PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Our Company

We own what we believe is the largest worldwide general use car rental brand and one of the largest equipment rental businesses in the United States and Canada combined, both based on revenues. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. In our car rental business segment, we and our independent licensees and associates accept reservations for car rentals at approximately 8,000 locations in approximately 145 countries. We are the only car rental company that has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We maintain the leading airport car rental brand market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at the 69 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through 376 branches in the United States, Canada, France and Spain, as well as through our international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. This has helped us to earn a pre-tax profit in each year since our incorporation in 1967. Our revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 7.3% over the last 20 years, with year-over-year growth in 18 of those 20 years.

Corporate History

Hertz Holdings was incorporated by the Sponsors in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Ford acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of UAL Corporation (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.

The Acquisition

On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors, through wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings, acquired all of Hertz's common stock from a subsidiary of Ford in the Acquisition, for aggregate consideration of $4,379 million in cash, debt refinanced or assumed of $10,116 million and transaction fees and expenses of $447 million. To finance the cash consideration for the Acquisition, to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and to pay related transaction fees and expenses, the Sponsors used:

In connection with the Acquisition and related transactions, we also refinanced our existing indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $8,346 million, through the following transactions, which was repaid as follows:

5


Initial and Secondary Public Offering

In November 2006, we completed our initial public offering of 88,235,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $15.00, with proceeds to us before underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $1.3 billion. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings that were outstanding under a $1.0 billion loan facility entered into by Hertz Holdings, or the "Hertz Holdings Loan Facility," and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was used primarily to pay a special cash dividend of $4.32 per share to our common stockholders on June 30, 2006. The proceeds of the offering were also used to pay special cash dividends of $1.12 per share on November 21, 2006 to stockholders of record of Hertz Holdings immediately prior to the initial public offering.

In June 2007, the Sponsors completed a secondary public offering of 51,750,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock at a per share price of $22.25. We did not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. We paid approximately $2.0 million in expenses relating to the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions of the selling stockholders, pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into at the time of the Acquisition. Immediately following the secondary public offering, the Sponsors' ownership percentage in us decreased to approximately 55%.

Our Markets

We operate in the global car rental industry and in the equipment rental industry, primarily in the United States.

Worldwide Car Rental

We believe that the global car rental industry exceeds $30 billion in annual revenues. According to a 2007 report appearing in Auto Rental News, car rental revenues in the United States are estimated to be approximately $22 billion in 2007 and have grown at a 5.1% compound annual growth rate since 1990, including 5.5% growth in 2007. We believe car rental revenues in Western Europe account for over $12.5 billion in annual revenues, with the airport portion of the industry comprising approximately 40% of the total. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, France and the United Kingdom. We believe total rental revenues for the car rental industry in Europe in 2006 were approximately $10 billion in the nine countries—France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg—where we have company-operated rental locations and over $2.5 billion in eight other countries—Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Finland—where our brand is present through our licensees.

We estimate that rentals by airline travelers at or near airports, or "airport rentals," accounted for approximately one-half of the total market in the United States. This portion of the market is significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic, or "enplanements." The Federal Aviation Administration, or "FAA," projected in the first half of 2007 that domestic enplanements will grow at an average annual rate of 3.4% from 2007 to 2020, consistent with long-term historical trends. We believe car rentals in Western Europe account for over $12.5 billion in annual revenues, with the airport portion of the industry comprising approximately 40% of the total. The International Air Transport Association, or "IATA," projected in December 2007 that annual international enplanements would grow 3.5% in 2008.

6

The off-airport portion of the industry has rental volume primarily driven by local business use, leisure travel and the replacement of cars being repaired. Because Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel, the European off-airport car rental market is significantly more developed than it is in the United States. However, we believe that in recent years, industry revenues from off-airport car rentals in the United States have grown faster than revenues from airport rentals.

Equipment Rental

We estimate the size of the U.S. equipment rental industry, which is highly fragmented with few national competitors and many regional and local operators, to be approximately $38 billion in annual revenues for 2007, but the part of the rental industry dealing with equipment of the type HERC rents is somewhat smaller than that. We believe that the industry grew at a 10.2% compound annual growth rate between 1991 and 2007. Other market data indicates that the equipment rental industries in France and Spain generate roughly $5 billion and $2 billion in annual revenues, respectively, although the portions of those markets in which HERC competes are smaller.

The equipment rental industry serves a broad range of customers from small local contractors to large industrial national accounts and encompasses a wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy earthmoving equipment. The industry has undergone a strong recovery following the industrial recession and downturn in non-residential construction spending between 2001 and 2003. We believe U.S. non-residential construction spending grew at an annual rate of 3% in 2007 but is projected to decrease at an annual rate of 2% in 2008. We also believe, based on an article in Rental Equipment Register published on February 1, 2006, that rental equipment accounted for approximately 30% to 40% of all equipment sold into the U.S. construction industry in 2005, up from approximately 5% to 10% in 1991. In addition, we believe that the trend toward rental instead of ownership of equipment in the U.S. construction industry will continue and that as much as 50% of the equipment used in the industry could be rental equipment within the next ten years.

Our Business Segments

Our business consists of two segments, car rental and equipment rental. In addition, "corporate and other" includes general corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as third-party claim management services.

Car Rental: Our "company-operated" rental locations are those through which we, or an agent of ours, rent cars that we own or lease. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations both in the United States and internationally, and what we believe to be the largest number of company-operated airport car rental locations in the world, enabling us to provide consistent quality and service worldwide. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we derived approximately 69% of our worldwide car rental revenues from airport locations. Our licensees and associates also operate rental locations in over 140 countries and jurisdictions, including most of the countries in which we have company-operated rental locations.

Equipment Rental: On the basis of total revenues, we believe HERC is the one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined and in France and Spain. HERC rents a broad range of earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks. HERC also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables.

Worldwide Car Rental

Operations

We rent a wide variety of makes and models of cars, nearly all of which are the current or previous year's models. We generally accept reservations only for a class of vehicles, although we accept reservations for specific makes and models of vehicles in our Prestige Collection luxury rental program, our Fun Collection experiential rental program, our Green Collection environmentally friendly rental program and

8


a limited number of models in high-volume, leisure-oriented destinations. We rent cars on an hourly (in select markets), daily, weekend, weekly, monthly or multi-month basis, with rental charges computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. Our rates vary at different locations depending on local market conditions and other competitive and cost factors. While cars are usually returned to the locations from which they are rented, we also allow one-way rentals from and to certain locations. In addition to car rentals and licensee fees, we generate revenues from reimbursements by customers of airport concession fees and vehicle licensing costs, fueling charges, and charges for ancillary customer products and services such as supplemental equipment (child seats and ski racks), loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, Hertz NeverLost navigation systems and satellite radio services.

We have company-operated rental locations both in the United States and internationally. The international car rental operations that generated the highest volumes of business from our company-operated locations for the year ended December 31, 2007 were, in descending order of revenues, those conducted in France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain and Canada. We also have company-operated rental locations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Brazil, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Luxembourg and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 1,900 staffed rental locations in the United States, of which approximately one-fourth were airport locations and three-fourths were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from approximately 1,100 other locations that are not staffed. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 1,200 staffed rental locations internationally, of which approximately one-fifth were airport locations and four-fifths were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from approximately 100 other locations that are not staffed. We believe that our extensive U.S. and international network of company-operated locations contributes to the consistency of our service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and ability to offer one-way rentals.

In order to operate airport rental locations, we have obtained concessions or similar leasing, licensing or permitting agreements or arrangements, or "concessions," granting us the right to conduct a car rental business at all major, and many other, airports with regularly scheduled passenger service in each country where we have company-operated rental locations, except for airports where our licensees operate rental locations and Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida. Our concessions were obtained from the airports' operators, which are typically governmental bodies or authorities, following either negotiation or bidding for the right to operate a car rental business there. The terms of an airport concession typically require us to pay the airport's operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues we generate at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Under most concessions, we must also pay fixed rent for terminal counters or other leased properties and facilities. Most concessions are for a fixed length of time, while others create operating rights and payment obligations that are terminable at any time.

The terms of our concessions typically do not forbid, and in a few instances actually require, us to seek reimbursement from customers of concession fees we pay; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids our doing so. Where we are required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is our general practice to do so. The number of car rental concessions available at airports varies considerably, but, except at small, regional airports, it is rarely less than four. At Orlando International Airport, where we do not have a car rental concession, we operate an airport rental location at a facility located near the airport's premises and pick up and drop off our customers at the airport under a permit from the airport's operator. Certain of our concession agreements require the consent of the airport's operator in connection with changes in ownership of us. We sought those consents that were required in connection with our initial public offering of our common stock, except where not obtaining them would not, in our view, have had a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We face risks related to changes in our ownership."

The Hertz brand is one of the most recognized brands in the world. It has been listed in Business Week's "100 Most Valuable Global Brands" every year that it was eligible for inclusion in the study since the study's inception in 2001. The Hertz brand has been the only travel company brand to appear in the study. Moreover, our customer surveys indicate that in, the United States, Hertz is the car rental brand most associated with the highest quality service. This is consistent with numerous published best-in class car rental awards that we have won, both in the United States and internationally, over many years. We have sought to support our reputation for quality and customer service in car rental through a variety of innovative service offerings, such as our customer loyalty program (Hertz #1 Club), our global expedited rental program (Hertz #1 Club Gold), our one-way rental program (Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There), our national-scale luxury rental program (Prestige Collection), our national-scale experiential rental program (Hertz Fun Collection), our environmentally friendly rental program (Green Collection) and our in-car navigational services (Hertz NeverLost). We intend to maintain our position as a premier company through an intense focus on service, quality and product innovation.

In 2007, we introduced Simply Wheelz by Hertz, a new company under the Hertz brand which offers leisure travelers faster, easier and more affordable access to popular rental cars. Simply Wheelz offers an easy-to-use website for reservations and self-service rental machines to rent and return vehicles. Simply Wheelz is currently accepting reservations in our Orlando, Florida and Alicante and Malaga, Spain locations.

In the United States, the Hertz brand had the highest market share, by revenues, in 2006 and in the first eight months of 2007 at the approximately 180 largest airports where we operated. Out of the approximately 160 major European airports at which we have company-operated rental locations, data regarding car rental concessionaire activity for the year ended December 31, 2006 was available at 69 of these airports. Based upon this data, we believe that we were the largest airport car rental company, measured by aggregate airport rental revenues during that period, at those 69 airports taken together. In the United States, we intend to maintain or expand our market share in the airport rental business. For a further description of our competitors, market share and competitive position see "—Competition" below.

At our major airport rental locations, as well as at some smaller airport and off-airport locations, customers participating in our Hertz #1 Club Gold program are able to rent vehicles in an expedited manner. In the United States, participants in Hertz #1 Club Gold often bypass the rental counter entirely and proceed directly to their vehicles upon arrival at our facility. For the year ended December 31, 2007, rentals by Hertz #1 Club Gold members accounted for approximately 41% of our worldwide rental transactions. We believe the Hertz #1 Club Gold program provides a significant competitive advantage to us, particularly among frequent travelers, and we have, through travel industry relationships, targeted such travelers for participation in the program.

In addition to our airport locations, we operate off-airport locations offering car rental services to a variety of customers. Our off-airport rental customers include people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. Our off-airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their cars were damaged, those expecting to lease cars that are not yet available from their leasing companies and those needing cars while theirs are being repaired or are temporarily unavailable for other reasons; we call these customers "replacement renters." At many of our off-airport locations we will provide pick-up and delivery services in connection with rentals.

When compared to our airport rental locations, an off-airport rental location typically services the same variety of customers, uses smaller rental facilities with fewer employees, conducts pick-up and delivery services and deals with replacement renters using specialized systems and processes. In addition, on average, off-airport locations generate fewer transactions per period than airport locations. At the same

10


time, though, our airport and off-airport rental locations employ common car fleets, are supervised by common country, regional and local area management, use many common systems and rely on common maintenance and administrative centers. Moreover, airport and off-airport locations, excluding replacement rentals, benefit from many common marketing activities and have many of the same customers. As a consequence, we regard both types of locations as aspects of a single, unitary, car rental business.

We believe that the off-airport portion of the car rental market offers opportunities for us on several levels. First, presence in the off-airport market can provide customers a more convenient and geographically extensive network of rental locations, thereby creating revenue opportunities from replacement renters, non-airline travel renters and airline travelers with local rental needs. Second, it can give us a more balanced revenue mix by reducing our reliance on airport travel and therefore limiting our risk exposure to external events that may disrupt airline travel trends. Third, it can produce higher fleet utilization as a result of the longer average rental periods associated with off-airport business, compared to those of airport rentals. Fourth, replacement rental volume is far less seasonal than that of other business and leisure rentals, which permits efficiencies in both fleet and labor planning. Finally, cross-selling opportunities exist for us to promote off-airport rentals among frequent airport Hertz #1 Club renters and, conversely, to promote airport rentals to off-airport renters. In view of those benefits, along with our belief that our market share for off-airport rentals is generally smaller than our market share for airport rentals, we intend to seek profitable growth in the off-airport rental market, both in the United States and internationally.

In the three years ended December 31, 2007, we increased the number of our off-airport rental locations in the United States by approximately 27% to approximately 1,580 locations. In 2008 and subsequent years, our strategy may include selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and pursuit of same-store sales growth. We anticipate that same-store sales growth would be driven by our traditional leisure and business traveler customers and by increasing penetration of the insurance replacement market, of which we currently have a low market share. In the United States during the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately one-third of our rental revenues at off-airport locations were related to replacement rentals. We believe that if we successfully pursue our strategy of profitable off-airport growth, the proportion of replacement rental revenues will increase. As we move forward, our determination of whether to continue to expand our U.S. off-airport network will be based upon a combination of factors, including the concentration of target insurance company policy holders, car dealerships, auto body shops and other clusters of retail, commercial activity and potential profitability. We also intend to increase the number of our staffed off-airport rental locations internationally on the basis of similar criteria.

In addition to renting cars, in Germany we also rent trucks of eight tons and over, including truck tractors. This truck rental fleet consists of approximately 3,700 vehicles, which have either been acquired under repurchase programs similar to those under which we purchase program cars, or are under operating leases. We believe we are a market leader in heavy truck rental in Germany. Also, we are engaged in the car leasing business in Brazil and Australia. Our truck rental activities in Germany and our car leasing activities in Brazil and Australia are treated as part of our international car rental business in our consolidated financial statements.

Our worldwide car rental segment generated $6,920.6 million in revenues and $468.6 million in income before income taxes and minority interest during the year ended December 31, 2007.

We may also, from time to time, pursue profitable growth within our car rental business by pursuing opportunistic acquisitions, which may be significant, that would expand our global car rental business.

Customers and Business Mix

We categorize our car rental business based on two primary criteria—the purpose for which customers rent from us (business or leisure) and the type of location from which they rent (airport or off-airport). The table below sets forth, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the percentages of rental revenues and rental transactions in our U.S. and international operations derived from business and leisure rentals and from airport and off-airport rentals.

Customers who rent from us for "business" purposes include those who require cars in connection with commercial activities, the activities of governments and other organizations or for temporary vehicle replacement purposes. Most business customers rent cars from us on terms that we have negotiated with their employers or other entities with which they are associated, and those terms can differ substantially from the terms on which we rent cars to the general public. We have negotiated arrangements relating to car rental with many large businesses, governments and other organizations, including most Fortune 500 companies.

Customers who rent from us for "leisure" purposes include not only individual travelers booking vacation travel rentals with us but also people renting to meet other personal needs. Leisure rentals, taken as a whole, are longer in duration and generate more revenue per transaction than do business rentals, although some types of business rentals, such as rentals to replace temporarily unavailable cars, have a long average duration. Business rentals and leisure rentals have different characteristics and place different types of demands on our operations. We believe that maintaining an appropriate balance between business and leisure rentals is important to the profitability of our business and the consistency of our operations.

Our business and leisure customers rent from both our airport and off-airport locations. Demand for airport rentals is correlated with airline travel patterns, and transaction volumes generally follow enplanement trends on a global basis. Customers often make reservations for airport rentals when they book their flight plans, which makes our strong relationships with travel agents, associations and other partners (e.g., airlines) a key competitive advantage in generating consistent and recurring revenue streams.

Off-airport rentals typically involve people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. This category also includes people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies because their cars have been damaged. In order to attract these renters, we must establish agreements with the referring insurers establishing the relevant rental terms, including the arrangements made for billing and payment. While we estimate our share of the insurance replacement rental market

12


was approximately 8% of the estimated rental revenue volume for the year ended December 31, 2007, we have identified 215 insurance companies, ranging from local or regional carriers to large, national companies, as our target insurance replacement market. As of December 31, 2007, we were a preferred or recognized supplier of approximately 150 of these 215 insurance companies. Although Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, or "Enterprise," currently has the largest share of the insurance replacement market, we believe that many of these companies are receptive to our replacement rental offerings and prefer to have at least two national rental car suppliers. Enterprise has asserted that certain systems we use to conduct insurance replacement rentals infringe on its patent rights, and we have sued Enterprise to establish our continued right to use these systems. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations."

We conduct active sales and marketing programs to attract and retain customers. Our commercial and travel industry sales force calls on companies and other organizations whose employees and associates need to rent cars for business purposes, as well as on membership associations, tour operators, travel companies and other groups whose members, participants and customers rent cars for either business or leisure purposes. A specialized sales force calls on companies with replacement rental needs, including insurance and leasing companies and car dealers. We also advertise our car rental offerings through a variety of traditional media, such as television and newspapers, direct mail and the Internet. In addition to advertising, we also conduct a variety of other forms of marketing and promotion, including travel industry business partnerships and press and public relations activities.

In almost all cases, when we rent a car, we rent it directly to an individual who is identified in a written rental agreement that we prepare. Except when we are accommodating someone who cannot drive, the individual to whom we rent a car is required to have a valid driver's license and meet other rental criteria (including minimum age and creditworthiness requirements) that vary on the basis of location and type of rental. Our rental agreements permit only the individual renting the car, people signing additional authorized operator forms and certain defined categories of other individuals (such as fellow employees, parking attendants and in some cases spouses or domestic partners) to operate the car.

