FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains “forward-looking statements” about our expectations, plans and performance, including those under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook for 2012” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” These statements use such words as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan” and similar expressions. These statements do not guarantee future performance and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. assumes no obligation to update them. Risks and uncertainties relating to our business that could materially affect our future results include:

●

constraints on our growth and profitability given the challenges we face in increasing our market share in the key airport and local markets we serve, high barriers to entry in the insurance replacement market, capital and other constraints on expanding company-owned stores internationally and the challenges we would face in further reducing our expenses;

●

the impact of the continuing challenging global economic environment, the ongoing Eurozone sovereign debt issues and governmental actions to address budget deficits through austerity and other measures, which are fueling concerns about global economic prospects and could materially adversely affect unemployment rates and consumer discretionary spending, including for international inbound travel to the United States and for leisure travel more generally, on which we are substantially dependent;

●

the continuing significant political unrest and other concerns involving certain oil-producing countries, which has contributed to price volatility for petroleum products, and in recent periods higher average gasoline prices, which could affect both broader economic conditions and consumer spending levels;

●	the impact of pricing and other actions by competitors;

●

our ability to manage our fleet mix to match demand and meet our target for vehicle depreciation costs, particularly in light of the significant level of risk vehicles (i.e., those vehicles not acquired through a guaranteed residual value program) in our fleet and our exposure to wholesale used vehicle prices;

●	the cost and other terms of acquiring and disposing of automobiles and the impact of conditions in the used vehicle market on our vehicle cost, including the impact on vehicle depreciation costs in 2012 based on pricing volatility in the used vehicle market;

●	our ability to reduce our fleet capacity as and when projected by our plans;

●	the continuing strength of the U.S. automotive industry on which we depend for vehicle supply;

●	airline travel patterns, including disruptions or reductions in air travel resulting from capacity reductions, pricing actions, severe weather conditions, industry consolidation or other events, particularly given our dependence on leisure travel;

●	access to reservation distribution channels, particularly as the role of the Internet and mobile applications increases in the marketing and sale of travel-related services;

●	the effectiveness of actions we take to maintain a low cost structure and to manage liquidity;

●	the impact of repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program;

●	our ability to obtain cost-effective financing as needed without unduly restricting our operational flexibility;

●	our ability to comply with financial covenants, and the impact of those covenants on our operating and financial flexibility;

●	whether our preliminary expectations about our federal income tax position are affected by changes in our expected fleet size or operations or further legislative initiatives relating to taxes in the United States or elsewhere;

●	our ability to continue to defer the reversal of prior period tax deferrals and the availability of accelerated depreciation payments in future periods, the lack of either of which could result in material cash federal income tax payments in future periods;

●	the cost of regulatory compliance, costs and other effects of potential future initiatives, including those directed at climate change and its effects, and the costs and outcome of pending litigation;

●	disruptions in the operation or development of information and communication systems that we rely on, including those relating to methods of payment;

●	local market conditions where we and our franchisees do business, including whether franchisees will continue to have access to capital as needed; and

●	the impact of other events that can disrupt consumer travel, such as natural and man-made catastrophes, pandemics, social unrest and actual and perceived threats or acts of terrorism.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet~~sheets of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~three-month~~six-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and 2011. These 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, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements ~~referenced~~referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~THREE~~SIX MONTHS ENDED ~~MARCH 31,~~JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011

(Unaudited)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (“DTG”) and its subsidiaries. DTG’s significant wholly owned subsidiaries include DTG Operations, Inc., Thrifty, Inc., Dollar Rent A Car, Inc. and Rental Car Finance Corp. (“RCFC”). Thrifty, Inc. is the parent company of Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc., which is the parent company of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Canada Inc. (“DTG Canada”). The term the “Company” is used to refer to DTG ~~and its subsidiaries,~~ individually or collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require.

The accounting policies set forth in Item 8 - Note 1 of notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in DTG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2012, have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for interim periods included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America~~U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, it made all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

2.	CASH AND INVESTMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit, including highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Book overdrafts represent outstanding checks not yet presented to the bank and are included in accounts payable to reflect the Company’s outstanding obligations. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was ~~$17.6~~$15.0 million and $19.0 million, respectively, in book overdrafts included in accounts payable. These amounts do not represent bank overdrafts, which would constitute checks presented in excess of cash on hand, and would be effectively a loan to the Company.

Restricted Cash and Investments – Restricted cash and investments are restricted for the acquisition of vehicles and other specified uses under the rental car asset-backed note indenture and other agreements. A portion of these funds is restricted due to the like-kind exchange tax program for deferred tax gains on eligible vehicle remarketing. As permitted by the indenture, these funds are primarily held in highly rated money market funds with investments primarily in government and corporate obligations. Restricted cash and investments are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

3.	SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

Long-Term Incentive Plan

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for employees and non-employee directors was ~~1,994,171~~2,918,067 shares.

The Company has ~~211,567~~1,168,546 shares available for future LTIP awards at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 after reserving for the maximum potential shares that could be awarded under existing LTIP grants. The Company issues new shares from remaining authorized common stock to satisfy LTIP awards.

Compensation cost for non-qualified option rights, performance shares and restricted stock awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted at the grant-date and is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the stock awards, which are generally the vesting periods. The Company recognized compensation costs of ~~$1.9~~$2.1 million and ~~$1.2~~$4.0 million during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for such awards. The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of comprehensive income for share-based compensation payments was $0.8 million and ~~$0.5~~$1.6 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Option Rights Plan – Under the LTIP, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may grant non-qualified option rights to key employees and non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares for which option rights may be granted under the LTIP to any participant during any calendar year is 285,000. No awards were granted in 2012 ~~and~~or 2011. ~~There are no~~The grant-date fair value of options vested during both the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2012.~~June 30, 2012 was $1.6 million. The grant-date fair value of options vested during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2011 was ~~$1.1 million.~~$0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Expense is recognized over the service period which is the vesting period. ~~Unrecognized~~No unrecognized expense ~~remaining at March 31, 2012 and 2011~~ for the options is ~~less than $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and will be recognized through April~~remaining at June 30, 2012.

The following table sets forth the non-qualified option rights activity under the LTIP for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 was $1.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was ~~$5.6~~$3.5 million and ~~$2.7~~$6.2 million, respectively. Total cash received by the Company for non-qualified option rights exercised during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 totaled $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Total cash received by the Company for non-qualified option rights exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled ~~$0.6~~$1.5 million and ~~$1.4~~$2.9 million, respectively.

