Back in the day the rental companies were owned by car makers for a while, Hertz was by Ford as many of you remember. But I don't think there's any common ownership at play here today right? I suspect it's purely a paid promotional consideration of some sort.

Of course, just like I didn't usually get Ford products even when Hertz was still owned by Ford, I don't usually get Chrysler products now.
I'm thinking you're right about the promotional deal or something. Chrysler has been mentioned a lot recently in press releases and especially in the Hub...