With rare exceptions, individuals renting cars from us are personally obligated to pay all amounts due under their rental agreements. They typically pay us with a charge, credit or debit card issued by a third party, although certain customers use a Hertz charge account that we have established for them, usually as part of an agreement between us and their employer. For the year ended December 31, 2007, all amounts charged to Hertz charge accounts established in the United States and by our international subsidiaries, were billed directly to a company or other organization or were guaranteed by a company. We also issue rental vouchers and certificates that may be used to pay rental charges, mostly for prepaid and tour-related rentals. In addition, where the law requires us to do so, we rent cars on a cash basis.

In the United States for the year ended December 31, 2007, 86% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 8% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts, 5% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 1% came from cash transactions. In our international operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, 53% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 27% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts, 18% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 2% came from cash transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2007, bad debt expense represented 0.1% of car rental revenues for our U.S. operations and 0.3% of car rental revenues for our international operations.

13

Reservations

When customers reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees, they may seek to do so through travel agents or third-party travel websites. In many of those cases, the travel agent or website will utilize a third-party operated computerized reservation system, also known as a global distribution system, or "GDS," to contact us and make the reservation. There are currently four principal GDSs, two of which are now under common ownership, and we have contracts with all of them providing that we will process reservation requests made through the GDSs. Historically, GDSs were owned and operated by airlines and were subject to extensive regulation along with their airline owners. In recent years, however, airlines have greatly reduced their ownership interests in GDSs and the level of regulation to which GDSs are subject has substantially decreased.

In major countries, including the United States and all other countries with company-operated locations, customers may also reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees worldwide through local, national or toll-free telephone calls to our reservations centers, directly through our rental locations or, in the case of replacement rentals, through proprietary automated systems serving the insurance industry. Additionally, we accept reservations for rentals from us and our licensees worldwide through our websites. Our websites, which also allow customers to enroll in loyalty programs, obtain copies of bills for past transactions and obtain information about our rental offerings, have grown significantly in importance as a reservations channel in recent years. Third-party travel websites have also grown in importance to us as a reservations channel.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 32% of the worldwide reservations we accepted came through travel agents using GDSs, while 27% came through phone calls to our reservations centers, 27% through our websites, 8% through third-party websites and 6% through local booking sources.

Fleet

We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new cars in the world. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we also purchased approximately 6,500 used cars that were similar to other cars in our rental fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we operated a peak rental fleet in the United States of approximately 338,800 cars and a combined peak rental fleet in our international operations of approximately 174,300 cars, in each case exclusive of our licensees' fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2007, our approximate average holding period for a rental car was 11 months in the United States and nine months in our international operations.

Over the five years ended December 31, 2007, we have acquired, subject to availability, approximately 67% of our cars pursuant to various fleet repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. For the year ended December 31, 2007, program cars as a percentage of all cars purchased by our U.S. operations were 42% and as a percentage of all cars purchased by our international operations were approximately 65%, or 50% when calculated on an aggregate worldwide basis. Under these programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain car condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Repurchase prices under repurchase programs are based on either a predetermined percentage of original car cost and the month in which the car is returned or the original capitalized cost less a set daily depreciation amount. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the cars covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the cars. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to cars purchased under the programs and allow us to determine depreciation expense in advance. For this reason, cars purchased by car rental companies under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are sometimes referred to by industry participants

14


as "program" cars. Conversely, those cars not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs for which the car rental company is exposed to residual risk are sometimes referred to as "non-program" cars.

The percentage of our car rental fleet subject to repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs has substantially decreased due primarily to changes in the overall terms offered by automobile manufacturers under repurchase programs. Accordingly, we bear increased risk relating to the residual market value and the related depreciation on our car rental fleet and must use different rotational techniques to accommodate our seasonal peak demand for cars.

Over the five years ended December 31, 2007, approximately 40% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 31% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 24% of the cars acquired by us domestically were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries and approximately 25% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. The percentage of the fleet which we purchase from Ford has declined as we try to further diversify our fleet to meet customer demands and minimize overall costs. See "—Relationship with Ford" and Note 14 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Historically, we have also purchased a significant percentage of our car rental fleet from General Motors Corporation, or "General Motors." Over the five years ended December 31, 2007, approximately 22% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 27% of the cars acquired by our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 13% of the cars we acquired, on a worldwide basis, were manufactured by Toyota.

Purchases of cars are financed through cash from operations and by active and ongoing global borrowing programs. See "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We maintain automobile maintenance centers at certain airports and in certain urban and off-airport areas, providing maintenance facilities for our car rental fleet. Many of these facilities, which include sophisticated car diagnostic and repair equipment, are accepted by automobile manufacturers as eligible to perform and receive reimbursement for warranty work. Collision damage and major repairs are generally performed by independent contractors.

We dispose of non-program cars, as well as program cars that have for any reason become ineligible for manufacturer repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs, through a variety of disposition channels, including auctions, brokered sales, sales to wholesalers and dealers and, to a lesser extent and primarily in the United States, sales at retail through a network of eight company-operated car sales locations dedicated exclusively to the sale of used cars from our rental fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2007, of the cars that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 90% at auction or on a wholesale basis, while 4% were sold at retail and 6% through other channels.

Licensees

We believe that our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations contributes to the consistency of our high-quality service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and our ability to offer one-way rentals. However, in certain predominantly smaller U.S. and international markets, we have found it more efficient to utilize independent licensees, which rent cars that they own. Our licensees operate locations in over 140 countries, including most of the countries

15


where we have company-operated locations. As of December 31, 2007, we owned 96% of all the cars in the combined company-owned and licensee-owned fleets in the United States.

We believe that our licensee arrangements are important to our business because they enable us to offer expanded national and international service and a broader one-way rental program. Licenses are issued principally by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hertz System, Inc., or "System," and Hertz International, Ltd., or "HIL," under franchise arrangements to independent licensees and affiliates who are engaged in the car rental business in the United States and in many foreign countries.

Licensees generally pay fees based on a percentage of their revenues or the number of cars they operate. The operations of all licensees, including the purchase and ownership of vehicles, are financed independently by the licensees, and we do not have any investment interest in the licensees or their fleets. System licensees share in the cost of our U.S. advertising program, reservations system, sales force and certain other services. Our European and other international licensees also share in the cost of our reservations system, sales force and certain other services. In return, licensees are provided the use of the Hertz brand name, management and administrative assistance and training, reservations through our reservations channels, the Hertz #1 Club and #1 Club Gold programs, our "Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There" one-way rental program and other services. In addition to car rental, certain licensees outside the United States engage in car leasing, chauffeur-driven rentals and renting camper vans under the Hertz name.

System licensees ordinarily are limited as to transferability without our consent and are terminable by us only for cause or after a fixed term. Licensees in the United States may generally terminate for any reason on 90 days' notice. In Europe and certain other international jurisdictions, licensees typically do not have early termination rights. Initial license fees or the price for the sale to a licensee of a company-owned location may be payable over a term of several years. We continue to issue new licenses and, from time to time, purchase licensee businesses.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we added 48 locations by acquiring former franchisees of our domestic and international car rental operations. These acquisitions give us greater control over our growth both in the United States and internationally and an expanded array of services across the Hertz network. See Note 2 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Competition

In the United States, our principal car rental industry competitors are Avis Budget Group, Inc., or "ABG," which currently operates the Avis and Budget brands, Enterprise, which operates the National Car Rental, Alamo and Enterprise brands, and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or "DTG," which operates the Dollar and Thrifty brands.

The following table lists our estimated market share, and the estimated market shares of our principal competitors and their licensees, at the approximately 180 largest U.S. airports at which we have company-operated locations, determined on the basis of revenues reported to the airports' operators on

16


which concession or off-airport permit fees are determined for the indicated periods. Complete market share data is not available for any date later than for the eight months ended August 31, 2007.

ABG acquired all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. on March 1, 2001 and acquired substantially all of the domestic assets of the vehicle rental business of Budget Group, Inc. on November 22, 2002.

National and Alamo were purchased by Enterprise in August 2007.

The U.S. off-airport rental market has historically been dominated by Enterprise. We now have a significant presence in the off-airport market, and ABG's brands also are present. Many smaller companies also operate in the airport and off-airport rental markets.

In Europe, in addition to us, the principal pan-European participants in the car rental industry are Avis Europe plc (which is not an affiliate of ABG but is operating under a license from ABG), which operates the Avis and Budget brands, and Europcar, which was acquired from Volkswagen AG by Eurazeo in 2006. Europcar also operates the National Car Rental and Alamo brands in the United Kingdom and Germany, and through franchises in Spain, Italy and France. In certain European countries, there are also other companies and brands with substantial market shares, including Sixt AG (operating the Sixt brand) and Enterprise (operating the Enterprise brand) in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. In 2006, Europcar acquired the European business of Vanguard Car Rental Holdings LLC or "Vanguard," (which previously operated the National and Alamo brands) and entered into an agreement relating to a trans-Atlantic alliance with Vanguard. In every European country, there are also national, regional or other, smaller companies operating in the airport and off-airport rentals markets. Apart from Enterprise-branded operations, all of which Enterprise owns, the other major car rental brands are present in European car rental markets through a combination of company-operated and franchisee- or licensee-operated locations.

Competition among car rental industry participants is intense and frequently takes the form of price competition. For the year ended December 31, 2007, based on publicly available information, we believe some U.S. car rental brands experienced transaction day growth and rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," increases compared to comparable prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced a low to mid single digit volume increase versus 2006 in the United States, while

17


RPD was down less than one percentage point. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced mid to high single digit volume growth in our European operations and our car rental RPD was above the level of our RPD during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Our competitors, some of which may have access to substantial capital or which may benefit from lower operating costs, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that we match downward competitor pricing without reducing our operating costs, it could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that we are not willing to match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors' pricing, it could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations, as we may lose market share. As a result of increased use of the Internet as a travel distribution channel, pricing transparency has increased. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing, or an inability to increase prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations." We believe, however, that the prominence and service reputation of the Hertz brand and our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations provide us with a competitive advantage.

Equipment Rental

Operations

We, through HERC, operate an equipment rental business in the United States, Canada, France and Spain. On the basis of total revenues, we believe HERC is one of the largest equipment rental companies in the United States and Canada combined and in France and Spain. HERC has operated in the United States since 1965.

HERC's principal business is the rental of equipment. HERC offers a broad range of equipment for rental; major categories include earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, pumps, generators, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks.

HERC's comprehensive line of equipment enables it to supply equipment to a wide variety of customers from local contractors to large industrial plants. The fact that many larger companies, particularly those with industrial plant operations, now require single source vendors, not only for equipment rental, but also for management of their total equipment needs fits well with HERC's core competencies. Arrangements with such companies may include maintenance of the tools and equipment they own, supplies and rental tools for their labor force and custom management reports. HERC supports this through its dedicated in-plant operations, tool trailers and plant management systems.

As of December 31, 2007, HERC operated 376 equipment rental branches, of which 248 were in 41 states within the United States, 34 were in Canada, 84 were in France and 10 were in Spain. HERC's rental locations generally are situated in industrial or commercial zones. A growing number of locations have highway or major thoroughfare visibility. The typical location is approximately three acres in size, though smaller in Europe, and includes a customer service center, an equipment service area and storage facilities for equipment. The branches are built or conform to the specifications of the HERC prototype branch, which stresses efficiency, safety and environmental compliance. Most branches have stand-alone maintenance and fueling facilities and showrooms.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, HERC added eight and six U.S. locations, respectively, two and one new Canadian location(s), respectively, and seven and seven locations in Europe, respectively. HERC expects to add over 30 additional locations worldwide in 2008. In connection with its U.S. expansion, we expect HERC will incur non-fleet start-up costs of approximately $0.7 million per location and additional fleet acquisition costs, including costs to transport equipment from one branch to another, over an initial twelve-month period of approximately $2 to $4 million per

18


location. In its European expansion, we expect HERC will incur lower start-up costs per location as compared with the United States.

Starting in 2004, HERC began to broaden its equipment line in the United States and Canada to include more equipment with an acquisition cost of under $10,000 per unit, ranging from air compressors and generators to small tools and accessories, in order to supply customers who are local contractors with a greater proportion of their overall equipment rental needs. As of December 31, 2007, these activities, referred to as "general rental activities," were conducted at approximately 49% of HERC's U.S. and Canadian rental locations. Before it begins to conduct general rental activities at a location, HERC typically renovates the location to make it more appealing to walk-in customers and adds staff and equipment in anticipation of subsequent demand.

Our worldwide equipment rental segment generated $1,755.9 million in revenues and $308.5 million in income before income taxes and minority interest during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Customers

HERC's customers consist predominantly of commercial accounts and represent a wide variety of industries, such as construction, petrochemical, automobile manufacturing, railroad, power generation and shipbuilding. Serving a number of different industries enables HERC to reduce its dependence on a single or limited number of customers in the same business and somewhat reduces the seasonality of HERC's revenues and its dependence on construction cycles. HERC primarily targets customers in medium to large metropolitan markets. For the year ended December 31, 2007, no customer of HERC accounted for more than 2.0% of HERC's rental revenues. Of HERC's combined U.S. and Canadian rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, roughly half were derived from customers operating in the construction industry (the majority of which were in the non-residential sector), while the remaining revenues were derived from rentals to industrial, governmental and other types of customers.

Unlike in our car rental business, where we enter into rental agreements with the people who will operate the cars being rented, HERC ordinarily enters into a rental agreement with the legal entity—typically a company, governmental body or other organization—seeking to rent HERC's equipment. Moreover, unlike in our car rental business, where our cars are normally picked up and dropped off by customers at our rental locations, HERC delivers much of its rental equipment to its customers' job sites and retrieves the equipment from the job sites when the rentals conclude. Finally, unlike in our car rental business, HERC extends credit terms to many of its customers to pay for rentals. Thus, for the year ended December 31, 2007, 94% of HERC's revenues came from customers who were invoiced by HERC for rental charges, while 5% came from customers paying with third-party charge, credit or debit cards and 1% came from customers who paid with cash or used another method of payment. For the year ended December 31, 2007, bad debt expense represented 0.3% of HERC revenues.

Fleet

HERC acquires its equipment from a variety of manufacturers. The equipment is typically new at the time of acquisition and is not subject to any repurchase program. The per-unit acquisition cost of units of rental equipment in HERC's fleet vary from over $200,000 to under $100. As of December 31, 2007, the average per-unit acquisition cost (excluding small equipment purchased for less than $5,000 per unit) for HERC's fleet in the United States was approximately $35,000. As of December 31, 2007, the average age of HERC's rental fleet in the United States was 29 months. We believe that this fleet is one of the youngest fleets in the industry. Having a younger fleet reduces maintenance expenses, which generally escalate as equipment ages. As of December 31, 2007, the average age of HERC's international rental fleet was 30 months in Canada and 27 months in France and Spain, which we believe is roughly comparable to or younger than the average ages of the fleets of HERC's principal competitors in those countries.

HERC disposes of its used equipment through a variety of channels, including private sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions. Ancillary to its rental business, HERC is also a dealer of certain brands of new equipment in the United States and Canada, and sells consumables such as gloves and hardhats at many of its rental locations.

Licensees

HERC licenses the Hertz name to equipment rental businesses in eight countries in Europe and the Middle East. The terms of those licenses are broadly similar to those we grant to our international car rental licensees.

Competition

HERC's competitors in the equipment rental industry range from other large national companies to small regional and local businesses. In each of the four countries where HERC operates, the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented, with large numbers of companies operating on a regional or local scale. The number of industry participants operating on a national scale is, however, much smaller. HERC is one of the principal national-scale industry participants in each of the four countries where it operates. HERC's operations in the United States represented approximately 73% of our worldwide equipment rental revenues during the year ended December 31, 2007. In the United States and Canada, the other top five national-scale industry participants are United Rentals, Inc., or "URI," RSC Equipment Rental, Inc., or "RSC," Sunbelt Rentals, Home Depot Rentals and NES Rentals. A number of individual Caterpillar dealers also participate in the equipment rental market in the United States, Canada, France and Spain. In France, the other principal national-scale industry participants are Loxam and Kiloutou, while in Spain, the other principal national-scale industry participants are GAM and Euroloc.

Competition in the equipment rental industry is intense, and it often takes the form of price competition. HERC's competitors, some of which may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that HERC matches downward competitor pricing, it could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that HERC is not willing to match competitor pricing, it could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations due to lower rental volume. From 2001 to 2003, the equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing trends, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we believe industry pricing, measured in the same way, improved in the United States and Canada and only started to improve towards the end of 2005 in France and Spain. For the year ended December 31, 2007, based on publicly available information, we believe the U.S. equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. HERC experienced higher equipment rental volumes and pricing worldwide for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, with pricing increases in 2007 attributable to higher price activity in Canada and Europe offsetting lower price activity in the U.S. We believe that HERC's competitive success has been primarily the product of its 40 years of experience in the equipment rental industry, its systems and procedures for monitoring, controlling and developing its branch network, its capacity to maintain a comprehensive rental fleet, the quality of its sales force and its established national accounts program.

Other Operations

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hertz Claim Management Corporation, or "HCM," provides claim administration services to us and, to a lesser extent, to third parties. These services include investigating, evaluating, negotiating and disposing of a wide variety of claims, including third-party, first-party, bodily injury, property damage, general liability and product liability, but not the underwriting of risks. HCM conducts business at eight regional offices in the United States. Separate subsidiaries of ours conduct similar operations in eight countries in Europe.

Seasonality

Car rental and equipment rental are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during spring and summer. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our business is highly seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations." The following tables set forth this seasonal effect by providing quarterly revenues and operating income for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2007.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 29,350 persons, consisting of 20,550 persons in our U.S. operations and 8,800 persons in our international operations. Employee benefits in effect include group life insurance, hospitalization and surgical insurance, pension plans and a defined contribution plan. International employees are covered by a wide variety of union contracts and governmental regulations affecting, among other things, compensation, job retention rights and pensions. Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of approximately 7,400 employees in the United States (including those in the U.S. territories) are presently in effect under 144 active contracts with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. Labor contracts covering approximately 1,960 of these employees will expire during 2008. We have had no material work stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last ten years, and we believe our labor relations to be good. Nonetheless, we may be unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to us, or without labor interruptions.

In addition to the employees referred to above, we employ a substantial number of temporary workers, and engage outside services, as is customary in the industry, principally for the non-revenue movement of rental cars and equipment between rental locations and the movement of rental equipment to and from customers' job sites.

