equipment related to these locations. Our European car rental business incurred employee termination benefits costs associated with the migration of work to the European shared service center and the creation of two regions to manage our country operations. Additionally, our European car rental business recognized a loss on sale of a building due to reduced office space needs resulting from headcount reductions. During the quarter, restructuring charges included employee termination liabilities covering approximately 300 employees globally.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $35.7 million which was composed of $18.8 million of involuntary termination benefits, $11.2 million in facility closures and lease obligation costs, $2.7 million in asset impairment charges, $0.8 million in pension liability settlements, $0.8 million in relocation and $1.4 million of other restructuring charges.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $87.2 million which was composed of $37.4 million of involuntary termination benefits, $23.2 million in facility closures and lease obligation costs, $8.7 million in asset impairment charges, $6.9 million in consulting costs, $4.5 million in lease termination costs, $2.3 million in relocation costs, $1.7 million in contract termination costs and $2.5 million of other restructuring charges.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $74.9 million, which was composed of $38.5 million of involuntary termination benefits, $23.5 million in asset impairment charges, $7.9 million in facility lease obligations, $2.2 million in consulting costs, $0.2 million in pension settlement loss and $2.6 million of other restructuring charges.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $127.2 million, which was composed

Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives may be developed during the fourth quarter of 2009 and in 2010. However, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses.

Note 13—Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Fair value approximates the amount indicated on the balance sheet at September 30, 2009 because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Money market accounts, the fair value of which at September 30, 2009, is measured using Level 1 inputs, totaling $345.0 million and $275.6 million are included in "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Restricted cash," respectively.

Debt

For borrowings with an initial maturity of 93 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities. The aggregate fair value of all debt at September 30, 2009 approximated $9,917.5 million, compared to its aggregate carrying value of $10,037.7 million. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2008 approximated $7,968.3 million, compared to its aggregate carrying value of $11,033.9 million.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, our subsidiary HVF entered into certain interest rate swap agreements, or the "HVF Swaps," effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with GAAP. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 2010. Under these agreements, until February 2009, HVF was paying monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly interest at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. In March 2009, HVF made a cash payment to have the fixed rate on these swaps reset to the then current market rates of 0.872% and 1.25% for the swaps maturing in February 2010 and November 2010, respectively. $80.4 million of this payment was made to an affiliate of MLGPE which is a counterparty to the HVF Swaps. Concurrently with this payment, the hedging relationship was de-designated and the amount remaining in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" associated with this cash flow hedging relationship was frozen and will be amortized into "Interest expense" over the respective terms of the associated debt in accordance with GAAP. We expect to amortize approximately $83.6 million from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into "Interest expense" over the next twelve months. Additionally, a new hedging relationship was designated between the HVF Swaps and the remaining $2,825.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, which also qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting in accordance with GAAP. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we measure ineffectiveness by comparing the fair value of the HVF Swaps and the fair value of hypothetical swaps, with similar terms, using the Hypothetical Method in accordance with GAAP. The hypothetical swaps represent a perfect hedge of the variability in interest payments associated with the U.S. Fleet Debt. Subsequent to the resetting of the swaps at current market rates, we anticipate that there will be no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship because the critical terms of the HVF Swaps match the terms of the hypothetical swaps.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $22.4 million and $52.2 million, respectively, in our consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest expense," associated with the amortization of the amount remaining in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" associated with the de-designation of the cash flow hedging relationship described above. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded an expense of $2.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively, in our consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest expense," associated with the ineffectiveness of the HVF Swaps. The ineffectiveness in 2008 resulted from a decline in the value of the HVF Swaps due to a decrease in forward interest rates along with a decrease in the time value

component as we approached the maturity dates of the HVF Swaps. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the HVF Swaps is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss." As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," net of tax, was a loss of $65.2 million (net of tax of $41.5 million) and a loss of $89.6 million (net of tax of $57.4 million), respectively. The fair values of the HVF Swaps were calculated using the income approach and applying observable market data (i.e. the 1-month LIBOR yield curve and credit default swap spreads).

