  April&nbsp;24, 2008, Hertz Global Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Hertz Holdings&#148;), the
  indirect parent company of The Hertz Corporation (&#147;Hertz&#148;), conducted its
  earnings conference call relating to the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
  2008. The earnings call was made available to the public via conference call
  and audio webcast and the slides that accompanied the presentation were
  available to the public at the time of the earnings call and webcast through
  Hertz&#146;s website. Certain financial information relating to completed fiscal
  periods that was part of the earnings call is included in the slides that

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
  earnings call included certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of
  these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable measures calculated and
  presented in accordance with GAAP are attached hereto as part of Exhibit&nbsp;99.1.
  The reasons why Hertz Holdings&#146; and Hertz&#146;s management believe that the
  presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings call
  provide useful information regarding Hertz Holdings&#146; and Hertz&#146;s financial
  condition and results of operations and additional purposes, if any, why Hertz

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Certain
  statements contained in this report include &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within
  the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should
  not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements
  include information concerning Hertz Holdings&#146; outlook, anticipated revenues,
  results of operations and implementation of productivity and efficiency
  initiatives, including targeted job reductions, and the anticipated savings and
  restructuring charges expected to be realized or incurred in connection
  therewith. These statements often include words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
  &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;forecast&#148;
  or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that
  Hertz Holdings has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as
  its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
  developments and other factors that Hertz Holdings believes are appropriate in
  these circumstances. As you read this report, you should understand that these
  statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks,
  uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could affect Hertz&#146;s and Hertz
  Holdings&#146; actual results and Hertz Holdings&#146; ability to implement its cost
  savings and efficiency initiatives successfully, and could cause Hertz&#146;s and
  Hertz Holdings&#146; actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
  forward-looking statements. Some important factors include: Hertz&#146;s and Hertz
  Holdings&#146; operations; economic performance; financial condition; management
  forecasts; efficiencies, cost savings and opportunities to increase
  productivity and profitability; income and margins; liquidity; and availability
  of additional or continued fleet financing including as a result of the
  financial instability of the entities providing credit support; anticipated
  growth; economies of scale; the economy; future economic performance; Hertz&#146;s
  and Hertz Holdings&#146; ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic
  cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural
  disasters and epidemic disease); future acquisitions and dispositions;
  litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; management&#146;s plans; taxes;
  and refinancing of existing debt. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
  assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this report might not
  prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All
  forward-looking statements attributable to Hertz, Hertz Holdings or persons
  acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
  foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date
  made, and Hertz and Hertz Holdings undertake no obligation to update or revise
  publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
  information, future events or otherwise.</font></p>

  these forward-looking statements. You should understand that the risks and
  uncertainties discussed in &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and elsewhere in Hertz&#146;s and Hertz
  Holdings&#146; Annual Reports on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31,

  the &#147;SEC,&#148; on March&nbsp;6, 2008 and February&nbsp;29, 2008, respectively,
  could affect Hertz&#146;s and Hertz Holdings&#146; future results and the outcome of
  Hertz Holdings&#146; implementation of its cost savings and efficiency initiatives,
  and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those
  expressed or implied in Hertz&#146;s and Hertz Holdings&#146; forward-looking statements.</font></p>

  ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
  On
  April 24, 2008, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Holdings"), the
  indirect parent company of The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), conducted its
  earnings conference call relating to the three months ended March 31,
  2008. The earnings call was made available to the public via conference call
  and audio webcast and the slides that accompanied the presentation were
  available to the public at the time of the earnings call and webcast through
  Hertz's website. Certain financial information relating to completed fiscal
  periods that was part of the earnings call is included in the slides that
  accompanied the earnings call, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
  The
  earnings call included certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of
  these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable measures calculated and
  presented in accordance with GAAP are attached hereto as part of Exhibit 99.1.
  The reasons why Hertz Holdings' and Hertz's management believe that the
  presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings call
  provide useful information regarding Hertz Holdings' and Hertz's financial
  condition and results of operations and additional purposes, if any, why Hertz
  Holdings' and Hertz's management utilize the non-GAAP financial measures are
  attached hereto as part of Exhibit 99.1.
  CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
  Certain
  statements contained in this report include "forward-looking statements" within
  the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should
  not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements
  include information concerning Hertz Holdings' outlook, anticipated revenues,
  results of operations and implementation of productivity and efficiency
  initiatives, including targeted job reductions, and the anticipated savings and
  restructuring charges expected to be realized or incurred in connection
  therewith. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project,"
  "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "seek," "will," "may," "should," "forecast"
  or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that
  Hertz Holdings has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as
  its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
  developments and other factors that Hertz Holdings believes are appropriate in
  these circumstances. As you read this report, you should understand that these
  statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks,
  uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could affect Hertz's and Hertz
  Holdings' actual results and Hertz Holdings' ability to implement its cost
  savings and efficiency initiatives successfully, and could cause Hertz's and
  Hertz Holdings' actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
  forward-looking statements. Some important factors include: Hertz's and Hertz
  Holdings' operations; economic performance; financial condition; management
  forecasts; efficiencies, cost savings and opportunities to increase
  productivity and profitability; income and margins; liquidity; and availability
  of additional or continued fleet financing including as a result of the
  financial instability of the entities providing credit support; anticipated
  growth; economies of scale; the economy; future economic performance; Hertz's
  and Hertz Holdings' ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic
  cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural
  disasters and epidemic disease); future acquisitions and dispositions;
  litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; management's plans; taxes;
  and refinancing of existing debt. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
  assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this report might not
  prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All
  forward-looking statements attributable to Hertz, Hertz Holdings or persons
  acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
  foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date
  made, and Hertz and Hertz Holdings undertake no obligation to update or revise
  publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
  information, future events or otherwise.
  Hertz
  and Hertz Holdings caution you therefore that you should not rely unduly on
  these forward-looking statements. You should understand that the risks and
  uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Hertz's and Hertz
  Holdings' Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
  2007, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or
  the "SEC," on March 6, 2008 and February 29, 2008, respectively,
  could affect Hertz's and Hertz Holdings' future results and the outcome of
  Hertz Holdings' implementation of its cost savings and efficiency initiatives,
  and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those
  expressed or implied in Hertz's and Hertz Holdings' forward-looking statements.