21

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations and evaluating outsourcing opportunities.

On January 5, 2007 and February 28, 2007, we announced job reductions affecting a total of approximately 1,550 employees primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. On June 1, 2007, we announced another initiative to further improve our operational efficiency through targeted reductions affecting approximately 480 positions in our U.S. car and equipment rental operations, as well as positions in our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. During 2007, we began to implement cost reducing initiatives in our European operations, and we expect to continue implementation of these measures in 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we finalized or substantially completed contract terms with industry leading service providers to outsource select functions relating to real estate facilities management and construction, procurement and information technology. Substantially all of the selected functions in these areas will be transitioned to the third-party service providers which will result in a decrease in headcount by the end of the third quarter of 2008. We plan to announce, as plans are finalized, other efficiency initiatives during 2008. We currently anticipate incurring future charges to earnings in connection with those initiatives; however, we have not yet developed detailed estimates of these expenses.

Risk Management

Three types of generally insurable risks arise in our operations:

In addition, we offer optional liability insurance and other products providing insurance coverage, which create additional risk exposures for us. Our risk of property damage is also increased when we waive the provisions in our rental contracts that hold a renter responsible for damage or loss under an optional loss or damage waiver that we offer. We bear these and other risks, except to the extent the risks are transferred through insurance or contracts.

In many cases we self-insure our risks or reinsure risks through wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. We mitigate our exposure to large liability losses by maintaining excess insurance coverage, subject to deductibles and caps, through unaffiliated carriers with respect to our domestic operations and our car rental operations in Europe. For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC's operations in Europe, we maintain some liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers. We also maintain property insurance through our captive insurer, Probus Insurance Company Europe Limited, or "Probus" (with the risk reinsured with unaffiliated insurance carriers) domestically and in Europe, subject to deductibles.

Third-Party Liability

In our domestic operations, we are required by applicable financial responsibility laws to maintain insurance against legal liability for bodily injury (including death) or property damage to third parties arising from the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes called "vehicle liability," in stipulated amounts. In most places, we satisfy those requirements by qualifying as a self-insurer, a

22


process that typically involves governmental filings and demonstration of financial responsibility, which sometimes requires the posting of a bond or other security. In the remaining places, we obtain an insurance policy from an unaffiliated insurance carrier and indemnify the carrier for any amounts paid under the policy. As a result of such arrangements, we bear economic responsibility for domestic vehicle liability, except to the extent we successfully transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

For our car rental operations in Europe, we have established two wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, Probus, a direct writer of insurance domiciled in Ireland, and Hertz International RE Limited, or "HIRE," a reinsurer organized in Ireland. In European countries with company-operated locations, we purchased from Probus the vehicle liability insurance required by law, and Probus reinsured the risks under such insurance with HIRE through December 31, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007 reinsurance is provided by another subsidiary of ours. Thus, as with our domestic operations, we bear economic responsibility for vehicle liability in our European car rental operations, except to the extent that we transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC's operations in Europe, we maintain some form of vehicle liability insurance coverage. The nature of such coverage, and our economic responsibility for covered losses, varies considerably. In all cases, though, we believe the amounts and nature of the coverage we obtain is adequate in light of the respective potential hazards.

Both domestically and in our international operations, from time to time in the course of our business we become legally responsible to members of the public for bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising from causes other than the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes known as "general liability." As with vehicle liability, we bear economic responsibility for general liability losses, except to the extent we transfer such losses to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

To mitigate our exposure to large vehicle and general liability losses domestically and in our car rental operations in Europe, we maintain excess insurance coverage with unaffiliated insurance carriers against such losses to the extent they exceed $10 million per occurrence (for occurrences in Europe before December 15, 2003, to the extent such losses exceeded $5 million per occurrence). The coverage provided under such excess insurance policies is limited to $200 million for the current policy year, which began on December 21, 2007 and ends on December 21, 2008 (for occurrences between December 21, 2005 and December 21, 2007, the limit is $100 million; between December 15, 2005 and December 21, 2005, the limit is $235 million; between December 15, 2004 and December 14, 2005, $185 million; and between December 15, 2003 and December 14, 2004, $150 million). For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC's operations in Europe, we also maintain liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective potential hazards, where such insurance is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

Our domestic rental contracts, both for car rental and for equipment rental, typically provide that the renter will indemnify us for liability arising from the operation of the rented vehicle or equipment (for car rentals in certain places, though, only to the extent such liability exceeds the amount stipulated in the applicable financial responsibility law). In addition, many of HERC's domestic rental contracts require the renter to maintain liability insurance under which HERC is entitled to coverage. While such provisions are sometimes effective to transfer liability to renters, their value to us, particularly in cases of large losses, may be limited. The rental contracts used in our international operations sometimes contain provisions relating to insurance or indemnity, but they are typically more limited than those employed in our domestic operations.

In our domestic car rental operations, we offer an optional liability insurance product, Liability Insurance Supplement, or "LIS," that provides vehicle liability insurance coverage substantially higher than state minimum levels to the renter and other authorized operators of a rented vehicle. LIS coverage is

23


provided under excess liability insurance policies issued by an unaffiliated insurance carrier, the risks under which are reinsured with a subsidiary of ours. As a consequence of those reinsurance arrangements, rental customers' purchases of LIS do not reduce our economic exposure to vehicle liability. Instead, our exposure to vehicle liability is potentially increased when LIS is purchased, because insured renters and other operators may have vehicle liability imposed on them in circumstances and in amounts where the applicable rental agreement or applicable law would not, absent the arrangements just described, impose vehicle liability on us.

In both our domestic car rental operations and our company-operated international car rental operations in many countries, we offer optional products providing insurance coverage, or "PAI/PEC" coverage, to the renter and the renter's immediate family members traveling with the renter for accidental death or accidental medical expenses arising during the rental period or for damage or loss of their property during the rental period. PAI/PEC coverage is provided under insurance policies issued by unaffiliated carriers or, in some parts of Europe, by Probus, and the risks under such policies either are reinsured with HIRE or another subsidiary of ours or are the subject of indemnification arrangements between us and the carriers. Rental customers' purchases of PAI/PEC coverage create additional risk exposures for us, since we would not typically be liable for the risks insured by PAI/PEC coverage if that coverage had not been purchased.

Our offering of LIS and PAI/PEC coverage in our domestic car rental operations is conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers. In our international car rental operations, our offering of PAI/PEC coverage historically has not been regulated; however, in some countries of the European Union, the regulatory environment for insurance intermediaries is rapidly evolving, and we cannot assure you either that we will be able to continue offering PAI/PEC coverage without substantial changes in its offering process or in the terms of the coverage or that such changes, if required, would not render uneconomic our continued offering of the coverage. Due to a change in law in Australia, we have discontinued the sales of insurance products there.

Provisions on our books for self-insured vehicle liability losses are made by charges to expense based upon evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims. As of December 31, 2007, this liability was estimated at $343.0 million for our combined domestic and international operations.

Damage to Our Property

We bear the risk of damage to our property, unless such risk is transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

To mitigate our risk of large, single-site property damage losses in the United States and in Europe, we maintain property insurance in the United States with unaffiliated insurance carriers (with a per-occurrence deductible of $10 million) and utilize our insurer, Probus (with the risk reinsured with unaffiliated insurance carriers), with a per-occurrence deductible of $2.5 million in respect of vehicle damage, and $50,000 in respect of all other losses, in Europe. For our international operations outside Europe, we also maintain property insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.

Our rental contracts typically provide that the renter is responsible for damage to or loss (including loss through theft) of rented vehicles or equipment. We generally offer an optional rental product, known in various countries as "loss damage waiver," "collision damage waiver," "theft protection" or "accident excess reduction," under which we waive or limit our right to make a claim for such damage or loss. This product is not regulated as insurance, but it is subject to specific laws in roughly half of the U.S. jurisdictions where we operate.

24

Collision damage costs and the costs of stolen or unaccounted-for vehicles and equipment, along with other damage to our property, are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Risks

To manage other risks associated with our businesses, or to comply with applicable law, we purchase other types of insurance carried by business organizations, such as worker's compensation and employer's liability (for which we, through contracts with insurers domestically, bear the risk of the first $5 million of loss from any occurrence), commercial crime and fidelity, performance bonds and directors' and officers' liability insurance from unaffiliated insurance companies in amounts deemed by us to be adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such coverage is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters

Throughout the world, we are subject to numerous types of governmental controls, including those relating to prices and advertising, privacy and data protection, currency controls, labor matters, charge card operations, insurance, environmental protection, used car sales and licensing.

Environmental

The environmental requirements applicable to our operations generally pertain to (i) the operation and maintenance of cars, trucks and other vehicles, such as heavy equipment, buses and vans; (ii) the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil; and (iii) the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials, including oil, vehicle wash sludge and waste water. We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

The use of cars and other vehicles is subject to various governmental requirements designed to limit environmental damage, including those caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these requirements are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. Measures are taken at certain locations in states that require the installation of Stage II Vapor Recovery equipment to reduce the loss of vapor during the fueling process.

We utilize tanks worldwide, approximately 605 of which are underground and approximately 1,975 of which are aboveground, to store petroleum products, and we believe our tanks are maintained in material compliance with environmental regulations, including federal and state financial responsibility requirements for corrective action and third-party claims due to releases. Our compliance program for our tanks is intended to ensure that (i) the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and (ii) the tanks have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill and corrosion protection requirements.

We are also incurring and providing for expenses for the investigation and cleanup of contamination from the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities" were $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined

25


over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the site. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the nature of the contamination, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

With respect to cleanup expenditures for the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned or leased properties, we have received reimbursement, in whole or in part, from certain U.S. states that maintain underground storage tank petroleum cleanup reimbursement funds. Such funds have been established to assist tank owners in the payment of cleanup costs associated with releases from registered tanks. With respect to off-site U.S. locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified, we have been and continue to be required to contribute to cleanup costs due to strict joint and several cleanup liability imposed by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and comparable state superfund statutes.

Environmental legislation and regulations and related administrative policies have changed rapidly in recent years, both in the United States and in other countries. There is a risk that governmental environmental requirements, or enforcement thereof, may become more stringent in the future and that we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by government agencies or private parties with respect to environmental matters. In addition, with respect to cleanup of contamination, additional locations at which wastes generated by us or substances used by us may have been released or disposed, and of which we are currently unaware, may in the future become the subject of cleanup for which we may be liable, in whole or part. Further, at airport-leased properties, we may be subject to environmental requirements imposed by airports that are more restrictive than those obligations imposed by environmental regulatory agencies. Accordingly, while we believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable requirements of environmental laws, we cannot offer assurance that our future environmental liabilities will not be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dealings with Renters

In the United States, car and equipment rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs "leases" of tangible personal property. Car rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the United States. The subjects of state regulation include the methods by which we advertise, quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers) and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states (including California, New York, Nevada and Illinois) regulate the price at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer. See "—Risk Management" above for further discussion regarding the loss or damage waivers and optional insurance coverages that we offer renters. Internationally, regulatory regimes vary greatly by jurisdiction, but they do not generally prevent us from dealing with customers in a manner similar to that employed in the United States.

26

Both in the United States and internationally, we are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are limited in the uses to which we may put data that we collect about renters, including the circumstances in which we may communicate with them. In addition, we are generally obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability or seriously damage our reputation.

Changes in Regulation

Changes in government regulation of our business have the potential to alter our business practices, or our profitability, materially. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect; this is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances. Several U.S. State Attorneys General have taken the position that car rental companies either may not pass through to customers, by means of separate charges, expenses such as vehicle licensing and concession fees or may do so only in certain limited circumstances. Recent or potential changes in law or regulation that affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy and data security and rate regulation, each as described under "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations."

In addition, our operations, as well as those of our competitors, also could be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the United States or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly imposed if there were a serious disruption in supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or other problem affecting petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.

Relationship with Ford

Prior to the Acquisition, Ford, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ford Holdings, was Hertz's only stockholder. As a result of the Acquisition, Hertz Holdings indirectly owns all of Hertz's outstanding common stock. As a result of our initial public offering in 2006 and the June 2007 registered secondary offering, investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors currently own approximately 55% of Hertz Holdings' outstanding common stock.

Set forth below are descriptions of certain agreements, relationships and transactions between Hertz and Ford that survived the completion of the Acquisition.

Supply and Advertising Arrangements

On July 5, 2005, Hertz, one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Ford signed a Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, effective July 5, 2005 and expiring August 31, 2010, that covers the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years.

The terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement only apply to our fleet requirements and advertising in the United States and to Ford, Lincoln or Mercury brand vehicles, or "Ford Vehicles." Under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, Ford has agreed to supply to us and we have agreed to purchase from Ford, during each of the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years, a specific number of Ford Vehicles. Ford has also agreed in the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement to pay

27


us a contribution toward the cost of our advertising of Ford Vehicles equal to one-half of our total expenditure on such advertising, up to a specified maximum amount. To be eligible for advertising cost contribution under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, the advertising must meet certain conditions, including the condition that we feature Ford Vehicles in a manner and with a prominence that is reasonably satisfactory to Ford. It further provides that the amounts Ford will be obligated to pay to us for our advertising costs will be increased or reduced according to the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in any model year, provided Ford will not be required to pay any amount for our advertising costs for any year if the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in the corresponding model year is less than a specified minimum except to the extent that our failure to acquire the specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles is attributable to the availability of Ford Vehicles or Ford vehicle production is disrupted for reasons beyond the control of Ford. To the extent we acquire less than a specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles in any model year, we have agreed to pay Ford a specified amount per vehicle below the minimum.

The advertising contributions paid by Ford for the 2007 vehicle model year were lower than the advertising contributions we received from Ford for the 2006 model year due to a decrease in the number of Ford Vehicles acquired, partly offset by a slight increase in the per car contribution. We expect that contributions in future years will be below levels for the 2007 model year based upon anticipated reductions in the number of Ford Vehicles to be acquired. We do not expect that the reductions in Ford's advertising contributions will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Under the terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, we are able to enter into vehicle advertising and supply agreements with other automobile manufacturers in the United States and in other countries, and we intend to explore those opportunities. However, we cannot offer assurance that we will be able to obtain advertising contributions from other automobile manufacturers that will mitigate reductions in Ford's advertising contributions.

Ford subsidiaries and affiliates also supply other brands of cars, including Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda and Land Rover cars, to us in the United States under arrangements separate from the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement. In addition, Ford and its subsidiaries and affiliates are significant suppliers of cars to our international operations.

Other Relationships and Transactions

We and Ford also engage in other transactions in the ordinary course of our respective businesses. These transactions include HERC's providing equipment rental services to Ford, our providing insurance and insurance claim management services to Ford and our providing car rental services to Ford. In addition, Ford subsidiaries are our car rental licensees in Scandinavia and Finland.

We may be exposed to liabilities for regulatory or tax contingencies of Ford arising from the period during which we were a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that any payments in respect of these indemnification arrangements will be made available.

Available Information

We file annual, quarterly and current reports and other information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the "SEC." You may read and copy any documents that we file at the SEC's public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information about the public reference room. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports and other information about issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including Hertz Holdings. You may also access, free of charge, our reports filed with the SEC (for example, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those forms) indirectly through our Internet website (www.hertz.com). Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC will be available as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information found on our website is not part of this or any other report filed with or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. The risks described below, however, are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Business

An economic downturn could result in a decline in business and leisure travel and non-residential capital investment, which could harm our business.

Our results of operations are affected by many economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate. A decline in economic activity either in the United States or in international markets may have a material adverse effect on our business. In the car rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in both business and leisure travel and, accordingly, a decline in the volume of car rental transactions. In the equipment rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in activity in non-residential construction and other businesses in which our equipment rental customers operate and, therefore, results in a decline in the volume of equipment rental transactions. In the case of a decline in car or equipment rental activity, we may reduce rental rates to meet competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A decline in economic activity also may have a material adverse effect on residual values realized on the disposition of our revenue earning cars and/or equipment.

We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing, or an inability to increase prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. See "Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Competition" and "Item 1—Business—Equipment Rental—Competition." We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the car and equipment rental markets. Our competitors, some of whom may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that we match competitors' downward pricing, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive distance from our competitors' pricing, it could also have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, as we may lose rental volume. The Internet has increased pricing transparency among car rental companies by enabling cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily obtain the lowest rates available from car rental companies for any given trip. This transparency may increase the prevalence and intensity of price competition in the future.

Our car rental business is dependent on the air travel industry, and disruptions in air travel patterns could harm our business.

We estimate that approximately 69% of our worldwide car rental revenues during the year ended December 31, 2007 were generated at our airport rental locations. Significant capacity reductions or airfare increases (e.g., due to an increase in fuel costs) could result in reduced air travel and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, any event that disrupts or reduces business or leisure air travel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In particular, deterioration in the economic condition of U.S. and international airlines could exacerbate reductions in air travel. Other events that impact air travel could include work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, epidemic diseases, or the response of governments to any of these events. For example, shortly before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, we estimated that we would earn a pre-tax profit of approximately $250 million in 2001; by contrast, our actual pre-tax profit for 2001 was only approximately $3 million, and we continued to feel the adverse effects of the attacks

29


well into the following year. On a smaller scale, the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or "SARS," in the Toronto, Canada area and parts of Asia, significantly reduced our 2003 results of operations in Canada.

Our business is highly seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Certain significant components of our expenses, including minimum concession fees, real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, are fixed in the short-run. Seasonal changes in our revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. The second and third quarters of the year have historically been our strongest quarters due to their increased levels of leisure travel and construction activity. In 2007, the second and third quarters accounted for approximately 25% and 28% of total revenues and 36% and 66% of income before income taxes and minority interest, respectively. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the second or third quarters could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our liquidity and/or results of operations. See "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We may not be successful in our business strategy to expand into the off-airport rental market, including marketing to replacement renters and insurance companies that reimburse or pay for such rentals.