Performance Shares – Performance share awards, which may take the form of performance shares or performance units, are granted to Company officers and certain key employees.

The maximum amount of performance share awards that may be granted under the LTIP during any year to any participant is 160,000 common shares. Compensation expense related to the performance shares is recognized over the vesting period.

In February 2012, the Company granted 29,135 performance units related to the 2011 incentive compensation plan with a grant-date fair value of $76.17 per share.

These performance units, which will settle in Company shares, will vest over the requisite service period with 25% vesting on December 31, 2012 and the remaining 75% vesting on December 31, 2013. In December 2011, a target number of performance units was granted with a grant-date fair value of $69.58 per share. These performance units, which will settle in Company shares, will vest over a three-year requisite service period following the grant date with 25% vesting on December 31, 2013 and the remaining 75% vesting on December 31, 2014. The number of performance units ultimately earned will depend upon the level of corporate performance against a pre-established target in 2012. The grant-date fair value for ~~each of these awards~~this award was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares aton the date of grant.

~~No shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012.~~ In March 2011, the 2008 grant of performance shares earned from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010 totaling 73,000 shares, net of forfeitures, vested at 200% of the target award (total of approximately 146,000 shares) with a total intrinsic value to the recipients of approximately $3.5 million. The Company withheld approximately 52,000 of these shares for the payment of taxes owed by the recipients and designated the shares withheld as treasury shares.

The following table presents the status of the Company’s nonvested performance shares as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and any changes during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012:

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards not yet recognized is estimated at approximately ~~$10.9~~$9.6 million, ~~depending upon~~based on the Company’s ~~performance against~~expectation that it will meet or exceed the targets specified in the performance share agreement. This estimated compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average period of ~~1.9~~1.7 years. ��The total intrinsic value of vested and issued performance shares during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.1 million and $7.6 ~~million.~~million, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the intrinsic value of the nonvested performance share awards was ~~$23.5~~$22.8 million.

Restricted Stock Units – Under the LTIP, the Company may grant restricted stock units to key employees and non-employee directors. The grant-date fair value of the award is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares aton the date of grant. ~~No restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.~~

In January 2012, non-employee directors were granted 6,815 shares with a grant-date fair value of $73.42 per share that fully vest on December 31, 2012. The total intrinsic value of vested and issued restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock unit awards not yet recognized is approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the restricted stock units.

The following table presents the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock units as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and changes during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012:

Vehicles purchased by vehicle rental companies under programs where either the rate of depreciation or the residual value is guaranteed by the manufacturer are referred to as “Program Vehicles.” Vehicles not purchased under these programs and for which rental companies therefore bear residual value risk are referred to as “Non-Program Vehicles.”

Depreciation expense for Non-Program Vehicles, which constitute substantially all of the Company’s fleet, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the vehicle, based on the original acquisition cost, the projected residual value at the time of sale, and the estimated length of time the vehicle will be in service. The Company’s vehicle depreciation rates are periodically adjusted on a prospective basis when residual value assumptions change due to changes in used vehicle market conditions.

The estimation of residual values requires the Company to make assumptions regarding the expected age and mileage of the vehicle at the time of disposal. Additionally, residual value estimates must also take into consideration overall used vehicle market conditions at the time of sale, including the impact of seasonality on vehicle residuals. The difference in residual values assumed and the proceeds realized upon sale of the vehicle is recorded as a gain or loss on the sale of the vehicle, and is recorded as a component of net vehicle depreciation and lease charges in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of comprehensive income.

5.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the combined ~~weighted average~~weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of options. In computing diluted EPS, the Company utilizes the treasury stock method.

The computation of ~~weighted average~~weighted-average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS is shown in the following table (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Diluted EPS $ 1.35 $ 0.53

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and 2011, all options to purchase shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted EPS because no exercise price was greater than the average per share market price of the common shares.

Shares included in the diluted EPS calculation related to shares contingently issuable for stock options decreased on a year-over-year basis for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, from the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2011 to the three months ended March 31, 2012.~~June 30, 2011. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the denominator used in the diluted EPS calculation. To derive the denominator, the number of outstanding options is reduced by the number of shares that would be repurchased from assumed proceeds of certain defined items including the exercise price of the option and the excess tax benefit that would result from the assumed exercise of the option. However, the excess tax benefit component is included only if the assumed tax benefit would decrease the Company’s current taxes payable. In 2012, the Company has projected that it will be a taxpayer and the tax benefit of the repurchases of shares from the assumed proceeds is incorporated into the diluted share calculation. The impact of the assumed tax benefit in 2012 is a reduction in diluted shares outstanding of approximately 600,000 shares. In 2011, the Company was not a taxpayer for federal income tax purposes and did not benefit from the tax deduction related to the assumed option exercises for purposes of the diluted share calculation, thus increasing the number of shares included in the diluted EPS calculation by approximately ~~700,000~~800,000 shares. Other factors, such as the Company’s stock price and stock options exercised, also impact the diluted EPS calculation.

During the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased ~~1,515,393~~283,250 and 1,798,643 shares of its common stock, respectively, which reduced the weighted-average common shares outstanding. See Note 10 for further discussion of the share repurchase program.

Asset-Backed Medium-Term Notes

Asset-backed medium-term notes were issued by RCFC in October 2011 (the “Series 2011-2 notes”), July 2011 (the “Series 2011-1 notes”), and May 2007 (the “Series 2007-1 notes”).

The $400 million of Series 2011-2 notes were issued at a fixed interest rate of 3.21% and will be repaid monthly over a six-month period, beginning in December 2014, with an expected final maturity date of May 2015. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Series 2011-2 notes required compliance with a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million, consistent with the terms of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (hereinafter defined).

The Series 2011-1 notes are comprised of $420 million principal amount of Series 2011-1 Class A Notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.51% and $80 million principal amount of Series 2011-1 Class B Notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.38%. On a blended basis, the average annual coupon on the combined $500 million principal amount of the Series 2011-1 notes is approximately 2.81%. The Series 2011-1 notes will be repaid monthly over a six-month period, beginning in September 2014, with an expected final maturity date in February 2015.

