Here is the link if you would like to read more. Remember that this is still pending whether Hertz will buy DTAG.
My conjecture:
a) In most of the airports where Hertz is divesting a Dollar/Thrifty they are divesting Dollar OR Thrifty, hence still gaining a second brand in that market.
b) Hertz is betting that Advantage/
U-Save will not survive or thrive in the long term. (FSNA operates U-Save)