We have been increasing our presence in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. We intend to pursue profitable growth opportunities in the off-airport market. We expect to do this through a combination of selected new location openings, a disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. In order to increase revenues at our existing and any new off-airport locations, we will need to successfully market to insurance companies and other companies that provide rental referrals to those needing cars while their vehicles are being repaired or are temporarily unavailable for other reasons, as well as to the renters themselves. This could involve a significant number of additional off-airport locations or strategic changes with respect to our existing locations. We incur minimal non-fleet costs in opening our new off-airport locations, but new off-airport locations, once opened, take time to generate their full potential revenues. As a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operation. See "Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Operations." The full results of this strategy and the success of our execution of this strategy will not be known for a number of years. If we are unable to grow profitably in our off-airport network, properly react to changes in market conditions or successfully market to replacement renters and the insurance companies covering the cost of their rentals, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We face risks of increased costs of cars and of decreased profitability, including as a result of limited supplies of competitively priced cars.

We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new cars in the world for our rental fleet, and during the year ended December 31, 2007, our approximate average holding period for a rental car was 11 months in the United States and nine months in our international car rental operations. In recent years, the average cost of new cars has increased. In the United States, 2007 model year program vehicle depreciation costs rose approximately 15% and per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year U.S. non-program cars declined. As a consequence of those changes in per-car costs, as well as the larger proportion of our U.S. fleet we have purchased as non-program cars and other actions we have taken to mitigate program car cost increases, our net per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year

30


cars in the United States have increased by less than 3% from our net per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year U.S. cars. We expect 2008 model year vehicle depreciation costs in the United States to increase between 2% to 4%. We may not be able to offset these car cost increases to a degree sufficient to maintain our profitability.

Historically, we have purchased more of the cars we rent from Ford than from any other automobile manufacturer. Over the five years ended December 31, 2007, approximately 40% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 31% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 24% of the cars acquired by us domestically were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries and approximately 25% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. Under our Master Supply and Advertising Agreement with Ford, Ford has agreed to develop fleet offerings in the United States that are generally competitive with terms and conditions of similar offerings by other automobile manufacturers. The Master Supply and Advertising Agreement expires in 2010. See "Item 1—Business—Relationship with Ford—Supply and Advertising Arrangements." We cannot assure you that we will be able to extend the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement beyond its current term or enter into similar agreements at reasonable terms. In the future, we expect to buy a smaller proportion of our car rental fleet from Ford than we have in the past. If Ford does not offer us competitive terms and conditions, and we are not able to purchase sufficient quantities of cars from other automobile manufacturers on competitive terms and conditions, then we may be forced to purchase cars at higher prices, or on terms less competitive, than for cars purchased by our competitors. Historically, we have also purchased a significant percentage of our car rental fleet from General Motors. Over the five years ended December 31, 2007, approximately 22% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 27% of the cars acquired by our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors.

To date we have not entered into any long-term car supply arrangements with manufacturers other than Ford. In addition, certain car manufacturers, including Ford, have adopted strategies to de-emphasize sales to the car rental industry which they view as less profitable due to historical sales incentive and other discount programs that tended to lower the average cost of cars for fleet purchasers such as us. Reduced or limited supplies of equipment together with increased prices are risks that we also face in our equipment rental business. We cannot offer assurance that we will be able to pass on increased costs of cars or equipment to our rental customers. Failure to pass on significant cost increases to our customers would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks related to decreased acquisition or disposition of cars through repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 50% of the cars purchased in our combined U.S. and international car rental fleet were subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, car manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit the risk to us that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value at such time. We refer to this risk as "residual risk."

Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs enable us to determine our depreciation expense in advance. This predictability is useful to us, since depreciation is a significant cost factor in our operations. Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are also useful in managing our seasonal peak demand for fleet, because some of them permit us to acquire cars and dispose of them

31


after relatively short periods of time. A trade-off we face when we purchase program cars is that we typically pay the manufacturer of a program car more than we would pay to buy the same car as a non-program car. Program cars thus involve a larger initial investment than their risk counterparts. If a program car is damaged or otherwise becomes ineligible for return or sale under the relevant program, our loss upon the disposition of the car will be larger than if the car had been a non-program car, because our initial investment in the car was larger.

The percentage of our car rental fleet subject to repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs has substantially decreased due primarily to changes in the overall terms offered by automobile manufacturers under repurchase programs. Accordingly, we are now bearing increased risk relating to the residual market value and the related depreciation on our car rental fleet and must use different rotational techniques to accommodate our seasonal peak demand for cars.

Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. This flexibility has been reduced as the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet has decreased materially. See "Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Fleet" and "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview."

In the future, car manufacturers could modify or eliminate their repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs or change their return policies (which include condition, mileage and holding period requirements for returned cars) from one program year to another to make it disadvantageous to acquire certain cars. Any such modification or elimination would increase our exposure to the risks described in the preceding paragraphs. In addition, because we obtain a substantial portion of our financing in reliance on repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, the modification or elimination of those programs, or the associated return policies, by manufacturers or significant adverse changes in the financial condition of manufacturers could make some vehicle-related debt financing more difficult to obtain on reasonable terms. See "—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control."

We could be harmed by a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars, particularly if they are unable, or reject their obligations, to repurchase program cars from us or to guarantee the depreciation of program cars.

In the past several years, Ford and General Motors, which are the principal suppliers of cars to us on both a program and non-program basis, have experienced deterioration in their operating results and significant declines in their credit ratings. A severe or persistent decline in the results of operations or financial condition of a manufacturer of cars that we own could reduce the cars' residual values, particularly to the extent that the manufacturer unexpectedly announced the eventual elimination of its models or nameplates or ceased manufacturing them altogether. Such a reduction could cause us to sustain a loss on the ultimate sale of non-program cars, on which we bear the risk of such declines in residual value, or require us to depreciate those cars on a more rapid basis while we own them.

In addition, if a decline in results or conditions were so severe as to cause a manufacturer to default on an obligation to repurchase or guarantee the depreciation of program cars we own, or to cause a manufacturer to commence bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, and reject its repurchase or guaranteed depreciation obligations, we would have to dispose of those program cars without the benefits of the associated programs. This could significantly increase our expenses. In addition, disposing of program cars following a manufacturer default or rejection of the program in bankruptcy could result in losses similar to those associated with the disposition of cars that have become ineligible for return or sale under the applicable program. Such losses could be material if a large number of program cars were affected. For example, we estimate that if Ford Motor Company, but not its subsidiaries, were to file for bankruptcy reorganization and reject all its commitments to repurchase

32


program cars from us, we would sustain material losses, which could be as high as over $200 million, upon disposition of those cars. A reduction in the number of program cars that we buy would reduce the magnitude of this exposure, but it would simultaneously increase our exposure to residual value risk. See "—We face risks related to decreased acquisition or disposition of cars through repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs."

Any default or reorganization of a manufacturer that has sold us program cars might also leave us with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program cars that were sold and returned to the car manufacturer but not paid for, or that were sold for less than their agreed repurchase price or guaranteed value. For the year ended December 31, 2007, outstanding month-end receivables for cars sold to manufacturers were as much as $954 million, with the highest amount for a single manufacturer being $195 million owed by General Motors. A decline in the economic and business prospects of car manufacturers, including any economic distress impacting the suppliers of car components to manufacturers, could also cause manufacturers to raise the prices we pay for cars or reduce their supply to us. In addition, events negatively affecting the car manufacturers could affect how much we may borrow under our asset- backed financing. See "—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control."

We may not be successful in implementing our strategy of reducing operating costs and our cost reduction initiatives may have other adverse consequences.

We are implementing initiatives to reduce our operating expenses. These initiatives include headcount reductions, business process outsourcing, business process re-engineering and internal reorganization, as well as other expense controls. We cannot assure you that we will be able to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully, or at all. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred $96.4 million of costs relating to our cost reduction initiatives, and we anticipate incurring further expenses throughout the upcoming year, some of which may be material in the period in which they are incurred.

Even if we are successful in our cost reduction initiatives, we may face other risks associated with our plans, including declines in employee morale or the level of customer service we provide, the efficiency of our operations or the effectiveness of our internal controls. Any of these risks could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, investors or securities analysts who cover the common stock of Hertz Holdings may not agree with us that these changes are beneficial, and our stock price may decline as a result.

Our business process outsourcing initiatives may increase our reliance on third-party contractors and expose our business to harm upon the termination or disruption of our third-party contractor relationships.

Our strategy to increase profitability by reducing our costs of operations includes the implementation of business process outsourcing initiatives. As a result, our future operations may increasingly rely on third-party outsourcing contractors to provide services that we currently perform internally. Any disruption, termination, or substandard provision of these outsourced services could adversely affect our brand, customer relationships, operating results and financial condition. Also, if a third-party outsourcing contractor relationship is terminated, there is a risk that we may not be able to enter into a similar agreement with an alternate provider in a timely manner or on terms that we consider favorable. In addition, in the event a third-party outsourcing relationship is terminated and we are unavailable to replace it, there is also a risk that we may no longer have the capabilities to perform these services internally.

33

Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

We rely significantly on asset-backed financing to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleets. In connection with the Acquisition, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by us issued approximately $4,300 million of new debt (plus an additional $1,500 million in the form of variable funding notes issued but not funded at the closing of the Acquisition) backed by our U.S. car rental fleet under the ABS program. In addition, we issued $600 million of medium term notes backed by our U.S. car rental fleet, or the "pre-Acquisition ABS Notes," prior to the Acquisition, which remained outstanding following the Acquisition. As part of the Acquisition, various of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain special purpose entities issued approximately $1,781 million of debt under the International Fleet Debt, which are secured by rental vehicles and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or by rental equipment and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries organized outside North America, as well as (subject to certain limited exceptions) substantially all our other assets outside North America. The asset- backed debt issued in connection with the Transactions has expected final payment dates ranging from 2008 to 2010 and the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have expected final payment dates ranging from 2008 to 2009. Approximately half of our U.S. Fleet Debt is subject to the benefit of a financial guaranty from MBIA Inc., or "MBIA," while the remainder is subject to the benefit of a financial guaranty from Ambac Financial Group Inc., or "Ambac." Based upon these repayment dates, this debt will need to be refinanced within the next three years. Recent turmoil in the credit markets has reduced the availability of debt financing and asset-backed securities have become the focus of increased investor and regulatory scrutiny. Consequently, if our access to asset-backed financing were reduced or were to become significantly more expensive for any reason, including as a result a deterioration in the markets for asset-backed securities or as a result of deterioration in the credit ratings or the insolvency of the financial guarantors, we cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed financing or continue to finance new car acquisitions through asset-backed financing on favorable terms, or at all.

Our asset-backed financing capacity could be decreased, or financing costs and interest rates could be increased, as a result of risks and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation:

The occurrence of any of the events listed above could result, among other things, in the occurrence of an amortization event pursuant to which the proceeds of sales of cars that collateralize the affected series of asset-backed notes would be required to be applied to the payment of principal and interest on

34


the affected series, rather than being reinvested in our car rental fleet. Certain other events, including defaults by Hertz and its affiliates in the performance of covenants set forth in the agreements governing the U.S. Fleet Debt, could result in the occurrence of a liquidation event pursuant to which the trustee or holders of asset-backed notes of the affected series would be permitted to require the sale of the assets collateralizing that series. Either of these consequences could affect our liquidity and our ability to maintain sufficient fleet levels to meet customer demands.

Any disruption in our ability to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed financing or to continue to finance new car acquisitions through asset-backed financing, or any negative development in the terms of the asset-backed financing available to us, could cause our cost of financing to increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The assets that collateralize our asset-backed financing will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The terms of our Senior Credit Facilities permit us to finance or refinance new car acquisitions through other means, including secured financing that is not limited to the assets of special purpose entity subsidiaries. We may seek in the future to finance or refinance new car acquisitions, including cars excluded from the ABS Program, through such other means. No assurances can be given, however, as to whether such financing will be available, or as to whether the terms of such financing will be comparable to the debt issued under the ABS Program.

Most of our asset-backed debt outside the United States was issued under an interim facility which provided for increased margins if the debt was not refinanced by March 21, 2007. We are in the process of negotiating new financing facilities to enable us to refinance this debt. However, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful or, if they are successful, that the new facilities will enable us to finance our operations at rates which are as favorable to us as those of the existing facility. On March 21, 2007, the existing facility was amended and restated to, among other things, modify the provisions which provide for increased margins. The effect of these changes was to reduce or eliminate the adverse consequences of these provisions to us for an interim period that ended on December 21, 2007 in order to give us additional time to refinance the interim facility. As a result of the changes, there was no increase in margins on March 21, 2007. On December 21, 2007, the existing facility was amended for the purpose of (i) amending certain terms affecting the margins on the revolving bridge loan facilities established by the SBFA, or the "Facilities," and (ii) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the terms of the facilities. Additionally, the intercreditor deed pertaining to the International Fleet Debt facilities was amended to, among other things, remove the Brazilian facility. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance the interim facility on acceptable terms, if at all.

The third-party insurance companies that provide credit enhancements in the form of financial guaranties of U.S. Fleet Debt could face financial instability due to factors beyond our control, which in turn could have material adverse effects on our business.

MBIA and Ambac provide credit enhancements in the form of financial guaranties for our U.S. Fleet Debt, with each providing guaranties for approximately half of the $4.3 billion in principal amount of the notes issued under our ABS program in December 2005. MBIA and Ambac could face financial instability due to factors beyond our control. Each of MBIA and Ambac is on review for a credit downgrade or has been downgraded by one or more credit ratings agencies. If MBIA or Ambac were to experience further downgrades, we may be required to utilize alternate sources of funding as our outstanding ABS notes mature, which may not be available on terms as favorable or in amounts comparable to those available to us under our existing ABS program.

An event of bankruptcy (as defined in the indentures governing the U.S. Fleet Debt) with respect to MBIA or Ambac would constitute an amortization event under the portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt facilities guaranteed by the affected insurer. In that event we would also be required to apply a proportional amount, or substantially all in the case of insolvency of both insurers, of all rental payments by Hertz to its special purpose leasing subsidiary and all car disposal proceeds under the applicable facility, or under

35


substantially all U.S. Fleet Debt facilities in the case of insolvency of both insurers, to pay down the amounts owed under the facility or facilities instead of applying those proceeds to purchase additional cars and/or for working capital purposes. An insurer event of bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity if we were unable to negotiate mutually acceptable new terms with our U.S. Fleet Debt lenders or if alternate funding were not available to us.

After 30 days, an insurer event of bankruptcy would constitute a limited liquidation event of default under the applicable indenture supplement governing the U.S. Fleet Debt insured by the bankrupt insurer. At that point, noteholders for the affected series of notes would have the right to instruct the trustee to exercise all remedies available to secured creditors, including the termination of the master lease under which Hertz leases its U.S. vehicle fleet and foreclosure of the vehicle fleet, provided that the exercise of any such right is supported by a majority of the affected noteholders. If the master lease were terminated due to the insolvency of either MBIA or Ambac, the termination would trigger an amortization event with respect to the notes insured by the other insurer. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The occurrence of an amortization event as a result of insurer insolvency would also result in our inability to make use of the Like-Kind Exchange Program, which is described under "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations—Like-Kind Exchange Program," with respect to future dispositions and acquisitions of fleet vehicles subject to the ABS program. This could expose us to increased income tax liability in the future as a result of recognition of gains upon sales from our then-existing ABS Program fleet, although we would expect to be able to utilize the Like-Kind Exchange Program for certain cars within our then-existing fleet as well as future cars purchased outside of the ABS Program.

Significant increases in fuel costs or reduced supplies of fuel could harm our business.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, from 2006 to 2007, the average retail cost of a gallon of gasoline in the United States increased 8.9%, and a further 9.4% increase is projected over the course of 2008. Further significant increases in fuel prices, reduction in fuel supplies or imposition of mandatory allocations or rationing of fuel, which are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, could negatively impact our car rental business by directly discouraging consumers from renting cars or disrupting air travel, on which a significant portion of our car rental business relies. In addition, significant increases in fuel prices or reduction in fuel supplies could negatively impact our equipment rental business by increasing the cost of buying new equipment, since fuel is used in the manufacturing process and in delivering equipment to us, and by reducing the mobility of our fleet, due to higher costs to us of transporting equipment between facilities or regions. Significant increases in fuel prices or a severe or protracted disruption in fuel supplies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See "—Our car rental business is dependent on the air travel industry, and disruptions in air travel patterns could harm our business."

Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.

Our cars may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. Under certain circumstances, the recalls may cause us to attempt to retrieve cars from renters or to decline to re-rent returned cars until we can arrange for the steps described in the recalls to be taken. If a large number of cars are the subject of simultaneous recalls, or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to re-rent recalled cars for a significant period of time. We could also face liability claims if recalls affect cars that we have already sold. Depending on the severity of the recall, it could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the cars involved and harm our general reputation.

36

We face risks arising from our heavy reliance on communications networks and centralized information systems.

We rely heavily on information systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleets of cars and equipment, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have centralized our information systems in two redundant facilities in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and we rely on communications service providers to link our systems with the business locations these systems serve. A simultaneous loss of both facilities, or a major disruption of communications between the systems and the locations they serve, could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. If we outsource key business processes in the future, the outsourcing service providers may concentrate their activities on our behalf at a small number of locations, entailing similar or potentially even greater, risks. Our systems back-up plans, business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, but they do not eliminate it. In addition, because our systems contain information about millions of individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenues, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.

The concentration of our reservations, accounting and information technology functions at a limited number of facilities in Oklahoma, Alabama and Ireland creates risks for us.

We have concentrated our reservations functions for the United States in two facilities, one in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and one in Saraland (Mobile County), Alabama, and we have concentrated our accounting functions for the United States in two facilities in Oklahoma City. Similarly, we have concentrated reservations and accounting functions for our European operations in a single facility near Dublin, Ireland. In addition, our major information systems are centralized in two of our facilities in Oklahoma City. A disruption of normal business at any of our principal facilities in Oklahoma City, Saraland or Dublin, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and systems activities. If we outsource key business processes in the future, the outsourcing service providers may concentrate their activities on our behalf at a small number of locations, entailing similar or potentially greater risks. Our systems designs, business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate those risks, but do not eliminate them, and this is particularly true with respect to events of broad geographic impact.

Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

A number of entities, including some of our competitors, have sought, or may in the future obtain, patents and other intellectual property rights that cover or affect software products and other components of information systems that we rely on to operate our business. For example, Enterprise has previously asserted that certain systems we use to conduct insurance replacement rentals would infringe on patent rights that it has been recently granted.