The Series 2007-1 notes began scheduled amortization in February 2012. During the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2012, ~~$166.7~~$250.0 million and $416.7 million of principal payments were made, respectively, with the remaining ~~$333.3~~$83.3 million ~~due~~paid in ~~equal payments April 2012 through~~ July 2012. The Series 2007-1 notes are insured by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company. The Series 2007-1 notes are floating rate notes that were previously effectively converted to fixed rate notes through swap agreements that provided for a fixed interest rate of 5.16% on these notes. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Series 2007-1 notes had an interest rate of ~~0.58%~~0.59%.

Variable Funding Notes

The Company had drawn ~~$180~~$510 million of the $600 million Series 2010-3 variable funding note (“VFN”) at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012. At the end of the revolving period, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Series 2010-3 VFN will be repaid monthly over a three-month period, beginning in October 2013, with the final payment due in December 2013. The facility bears interest at a spread of 130 basis points above each funding institution’s cost of funds, which may be based on either the weighted-average commercial paper rate, a floating one-month LIBOR rate or a Eurodollar rate. The Series 2010-3 VFN had an interest rate of ~~1.57%~~1.58% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012. The Series 2010-3 VFN also has a facility fee commitment rate of up to 0.8% per annum on any unused portion of the facility. The Series 2010-3 VFN requires compliance with a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million, consistent with the terms of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

Canadian Fleet Financing

On March 9, 2012, the Company completed a CAD Series 2012-1 $150 million Canadian fleet securitization program (the “CAD Series 2012-1 notes”). This program has a term of two years and requires a program fee of 150 basis points above the one-month rate for Canadian dollar denominated bankers’ acceptances and a utilization fee of 65 basis points on the unused CAD Series 2012-1 amount. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, CAD ~~$60~~$70 million (US ~~$60.1~~$68.8 million) of the CAD Series 2012-1 notes had been drawn. The CAD Series 2012-1 notes had an interest rate of ~~2.63%~~2.69% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 16, 2012, the Company terminated the existing senior secured credit facility and replaced it with a new $450 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that expires in February 2017. Pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is grid-based with a spread above LIBOR that will range from 300 basis points to 350 basis points, based upon usage of the facility. Commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility will equal 50 basis points on unused capacity.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants including, among others, limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make loans, acquisitions or other investments, grant liens on their respective property, dispose of assets, pay dividends or conduct stock repurchases, make capital expenditures or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has the ability (subject to specified conditions and limitations), among other things, to incur up to $400 million of unsecured indebtedness; to enter into permitted acquisitions of up to $250 million in the aggregate during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and to incur financing and assume indebtedness in connection therewith; to make investments in the Company’s U.S. special-purpose financing entities (including RCFC) and its Canadian special-purpose financing entities, in aggregate amounts at any time outstanding of up to $750 million and $150 million, respectively; and to make dividend, stock repurchase and other restricted payments in an amount up to $300 million, plus 50% of cumulative adjusted net income (or minus 100% of cumulative adjusted net loss, as applicable) for the period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the restricted payment.

The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility of ~~$163.7~~$19.0 million for U.S. enhancement and ~~$51.5~~$46.5 million in general purpose letters of credit with a remaining available capacity of ~~$234.8~~$384.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

Covenant Compliance

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under its various financing arrangements.

8.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, and has historically entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage that risk. Additionally, some of the Company’s debt facilities require interest rate cap agreements in order to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. The Company used interest rate swap agreements for asset-backed medium-term note issuances in 2007 to effectively convert variable interest rates to fixed interest rates; however, in late 2011, the Company terminated its 2007 swap agreements and paid a termination fee of $8.8 million to settle the outstanding liability.

The remaining unamortized value of the hedge deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet is being reclassified into earnings as interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt through July 2012. During the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2012, ~~$4.9~~$3.2 million and $8.1 million was reclassified into earnings as interest ~~expense.~~expense, respectively. The Company has also used interest rate cap agreements for its Series 2010-3 VFN, to effectively limit the variable interest rate on a total of $600 million in asset-backed VFNs. These cap agreements have a termination date of July 2014. There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

9.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments are presented at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. These categories include (in descending order of priority): Level 1, defined as observable inputs for identical instruments such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following tables show assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 on the Company’s balance sheet, and the input categories associated with those assets and liabilities:

(a)

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets consist primarily of equity securites. The Company also has an offsetting liability related to the Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not disclosed in the table as it is not independently measured at fair value, but rather is set to equal fair value of the assets held in the related rabbi trust.

The fair value of derivative assets, consisting of interest rate caps as discussed above, is calculated using proprietary models utilizing observable inputs, as well as future assumptions related to interest rates, credit risk and other variables. These calculations are performed by the financial institutions that are counterparties to the applicable cap agreements and reported to the Company on a monthly basis. The Company uses these reported fair values to adjust the asset as appropriate. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of the calculations by comparing similar calculations from other counterparties for the applicable period and performs back-testing through use of the look back approach to evaluate the fair value provided by the financial institutions. Deferred compensation plan assets consist of publicly traded securities and are valued in accordance with market quotations. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 measurements for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 or the 12 months ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the beginning of the period in which the event or change in circumstances triggering the transfer occurs. The Company had no Level 3 financial instruments at any time during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 or the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.

The following estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies described below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Investments – Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and are comprised primarily of bank deposits, commercial paper and money market funds. The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts that may not be federally insured.

Receivables and Accounts Payable – The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Debt and Other Obligations – The fair values of the debt traded on the secondary markets were developed utilizing a market approach based on observable inputs from similar debt arrangements and from information regarding the trading of the Company’s debt in non-active secondary markets and, thus, the debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s other debt is not traded, including floating rate debt for which the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair value, as well as fixed rate debt for which the fair values were estimated utilizing an income approach based on discount rates derived from other comparable issuances that include certain unobservable inputs. The non-traded debt is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A portion of the Company’s debt is denominated in Canadian dollars, and its carrying value is impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. However, this foreign currency risk is mitigated by the underlying collateral, which is the Company’s Canadian fleet.

The following tables provide information about the Company’s market sensitive financial instruments valued at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

10.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

In September 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased authorization under the share repurchase program to $400 million.