In connection with the entrance into the HVF Swaps, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the "differential swaps." These differential swaps were required to be put in place to protect the counterparties to the HVF Swaps in the event of an "amortization event" under the asset-backed notes agreements. In the event of an "amortization event," the amount by which the principal balance on the floating rate portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt is reduced, exclusive of the originally scheduled amortization, becomes the notional amount of the differential swaps and is transferred to Hertz. There was no payment associated with these differential swaps and their notional amounts are and will continue to be zero unless (1) there is an amortization event, which causes the amortization of the loan balance, or (2) the debt is prepaid.

An "event of bankruptcy" (as defined in the ABS Base Indenture) with respect to MBIA or Ambac would constitute an "amortization event" under the portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt facilities guaranteed by the affected insurer.

On September 12, 2008, a supplement was signed to the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2006, between HVF and the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. This supplement created the Series 2008-1 Notes for issuance by HVF. In order to satisfy rating agency requirements related to its bankruptcy-remote status, HVF acquired an interest rate cap in an amount equal to the Series 2008-1 Notes maximum principal amount of $825.0 million with a strike rate of 7% and a term until August 15, 2011. HVF bought the cap on the date the supplement was signed for $0.4 million and in an associated transaction, we sold an equal and opposite cap for $0.3 million. In connection with the issuance of the Series 2009-1 Notes, HVF caused the termination of the Series 2008-1 Notes, as well as both of the associated interest rate caps.

On September 18, 2009, HVF completed the closing of the Series 2009-1 Notes. In order to satisfy rating agency requirements related to its bankruptcy-remote status, HVF purchased an interest rate cap, for $11.7 million, with a maximum notional amount equal to the Series 2009-1 Notes maximum principal amount of $2.1 billion with a strike rate of 5% and a term until January 25, 2013. Additionally, we sold a 5% interest rate cap, for $6.5 million, with a notional amount equal to 33.3% of the notional amount of the HVF cap through January 2012, and then subsequently with a matching notional amount to the HVF cap through its maturity date of January 25, 2013. The fair value of these interest rate caps was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these interest rate caps are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, our subsidiary HIL purchased two swaptions for €3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions gave HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed twice in 2007, prior to their scheduled expiration dates of March 15, 2007 and September 5, 2007, at a total cost of €2.7 million, and expired on June 5, 2008. The fair values of the HIL

swaptions were calculated using the income approach and applying observable market data. On June 4, 2008, these swaptions were sold for a realized gain of €9.4 million (or $14.8 million). Additionally, on June 4, 2008, HIL purchased two new swaptions for €8.6 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases associated with the International ABS Fleet Financing Facility, which closed on July 24, 2008. These swaptions were based on an underlying transaction with a notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.25%. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the swaptions was €5.3 million (or $7.6 million), which is reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the fair value adjustments related to these swaptions were gains of $15.0 million (unrealized loss on the new swaptions) and a gain of $2.8 million ($14.8 million realized gain on the sale of the old swaptions and a net $12.0 million unrealized loss on the old and new swaptions), respectively, which were recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. On October 10, 2008, the outstanding swaptions were terminated and Hertz received a €1.9 million payment from counterparties.

We purchase unleaded gasoline at prevailing market rates. In January 2009, we began a program to manage our exposure to changes in prices through the use of derivative commodity instruments. In July 2009, we executed additional swaps to cover a portion of our exposure through June 2010. We presently hedge a portion of our overall gasoline purchases with commodity swaps and have contracts in place that settle on a monthly basis. As of September 30, 2009, our outstanding commodity instruments totaled approximately 7.7 million gallons. The fair value of these commodity instruments was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these commodity instruments are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred. We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange options are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of September 30, 2009, were approximately $0.3 million and we limit counterparties to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the total notional amount of these foreign exchange options was $2.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively, maturing through February 2010, and the fair value of all outstanding foreign exchange options, was approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which was recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." The fair value of the foreign exchange options was calculated using a discounted cash flow method and applying observable market data. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these options are included in our results of operations in the periods incurred.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans which are intended to offset the impact of foreign currency movements on the underlying intercompany loan obligations. As a result, the forward contracts have no material impact on our results of operations. As of September 30, 2009, the total notional amount of these forward contracts was $926.1 million, maturing within two months.