Litigation may be necessary to determine the validity and scope of third-party rights or to defend against claims of infringement. If a court determines that one or more of the software products or other components of information systems we use infringe on intellectual property owned by others or we agree to settle such a dispute, we may be liable for money damages. In addition, we may be required to cease using those products and components unless we obtain licenses from the owners of the intellectual property, redesign those products and components in such a way as to avoid infringement or

37


cease altogether the use of those products and components. Each of these alternatives could increase our expenses materially or impact the marketability of our services. Any litigation, regardless of the outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, a third-party intellectual property owner might not allow us to use its intellectual property at any price, or on terms acceptable to us, which could materially affect our competitive position and our results of operations. For example, if Enterprise were to pursue and prevail on claims of infringement similar to those it has previously asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on our insurance replacement business and, in turn, our off-airport business. We have already commenced litigation against Enterprise with respect to its patents and claims it has made. See "Item 3—Legal Proceedings."

The misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our reputation or competitive position, adversely affect the price at which shares of our common stock trade or give rise to material liabilities.

We possess non-public information with respect to millions of individuals, including our customers and our current and former employees, and thousands of businesses, as well as non-public information with respect to our own affairs. The misuse or theft of that information by either our employees or third parties could result in material damage to our brand, reputation or competitive position or materially affect the price at which shares of our common stock trade. In addition, depending on the type of information involved, the nature of our relationship with the person or entity to which the information relates, the cause and the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable, that misuse or theft of information could result in governmental investigations or material civil or criminal liability. The laws that would be applicable to such a failure are rapidly evolving and becoming more burdensome. See "—Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations."

If we acquire any businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We intend to pursue the growth of our business and from time to time consider opportunistic acquisitions which may be significant. Any future acquisition would involve numerous risks including, without limitation:

If we make acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, the financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.

We face risks related to changes in our ownership.

A substantial number of our airport concession agreements, as well as certain of our other agreements with third parties, require the consent of the airports' operators or other parties in connection with any change in ownership of us. Changes in ownership of us could also require the approval of other governmental authorities (including insurance regulators, regulators of our retail used car sales activities

38


and antitrust regulators), and we cannot offer assurance that those approvals would be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If our owners were to proceed to change their ownership of us without obtaining necessary approvals, or if significant conditions on our operations were imposed in connection with obtaining such approvals, our ability to conduct our business could be impaired, resulting in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.

Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the cars and equipment rented or sold by us and for workers' compensation claims and other employment-related claims by our employees. Currently, we generally self-insure up to $10 million per occurrence in the United States and Europe for vehicle and general liability exposures and maintain insurance with unaffiliated carriers in excess of such levels up to $200 million per occurrence for the current policy year, or in the case of equipment rental in Europe and international operations outside of Europe, in such lower amounts as we deem adequate given the risks. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting from multiple payouts or otherwise, that liabilities in respect of existing or future claims will not exceed the level of our insurance, that we will have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims or that insurance with unaffiliated carriers will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. See "Item 1—Business—Risk Management" and "Item 3—Legal Proceedings."

We could face significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate.

We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans administered by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. In the ordinary course of our renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we may decide to discontinue participation in a plan, and in that event, we could face a withdrawal liability. Some multiemployer plans, including one in which we participate, are reported to have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability.

We have received an informal request from the SEC to provide information about car rental services that we provide to our independent registered public accounting firm in the ordinary course of business.

In July 2005, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed us that it was conducting an informal inquiry and asked Hertz to voluntarily provide documents and information related to car rental services that we provide to our independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or "PwC." The SEC noted in its letter that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of law have occurred, or as a reflection upon any person, entity or security. We cooperated with the SEC by providing it with certain requested information in July and September 2005. Since then, we have received no further requests from the SEC with respect to this informal inquiry, but neither have we been advised that it has been closed.

After learning of this informal inquiry, our audit committee and representatives of PwC discussed PwC's independence with respect to us. PwC reconfirmed that it has been and remains independent with respect to us. In making this determination, PwC considered, among other things, its belief that PwC's arrangements with us represent arm's-length transactions that were negotiated in the normal course of

39


business, and, therefore, that the commercial relationship does not impair PwC's independence with respect to us. If the SEC were to take a different view and it were ultimately determined that PwC was not independent with respect to us for certain periods, our filings with the SEC which contain our consolidated financial statements for such periods would be non-compliant with applicable securities laws. A determination that PwC was not independent with respect to us could, among other things, cause us to be in violation of, or in default under, the instruments governing our indebtedness and airport concession agreements, limit our access to capital markets and result in regulatory sanctions. Also, in the event of such a determination, we may be required to have independent audits conducted on our previously audited financial statements by another independent registered public accounting firm for the affected periods. The time involved to conduct such independent audits may make it more difficult to obtain capital on favorable terms, or at all, pending the completion of such audits. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, the trading prices of our securities and the continued eligibility for listing of our common stock on The New York Stock Exchange, or "NYSE."

Environmental laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation imposed under them, could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are regulated by federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including, among other things, with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste oils. We have established a compliance program for our tanks that is intended to ensure that the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill and corrosion protection requirements. However, we cannot assure you that these tank systems will at all times remain free from undetected leaks or that the use of these tanks will not result in significant spills.

We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including, among others, expenditures for the cleanup of contamination at or emanating from, currently and formerly owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. We cannot assure you that compliance with existing or future environmental legislation and regulations will not require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See "Item 1—Business—Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters" and "Item 3—Legal Proceedings."

Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and the other countries and jurisdictions in which we operate, and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect, which is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their

40


face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances.

The optional liability insurance policies and products providing insurance coverage in our domestic car rental operations are conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance providers. In our international car rental operations, our offering of optional products providing insurance coverage historically has not been regulated. Any changes in the law in the United States or internationally that change our operating requirements with respect to insurance could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenues. For instance, in some countries of the European Union, the regulatory environment for insurance intermediaries is evolving, and we cannot assure you either that we will be able to continue offering such coverage without substantial changes in our offering process or in the terms of the coverage or that such changes, if required, would not render uneconomic our continued offering of the coverage. Due to a change in law in Australia, we have discontinued sales of insurance products there. See "Item 1—Business—Risk Management" for further discussion regarding how changes in the regulation of insurance intermediaries may affect us internationally.

Laws in many countries and jurisdictions limit the types of information we may collect about individuals with whom we deal or propose to deal, as well as how we collect, retain and use the information that we are permitted to collect. In addition, the centralized nature of our information systems requires the routine flow of information about customers and potential customers across national borders, particularly into the United States. In the future, if we elect to outsource work that involves the processing of such information, that information may flow into other countries, some of which do not possess developed legal regimes relating to privacy and data security. If this flow of information were to become illegal, or subject to onerous restrictions, our ability to serve our customers could be seriously impaired for an extended period of time. Other changes in the regulation of customer privacy and data security could likewise have a material adverse effect on our business. Privacy and data security are rapidly evolving areas of regulation, and additional regulation in those areas, some of it potentially difficult for us to accommodate, is frequently proposed and occasionally adopted. Thus, changes in the worldwide legal and regulatory environment in the areas of customer privacy, data security and cross-border data flows could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the impairment of our marketing and transaction processing activities.

Further, the substantive regulation of the rates we charge car renters, either through direct price regulation or a requirement that we disregard a customer's source market (location or place of residence) for rate purposes, could reduce our revenues or increase our expenses. We set rates based on a variety of factors including the sources of rental reservations geographically and the means through which the reservations were made, all of which are in response to various market factors and costs. The European Commission had issued, but has since withdrawn, a directive that could have restricted our ability to take into account the country of residence of European Union residents for rate purposes, and bills have periodically been introduced into the New York State legislature that would seek to prohibit us from charging higher rates to renters residing in certain boroughs of New York City. The adoption of any such measures could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations.

In most places where we operate, we pass through various expenses, including the recovery of vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, to our rental customers as separate charges. In the last five years, such pass-throughs have been questioned by several State Attorneys General and class actions have been filed in four states challenging the propriety of certain pass-throughs. We believe that our expense pass-throughs, where imposed, are properly disclosed and are lawful, and expense pass-throughs have, when challenged, been upheld in court. Nonetheless, we cannot offer assurances that other State Attorneys General will not take enforcement action against us with respect to our car rental expense pass-throughs, or that our pass-throughs will not be the subject of other class action litigation. If such action were taken and an Attorney General or class action plaintiff were to prevail, it

41


could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations. In the United States, our revenues from car rental expense pass-throughs for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, were approximately $353.9 million and $311.5 million, respectively.

The Sponsors currently control us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future.

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VII, L.P. and related funds, Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and related funds and ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P. and related funds (together with certain of their affiliates) currently beneficially own approximately 18.7%, 18.4% and 18.2%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings. These funds and Hertz Holdings are parties to a Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which the funds have agreed to vote in favor of nominees to our board of directors nominated by the other funds. As a result, the Sponsors control us, and will continue to have significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval and our policy and affairs so long as they continue to hold a significant amount of our common stock. The Sponsors therefore have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders, regardless of whether or not our other stockholders believe that such a transaction is in their own best interests. See "Item 13—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence."

Additionally, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. One or more of the Sponsors may also pursue acquisition opportunities and other corporate opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those opportunities may not be available to us. Any competition could intensify if an affiliate or subsidiary of one or more of the Sponsors were to enter into or acquire a business similar to our car rental or equipment rental operations. Given that we are not wholly-owned by any one of the three Sponsors, the Sponsors may be inclined to direct relevant corporate opportunities to entities which they control individually rather than to us. So long as investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors continue to indirectly own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our common stock, even if that amount is less than 50%, the Sponsors will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. While we have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct that applies to all our directors, it does not preclude the Sponsors from becoming engaged in businesses that compete with us or preclude our directors from taking advantage of business opportunities other than those made available to them through the use of their position as directors or the use of our property. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Sponsors are under no obligation to communicate or offer any corporate opportunity to us, even if such opportunity might reasonably have been expected to be of interest to us or our subsidiaries. See Note 14 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplemental Data."

Risks Relating to Our Substantial Indebtedness

We have substantial debt and may incur substantial additional debt, which could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to obtain financing in the future and our ability to react to changes in our business.

As of December 31, 2007, we had an aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding of $12,013.6 million and a debt to equity ratio, calculated using the total amount of our outstanding debt net of unamortized discounts of 4.1 to 1.

Our substantial debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

42

Any of the foregoing impacts of our substantial indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Despite our current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the instruments governing our indebtedness do not prohibit us or fully prohibit our subsidiaries from doing so. As of December 31, 2007, our Senior Credit Facilities provided us commitments for additional aggregate borrowings (subject to borrowing base limitations) of approximately $1,577.9 million, and permitted additional borrowings beyond those commitments under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2007, our U.S. Fleet Debt facilities, our Fleet Financing Facility, International Fleet Debt facilities and our other fleet debt facilities (related to Brazil, Canada, Belgium and the United Kingdom) provided us commitments for additional aggregate borrowings of approximately $1,500.0 million, $103.0 million and the foreign currency equivalent of $885.6 million and $295.5 million, respectively, subject to borrowing base limitations. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. In addition, the instruments governing our indebtedness do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a $1.0 billion loan facility in order to finance the payment of a special cash dividend of $4.32 per share to its stockholders on June 30, 2006. Although this facility was repaid in full with the proceeds from our initial public offering, we cannot assure you that Hertz Holdings will not enter into similar transactions in the future.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under such indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, or to refinance our obligations under our debt agreements, will depend on the financial and operating performance of us and our subsidiaries, which, in turn, will be subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to the financial and business risk factors, many of which may be beyond our control, as described under "—Risks Related to Our Business" above.

43

We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek to obtain additional equity capital or restructure our indebtedness. In the future, our cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient for payments of interest on and principal of our debt, and such alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet scheduled debt service obligations. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, particularly because of our high levels of debt and the debt incurrence restrictions imposed by the agreements governing our debt, as well as prevailing market conditions. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The instruments governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to dispose of assets and restrict the use of proceeds from any such dispositions. We cannot assure you we will be able to consummate those sales, or, if we do, what the timing of the sales will be or whether the proceeds that we realize will be adequate to meet debt service obligations when due.

A significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness is secured by substantially all of our consolidated assets. As a result of these security interests, such assets would only be available to satisfy claims of our general creditors or to holders of our equity securities if we were to become insolvent to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, the existence of these security interests may adversely affect our financial flexibility.

Indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facilities is secured by a lien on substantially all our assets (other than assets of foreign subsidiaries), including pledges of all or a portion of the capital stock of certain of our subsidiaries. Our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and therefore do not have the benefit of such collateral. Accordingly, if an event of default were to occur under our Senior Credit Facilities, the senior secured lenders under such facilities would have a prior right to our assets, to the exclusion of our general creditors, including the holders of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. In that event, our assets would first be used to repay in full all indebtedness and other obligations secured by them (including all amounts outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities), resulting in all or a portion of our assets being unavailable to satisfy the claims of our unsecured indebtedness. Furthermore, many of the subsidiaries that hold our U.S. and international car rental fleets in connection with our asset-backed financing programs are intended to be bankruptcy remote and the assets held by them may not be available to our general creditors in a bankruptcy unless and until they are transferred to a non-bankruptcy remote entity. As of December 31, 2007, substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our car and equipment rental fleets, have been pledged for the benefit of the lenders under our Senior Credit Facilities or are subject to securitization facilities in connection with our U.S. Fleet Debt and International Fleet Debt facilities. As a result, the lenders under these facilities would have a prior claim on such assets in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization, and we may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of our unsecured indebtedness may receive less, ratably, than the holders of our senior debt, and may not be fully paid, or may not be paid at all, even when other creditors receive full payment for their claims. In that event, holders of our equity securities would not be entitled to receive any of our assets or the proceeds therefrom. As discussed below, the pledge of these assets and other restrictions may limit our flexibility in raising capital for other purposes. Because substantially all of our assets are pledged under these financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our financial flexibility.

44

Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial flexibility.

Our Senior Credit Facilities and the indentures governing our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict Hertz's and its subsidiaries' ability to:

In addition, under our Senior Credit Facilities, we are required to comply with financial covenants. If we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity under our Senior ABL Facility, we will then be subject to financial covenants under that facility, including covenants that will obligate us to maintain a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Corporate EBITDA to fixed charges coverage ratio. The financial covenants in our Senior Term Facility include obligations to maintain a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Corporate EBITDA to interest expense coverage ratio for specified periods. Both our Senior ABL Facility and our Senior Term Facility also impose limitations on the amount of our capital expenditures. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will also depend substantially on the pricing of our products and services, our success at implementing cost reduction initiatives and our ability to successfully implement our overall business strategy. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our Senior Credit Facilities and the indentures for our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under either our Senior Credit Facilities or the indentures that would permit the applicable lenders or holders of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In any such case, we may be unable to make borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities and may not be able to repay the amounts due under the Senior Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. This could have serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.

We are also subject to operational limitations under the terms of our ABS Program. For example, there are contractual limitations with respect to the cars that secure our ABS Program. These limitations are based on the identity or credit ratings of the cars' manufacturers, the existence of satisfactory repurchase or guaranteed depreciation arrangements for the cars or the physical characteristics of the

45


cars. As a result, we may be required to limit the percentage of cars from any one manufacturer or increase the credit enhancement related to the program and may not be able to take advantage of certain cost savings that might otherwise be available through manufacturers. If these limitations prevented us from purchasing, or retaining in our fleet, cars on terms that we would otherwise find advantageous, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Further, our International Fleet Debt facilities contain a number of covenants, including a covenant that restricts the ability of our subsidiary HIL to make dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness), in an amount greater than €100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount, calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until such time as 50% of the commitments under the International Fleet Debt facilities on the Closing Date have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities (which has not yet occurred), the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of excess cash flow based on the percentage of facilities relating to the International Fleet Debt facilities at the closing of the Acquisition that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. These restrictions will limit the availability of funds from HIL and its subsidiaries to help us make payments on our indebtedness. Certain of these permanent take-out international asset-based facilities are expected to be novel and complicated structures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such permanent take-out financings on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis, if at all; if we are unable to do so, our liquidity and interest costs may be adversely affected. See "—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control."

Certain of our Canadian subsidiaries are parties to our Senior ABL Facility and are not subject to these International Fleet Debt restrictions. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries, including the operations of these Canadian subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 33% of our total revenues and 27% of our Corporate EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Note 9 to the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

The instruments governing our debt contain cross default or cross acceleration provisions that may cause all of the debt issued under such instruments to become immediately due and payable as a result of a default under an unrelated debt instrument.

The indentures governing our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes and the agreements governing our Senior Credit Facilities contain numerous covenants and require us to meet certain financial ratios and tests which utilize Corporate EBITDA. Our failure to comply with the obligations contained in these agreements or other instruments governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt and the debt issued under other instruments becoming immediately due and payable. In such event, we would need to raise funds from alternative sources, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. Alternatively, such a default could require us to sell our assets and otherwise curtail our operations in order to pay our creditors. Such alternative measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.

A significant portion of our outstanding debt, including borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities, the International Fleet Debt facilities and certain of our other outstanding debt securities, bear interest at variable rates. As a result, an increase in interest rates, whether because of an increase in market interest rates or an increase in our own cost of borrowing, would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could materially reduce our profitability, including, in the case of the U.S. Fleet Debt and the International

46


Fleet Debt facilities, our Corporate EBITDA. Recent turmoil in the credit markets has reduced the availability of debt financing, which may result in increases in the interest rates at which lenders are willing to make future debt financing available to us. The impact of such an increase would be more significant than it would be for some other companies because of our substantial debt. For a discussion of how we manage our exposure to changes in interest rates through the use of interest rate swap agreements on certain portions of our outstanding debt, see "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Risks—Interest Rate Risk."

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We may have a contingent liability arising out of electronic communications sent to institutional accounts by a previously named underwriter that did not participate as an underwriter in the initial public offering of our common stock.

We understand that, during the week of October 23, 2006, several e-mails authored by an employee of a previously named underwriter for the initial public offering of our common stock were ultimately forwarded by employees of that underwriter to approximately 175 institutional accounts. We were not involved in any way in the preparation or distribution of the e-mail messages by the employees of this previously named underwriter, and we had no knowledge of them until after they were sent. We requested that the previously named underwriter notify the institutional accounts who received these e-mail messages from its employees that the e-mail messages were distributed in error and should be disregarded. In addition, this previously named underwriter did not participate as an underwriter in the initial public offering of our common stock.