11.	INCOME TAXES

The Company has provided for income taxes on consolidated taxable income using a consolidated effective tax rate which reflects the utilization of Canadian tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to the extent of Canadian taxable income. A full valuation allowance had previously been recorded against the Canadian NOLs due to losses in the ~~U.S. and in Canada based on taxable income or loss and other tax attributes separately for each jurisdiction. The Company has established tax provisions separately for U.S. taxable income and~~ Canadian ~~losses, for which the income tax benefit recorded has been fully reserved with an offsetting valuation allowance.~~operations. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

The Company utilizes a like-kind exchange program for its vehicles whereby tax basis gains on disposal of eligible revenue-earning vehicles are deferred for purposes of U.S. federal and state income tax (the “Like-Kind Exchange Program”). To qualify for Like-Kind Exchange Program treatment, the Company exchanges (through a qualified intermediary) vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being purchased allowing the Company to carry-over the tax basis of vehicles sold to replacement vehicles, thereby deferring taxable gains from vehicle dispositions.

In addition, the Company has historically elected to utilize accelerated or “bonus” depreciation methods on its vehicle inventories in order to defer its cash liability for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company’s ability to continue to defer the reversal of prior period tax deferrals will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the Company’s fleet, as well as the availability of accelerated depreciation methods in future years. Accordingly, the Company may make material cash federal income tax payments in future periods.

Based on existing tax law, the Company expects to be a cash ~~tax payer~~taxpayer in 2012. InDuring the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company received a tax refund of $8.8 million due to overpayments of the excess estimated tax payments made in ~~2011.~~2011, and paid $20 million in estimated federal taxes for 2012.

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the overall effective tax rate of 37.0% and 38.4%, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the overall effective tax rate of 40.1% and ~~43.8%~~41.2%, respectively, differed from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate primarily due ~~primarily~~ to ~~the~~ state and local taxes and ~~losses relating to~~the operating results of DTG Canada for which no benefit was recognized due to full valuation allowance.

As of ~~March~~June 30, 2012 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2011, the Company had no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits. There are no material tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the 12 months subsequent to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the Company’s significant tax jurisdictions, the tax years 2008 and later are subject to examination by U.S. federal taxing authorities and the tax years 2007 and later are subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities.

The Company accrues interest and penalties on underpayment of income taxes related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of comprehensive income. No material amounts were recognized for interest and penalties during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and 2011.

12.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

~~For a detailed description of certain legal proceedings see~~There have been no material changes to the Commitments and Contingencies Note 14 ~~of notes to the consolidated financial statements included~~ in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, with the exception of the following:

Vehicle Insurance Reserves

The Company records reserves for its public liability and property damage exposure using actuarially-based loss estimates, which are updated semi-annually in June and December of each year. In June 2011, the Company began semi-annual updates for supplemental liability insurance, as such reserves had been previously updated on an annual basis in December. As a result of favorable overall claims loss development, the Company recorded favorable insurance reserve adjustments, which effectively represents revision to previous estimates of vehicle insurance charges, of $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $10.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Contingencies

The following recent development pertaining to a legal proceeding described in the Company’s Form 10-K is furnished on a supplemental basis:

On March 2, 2012, the appellate court in Susan and Jeffrey Dillon v. DTG Operations, Inc. d/b/a Thrifty Car Rental (Case No. 09CH34874, Cook County Circuit Court, Chancery Division, Illinois) upheld the lower court’s ruling in favor of the Company. The Plaintiffs did not seek a rehearing or further appeals, and this action has been dismissed.

Aside from the above, ~~mentioned,~~ none of the other legal proceedings described in the Company’s Form 10-K have experienced material changes.

The Company is also subject to potential liability related to environmental matters. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and environmental matters when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. The term “reasonably possible” is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than probable. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of previously accrued reserves and makes adjustments as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of a further loss and the estimated amount of the loss. With respect to outstanding litigation and environmental matters, based on current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

Other

In June 2012, the Company executed a vehicle supply agreement with Chrysler Group LLC (“Chrysler Group”) for a three-year term beginning with program year 2013 (August 1, 2012) and ending at the end of program year 2015 (July 31, 2015), that will allow the Company to source a portion of its vehicle purchases, with certain minimum volumes, through Chrysler Group. Volume requirements may be modified by mutual agreement between the Company and Chrysler Group.

13.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which amends U.S. GAAP to converge U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards by changing the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, as required (see Note 9 for required disclosures).

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income - Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”) to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012, as required (see ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~condensed consolidated statements of ~~Comprehensive Income~~comprehensive income and Note 10 for required disclosures).

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) to amend the requirement for an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.

ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, as required, but does not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

14.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed events that have occurred after ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 through the issuance of the financial statements. The Company noted no reportable subsequent events other than the subsequent ~~events~~event noted below.

During ~~April~~July 2012, the Company repurchased ~~92,500~~22,494 shares or approximately ~~$7.4~~$1.8 million of its common stock under the share repurchase program at an average price of ~~$79.48,~~$79.74, leaving approximately ~~$288~~$271 million available for further purchases of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program.

*******

~~In April 2012, the Company reduced the letters of credit outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility by $145 million and satisfied the related enhancement requirement with cash.~~

Also in April 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that would increase the Company’s common share capital from 50 million shares of common stock to 200 million shares of common stock. The additional shares would have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all other respects to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The amendment to the certificate of incorporation is subject to the approval of stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on June 7, 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures for Measuring Results

Corporate Adjusted EBITDA means earnings, excluding the impact of the (increase) decrease in fair value of derivatives, before non-vehicle interest expense, income taxes, non-vehicle depreciation, amortization, and certain other items as shown below. The Company believes Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is important as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity by adjusting earnings to exclude certain non-cash items, taxes and corporate-level capital structure decisions (i.e., non-vehicle interest), thus allowing the Company’s management, including the chief operating decision maker, as well as investors and analysts, to evaluate the Company’s operating cash flows based on the core operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of operating performance in providing a measure of profitability that focuses on the core operations of the Company while excluding certain items that do not directly reflect ongoing operating performance. The Company’s management, including the chief operating decision maker, uses Corporate Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s performance and in preparing monthly operating performance reviews and annual operating budgets. The items excluded from Corporate Adjusted EBITDA, but included in the calculation of the Company’s reported net income, are significant components of its condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative measure of the Company's net income, cash flow or liquidity. Corporate Adjusted EBITDA amounts presented may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies.