On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our international operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, losses of $23.9 million (net of tax of $17.9 million) and $15.7 million (net of tax of $12.6 million), respectively, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss."

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

Relationship with Hertz Holdings, Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors

Other than as disclosed below, in the three months ended September 30, 2009, there were no material changes to our relationship with Hertz Holdings, Hertz Investors, Inc. or the Sponsors.

Director Compensation Policy

Several of our and Hertz Holdings' directors are employed by or affiliated with Hertz Holdings' Sponsors. In October 2006, our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings approved a compensation policy for the members of our board and the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings, the "Director Compensation Policy". Pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy the directors who are not our or Hertz Holdings' employees each received a $150,000 annual retainer fee, of which 40% (i.e., $60,000) was payable in cash and 60% (i.e., $90,000) was payable in the form of stock options having a Black-Scholes value equal to such dollar amount.

In May 2009, our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings approved an amendment to the Director Compensation Policy, whereby the equity portion of the annual retainer fee will now be paid in the form of shares of Hertz Holdings common stock instead of options. In addition, our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings also passed a resolution reducing the annual retainer fee by 20% for the period from May 2009 to May 2010 or such earlier date as Hertz Holdings fully restores the salary reductions of its officers. In the fall of 2009, Hertz Holdings fully restored the salary reductions of its officers and accordingly, the annual retainer fee for the Board of Directors will also be restored on a going forward basis.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of expense relating to the Director Compensation Policy in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of expense relating to the Director Compensation Policy in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

On June 29, 2007, we entered into a master loan agreement with Hertz Holdings. The maximum amount which may be borrowed by us under this facility is $100 million. The facility expires on June 29, 2012, or on an earlier date if mutually agreed by both parties. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus the margin in effect for the Eurocurrency Loans under our Senior ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2009, $15.6 million in borrowings were outstanding.

Other Sponsor Relationships

In May and June 2009, Merrill Lynch & Co., an affiliate of one of our Sponsors, MLGPE, acted as an underwriter in the Common Stock Public Offering and in the Convertible Debt Public Offering, for which they received customary fees and expenses.

In May 2009 Hertz Holdings entered into subscription agreements with investment funds affiliated with CD&R and Carlyle to purchase an additional 32,101,182 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.23 per share (the same price per share paid to Hertz Holdings by the underwriters in the Common Stock Public Offering) with proceeds to us of approximately $200.0 million. The Private Offering closed on July 7, 2009 and the 32,101,182 shares of its common stock were issued to the CD&R and Carlyle affiliated investment funds on the same date. Giving effect to the Common Stock Public Offering and the Private Offering, the Sponsors' ownership percentage in Hertz Holdings is approximately 51%.

Banc of America Securities LLC, an affiliate of MLGPE acted as one of the joint lead bookrunners in the issuance of the Series 2009-2 Notes, for which they received customary fees and expenses.

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnifications for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in "Accrued liabilities" were $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Legal Proceedings

Below is a brief description of those legal proceedings that we believe may result in a material contingency. For a detailed description of these legal proceedings please see Note 10 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Other Consumer or Supplier Class Actions

1.: Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or "HERC," Loss Damage Waiver

On August 15, 2006, Davis Landscape, Ltd., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Davis Landscape, Ltd., purported to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons and business entities who rented equipment from HERC and who paid a Loss Damage Waiver, or "LDW," charge. The plaintiff sought an unspecified amount of statutory damages under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages with the return of all LDW charges paid, declaratory relief and an injunction prohibiting HERC from engaging in acts with respect to the LDW charge that violated the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. The complaint also asked for attorneys' fees and costs.