The e-mail messages may constitute a prospectus or prospectuses not meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the "Securities Act." We, the Sponsors and the other underwriters that participated in the initial public offering of our common stock disclaim all responsibility for the contents of these e-mail messages.

We do not believe that the e-mail messages constitute a violation by us of the Securities Act. However, if any or all of these communications were to be held by a court to be a violation by us of the Securities Act, the recipients of the e-mails, if any, who purchased shares of our common stock in the initial public offering of our common stock might have the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to repurchase those shares. Consequently, we could have a contingent liability arising out of these possible violations of the Securities Act. The magnitude of this liability, if any, is presently impossible to quantify, and would depend, in part, upon the number of shares purchased by the recipients of the e-mails and the trading price of our common stock. If any liability is asserted, we intend to contest the matter vigorously.

Hertz Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own that depends on its subsidiaries for cash.

The operations of Hertz Holdings are conducted almost entirely through its subsidiaries and its ability to generate cash to meet its debt service obligations, if any, or to pay dividends is highly dependent on the earnings and the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries via dividends or intercompany loans. However, none of the subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings are obligated to make funds available to Hertz Holdings for the payment of dividends. In addition, payments of dividends and interest among the companies in our group may be subject to withholding taxes. Further, the terms of the indentures governing Hertz's Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes and the agreements governing Hertz's Senior Credit Facilities and Hertz's fleet debt facilities significantly restrict the ability of the subsidiaries of Hertz to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to Hertz Holdings. Furthermore, the subsidiaries of Hertz are permitted under the terms of Hertz's Senior Credit Facilities and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends

47


or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to Hertz Holdings. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Substantial Indebtedness—Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements governing our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial flexibility." In addition, Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock.

If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it will prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

The concentrated holdings of the funds associated with the Sponsors, certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement among the funds and us and the presence of these funds' nominees on our board of directors may result in a delay or the deterrence of possible changes in control of our company, which may reduce the market price of our common stock. The interests of the Sponsors may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. See "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—The Sponsors currently control us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future." Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that, among other things, address potential conflicts between a director's interests and our interests. In addition, we have adopted a code of business conduct that, among other things, requires our employees to avoid actions or relationships that might conflict or appear to conflict with their job responsibilities or the interests of Hertz Holdings, and to disclose their outside activities, financial interests or relationships that may present a possible conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict to management or corporate counsel. These corporate governance guidelines and code of business ethics will not, by themselves, prohibit transactions with our significant stockholders.

Our share price may decline due to the large number of shares eligible for future sale.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the possibility of such sales, may adversely affect the price of our common stock and impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

There were 321,862,083 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2007. Of these shares, the 88,235,000 shares of common stock sold in the initial public offering and the 51,750,000 shares of common stock sold in the June 2007 registered secondary offering are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining shares of common stock outstanding will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but will be eligible for resale subject to applicable volume, manner of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144 or pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 701 under the Securities Act. In November 2006, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to register the shares of common stock to be issued under our stock incentive plans and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of stock options and other equity-based awards granted under these plans will also be freely tradable under the Securities Act unless purchased by our affiliates. A total of 28.5 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under our stock incentive plans.

Certain of our existing stockholders have the right under certain circumstances to require that we register their shares for resale. As of December 31, 2007, these registration rights apply to approximately 177.8 million shares of our outstanding common stock owned by the investment funds affiliated with or designated by the Sponsors.

48

Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law may discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider in their best interests.

A number of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law, may have the effect of delaying, deterring, preventing or rendering more difficult a change in control of Hertz Holdings that our stockholders might consider in their best interests. These provisions include:

These provisions may prevent our stockholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price of our common stock offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may also make it difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions may facilitate management entrenchment that may delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our control, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

49

ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

We operate car rental locations at or near airports and in central business districts and suburban areas of major cities in North America (the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg), the Pacific (Australia and New Zealand) and Brazil, as well as retail used car sales locations in the United States and France. We operate equipment rental locations in North America (the United States and Canada) and Europe (France and Spain). We also operate headquarters, sales offices and service facilities in the foregoing countries in support of our car rental and equipment rental operations, as well as small car rental sales offices and service facilities in a select number of other countries in Europe and Asia.

Of such locations, fewer than 10% are owned by us. The remaining locations are leased or operated under concessions from governmental authorities and private entities. Those leases and concession agreements typically require the payment of minimum rents or minimum concession fees and often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses; to pay additional rent, or concession fees above guaranteed minimums, based on a percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises; or to do both. See Note 8 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

We own three major facilities in the vicinity of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at which reservations for our car rental operations are processed, global information systems are serviced and major domestic and international accounting functions are performed. We also have a long-term lease for a reservation and financial center near Dublin, Ireland, at which we have centralized our European car rental reservation and customer relations and accounting functions, and we lease a reservation center in Saraland (Mobile County), Alabama to supplement the capacity of our Oklahoma City car rental reservation center. We maintain our executive offices in an owned facility in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and lease a European headquarters office in Uxbridge, England.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Fuel-Related Class Actions

We are or have been a defendant in four purported class actions—filed in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Nevada—in which the plaintiffs have put forth alternate theories to challenge the application of our Fuel and Service Charge, or "FSC," on rentals of cars that are returned with less fuel than when rented. The actions in Texas and Oklahoma remain pending, but the actions in New Mexico and Nevada were dismissed in 2007.

50

51

Other Consumer or Supplier Class Actions

We believe that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and will defend ourselves vigorously.

In addition, we are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. In the aggregate, we can be expected to expend material sums to defend and settle public liability and property damage actions and claims or to pay judgments resulting from them.

On February 19, 2007, The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this action, we and our co-plaintiff seek damages and injunctive relief based upon allegations that Enterprise and its corporate parent, The Crawford Group, Inc., unlawfully engaged in anticompetitive and unfair and deceptive business practices by claiming to customers of Hertz that once Enterprise obtains a patent that it has applied for relating to its insurance replacement reservation system, Hertz will be prevented from using the co-plaintiff's EDiCAR system, which Hertz currently uses in its insurance replacement business. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Enterprise's threats are improper because the Enterprise patent, once issued, should be invalid and unenforceable. In April 2007, Enterprise and Crawford filed a motion to dismiss and Hertz and TSD filed opposition papers in May 2007. After a hearing on Enterprise's motion in September 2007, Hertz and TSD filed an amended complaint in October 2007.

On September 25, 2007, we filed a second lawsuit, also captioned The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this second lawsuit—the patent action—we seek a declaratory judgment that a newly issued patent to The Crawford Group, Inc. is not infringed by Hertz and is invalid and unenforceable. In October 2007, we filed a motion to consolidate the antitrust action and the patent action and, in November 2007, the court granted our motion to consolidate the two actions. Enterprise and Crawford filed a motion to dismiss the patent action in December 2007 and Hertz and TSD filed opposition papers in January 2008. See "Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors—Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations" included elsewhere in this Report.

54

In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but it could be material in the period in which it is recorded.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition includes a discussion of periods prior to the consummation of the Transactions. Accordingly, the discussion and analysis of historical periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2006 does not reflect the significant impact that the Transactions had on us, including significantly increased leverage and liquidity requirements. The statements in this discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in "Item 1A—Risk Factors." The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the sections entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Item 1A—Risk Factors," "Item 6—Selected Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Overview

We are engaged principally in the business of renting cars and renting equipment.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

Our equipment rental business also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables.

Our expenses primarily consist of:

63

The car and equipment rental industries are significantly influenced by general economic conditions. The car rental industry is also significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry, and, particularly, in airline passenger traffic. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price of cars and equipment or interest rates can also have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. In the United States, 2007 model year program vehicle depreciation costs rose approximately 15% and per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year U.S. non-program cars declined as compared to 2006. As a consequence of those changes in per-car costs, as well as the larger proportion of our U.S. fleet we have purchased as non-program cars and other actions we have taken to mitigate program car cost increases, our net per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year cars in the United States have increased by less than 3% from our net per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year U.S. cars. We expect 2008 model year vehicle depreciation costs in the United States to increase between 2% to 4%. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and the use of our information systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third are fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations, initiating business process reengineering and evaluating outsourcing opportunities. When we make adjustments to our workforce and operations, we may incur incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increasing our operating efficiency and reducing the costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

On January 5, 2007, we announced the first in a series of initiatives to further improve our competitiveness through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 200 employees primarily at our corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey and our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. These reductions are expected to result in annualized savings of up to $15.8 million.

On February 28, 2007, we announced the second initiative to further improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 1,350 employees primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in our U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. These reductions are expected to result in annualized savings of up to $125.0 million.

On June 1, 2007, we announced the third initiative to further improve our operational efficiency through targeted reductions affecting approximately 480 positions in our U.S. car and equipment rental

64


operations, as well as financial and reservations-related positions in our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. These reductions are expected to result in approximately $24.0 million of annualized savings.

During 2007, we began to implement cost reducing initiatives in our European operations, and we expect to continue implementation of these measures in 2008. These measures are expected to result in additional annualized savings of approximately $50.0 million, a portion of which has already been realized in 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our consolidated statement of operations includes restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $96.4 million. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we finalized or substantially completed contract terms with industry leading service providers to outsource select functions relating to real estate facilities management and construction, procurement and information technology. Substantially all of the selected functions in these areas will be transitioned to the third-party service providers which will result in a decrease in headcount by the end of the third quarter of 2008. We expect to incur between $30 million to $40 million of restructuring costs in the first half of 2008 related to these initiatives. We plan to announce, as plans are finalized, other efficiency initiatives during 2008. We currently anticipate incurring future charges to earnings in connection with those initiatives; however, we have not yet developed detailed estimates of these expenses. See Note 12 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

For the year ended December 31, 2007, based on publicly available information, we believe some U.S. car rental brands experienced transaction day growth and rental rate revenue per transaction day, or "RPD," increases compared to comparable prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced a low to mid single digit volume increase versus the prior period in the United States, while RPD was down less than one percentage point. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced mid to high single digit volume growth in our European operations and our car rental RPD was above the level of our RPD during the year ended December 31, 2006.

In the three years ended December 31, 2007, we increased the number of our off-airport rental locations in the United States by approximately 27% to approximately 1,580 locations. Revenues from our U.S. off-airport operations grew during the same period, representing $962.0 million, $890.1 million and $845.8 million of our total car rental revenues in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In 2008 and subsequent years, our strategy will include selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. Our strategy includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at a lower RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long term strategy to generate profitable growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location's replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues, and as a result revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operation.

From 2001 to 2003, the equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing trends, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we believe industry pricing, measured in the same way, improved in the United States and Canada and only started to improve towards the end of 2005 in France and Spain. For the year ended December 31, 2007, based on publicly available information, we believe the U.S. equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. HERC experienced higher equipment rental pricing and volumes worldwide for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, with pricing increases in 2007 attributable to higher price activity in Canada and

65


Europe offsetting lower price activity in the U.S. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, HERC added six and eight U.S. locations, respectively, one and two new Canadian location(s), respectively, and seven and seven locations in Europe, respectively. HERC expects to add over 30 additional locations worldwide in 2008. In connection with its U.S. expansion, we expect HERC will incur non-fleet start-up costs of approximately $0.7 million per location and additional fleet acquisition costs, including costs to transport equipment from one branch to another, over an initial twelve-month period of approximately $2 to $4 million per location. In its European expansion, we expect HERC will incur lower start-up costs per location as compared with the United States.

Property damage and business interruption from the 2005 hurricanes in Florida and other Gulf Coast states did not have a material effect on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP." The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements and changes in these judgments and estimates may impact our future results of operations and financial condition. For additional discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Revenue Earning Equipment

Our principal assets are revenue earning equipment, which represented approximately 54% of our total assets as of December 31, 2007. Revenue earning equipment consists of vehicles utilized in our car rental operations and equipment utilized in our equipment rental operations. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 50% of the vehicles purchased for our U.S. and international car rental fleets were subject to repurchase by automobile manufacturers under contractual repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, subject to certain manufacturers' car condition and mileage requirements, at a specific price during a specified time period. These programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under these programs. For all other vehicles, as well as equipment acquired by our equipment rental business, we use historical experience and monitor market conditions to set depreciation rates. When revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period, with the objective of minimizing gain or loss on the disposition of the revenue earning equipment. Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Upon disposal of the revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value. As market conditions change, we adjust our depreciation rates prospectively, over the remaining holding period, to reflect these changes in market conditions. See Note 6 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Public Liability and Property Damage

The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve

66


requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Pensions

Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We review goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable, and also review goodwill annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." We performed an annual review in the second quarter of 2007, consistent with past years, and no impairment was determined to exist. Subsequent to performing our annual impairment review, we changed the date for performing these tests to the fourth quarter based on financial information available through October 1, 2007. We believe this change in accounting principle is preferable because the new date more closely aligns with our annual budgeting process and allows for a better estimation of the future cash flows used in the discounted cash flow model that we use to test for impairment. The change in accounting principle has no effect on our consolidated financial statements presented herein. We conducted the impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2007 and no impairment was determined to exist. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. A significant decline in the projected cash flows used to determine fair value could result in a goodwill impairment charge.

The Acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition date. Consequently, as a result of the Acquisition, we have recognized significant intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we reevaluate the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets annually or as circumstances change. Those intangible assets considered to have indefinite useful lives are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. In addition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we will perform an impairment review. We estimate the fair value of our intangible assets using a discounted cash flow methodology. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

Our estimates are based upon historical trends, management's knowledge and experience and overall economic factors. While we believe our estimates are reasonable, different assumptions regarding items such as future cash flows and volatility in the markets we serve could affect our evaluations and result in an impairment charge to the carrying amount of our goodwill and our intangible assets.

67

See Note 2 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Derivatives

We utilize certain derivative instruments to enhance our ability to manage risk related to cash flow and interest rate exposure. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures. We document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedge items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. These derivatives are marked to market either through other comprehensive income or earnings, depending upon their effectiveness. The valuation used to mark these to market is a discounted cash flow method. The key input is the current yield curve based upon market observable data.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes.

See Note 7 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the "FASB," revised its SFAS, No. 123, with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." The revised statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We have accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. As disclosed in Note 5 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," we estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate. Because the stock of Hertz Holdings became publicly traded in November 2006 and has a short trading history, it is not practicable for us to estimate the expected volatility of our share price, or a peer company share price, because there is not sufficient historical information about past volatility. Therefore, we use the calculated value method to estimate the expected volatility, based on the Dow Jones Specialized Consumer Services sub-sector within the consumer services industry, and we use the U.S. large capitalization component, which includes the top 70% of the index universe (by market value). Because historical exercise data does not exist, and because we meet the requirements of SAB No. 107, we use the simplified method for estimating the expected term. SAB No. 107 was set to expire on December 31, 2007. On December 21, 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 which indicated that they will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. We believe it is appropriate to continue to use this simplified method because we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time our common stock has been publicly traded. The assumed dividend yield is

68


zero. The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity approximately equal to the expected term of the options, as of the grant dates. We assume that in each year, 1% of the options that are outstanding but not vested will be forfeited, based on our U.S. pension plan withdrawal rate assumptions. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Stock Incentive Plan," is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

Results of Operations

In the following discussion, comparisons are made between the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (combined), notwithstanding the presentation in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005. A split presentation of an annual period is required under GAAP when a change in accounting basis occurs. Consequently, the combined presentation for 2005 is not a recognized presentation under GAAP. Accounting for an acquisition requires that the historical carrying values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed be adjusted to fair value. A resulting higher cost basis associated with the allocation of the purchase price impacts post-acquisition period results, which impacts period-to-period comparisons. We believe a discussion of the separate periods presented for the year ended December 31, 2005 in our consolidated statements of operations may impede understanding of our operating performance. The impact of the Acquisition on the 11-day Successor period ended December 31, 2005 does not materially affect the comparison of the annual periods and, accordingly, we have prepared the discussion of our results of operations by comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 (combined) with the year ended December 31, 2006 without regard to the

differentiation between Predecessor and Successor results of operations for the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the Successor period ended December 31, 2005.

Car rental rate revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units in the United States and certain ancillary revenue. Rental rate revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to management as it represents the best measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control. The following table reconciles our car rental revenue

On January 1, 2007, we changed our measure of segment profitability from income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) as this measure is now being utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. Management believes this measure better reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization of deferred debt financing costs and debt discounts, unrealized transaction gain (loss) on Euro-denominated debt (through September 30, 2006) and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. The following table reconciles income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest by segment to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) by segment (in millions of dollars):

Equipment rental and rental related revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of equipment including charges for delivery, loss damage waivers and fueling, but excluding revenue arising from the sale of equipment, parts and supplies and certain other ancillary revenue. Rental and rental related revenue is adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to our management as it is utilized in the measurement of rental revenue generated per dollar invested in fleet on an annualized basis and is comparable with the reporting of other industry participants. The following table reconciles our equipment rental revenue to our equipment rental and rental related revenue (based on December 31, 2006 foreign exchange rates) (in millions of dollars):

We present EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in this report to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and, in the case of Corporate EBITDA, information utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants under our senior credit facilities. EBITDA, as used in this report, is defined as consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization. Corporate EBITDA differs from the term "EBITDA" as it is commonly used. Corporate EBITDA, as used in this report, means "EBITDA" as that term is defined under our senior credit facilities, which is generally consolidated net income before net interest expense (other than interest expense relating to certain car rental fleet financing), consolidated income taxes, consolidated depreciation (other than depreciation related to the car rental fleet) and amortization and before certain other items, in each case as more fully defined in the agreements governing our senior credit facilities. The other items excluded in this calculation include, but are not limited to: non-cash expenses and charges; extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses; gains or losses associated with the sale or writedown of assets not in the ordinary course of business; certain management fees paid to the Sponsors; and earnings to the extent of cash dividends or distributions paid from non-controlled affiliates. Further, the covenants in our Senior Credit Facilities are calculated using Corporate EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters as a whole. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or for any complete fiscal year.

Total revenues increased 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenues from our car rental operations increased 8.4%, primarily as a result of a 5.0% increase in car rental volume worldwide, the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $179.7 million and an increase in airport concession recovery fees of $67.1 million.