Operating Results

During the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012, the Company’s vehicle rental ~~revenue~~revenues increased slightly, primarily due to a ~~6.5%~~4.2% increase in the number of rental days, partially offset by a ~~4.2%~~3.8% decrease in average revenue per day. Net vehicle depreciation and lease charges decreased ~~$32.4~~$9.0 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 due to lower base depreciation rates on vehicles in the fleet and ~~$6.3~~$4.7 million of higher gains on the sales of Non-Program Vehicles, compared to the ~~first quarter of 2011. Additionally, the Company did not incur any merger-related expenses during the first quarter of 2012, compared to $3.5 million of such expenses incurred in the first~~second quarter of 2011. Net interest expense decreased ~~$3.9~~$3.0 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 due to lower interest rates on remaining fleet financing facilities compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011. Additionally, the Company did not incur any merger-related expenses during the second quarter of 2012, compared to $1.1 million of such expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Direct vehicle and operating expenses for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 increased ~~$5.9 million primarily due to an increase in the average fleet operated during the period of 3.6%.~~$5.5 million.

The increase in direct vehicle and operating ~~expense~~expenses in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Vehicle insurance expenses increased $5.7 million resulting from less favorable loss experience realized on the Company’s vehicle insurance programs during the second quarter of 2012, compared to the loss experience during the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by lower accrual rates in the second quarter of 2012.

Vehicle-related expenses increased ~~$6.4 million.

Ø	~~Vehicle insurance expense decreased $1.7 million primarily related to lower accrual rates in the first quarter of 2012 due to favorable claims development trends.~~

Net vehicle depreciation and lease charges for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 decreased ~~$32.4~~$9.0 million. As a percent of revenue, net vehicle depreciation and lease charges were ~~11.7%~~14.5% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012, compared to ~~21.3%~~16.8% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011.

The decrease in net vehicle depreciation and lease charges in the second quarter of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Ø	Vehicle depreciation expense decreased ~~$26.1~~$4.3 million, primarily resulting from a ~~34.3%~~5.5% decrease in the average depreciation rate due to continued favorable used vehicle market conditions, partially offset by a ~~4.0%~~0.5% increase in the average depreciable fleet.

Net vehicle gains on disposal of Non-Program Vehicles, which effectively represent revisions to previous estimates of vehicle depreciation charges by reducing net vehicle depreciation and lease charges, increased ~~$6.3~~$4.7 million from a ~~$7.9~~$17.8 million gain in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011 to a ~~$14.2~~$22.5 million gain in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012. This increase in gains on sales of Non-Program Vehicles resulted from more units sold in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012, partially offset by a lower average gain per unit as compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011. The lower average gains per unit result from continually refining the depreciation rates to reflect higher estimated residual values of vehicles.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 decreased ~~$3.4~~$1.3 million. As a percent of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~12.8%~~12.0% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012, compared to ~~14.1%~~12.4% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Ø	Merger-related costs of ~~$3.5~~$1.1 million during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011 with no such merger-related costs during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012.

Ø	Outsourcing expenses decreased ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million primarily due to a lower base fee paid to a third-party service provider in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011.

Ø	~~Sales and marketing~~Personnel-related expenses decreased ~~$0.5~~$0.6 million, primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in ~~print media~~salary expense and ~~reduced promotional advertising expenses.~~

~~Personnel-related expenses increased $2.7~~a $0.5 million ~~primarily due to~~decrease in the market value of the Company’s deferred compensation and retirement plans. These decreases were partially offset by the timing of compensation-related accruals which increased by ~~$3.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in the market value of the deferred compensation and retirement plans.~~$1.2 million.

Ø	All other selling, general and administrative expenses ~~decreased $1.5 million.~~increased $1.2 million primarily due to increases in charitable donations and sales and marketing expenses.

Net interest expense for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 decreased ~~$3.9~~$3.0 million primarily due to lower average interest rates and lower amortization of deferred financing costs. As a percent of revenue, net interest expense was ~~4.8%~~3.9% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012, compared to ~~6.0%~~4.6% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011.

The income tax expense for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 was ~~$27.1~~$29.0 million, compared to ~~$12.9~~$28.4 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011. The effective income tax rate for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2012 was ~~40.1%~~37.0% compared to ~~43.8%~~40.1% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2011. This decrease reflects the utilization of Canadian tax NOLs to the extent of Canadian taxable income. A full valuation allowance had previously been recorded against the Canadian NOLs due to losses in the Canadian operations.

The Company’s overall effective tax rate will vary depending on the amount of taxable income generated by the Company’s operations in various states and the applicable tax rates in those states, as well as the proportion those taxes represent of the Company’s pretax income on a consolidated basis. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 and 2011 were higher than the federal statutory rates principally due to state and local income taxes.

Operating Results

During the first half of 2012, the Company’s vehicle rental revenues increased, primarily due to a 5.3% increase in the number of rental days, partially offset by a 4.0% decrease in average revenue per day. Net vehicle depreciation and lease charges decreased $41.4 million during the first half of 2012 due to lower base depreciation rates on vehicles in the fleet and $11.0 million of higher gains on the sales of Non-Program Vehicles, compared to the first half of 2011. Net interest expense decreased $6.9 million during the first half of 2012 due to lower interest rates on remaining fleet financing facilities compared to the first half of 2011. Additionally, the Company did not incur any merger-related expenses during the first half of 2012, compared to $4.6 million of such expenses incurred in the first half of 2011. The Company realized less favorable loss experience on its vehicle insurance programs in the first half of 2012, compared to the first half of 2011 resulting in an increase in direct vehicle and operating expenses. The Company had income before income taxes of $145.8 million for the first half of 2012, compared to income before income taxes of $100.4 million for the first half of 2011. The Company experienced a decrease in the fair value of derivatives of $0.5 million during the first half of 2012, compared to an increase of $3.9 million during the first half of 2011. Additionally, the Company had net income of $89.8 million for the first half of 2012, compared to net income of $59.0 million for the first half of 2011.

Vehicle rental revenue for the first half of 2012 increased 1.1%. The Company experienced a 5.3% increase in the number of rental days totaling $37.4 million that resulted from improvement in rental demand in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011. This increase was partially offset by a 4.0% decrease in average revenue per day totaling $29.9 million due to the competitive pricing environment in the first half of 2012.

Other revenue increased $0.7 million primarily due to a $1.4 million gain on sale of assets during the first half of 2012, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the market value of investments in the Company’s deferred compensation and retirement plans, which is fully offset in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Direct vehicle and operating expenses for the first half of 2012 increased $11.4 million. As a percent of revenue, direct vehicle and operating expenses were 50.6% in the first half of 2012, compared to 49.7% in the first half of 2011.