2.: Concession Fee Recoveries

On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan, PhD. and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Sobel purported to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz or Enterprise Rent-A-Car, or "Enterprise," at airports in Nevada and whom Hertz or Enterprise charged

airport concession recovery fees. The plaintiffs sought an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz and Enterprise from quoting or charging any of the fees prohibited by Nevada law. The complaint also asked for attorneys' fees and costs.

3.: Telephone Consumer Protection Act

On May 3, 2007, Fun Services of Kansas City, Inc., individually and as the representative of a class of similarly-situated persons, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation was commenced in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Fun Services purported to be a class action on behalf of all persons in Kansas and throughout the United States who on or after four years prior to the filing of the action were sent facsimile messages of advertising materials relating to the availability of property, goods or services by HERC and who did not provide express permission for sending such faxes. In August 2009, the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas—where the case is now venued—issued an Order Granting Joint Motion to Stay Proceedings pending the outcome of another Telephone Consumer Protection Act case that is currently before the Kansas Supreme Court.

4.: California Tourism Assessments

On November 14, 2007, Michael Shames, Gary Gramkow, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of all persons similarly situated v. The Hertz Corporation, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Avis Budget Group, Inc., Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc., Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, Fox Rent A Car, Inc., Coast Leasing Corp., The California Travel and Tourism Commission, and Caroline Beteta was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Shames purported to be a class action brought on behalf of all individuals or entities that purchased rental car services from a defendant at a California situs airport after January 1, 2007. The complaint alleged that the defendants agreed to charge consumers a 2.5% assessment and not to compete with respect to this assessment, while misrepresenting that this assessment is owed by consumers, rather than the rental car defendants, to the California Travel and Tourism Commission. The complaint also alleges that defendants agreed to pass through to consumers a fee known as the Airport Concession Fee, which fee had previously been required to be included in the rental car defendants' individual base rates, without reducing their base rates. Based on these allegations, the complaint sought treble damages, disgorgement, injunctive relief, interest, attorneys' fees, and costs.

On December 13, 2007, Thomas J. Comiskey, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Avis Budget Group, Inc., Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc., Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., Advantage Rent-A-Car, Inc., Avalon Global Group, The Hertz Corporation, Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, Fox Rent A Car, Inc., Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car, Inc., Rent4Less, Inc., Autorent Car Rental, Inc., Pacific Rent-A-Car, Inc., ABC Rent-A-Car, Inc., The California Travel and Tourism Commission, and Dale E. Bonner was commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Comiskey purported to be a class action brought on behalf of all persons and entities that have paid an assessment since the inception of the Passenger Car Rental Industry Tourism Assessment Program in California on January 1, 2007. On December 14, 2007, Isabel S. Cohen filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California a complaint virtually identical to that filed in Comiskey. In February 2008, the court consolidated Comiskey and Cohen, captioned the consolidated action "In re Tourism Assessment Fee Litigation," and ordered the plaintiffs to serve a single

consolidated class action complaint. In March 2009, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit seeking to overturn the District Court's entry of final judgment and the District Court's order denying plaintiffs' Ex Parte Motion for Leave to File a Motion for Relief from Judgment Pursuant to FRCP 59(e) and/or for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and will defend ourselves vigorously.

In addition, we are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. In the aggregate, we can be expected to expend material sums to defend and settle public liability and property damage actions and claims or to pay judgments resulting from them.

In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but it could be material in the period in which it is recorded.