RPD for worldwide car rental was unchanged from 2006, as a slight improvement of 0.9% in international RPD was offset by a slight decline of 0.4% in U.S. RPD. U.S. airport RPD increased 0.7%, reflecting our increased pricing, partly offset by a decline in U.S. off-airport RPD of 2.2%, reflecting the continued

79


growth of longer length, lower RPD business, which has a lower cost profile. Our strategy includes increasing penetration in the off-airport market and growing the online leisure market, particularly in the longer length weekly sector, which is characterized by lower vehicle costs and lower transaction costs at lower RPD. Increasing our penetration in these sectors is consistent with our long term strategy to generate profitable growth.

Revenues from our equipment rental operations increased 5.0%, due to higher rental volume and improved pricing worldwide and the effects of foreign currency translation of $34.0 million.

Revenues from all other sources increased 15.0%, primarily due to an increase in car rental licensee revenue of $13.9 million.

Total expenses increased 5.6%, and total expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 97.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 95.5% in for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Direct operating expenses increased 3.8% as a result of increases in other direct operating expenses, fleet related expenses and personnel related expenses.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our car rental operations of $1,695.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 14.6% from $1,479.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the higher cost of vehicles in the United States, an increase in average fleet operated, lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used vehicles, a $13.7 million net increase in depreciation in certain of our car rental operations resulting from changes in depreciation rates to reflect changes in the estimated residual value of vehicles and the effects of foreign currency translation. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment in our equipment rental operations of $308.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 11.0% from

80

$277.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the quantity of equipment operated, as well as lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used equipment, partly offset by a $13.1 million net decrease in depreciation in certain of our equipment rental operations resulting from changes in depreciation rates to reflect changes in the estimated residual value of equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.2%, primarily due to increases in administrative and advertising expenses and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $25.7 million. Administrative expenses increased $26.5 million primarily due to restructuring charges of $55.3 million, increases in stock-based employee compensation expense of $16.3 million, pension costs of $3.6 million and management incentive compensation of $2.9 million, partly offset by foreign currency transaction losses of $19.2 million associated with our Euro-denominated debt in 2006, stock purchase compensation expense of $13.3 million in 2006 relating to the purchase of stock by our Chief Executive Officer, a decrease in consultant fees of $9.7 million, an increase in the unrealized gain on our HIL swaptions of $6.4 million and a decrease in the employee vacation accrual resulting from a change in our U.S. vacation policy of $6.4 million. Additionally, advertising expenses increased $22.8 million primarily due to expanded media advertising, primarily in television.

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 2.8%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding, partly offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate, expenses related to the current year ineffectiveness of our HVF swaps of $20.4 million and the write-off in 2007 of $16.2 million in unamortized debt costs associated with the debt modification.

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss)

Adjusted pre-tax income for our car rental segment of $609.1 million increased 29.0% from $472.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to transaction day improvement and lower total expenses as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted pre-tax income for our equipment rental segment of $373.8 million increased 8.2% from $345.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased rental volumes and lower total expenses as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted pre-tax loss for "Corporate and other" of $322.2 million decreased 2.7% from $331.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense, partly offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Provision for Taxes on Income and Minority Interest

The provision for taxes on income increased 50.9%, primarily due to an increase in income before taxes and minority interest. The effective tax rate for 2007 decreased to 26.5% from 33.9% in 2006, primarily due to a net reduction in the global valuation allowance and a reduction to the net deferred tax liability attributable to decreases in statutory income tax rates in various jurisdictions. See Note 7 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Minority interest increased 17.8% primarily due to an increase in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income in 2007 as compared to 2006.

81

Net Income

Net income increased 128.2% primarily due to higher rental volume in our worldwide car and equipment rental operations, partly offset by higher fleet costs, as well as the net effect of other contributing factors noted above. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only foreign revenues but also most foreign expenses were incurred in local currencies.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2005 (Combined)

Revenues

Total revenues of $8,058.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 7.9% from $7,469.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Revenues from our car rental operations of $6,273.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $323.7 million, or 5.4%, from $5,949.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily the result of a 1.1% increase in car rental volume worldwide, a 2.7% increase in pricing worldwide, increases in airport concession recovery and refueling fees, license and tax reimbursement fees and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $36.4 million.

Revenues from our equipment rental operations of $1,672.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $257.2 million, or 18.2%, from $1,414.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher rental volume and improved pricing in the United States and Canada and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $18.9 million.

Revenues from all other sources of $112.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $8.3 million, or 7.9%, from $104.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to the increase in car rental licensee revenue and the effects of foreign currency translation.

Expenses

Total expenses of $7,857.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 13.4% from $6,927.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and total expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 97.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with 92.7% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Direct operating expenses of $4,476.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $286.7 million, or 6.8%, from $4,189.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was the result of increases in personnel related expenses, fleet related expenses and other direct operating expenses.

82

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our car rental operations of $1,479.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 7.1% from $1,381.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation costs for 2006 and 2007 model year program cars, lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used cars in the United States and a $9.0 million increase in depreciation for our international car rental operations due to increases in depreciation rates made during 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of cars. This increase was partly offset by a $3.7 million net reduction in depreciation in our domestic car rental operations resulting from a decrease in depreciation rates effective January 1, 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of cars. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our equipment rental operations of $277.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 27.2% from $218.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 due an increase in the quantity of equipment operated and lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used equipment in the United States. This increase was partly offset by a $15.3 million and $3.1 million net reduction in depreciation for our United States and Canadian operations combined and our French equipment rental operations, respectively, resulting from decreases in depreciation rates during 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $723.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 13.4% from $638.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in administrative and sales promotion expenses. The increase in administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in consulting and legal fees of $23.6 million, foreign currency transaction losses of $22.1 million associated with the Euro-denominated debt and non-cash stock purchase and stock option compensation charges of $16.7 million. The increase in sales promotion expenses was primarily the result of increased sales commissions, salaries and incentive compensation.

Interest expense, net of interest income, of $900.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 80.1% from $500.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to increases in the weighted average interest rate and the weighted average debt outstanding. The increase was partly offset by an increase in interest income.

The provision for taxes on income of $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 62.0% from $179.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes and minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 and a $31.3 million provision relating to the repatriation of foreign earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was partly offset by the establishment of valuation allowances of $9.8 million relating to the realization of deferred tax assets in certain European

83


countries and the establishment of certain federal and state contingencies for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the reversal of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards of $35.0 million and favorable foreign tax adjustments of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 33.9% as compared to 33.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. See Note 7 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Minority interest of $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $4.1 million from $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to an increase in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.'s net income in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Net Income

We had net income of $115.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of $234.1 million, or 66.9%, from $350.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the 80.1% increase in interest expense over the year ended December 31, 2005, as well as the net effect of other contributing factors noted above. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only foreign revenues but also most foreign expenses were incurred in local currencies.

Effects of Acquisition

Increased interest expense resulting from our higher debt levels and increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the revaluation of our tangible assets and the recognition of certain identified intangible assets, all in connection with the Acquisition, had a significant adverse impact on full year 2006 income before income taxes and minority interest.

The following table summarizes the purchase accounting effects of the Acquisition on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 (in millions of dollars):

Depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets:      
  Other intangible assets   $ 61.2
  Revenue earning equipment     13.8
  Property and equipment     10.0
Accretion of revalued liabilities:      
  Discount on debt     8.8
  Workers' compensation and public liability and property damage     5.4
   
    $ 99.2
   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and equivalents of $730.2 million, an increase of $55.7 million from December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, we had $661.0 million of restricted cash to be used for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, our like-kind exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance regulatory reserve requirements.

Our domestic and foreign operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the United States, Europe, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Brazil. Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,089.5 million, an increase of $484.7 million from the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to a year-over-year improvements in working capital and net income.

84

Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,343.6 million, an increase of $65.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from the disposal of revenue earning equipment, partly offset by a decrease in the year-over-year net change in restricted cash and a decrease in revenue earning equipment expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our expenditures for revenue earning equipment were $11,342.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the disposal of such equipment of $9,214.3 million. These assets are purchased by us in accordance with the terms of programs negotiated with the car and equipment manufacturers.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, our expenditures for property and non-revenue earning equipment were $196.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced a level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and equipment slightly higher than our net expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was due to a year-over-year decrease in disposal proceeds relating to revenue earning equipment, partly offset by decreases in year-over-year expenditures for both revenue earning equipment and property and equipment. For 2008, we expect the level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment, property and non-revenue earning equipment to be similar to that of 2007. See "—Capital Expenditures" below.

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. This is particularly true of our airport car rental operations and our equipment rental operations. To accommodate increased demand, we maintain a larger fleet by holding vehicles and equipment and purchasing additional fleet which increases our financing requirements in the second and third quarters of the year. These seasonal financing needs are funded by increasing the utilization of our bank credit facilities and the variable funding notes portion of our U.S. Fleet Debt facilities and, in past years, our commercial paper program. As business demand moderates during the winter, we reduce our fleet accordingly and dispose of vehicles and equipment. The disposal proceeds are used to reduce debt.

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Transactions and from the funding of our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $11,960.1 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the year ended December 31, 2007, was $814.1 million, net of amounts capitalized.

We rely significantly on asset-backed financing to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleets. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs, see "—Fleet Financing" below. For a discussion of risks related to our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars, see "Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control."

Also, substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the Senior ABL Facility, the ABS Program, the International Fleet Debt facilities or the fleet financing facility relating to our car rental fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Brazil, Canada, Belgium and our U.K. leveraged financing, all as described in more detail below. Substantially all our other assets in the United States are also subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, and substantially all of our other assets outside the United States are (with certain limited exceptions) subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the International Fleet Debt facilities or (in the case of our Canadian HERC business) the Senior ABL Facility. None of such assets will be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

85

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under the Senior Credit Facilities, asset-backed financing and other available financing arrangements will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Recent turmoil in the credit markets and the financial instability of insurance companies providing financial guarantees for asset-backed securities has reduced the availability of debt financing, which may result in increases in the interest rates at which lenders are willing to make debt financing available to us. The impact of such an increase would be more significant than it would be for some other companies because of our substantial debt. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 1A—Risk Factors."

Financing

Senior Credit Facilities

Senior Term Facility.    In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz entered into a credit agreement, dated December 21, 2005, with respect to its Senior Term Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time. The facility consisted of a $2,000.0 million secured term loan facility (which was decreased in February 2007 to $1,400.0 million) providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, which included a delayed draw facility of $293.0 million (which was utilized in 2006). In addition, there is a pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. On the Closing Date, Hertz utilized $1,707.0 million of the Senior Term Facility and $182.2 million in letters of credit. As of December 31, 2007, we had $1,362.7 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility, which is net of a discount of $23.4 million and had issued $242.7 million in letters of credit. The term loan facility and the synthetic letter of credit facility will mature in December 2012.

Senior ABL Facility.    Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of Hertz entered into a credit agreement, dated December 21, 2005, with respect to the Senior ABL Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent and the financial institutions party thereto from time to time. This facility provided (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,600.0 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800.0 million) under a revolving loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds sterling. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. On the Closing Date, Hertz borrowed $206 million under this facility and Matthews Equipment Limited, or "Matthews," one of Hertz's Canadian subsidiaries, borrowed CAN$225 million under this facility, in each case to finance a portion of the Transactions. Hertz and Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation are the U.S. borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility and Matthews and its subsidiaries Western Shut-Down (1995) Ltd. and Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership are the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility. At December 31, 2007, net of a discount of $19.1 million, Hertz and Matthews Equipment Limited collectively had $191.8 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility and issued $21.4 million in letters of credit. The Senior ABL Facility will mature in February 2012.

Hertz's obligations under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz Investors, Inc., its immediate parent and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including for subsidiaries involved in the U.S. Fleet Debt facility and similar special purpose financings), though HERC does not guarantee Hertz's obligations under the Senior ABL Facility because it is a borrower under that facility. In addition, the obligations of the Canadian borrowers under

86


the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, if any, subject to limited exceptions. The lenders under each of the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility have received a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective subsidiaries, subject in each case to certain exceptions (including in respect of the U.S. Fleet Debt, the International Fleet Debt and, in the case of the Senior ABL Facility, other secured fleet financing). Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Under the Senior Term Facility, the borrowers are subject to financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain a specified leverage ratio and a specified interest coverage ratio for specified periods (the requirements for both of these ratios vary throughout the term of the Senior Term Facility). Also, under the Senior ABL Facility, if the borrowers fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity, they will then be subject to financial covenants under such facility, including a specified leverage ratio (the ratio varies throughout the term of the Senior ABL Facility) and a specified fixed charges coverage ratio of one to one. Failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities would result in a default under the credit agreements governing the Senior Credit Facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2007, Hertz was in compliance with such financial covenants. The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements and provide for customary events of default.

On June 30, 2006, Hertz entered into amendments to each of its Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility. The amendments provide, among other things, for additional capacity under the covenants in these credit facilities to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, to pay cash dividends and make loans to Hertz Holdings that would, among other things, provide Hertz Holdings with cash for the payment of interest on Hertz Holdings' indebtedness (including, but not limited to, the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility) and, in the case of the amendment to the Senior Term Facility, to make investments. The ability of Hertz to pay cash dividends and make loans to Hertz Holdings remains subject to Hertz's meeting specified financial tests, as described above, as well as requirements imposed by applicable Delaware law. The amendment to the Senior Term Facility also permits Hertz to use proceeds of the $293 million Delayed Draw Term Loan to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, in addition to repaying certain other outstanding indebtedness of Hertz. On May 15, 2006, Hertz borrowed approximately $84.9 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and used the proceeds thereof to repay its 6.5% Senior Notes due 2006. Hertz borrowed the remaining portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan on July 10, 2006, and applied the proceeds thereof to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility.

On February 9, 2007, Hertz entered into an amendment to its Senior Term Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payable on the Senior Term Facility by up to 50 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) eliminating certain mandatory prepayment requirements; (iii) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that Hertz and its subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior Term Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior Term Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Hertz recorded an expense of $14.0 million, in its consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the write-off of debt costs in connection with the amendment of the Senior Term Facility.

87


Additionally, in February 2007, Hertz permanently repaid a portion of the Senior Term Facility, bringing the maximum borrowings thereunder down from $2,000 million to $1,400 million.

On February 15, 2007, Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries entered into an amendment to its Senior ABL Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payable on the Senior ABL Facility by up to 25 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) increasing the availability under the Senior ABL Facility from $1,600 million to $1,800 million; (iii) extending the term of the commitments under the Senior ABL Facility to February 15, 2012; (iv) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that the borrowers and their subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior ABL Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior ABL Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an expense of $2.2 million in our consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the write-off of debt costs in connection with the amendment of the Senior ABL Facility.

On May 23, 2007, the Senior ABL Facility and the Senior Term Facility were each amended to permit Hertz and its subsidiaries to guarantee obligations in respect to the deferred purchase price of vehicles and all other obligations arising under vehicle supply agreements entered into by Fleetco (Espana), S.L., an entity created to own the Spanish rental car fleet in connection with the pending securitization of the rental car fleets in a number of European countries and Australia. Due to Spanish law considerations, Fleetco (Espana), S.L. is an "orphan" entity which is an indirect subsidiary of a charitable trust. The Senior Credit Facilities generally permit Hertz and its subsidiaries to guarantee obligations of one another but not of unaffiliated entities, subject to certain exceptions.

On September 30, 2007, the Senior ABL Facility was amended to add Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership, an Ontario General Partnership, as an additional Canadian Borrower. Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership, whose partners are our wholly-owned subsidiary, Matthews and its wholly-owned subsidiary, was formed in connection with a reorganization of Matthews and, as part of that reorganization, received title to most of the assets of Matthews.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the Acquisition, CCMG Acquisition Corporation issued the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes under separate indentures between CCMG Acquisition Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Hertz and the guarantors entered into supplemental indentures, dated as of the Closing Date, pursuant to which Hertz assumed the obligations of CCMG Acquisition Corporation under the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the respective indentures, and the guarantors issued the related guarantees. CCMG Acquisition Corporation subsequently merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving entity.

As of December 31, 2007, $2,131.4 million and $600.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2007, $27.8 million of losses, which is net of tax of $18.3 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." The Senior Notes will mature in January 2014, and the Senior Subordinated Notes will mature in January 2016. The Senior Dollar Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 8.875%, the Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a

88


rate per annum of 7.875% and the Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.5%. Hertz's obligations under the indentures are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility.

Both the indenture for the Senior Notes and the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries, described in the respective indentures, to incur more debt, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates. The indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains subordination provisions and limitations on the types of senior subordinated debt that may be incurred. The indentures also contain certain mandatory and optional prepayment or redemption provisions and provide for customary events of default.

On January 12, 2007, Hertz completed exchange offers for its outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes whereby over 99% of the outstanding notes were exchanged for a like principal amount of new notes with identical terms that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4.

Fleet Financing

U.S. Fleet Debt.    In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by Hertz, entered into an amended and restated base indenture, dated as of December 21, 2005, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee, or the "ABS Indenture," and a number of related supplements to the ABS Indenture, each dated as of December 21, 2005, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee and securities intermediary, or, collectively, the "ABS Supplement." On the Closing Date, HVF, as issuer, issued approximately $4,300 million of new medium term asset-backed notes consisting of 11 classes of notes in two series under the ABS Supplement, the net proceeds of which were used to finance the purchase of vehicles from related entities and the repayment or cancellation of existing debt. HVF also issued approximately $1,500 million of variable funding notes in two series, none of which were funded at closing. As of December 31, 2007, $4,299.9 million (net of a $0.1 million discount) were outstanding in the form of these medium term notes.