The increase in direct vehicle and operating expenses in the first half of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Vehicle-related expenses increased $7.6 million, primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in net vehicle damage expense, as well as an increase in gasoline expense of $2.8 million and an increase in toll and ticket expense of $1.0 million. Increased sales of pre-paid fuel and toll road products are a focus area for the Company, and the majority of the increase in these expenses is recovered through customer revenue related to these products. Additionally, the Company experienced a $1.9 million increase in vehicle maintenance expense due to the increase in the average rental fleet size and the number of higher mileage vehicles in the fleet compared to the first half of 2011. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in shuttling expense.

Vehicle insurance expenses increased $4.0 million resulting from less favorable loss experience realized on the Company’s vehicle insurance programs during the first half of 2012, compared to the loss experience during the first half of 2011, partially offset by lower accrual rates in the first half of 2012.

Ø	Personnel-related expenses increased $1.4 million. The increase was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in incentive-related compensation and a $0.3 million increase in group insurance expense primarily due to a large claim processed in the first half of 2012.

Ø	Rent expenses decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to the settlement of rent disputes resulting in credits to rent expense.

Net vehicle depreciation and lease charges for the first half of 2012 decreased $41.4 million. As a percent of revenue, net vehicle depreciation and lease charges were 13.2% in the first half of 2012, compared to 18.9% in the first half of 2011.

The decrease in net vehicle depreciation and lease charges in the first half of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Vehicle depreciation expense decreased $30.4 million, primarily resulting from a 19.9% decrease in the average depreciation rate due to continued favorable used vehicle market conditions. The significant decrease in base depreciation rates primarily resulted from the 2010 model year vehicles, which are at the end of their useful lives and contain significant embedded gains due to the favorable volatility in the used vehicle market during the depreciable lives of those vehicles. This decrease was partially offset by a 2.1% increase in the average depreciable fleet.

Net vehicle gains on disposal of Non-Program Vehicles, which effectively represent revisions to previous estimates of vehicle depreciation charges by reducing net vehicle depreciation and lease charges, increased $11.0 million from a $25.8 million gain in the first half of 2011 to a $36.8 million gain in the first half of 2012. This increase in gains on sales of Non-Program Vehicles resulted from more units sold in the first half of 2012, partially offset by a lower average gain per unit as compared to the first half of 2011. The lower average gains per unit result from continually refining the depreciation rates to reflect higher estimated residual values of vehicles.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2012 decreased $4.8 million. As a percent of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.4% in the first half of 2012, compared to 13.1% in the first half of 2011.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first half of 2012 primarily resulted from the following:

Ø	Merger-related costs of $4.6 million during the first half of 2011 with no such merger-related costs during the first half of 2012.

Ø	Outsourcing expenses decreased $1.6 million primarily due to a lower base fee paid to a third-party service provider in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011.

Personnel-related expenses increased $2.1 million, primarily due to the timing of compensation-related accruals which increased by $4.3 million, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in salary expense and a $0.9 million decrease in the market value of the Company’s deferred compensation and retirement plans.

Net interest expense for the first half of 2012 decreased $6.9 million primarily due to lower average interest rates and lower amortization of deferred financing costs. As a percent of revenue, net interest expense was 4.3% in the first half of 2012, compared to 5.3% in the first half of 2011.

The income tax expense for the first half of 2012 was $56.0 million, compared to $41.3 million for the first half of 2011. The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2012 was 38.4%, compared to 41.2% for the first half of 2011.

Seasonality

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations in customer demand, with the summer vacation period representing the peak season for vehicle rentals. During the peak season, the Company increases its rental fleet and workforce to accommodate increased rental activity. As a result, any occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a material adverse effect on the annual performance of the Company. The first and fourth quarters for the Company’s rental operations are generally the weakest, when there is limited leisure travel and a greater potential for adverse weather conditions. Many of the operating expenses such as rent, general insurance and administrative personnel are fixed and cannot be reduced during periods of decreased rental demand.

Outlook for 2012

~~Based~~The Company provided updated guidance for rental revenue, fleet cost expectations and earnings per share for the full year of 2012. The Company’s revenue guidance is based on the ~~first quarter performance, current overall economic conditions, expectations for continued strength~~revenue per day environment experienced in the ~~domestic~~first half of 2012. The Company expects that continued rental day growth, offset by compression in revenue per day, will result in full year 2012 rental revenues increasing modestly compared to 2011.

The Company noted that the used vehicle market has been strong throughout the first half of 2012, and ~~continued improvement in travel volumes,~~ the Company has sold approximately 33,100 vehicles at a realized gain of $36.8 million during the first half of 2012. The Company noted that it ~~has revised~~expects the used vehicle market to remain strong through at least the back half of the year, subject to normal seasonality. The Company noted that gains on sales of Non-Program Vehicles will decline significantly in the back half of the year as the Company’s fleet refresh cycle winds down. The Company is improving its fleet cost outlook for the full year of 2012, which it now expects to range from $200 to $210 per vehicle per month.

The Company noted that the expected improvement in fleet costs will be mostly offset by the change in revenue mix between volume and price. Accordingly, the Company is reaffirming its prior guidance for ~~diluted EPS to be within a range of $5.00 to $5.60. Additionally,~~ Corporate Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2012 ~~is expected to be within a range~~ of $285 million to $310 million.

Finally, the Company noted that it is revising its earnings per share guidance based on share repurchase activity that has been completed through June 30, 2012. The Company is now targeting diluted earnings per share to range from $5.25 to $5.70 per share for 2012, up from its previously announced range of $5.00 to $5.60 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary uses of liquidity are for the purchase of vehicles for its rental fleet, including required collateral enhancement under its fleet financing structures, non-vehicle capital expenditures and working capital. The Company’s need for cash to finance vehicles is seasonal and typically peaks in the second and third quarters of the year when fleet levels build to meet seasonal rental demand. The Company expects to continue to fund its revenue-earning vehicles with borrowings under secured vehicle financing programs, cash provided from operations and proceeds from the disposal of used vehicles. The Company uses both cash and letters of credit to support asset-backed vehicle financing programs. The Company also uses letters of credit or insurance bonds to secure certain commitments related to airport concession agreements, insurance programs and for other purposes. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, secured vehicle financing, sales proceeds from disposal of used vehicles and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company believes that its cash generated from operations, cash balances, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and secured vehicle financing programs are adequate to meet its liquidity requirements for the near future. The Company has asset-backed medium-term note maturities totaling ~~$333~~$83 million that amortize in ~~equal monthly installments from April 2012 through~~ July 2012. In February 2012, the Company terminated the existing senior secured credit facility and replaced it with a $450 million Revolving Credit Facility, and in March 2012, the Company completed the $150 million CAD Series 2012-1 notes.