Note 16—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, of (a) The Hertz Corporation, or "the Parent"; (b) the guarantor subsidiaries; (c) the non-guarantor subsidiaries; (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (e) the Company on a consolidated basis.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the guarantor subsidiaries have not been provided as management believes the following information is sufficient, as the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries are pledged under the Senior Credit Facilities, and consequently will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The 3 year notes carry a 4.26% coupon (4.30% yield) and the 5 year notes carry a 5.29% coupon (5.35% yield) with expected final maturities in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The advance rate on the notes is approximately 66%. In general, we will use the Series 2009-2 Notes to replace the 2005 Notes as they mature in 2010.

Results of Operations (Continued)

Overview of Our Business

We are engaged principally in the business of renting cars and renting equipment.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

•: Car rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated car rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage and other products);
•: Equipment rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated equipment rental operations, including amounts charged to customers for the fueling and delivery of equipment and sale of loss damage waivers); and
•: Other revenues (fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and revenues from our car leasing operations and our third-party claim management services).

Our equipment rental business also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables.

Our expenses primarily consist of:

•: Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; the cost of new equipment and consumables purchased for resale; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning equipment, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);
•: Depreciation expense relating to revenue earning equipment (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such equipment). Revenue earning equipment includes cars and rental equipment;
•: Selling, general and administrative expenses (including advertising); and
•: Interest expense.

The car and equipment rental industries are significantly influenced by general economic conditions. In the final three months of 2008 and continuing in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, both the car and equipment rental markets experienced unprecedented declines due to the precipitous slowdown in consumer spending as well as significantly reduced demand for industrial and construction equipment. The car rental industry is also significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry, and, particularly, in airline passenger traffic while the equipment rental segment is being impacted by the difficult economic and business environment as investment in commercial construction and the industrial markets slow. The United States and international markets are currently experiencing a significant decline in economic activities, including a tightening of the credit markets, reduced airline passenger traffic, reduced consumer spending and volatile fuel prices. These conditions are expected to continue through the remainder of 2009. During 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, this resulted in a rapid decline in the volume of car rental and equipment rental transactions, soft industry pricing and until only recently an increase in depreciation and fleet related costs as a percentage of revenues and lower residual values for the non-program cars and equipment that we sold. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K and our Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of cars and equipment or interest rates can also have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Continued)

ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to have an overall strategy of increasing the proportion of non-program cars we have in our worldwide fleet. However in 2008, given the recent economic downturn described above, we sold a higher proportion of non-program cars during the third quarter, when the used car market is traditionally stronger, to reduce exposure to residual value declines in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2008, the percentage of non-program cars in the U.S. fleet decreased from 58% to 46% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007; however, the percentage of non-program cars increased slightly internationally and for the year ended December 31, 2008, the percentage of non-program cars in our international fleet was 41%, compared to 35% for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the U.S., as of September 30, 2009, the percentage of non-program cars was 66% as compared to 59% as of September 30, 2008. Internationally, as of September 30, 2009, the percentage of non-program cars was 58%, compared to 55% as of September 30, 2008.

Our per car vehicle depreciation costs in the United States for 2008 increased approximately 6% from our per car vehicle depreciation costs for 2007 and increased approximately 20% in Europe year-over-year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our per car vehicle depreciation costs decreased 1% and increased 16% in the United States and Europe, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. We expect our per car vehicle depreciation costs for the full year of 2009 in the United States to be slightly lower than 2008 and in Europe to be higher than 2008. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and the use of our information technology systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third is fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $35.7 million and $87.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our consolidated statement of operations included restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $74.9 million and $127.2 million, respectively.

Additional efficiency and cost saving initiatives may be developed during the remainder of 2009 and in 2010. However, we presently do not have firm plans or estimates of any related expenses. See Note 12 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we experienced a 9.3% decrease in transaction days versus the prior period in the United States, and rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," was down 2.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, in our European operations, we experienced a low double digit decline in transaction days and our car rental RPD was below the level of our RPD during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, based on publicly available information, we believe some U.S. car rental brands experienced declines in transaction days with varying RPD changes compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Our U.S. off-airport operations represented $722.8 million and $758.2 million of our total car rental revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, we had 1,643 off-airport locations. In the balance of 2009 and subsequent years, our strategy will

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Continued)

include selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. Our strategy includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at a lower RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long-term strategy to generate profitable growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location's replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues and, as a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operations.

