Chairman and CEO of Hertz to step down

In addition, Linda Fayne Levinson,
Independent Lead Director of the Hertz Board, has been appointed
Independent Non-Executive Chair of the Board. The Hertz Board has
initiated a search process to identify a permanent CEO. The search
process will be led by the Board's Nominating and Governance Committee,
which consists solely of independent directors, with the assistance of
an executive search firm. Internal and external candidates will be
considered.                                                          

Ms.
Levinson commented, "During Mark's tenure, Hertz has transformed from a
single on-airport car rental brand to a world leading rental car
company with a portfolio of brands that reach multiple consumer and
business segments both on- and off-airport. With the acquisition of
Donlen, not only did he bring the Company into fleet leasing, but
acquired important technology that gives both leasing and car rental a
competitive advantage. We appreciate his strong commitment to Hertz."

Ms.
Levinson continued, "We are fortunate to have a proven leader of
Brian's caliber and experience to step into the CEO role on an interim
basis while the Board conducts its search process. Since joining the
Company, he has hit the ground running. He is a hands-on leader, and we
know that he will be actively leading the Company forward executing our
strategic imperatives during this period. Brian has the Board's full
support to execute the changes needed to drive shareholder value. We are
confident that Brian's abilities and experience at Hertz and elsewhere,
together with the talent of the current management team, will ensure a
smooth leadership transition for the benefit of all our stakeholders."

Mr.
MacDonald brings a strong record to Hertz, having successfully led
major corporate turnarounds at other companies, including Sunoco, Inc.
and Isuzu Motors Limited. He also brings significant finance and
accounting experience in his prior executive role at Dell, Inc., as
Chair of the Audit Committee of CSC (formerly Computer Sciences
Corporation) and as a former director and member of the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors at Ally Financial, Inc., where he was
appointed as a director designee by the U.S. Treasury Department.

Mr.
MacDonald commented, "I am honored to take on the role of interim CEO
during this important time for our company. Hertz is a great business,
and I look forward to working closely with the Board, senior leadership
team and our dedicated and hard-working employees as we build an even
stronger future for Hertz."

Ms.
Levinson concluded, "The Board, and all of us at Hertz, are focused on
improving our recent performance. We are addressing our challenges
head-on and are confident that the actions underway will enable us to
move the Company forward with great success. Hertz has a strong
foundation in place, and we have a clear strategic direction that we
believe will create significant additional value for Hertz shareholders.
We are committed to ensuring that the Company fully capitalizes on
these strengths, and we look forward to continuing our dialogue with
shareholders as we execute on our plans."

The
Company remains focused on continuing to run its business and is
committed to executing its strategic priorities, including continuing to
advance the planned separation of the Company's equipment rental
business into a separate, publicly traded company; further integrating
and gaining the synergies of Dollar Thrifty; expanding Hertz's
off-airport footprint; and building on the Company's success with Donlen
leasing.