The secured vehicle financing programs require varying levels of credit enhancement or overcollateralization, which are provided by a combination of cash, vehicles and letters of ~~credit.~~credit under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. Enhancement levels vary based on the source of debt used to finance the vehicles. ~~The letters of credit are provided under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.~~ Additionally, enhancement levels are seasonal and increase significantly during the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters when the fleet is at peak levels. In April 2012, the Company reduced its outstanding enhancement letters of credit supporting its secured vehicle financing facilities by approximately $145 million, utilizing a portion of its excess cash to meet the collateral enhancement requirements under those facilities. As a result of the reduction in letters of credit and seasonal increases in the fleet, the Company increased its investment in its securitization trusts for collateral enhancement purposes to approximately $670 million as of June 30, 2012. The Company retains the flexibility to replace a portion of this cash collateral with funds borrowed under its Revolving Credit Facility or the issuance of letters of credit as it deems appropriate. Enhancement requirements under asset-backed financing sources have changed significantly for the rental car industry as a whole over the past few years, and as a result, enhancement levels under the Series 2011-1 notes, the Series 2011-2 notes and the Series 2010-3 VFN are approximately 45%, compared to 30% on the Series 2007-1 notes. Based on expected future peak fleet levels and the ~~scheduled amortization~~payoff of the Series 2007-1 notes ~~which began~~ in ~~February~~July 2012, the Company expects to provide up to ~~$75~~$150 million of additional enhancement in 2012 compared to 2011 levels.

Net cash generated by operating activities of ~~$115.4~~$235.0 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of net income adjusted for depreciation expense, net of gains on sales of vehicles and income taxes.

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$193.5~~$584.2 million. The principal expenditure of cash from investing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 was for purchases of new revenue-earning vehicles, which totaled ~~$583.6 million,~~$1.3 billion, partially offset by the sale of revenue-earning vehicles, which totaled ~~$251.7 million.~~$0.5 billion. In addition, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, restricted cash and investments, which are restricted for the acquisition of revenue-earning vehicles and payments of the related debt, decreased ~~$139.7~~$154.3 million from December 31, ~~2011 primarily due to scheduled amortization payments on the Series 2007-1 notes.~~2011. The Company also used cash for non-vehicle capital expenditures of ~~$5.1~~$10.0 million. These expenditures consist primarily of airport facility improvements for the Company’s rental locations and information technology-related projects.

Net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$61.3~~$126.0 million primarily due to ~~$180.0~~$510.0 million in borrowings under the Series 2010-3 VFN and ~~$60.1~~$68.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of the CAD Series 2012-1 notes. These borrowings were partially offset by ~~$166.7~~$416.7 million of scheduled debt repayments on the Series 2007-1 notes,~~, $7.8~~ $27.3 million to buy back Company shares under the share repurchase program and $8.6 million in deferred financing costs primarily associated with the issuance of the Revolving Credit ~~Facility and $5.0 million to buy back Company shares under the share repurchase program.~~Facility.

The Company has significant requirements to maintain letters of credit and surety bonds to support its insurance programs, airport concession and other obligations. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Company had ~~$55.6~~$50.6 million in letters of credit, including ~~$51.5~~$46.5 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, and ~~$47.4~~$41.0 million in surety bonds to secure these obligations. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, these surety bonds and letters of credit had not been drawn.

The Company does not conduct operations in foreign jurisdictions other than Canada, and accordingly, cash and cash equivalents would not be subject to repatriation taxes or otherwise stranded in foreign jurisdictions.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In June 2012, the Company executed a vehicle supply agreement with Chrysler Group for a three-year term beginning with program year 2013 (August 1, 2012) and ending at the end of program year 2015 (July 31, 2015), that will allow the Company to source a portion of its vehicle purchases, with certain minimum volumes, through Chrysler Group. Volume requirements may be modified by mutual agreement between the Company and Chrysler Group.

See debt discussion below for an update to the “Total Debt and Other Obligations” section of the table provided in Part II, Item 7 – Contractual Obligations and Commitments in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Asset-Backed Medium-Term Notes

The asset-backed medium-term note program at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 was comprised of ~~$1.2 billion~~$983.3 million in asset-backed medium-term notes with maturities in 2012 through 2015. Borrowings under the asset-backed medium-term notes are secured by eligible vehicle collateral, among other things. The Series 2007-1 notes, of which ~~$333.3~~$83.3 million remained outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, ~~are floating rate notes that~~ were previously effectively converted to fixed rate notes through the entry into swap agreements. In December 2011, the Company terminated its swap agreements related to the Series 2007-1 notes and paid a termination fee of $8.8 million to settle the liability. The remaining unamortized value of the hedge deferredpaid-off in ~~accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt through~~ July 2012. The Series 2011-1 notes, with a fixed blended interest rate of 2.81%, are comprised of $420 million principal amount Class A notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.51% and $80 million principal amount of Class B notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.38%. The Series 2011-2 notes of $400 million have a fixed interest rate of 3.21%. Proceeds from the asset-backed medium-term notes that are not utilized for financing vehicles and certain related receivables are maintained in restricted cash and investment accounts and are available for the purchase of vehicles. These amounts totaled approximately ~~$170.3~~$118.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Series 2011-2 notes required compliance with a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million, consistent with the terms of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

The Series 2007-1 notes began scheduled amortization in February of 2012. During the first ~~quarter~~half of 2012, ~~$166.7~~$416.7 million of principal payments were made with the remaining ~~$333.3~~$83.3 million ~~scheduled to be~~ paid in ~~equal installments through~~ July 2012. The Series 2011-1 notes are expected to begin scheduled amortization in September 2014, and will amortize over a six-month period. The Series 2011-2 notes are expected to begin scheduled amortization in December 2014 and will amortize over a six-month period.

Variable Funding Notes

The variable funding notes at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 were comprised of $600 million in U.S. fleet financing capacity that may be drawn and repaid from time to time in whole or in part during the revolving period, which ends in September 2013.

The Series 2010-3 VFN of $600 million had borrowings of ~~$180~~$510 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012. At the end of the revolving period, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Series 2010-3 VFN will be repaid monthly over a three-month period, beginning in October 2013, with the final expected payment date in December 2013. The facility bears interest at a spread of 130 basis points above each funding institution’s cost of funds, which may be based on either the weighted-average commercial paper rate, a floating one-month LIBOR rate or a Eurodollar rate. The Series 2010-3 VFN had an interest rate of ~~1.57%~~1.58% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012. The Series 2010-3 VFN also has a facility fee commitment rate of up to 0.8% per annum on any unused portion of the facility. The Series 2010-3 VFN requires compliance with a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million, consistent with the terms of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.