HERC experienced lower equipment rental volumes and pricing worldwide for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, based on publicly available information, we believe the majority of the U.S. equipment rental industry experienced reduced or decreased volumes and downward pricing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (excluding additions relating to acquisitions), HERC had net decreases of five U.S. locations and 14 European locations, an increase of one location in China and no change in the number of locations in Canada.

(a): Transaction days represents the total number of days that vehicles were on rent in a given period.
(b): Car rental rate revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the U.S. and certain ancillary revenue. Rental rate revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management as it represents the best measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The optional insurance products are packaged within certain negotiated corporate, government and membership programs and within certain retail rates being charged. Based upon these existing programs and rate packages, management believes that these optional insurance products should be consistently included in the daily pricing of car rental transactions. On the other hand, non-rental rate revenue items such as refueling and concession pass-through expense items are driven by factors beyond the control of management (i.e. the price of fuel and the concession fees charged by airports). Additionally, NeverLost units are an optional revenue product which management does not consider to be part of their daily pricing of car rental transactions. The following table reconciles our car rental

(c): Adjusted pre-tax income is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. Adjusted pre-tax income is the measure utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. Management believes this measure best reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. The following table reconciles income before income taxes by segment to adjusted pre-tax income by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in millions of dollars):

Such costs include transition costs incurred in connection with our business process outsourcing arrangements and incremental costs incurred to facilitate business process re-engineering initiatives that involve significant organization redesign and extensive operational process changes.
(4): Represents unrealized loss on our Hertz International Ltd., or "HIL," interest rate swaptions.
(5): Represents decreases in the employee vacation accrual during the three months ended September 30, 2008 relating to a change in our U.S. vacation policy in 2007 which provides for vacation entitlement to be earned ratably throughout the year versus the previous policy which provided for full vesting on January 1 each year.

(d): Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our equipment rental revenue to our equipment rental and rental related revenue (based on December 31, 2008 foreign exchange rates) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended September 30,

(e): Same store revenue growth represents the change in the current period total same store revenue over the prior period total same store revenue as a percentage of the prior period. The same store revenue amounts are adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends.

Total revenues decreased 15.7% (13.4% excluding the effects of foreign currency) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Revenues from our car rental operations decreased 11.4%, primarily as a result of a 5.8% decrease in car rental transaction days worldwide, the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $48.5 million, lower RPD described below and decreases of $41.1 million and $13.3 million in refueling fees and airport concession recovery fees, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Continued)

RPD for worldwide car rental for the three months ended September 30, 2009 declined 1.9% from the same period in 2008, due to a decline in U.S. RPD of 3.4%, partly offset by an increase in International RPD of 0.8%. U.S. airport RPD declined by 2.1% and U.S. off-airport RPD declined by 4.1%.

Revenues from our equipment rental operations decreased 35.3%, primarily due to a 28.7% decrease in equipment rental volume, an 8.6% decline in pricing and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $5.7 million.

Revenues from all other sources decreased 15.4%, primarily due to a decrease in car rental licensee revenue of $5.6 million, including the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.4 million.

		Total expenses	$	1,954.4		$	2,395.8		$	(441.4	)		(18.4	)%

Total expenses decreased 18.4%, and total expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 98.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 95.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Direct operating expenses decreased 17.3% as a result of decreases in fleet related expenses, other direct operating expenses and personnel related expenses.

Fleet related expenses decreased $96.7 million, or 27.6%. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in fleet levels as a result of decreased worldwide rental volume which resulted in decreases in gasoline costs of $54.4 million, vehicle damage and maintenance costs of $15.6 million, self-insurance expense of $14.1 million and equipment rental delivery costs of $6.6 million. These decreases include the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $9.7 million.

