Absolutely nooooo idea...

However, I would suspect it is not treated any differently than any other one-way. As I said above, receiving location has nothing to do with the finances. From DSM's point of view, they are renting an MKE-owned car. Therefore, they get 60%, while MKE gets 40%. What happens to the car when it gets to MCI is out of DSM's hands--most likely, ownership of the car will transfer from MKE to MCI, but that doesn't matter to DSM.

There may be some restrictions on franchises renting corporate one-way cars, though. Corporate may specify that they can only be rented back to the original owning location. I don't know--this isn't really a very common occurrence up here...