Canadian Fleet Financing

On March 9, 2012, the Company completed the CAD Series 2012-1 notes totaling $150 million. These notes have a term of two years and require a program fee of 150 basis points above the one-month rate for Canadian dollar denominated bankers’ acceptances and a utilization fee of 65 basis points on the unused Series CAD 2012-1 amount. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, CAD ~~$60~~$70 million (US ~~$60.1~~$68.8 million) of the CAD Series 2012-1 notes had been drawn. The CAD Series 2012-1 notes had an interest rate of ~~2.63%~~2.69% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 16, 2012, the Company terminated the existing senior secured credit facility and replaced it with a new $450 million Revolving Credit Facility that expires in February 2017. Pricing under the Revolving Credit Facility is grid-based with a spread above LIBOR that will range from 300 basis points to 350 basis points, based upon usage of the facility. Commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility will equal 50 basis points on unused capacity. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to a maximum corporate leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, a minimum corporate interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum corporate EBITDA requirement of $75 million. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants restricting its ability to undertake certain activities, including, among others, restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, make loans, acquisitions or other investments, grant liens on its property, dispose of assets, pay dividends or conduct stock repurchases, make capital expenditures or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has the ability (subject to specified conditions and limitations), among other things, to incur up to $400 million of unsecured indebtedness; to enter into permitted acquisitions of up to $250 million in the aggregate during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and to incur financing and assume indebtedness in connection therewith; to make investments in the Company’s U.S. special-purpose financing entities (including RCFC) and our Canadian special-purpose financing entities, in aggregate amounts at any time outstanding of up to $750 million and $150 million, respectively; and to make dividend, stock repurchase and other restricted payments in an amount up to $300 million, plus 50% of cumulative adjusted net income (or minus 100% of cumulative adjusted net loss, as applicable) for the period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the restricted payment. The Company had approximately ~~$315~~$318 million available under the limitations of the Revolving Credit Facility for these restricted payments at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

In April 2012, the Company reduced the enhancement letters of credit outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility by $145 million and instead satisfied the related enhancement requirements under certain series of RCFC’s notes with cash. The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility of ~~$163.7~~$19.0 million for U.S. enhancement and ~~$51.5~~$46.5 million in general purpose letters of credit with a remaining available capacity of ~~$234.8~~$384.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

~~In April 2012, the Company reduced the letters of credit outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility by $145 million and satisfied the related enhancement requirement with cash.~~

Covenant Compliance

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its financing arrangements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

ITEM 3.3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Table of Contents

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is volatility of interest rates, primarily in the United States. Historically, the Company manages interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. The fair value and average receive rate of the interest rate swaps and caps is calculated using projected market interest rates over the term of the related debt instruments as provided by the counterparties. All items described are non-trading and are stated in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange risk is immaterial to the consolidated results and financial condition of the Company.

Based on the Company’s level of floating rate debt at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, a 50 basis point fluctuation in interest rates would have an approximate $3 million impact on the Company’s expected pretax income on an annual basis. This impact on pretax income would be offset by earnings from cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments, which are invested on a short-term basis and subject to fluctuations in interest rates. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$491.8~~$285.5 million and restricted cash and investments totaled ~~$213.5~~$199.0 million.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in the Company’s quantitative disclosures about market risk compared to December 31, 2011, which are included under Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, except for the change in fair value for the tabular entries, “Vehicle Debt and Obligations -– Floating Rates,” from $495.8 million at December 31, 2011 to ~~$512.3~~$593.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, which increase primarily related to borrowings under the Series 2010-3 VFN of ~~$180~~$510.0 million, partially offset by payments of ~~$166.7~~$416.7 million of the Series 2007-1 ~~notes and~~notes; “Vehicle Debt and Obligations – Fixed Rates” from $899.3 million at December 31, 2011 to ~~$919.9~~$923.4 million at ~~March 31, 2012,~~June 30, 2012; and the addition of the “Vehicle Debt and Obligations – Canadian Dollar Denominated” totaling ~~$60.1~~$68.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012.

ITEM 4.4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Table of Contents

~~Disclosure Controls and Procedures~~

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.

~~Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting~~

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act, identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal control performed during the fiscal quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Table of Contents

For a detailed description of certain legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The following recent development pertaining to a legal proceeding described in the Company’s Form 10-K is furnished on a supplemental basis:

Aside from the above, ~~mentioned,~~ none of the other legal proceedings described in the Company’s Form 10-K have experienced material changes.

Various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings have been in the past, or may be in the future, asserted or instituted against the Company, including other purported class actions or proceedings relating to the Hertz transaction terminated in October 2010 and some that may demand large monetary damages or other relief which could result in significant expenditures. The Company is also subject to potential liability related to environmental matters. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and environmental matters when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures in excess of established reserves. The term “reasonably possible” is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than probable. Disclosure for specific legal contingencies is provided if the likelihood of occurrence is at least reasonably possible and the exposure is considered material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of previously accrued reserves and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of a further loss and the estimated amount of the loss. With respect to outstanding litigation and environmental matters, based on current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

~~(a)~~

~~In November 2011, $100 million was pre-funded under a forward stock repurchase agreement; however, the shares were not delivered until the settlement of the agreement in February 2012.~~

In September 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased the authorization of the share repurchase program to $400 million. The share repurchase program is discretionary and has no expiration date. Subject to applicable law, the Company may repurchase shares through forward stock repurchase agreements, accelerated stock buyback programs, directly in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to derivative instruments or plans complying with SEC Rule 10b5-1, among other types of transactions and arrangements. The Revolving Credit Facility contains limitations on share repurchases. See Item 1 -– Note 7 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately ~~$105.0~~$127.3 million ($100 million of which was pre-funded in November 2011) of its common stock under this share repurchase program at an average price of ~~$69.30~~$70.80 per share. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2012, approximately ~~$295~~$273 million remained available for further purchases of Company’s common stock under this share repurchase program. The Company currently expects to repurchase shares in 2012 under the remaining authorization of the share repurchase program. For additional information regarding share repurchases, see Item 1 – Note 14 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. The share repurchase program may be increased, suspended or discontinued at any time.