Other direct operating expenses decreased $89.7 million, or 14.8%. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in fleet levels as a result of decreased worldwide rental volume which resulted in decreases in restructuring and restructuring related costs of $33.9 million, equipment rental cost of goods sold of $14.8 million, field incentive compensation of $12.5 million, concession fees in our car rental operations of $12.2 million, facility expenses of $10.8 million and charge card fees of $4.0 million. These decreases include the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $15.0 million.

Personnel related expenses decreased $46.8 million, or 11.9%. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in wages and benefits related to restructuring of $53.7 million, including the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $7.4 million, partly offset by an increase in incentive compensation of $9.9 million.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our car rental operations of $425.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 15.6% from $504.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average fleet operated, higher net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used vehicles and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $11.1 million. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment in our equipment rental operations of $73.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 18.8% from $90.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a 16.9% decrease in the average acquisition cost of rental equipment operated during the period, higher net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used equipment and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.2 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 23.3%, due to decreases in advertising expenses, administrative expenses and sales promotion expenses, including the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $5.1 million.

Advertising expenses decreased $26.8 million, or 45.4%, primarily due to decreased media advertising.

Administrative expenses decreased $19.1 million, or 14.1%, primarily due to decreases in administrative salaries and related costs of $14.5 million, losses on our derivatives of $13.0 million and restructuring and restructuring related charges of $4.1 million, including the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $3.8 million, partly offset by an increase in management incentive compensation of $11.5 million.

Sales promotion expenses decreased $8.7 million, or 21.5%, primarily related to a decrease in sales salaries and commissions of $5.2 million, including the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.2 million.

Interest expense decreased 28.2%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding, a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings, and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $2.7 million.

Interest and other income, net decreased $4.4 million due a decrease in interest income as a result of lower cash balances during the period.

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income

Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment was $258.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 54.6% from $167.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to strong cost management performance, including higher revenues per vehicle, lower overall fleet costs and staffing/wage levels commensurate with rental volumes. Adjustments to our car rental segment income before income taxes on a GAAP basis for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, totaled $84.1 million and $81.3 million, respectively. See footnote c to the table under "—Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2008—Summary" for a summary and description of these adjustments. Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment as a percent of its revenues increased from 8.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 14.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2009.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Continued)

Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment was $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $81.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in volume and pricing, partly offset by strong cost management performance. Adjustments to our equipment rental segment income before income taxes on a GAAP basis for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, totaled $22.2 million and $54.2 million, respectively. See footnote c to the table under "—Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2008—Summary" for a summary and description of these adjustments. Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment as a percent of its revenues decreased from 18.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 9.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The ratio of adjusted pre-tax income to revenues for our two segments has historically reflected the different environments in which they operate, although the historical difference has been reversed for the three months ended September 30, 2009 because of the more rapid decline in revenues in our equipment rental segment. In general, our infrastructure costs are higher within our car rental segment due to the number and type of locations in which it operates and the corresponding headcount. Within our equipment rental segment, our revenue earning equipment generates lower depreciation expense due to its longer estimated useful life.

Provision for Taxes on Income, Net income attributable to Noncontrolling interests and Net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder

	Three Months Ended September 30,

(in millions of dollars)	2009			2008			$ Change			% Change
Income before income taxes	$	87.0		$	26.1		$	60.9			234.0	%

Net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder	$	33.1		$	17.6		$	15.5			89.1	%

The provision for taxes on income increased $46.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes and an increase in losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized, partially offset by an increase in discrete benefits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 56.8% compared to 11.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The change in tax rates was generally due to the factors noted above.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased 21.2% due to a decrease in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The net income attributable to The Hertz Corporation and Subsidiaries' common stockholder increased 89.1% primarily due strong cost management performance, partly offset by lower rental volume and pricing in our worldwide car and equipment rental, as well as the net effect of other contributing factors noted above. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the net income was mitigated by the fact that not only foreign revenues but also most foreign expenses were incurred in local currencies.