Each class of notes has an expected final payment date approximately three, four or five years from the Closing Date. The variable funding notes will be funded through the bank multi seller commercial paper market. The assets of HVF, including the U.S. car rental fleet owned by HVF and certain related assets, collateralize the U.S. Fleet Debt and Pre-Acquisition ABS Notes. Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

On October 24, 2007, supplements to the ABS Indenture were amended to increase the maximum non-eligible vehicle amount from 65% to 85% of the adjusted aggregate asset amount, thus effectively increasing the amount of vehicles which are not subject to manufacturer repurchase programs that can be included in the borrowing base under the ABS Program.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF entered into certain interest rate swap agreements, or the "HVF Swaps," effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 2010. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. HVF paid $44.8 million to reduce the fixed interest rate on the swaps from the prevailing market rates to 4.5%. Ultimately, this amount will be recognized as additional interest expense over the remaining terms of the swaps, which range from approximately 1 to 3 years. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an expense of $20.4 million in our consolidated statement of

89


operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the ineffectiveness of our HVF Swaps. The ineffectiveness resulted from a decline in the value of the swaps due to a decrease in forward interest rates along with a decrease in the time value component as we continue to approach the maturity dates of the swaps. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the swaps is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income." As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income," net of tax, was a loss of $45.6 million, and a gain of $3.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the HVF Swaps was an asset of $50.6 million, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of our HVF Swaps was a liability of $50.2 million, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities."

The U.S. Fleet Debt issued on the closing date of the Acquisition has the benefit of financial guaranty insurance policies under which either MBIA or Ambac will guarantee the timely payment of interest on and ultimate payment of principal of such notes.

In connection with the entrance into the HVF swaps, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the "differential swaps." These differential swaps were required to be put in place to protect the counterparties to the HVF swaps in the event of an "amortization event" under the asset-backed notes agreements. In the event of an amortization event, the amount by which the principal balance on the floating rate portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt is reduced, exclusive of the originally scheduled amortization, becomes the notional amount of the differential swaps, and is transferred to Hertz. There was no payment associated with these differential swaps and their notional amounts are and will continue to be zero unless 1) there is an amortization event, which causes the amortization of the loan balance, or 2) the debt is prepaid.

An event of bankruptcy (as defined in the indentures governing the U.S. Fleet Debt) with respect to MBIA or Ambac would constitute an amortization event under the portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt facilities guaranteed by the affected insurer. In that event we would also be required to apply a proportional amount, or substantially all in the case of insolvency of both insurers, of all rental payments by Hertz to its special purpose leasing subsidiary and all car disposal proceeds under the applicable facility, or under substantially all U.S. Fleet Debt facilities in the case of insolvency of both insurers, to pay down the amounts owed under the facility or facilities instead of applying those proceeds to purchase additional cars and/or for working capital purposes. An insurer event of bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity if we were unable to negotiate mutually acceptable new terms with our U.S. Fleet Debt lenders or if alternate funding were not available to us.

HVF is subject to numerous restrictive covenants under the ABS Indenture and the other agreements governing the U.S. Fleet Debt, including restrictive covenants with respect to liens, indebtedness, benefit plans, mergers, disposition of assets, acquisition of assets, dividends, officers' compensation, investments, agreements, the types of business it may conduct and other customary covenants for a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. The U.S. Fleet Debt is subject to events of default and amortization events that are customary in nature for U.S. rental car asset-backed securitizations of this type. The occurrence of an amortization event or event of default could result in the acceleration of principal of the notes and a liquidation of the U.S. car rental fleet.

International Fleet Debt.    In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz International, Ltd., or "HIL," a Delaware corporation organized as a foreign subsidiary holding company and a direct subsidiary of Hertz, and certain of its subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States), together with certain bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (whether organized as HIL's subsidiaries or as non-affiliated "orphan" companies), or "SPEs," entered into revolving bridge loan facilities providing commitments to lend, in various currencies an aggregate amount equivalent to approximately $2,768.9 million (calculated as of December 31, 2007), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of HIL's subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or one or more SPEs, as the case may be, and rental equipment and related assets of certain of

90


HIL's subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more SPEs, as the case may be. As of the closing date of the Acquisition, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,781 million of indebtedness under the International Fleet Debt facilities was issued and outstanding under these facilities. At closing, Hertz utilized the proceeds from these financings to finance a portion of the Transactions. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,881.6 million in borrowings was outstanding under these facilities, net of a $0.3 million discount. These facilities are referred to collectively as the "International Fleet Debt facilities."

The International Fleet Debt facilities consist of four revolving loan tranches (Tranches A1, A2, B and C), each subject to borrowing bases comprising the revenue earning equipment and related assets of each applicable borrower or the corresponding fleet owned entity. A portion of the Tranche C loan is available for the issuance of letters of credit.

The obligations of the borrowers under the International Fleet Debt facilities are guaranteed by HIL, and by the other borrowers and certain related entities under the applicable tranche, in each case subject to certain legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations. The obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans are subordinated to the obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of such borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans. Subject to legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations and to certain exceptions, the International Fleet Debt facilities are secured by a material part of the assets of each borrower, certain related entities and each guarantor, including pledges of the capital stock of each borrower and certain related entities. The obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans and the guarantees thereof are secured on a junior second priority basis by any assets securing the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans and the guarantees thereof. The assets that collateralize the International Fleet Debt facilities will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors.

The facilities under each of the tranches mature five years from the Closing Date of the Acquisition. Subject to certain exceptions, the loans are subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction in commitment amounts equal to the net proceeds of specified types of take-out financing transactions and asset sales.

The International Fleet Debt facilities contain a number of covenants (including, without limitation, covenants customary for transactions similar to the International Fleet Debt facilities) that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of our subsidiary, HIL, the borrowers and the other subsidiaries of HIL to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, make negative pledges, change the nature of their business or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, HIL is restricted from making dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness) in an amount greater than €100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until such time as 50% of the commitments under the International Fleet Debt facilities as of the closing date of the Acquisition have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of cumulative excess cash flow based on the percentage of the International Fleet Debt facilities that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. As a result of the contractual restrictions on HIL's ability to pay dividends to Hertz as of December 31, 2007, the restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.

The subsidiaries conducting the car rental business in certain European jurisdictions may, at their option, continue to engage in capital lease financings relating to revenue earning equipment outside the International Fleet Debt facilities. As of December 31, 2007, there were $30.8 million of capital lease financings outstanding. These capital lease financings are included in the International Fleet Debt total.

91

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for €3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions gave HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed twice in 2007, prior to their scheduled expiration dates of March 15, 2007 and September 5, 2007, at a total cost of €2.7 million, and now expire on June 5, 2008. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair value of the swaptions was €6.2 million (or $9.2 million) and €1.3 million (or $1.7 million), respectively, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the fair value adjustment related to these swaptions was a gain of $3.9 million and a loss of $2.5 million, respectively, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. Additionally, as of December 31, 2007, we have incurred $40.4 million of financing costs related to the anticipated take-out international asset-based facilities, which are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." We expect to enter into these take-out international asset-based facilities upon completion of the structuring and amortize the costs over the term of the facility.

On December 21, 2007, HIL, certain of its subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States), Hertz Europe Limited, as Coordinator, BNP Paribas and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as Mandated Lead Arrangers, Calyon, as Co-Arranger, BNP Paribas, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, and Calyon, as Joint Bookrunners, BNP Paribas, as Facility Agent, BNP Paribas, as Security Agent, BNP Paribas, as Global Coordinator, and the financial institutions named therein, entered into an amendment agreement, or the "Amendment Agreement," amending the revolving bridge loan facilities agreement, dated December 21, 2005 and amended as of March 21, 2007 (as further amended by the Amendment Agreement, or the "SBFA"). The Amendment Agreement, which became effective on December 21, 2007, was entered into for the purpose of (i) amending certain terms affecting the margins on the revolving bridge loan facilities established by the SBFA, and (ii) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the terms of the facilities. Additionally, the intercreditor deed pertaining to the International Fleet Debt facilities was amended to, among other things, remove the Brazilian facility.

Fleet Financing Facility.    On September 29, 2006, Hertz and Puerto Ricancars, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz, or "PR Cars," entered into a credit agreement to finance the acquisition of Hertz's and/or PR Cars' fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, dated as of September 29, 2006, or the "Fleet Financing Facility," with the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Gelco Corporation d.b.a. GE Fleet Services, or the "Fleet Financing Agent," as administrative agent, as collateral agent for collateral owned by Hertz and as collateral agent for collateral owned by PR Cars. Affiliates of Merrill Lynch & Co. are lenders under the Fleet Financing Facility.

The Fleet Financing Facility provides (subject to availability under a borrowing base) a revolving credit facility of up to $275 million to Hertz and PR Cars. On September 29, 2006, Hertz borrowed $124 million under this facility to refinance other debt. As of December 31, 2007, Hertz and PR Cars had $150.4 million (net of a $1.6 million discount) and $20.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under this facility. The borrowing base formula is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and (in certain other instances) at the permitted discretion of the Fleet Financing Agent.

The Fleet Financing Facility will mature in December 2011 but Hertz and PR Cars may terminate or reduce the commitments of the lenders thereunder at any time. The Fleet Financing Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amount by which outstanding extensions of credit to Hertz or PR Cars exceed the lesser of the Hertz or PR Cars borrowing base, as applicable, and the commitments then in effect.

The obligations of each of the borrowers under the Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by each of Hertz's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries whose only material assets

92


consist of securities and debt of foreign subsidiaries and related assets, subsidiaries involved in the ABS Program or other similar special purpose financings, subsidiaries with minority ownership positions, certain subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of PR Cars are guaranteed by Hertz. The obligations of Hertz under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents, including, without limitation, its guarantee of PR Cars' obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility, are secured by security interests in Hertz's rental car fleet in Hawaii and by certain assets related to Hertz's rental car fleet in Hawaii and Kansas, including, without limitation, manufacturer repurchase program agreements. PR Cars' obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents are secured by security interests in PR Cars' rental car fleet in Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and by certain assets related thereto.

At the applicable borrower's election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Fleet Financing Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) LIBOR plus a borrowing margin of 125 basis points or (2) an alternate base rate of the prime rate plus a borrowing margin of 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2007, the average interest rate was 6.3% (LIBOR based).

The Fleet Financing Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to create liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers, enter into agreements which restrict liens on the Fleet Financing Facility collateral or Hertz's rental car fleet in Kansas or change the nature of their business.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain of the documents relating to the Fleet Financing Facility were amended to make certain technical and administrative changes.

Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility.    On April 4, 2007, our Brazilian subsidiary, Car Rental Systems Do Brasil Locacao De Veiculos Ltda., or "Hertz Brazil," entered into an agreement amending and restating its credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility to R$130 million (or $73.2 million), consisting of an R$70 million (or $39.4 million) term loan facility and an R$60 million (or $33.8 million) revolving credit facility (the "Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility"). The borrowing margin was reduced from 300 basis points over CDI (Brazil's interbank deposit rate) to 225 basis points over CDI. The amendment also increased the borrowing base advance rate from 80% to 85% of the value of the fleet. The credit facility is secured by Hertz Brazil's fleet of vehicles and backed by a $63.5 million Hertz guarantee. This facility will mature in December 2010. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $62.9 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

Canadian Fleet Financing Facility.    On May 30, 2007, our indirect subsidiary, Hertz Canada Limited, and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with CARE Trust, a third-party special purpose commercial paper conduit administered by Bank of Montreal, or "CARE Trust," which acts as conduit for the asset-backed borrowing facility, and certain related agreements and transactions, in order to establish an asset-backed borrowing facility to provide financing for our Canadian rental car fleet (the "Canadian Fleet Financing Facility"). The new facility refinanced the Canadian portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. The maximum amount which may be borrowed under the new facility is CAN$400 million (or $392.1 million). This facility matures in May 2012. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $155.4 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

On December 24, 2007, Hertz Canada Limited, an indirect subsidiary of Hertz, and certain subsidiaries of Hertz Canada Limited, entered into a waiver and agreement with CARE Trust (the "waiver and agreement"). The waiver and agreement allows the borrowers to designate certain vehicles as "unfunded risk vehicles" during a waiver period, which began on December 24, 2007 and will end on March 31, 2008. During the waiver period, vehicles designated as unfunded risk vehicles are excluded from the calculation of the borrowing base and are also excluded for purposes of determining whether certain covenants regarding the composition of the vehicle pool are satisfied.

93

Belgian Fleet Financing Facility.    On June 21, 2007, our Belgian subsidiary, Hertz Belgium BVBA, entered into a secured revolving credit facility with varying facility limits of up to €27.4 million (or $40.4 million) maturing in December 2010 (the "Belgian Fleet Financing Facility"). The new facility refinanced the Belgian portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. This facility is guaranteed by HIL and the fleet assets used in the Belgian operations are pledged as collateral for this debt. Interest is charged at a spread over the Euribor. This facility contains a number of covenants typical for this type of facility, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, creation of liens, engaging in mergers and change of business. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $30.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

U.K. Leveraged Financing.    On December 21, 2007, our subsidiary in the United Kingdom, or the "U.K.," Hertz (U.K.) Limited, entered into an agreement for a sale and lease back facility with a financial institution in the U.K., under which we may sell and leaseback fleet up to the value of £135.0 million (or $271.2 million). The amount available under this facility increases over the term of the facility. The facility is scheduled to mature in December 2013. This facility refinanced the U.K. portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. This facility is guaranteed by HIL and pricing is based on current LIBOR. This facility contains covenants typical for this type of facility including restrictions on engaging in mergers and change of business, and includes requirements to meet on a quarterly basis certain ratios measuring utilization, interest coverage and net worth. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $222.7 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

Pre-Acquisition Debt

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $509.4 million (net of a $5.1 million discount) outstanding in pre-Acquisition promissory notes issued under three separate indentures at an average interest rate of 7.1%. These pre-Acquisition promissory notes have maturities ranging from 2008 to 2028.

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately €7.6 million (or $10.0 million) outstanding in pre-Acquisition Euro Medium Term Notes, in connection with which we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006 and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap was to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro Medium Term Notes. On June 30, 2007, the remaining notes outstanding and related interest rate swap agreements pursuant to the Euro Medium Term Note Program were repaid in full and expired, respectively.

We also had outstanding as of December 31, 2007 approximately $303.6 million in borrowings, net of a $3.9 million discount, consisting of pre-Acquisition ABS Notes with an average interest rate of 3.1%. These pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have maturities ranging from 2008 to 2009. See "U.S. Fleet Debt" for a discussion of the collateralization of the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes.

Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2007, the following credit facilities were available for the use of Hertz and its subsidiaries:

(1)
Amounts represent aggregate debt obligations included in "Debt" in our consolidated balance sheet and include $2,767.7 million of other short-term borrowings. These amounts exclude estimated payments under interest rate swap agreements. See Note 3 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

(2)
Amounts represent the estimated interest payments based on the principal amounts, minimum non-cancelable maturity dates and applicable interest rates on the debt at December 31, 2007. The minimum non-cancelable obligations under the International Fleet Debt, Senior ABL Facility and the Fleet Financing Facility matures between January and March 2008. While there was no requirement to do so, these obligations were subsequently renewed.

(3)
Includes obligations under various concession agreements, which provide for payment of rents and a percentage of revenue with a guaranteed minimum, and lease agreements for real estate, revenue earning equipment and office and computer equipment. Such obligations are reflected to the extent of their minimum non-cancelable terms. See Note 8 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

(4)
As of December 31, 2007, represents our FIN 48 liability and FIN 48 net accrued interest and penalties of $18.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of FIN 48 liability and interest and penalty payments in individual years beyond twelve months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions. See Note 7 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

(5)
Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Only the minimum non-cancelable portion of purchase agreements and related cancellation penalties are included as obligations. In the case of contracts, which state minimum quantities of goods or services, amounts reflect only the stipulated minimums; all other contracts reflect estimated amounts. Of the total purchase obligations as of December 31, 2007, $4,864.9 million represent fleet purchases where contracts have been signed or are pending with committed orders under the terms of such arrangements. We do not regard our employment relationships with our employees as "agreements to purchase services" for these purposes.

Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental operations were $10,631.9 million, $10,545.7 million and $11,493.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our equipment rental operations were $710.2 million, $875.2 million and $927.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 0.8% and decreased by 18.9%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in our car rental revenue earning equipment expenditures is primarily due to higher rental volumes during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, which required us to maintain higher fleet levels. The decrease in our equipment rental operations revenue earning equipment expenditures is primarily due to reduced spending on earth moving equipment as a result of slowing non-residential construction growth and our efforts to age our equipment rental fleet during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 8.2% and 5.6%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in our car rental revenue earning equipment expenditures is due to the change in the mix of purchases made during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental operations were $132.8 million, $166.4 million and $271.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Property and equipment expenditures in our equipment rental operations were $60.4 million, $54.4 million and

97


$69.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Property and equipment expenditures in our "corporate and other" activities were $2.8 million, $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental, equipment rental and "corporate and other" operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased by 20.2%, increased by 11.0% and decreased by 9.7%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental, equipment rental and "corporate and other" operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 38.6%, 21.2% and increased by 6.9%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced a level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and equipment slightly higher than our net expenditures in 2006. This increase was due to a year-over-year decrease in disposal proceeds relating to revenue earning equipment, partly offset by decreases in year-over-year expenditures for both revenue earning equipment and property and equipment.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced a level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and equipment slightly lower than our net expenditures in 2005. This decrease was due to a decrease in the percentage of program cars purchased and an increase in the percentage of lower cost non-program cars purchased for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnifications for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors in connection with the initial public offering of our common stock in November 2006. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us.

98

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities" were $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Risk Management

For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see "Item 1—Business—Risk Management."

Market Risks

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and historically have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. For more information on these exposures, see Note 13 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF and Hertz entered into seven interest rate swap agreements, or the "HVF swaps," effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS 133. The HVF swaps were entered into for the purpose of locking in the interest cash outflows on the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 2010. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations.

In connection with the entrance into the HVF swaps, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the "differential swaps." These differential swaps were required to be put in place to protect the counterparties to the HVF swaps in the event of an "amortization event" under the asset-backed notes agreements. In the event of an amortization event, the amount by which the principal

99


balance on the floating rate portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt is reduced, exclusive of the originally scheduled amortization, becomes the notional amount of the differential swaps, and is transferred to Hertz. There was no payment associated with these differential swaps and their notional amounts are and will continue to be zero unless 1) there is an amortization event, which causes the amortization of the loan balance, or 2) the debt is prepaid.

An event of bankruptcy (as defined in the indentures governing the U.S. Fleet Debt) with respect to MBIA or Ambac would constitute an amortization event under the portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt facilities guaranteed by the affected insurer. In that event we would also be required to apply a proportional amount, or substantially all in the case of insolvency of both insurers, of all rental payments by Hertz to its special purpose leasing subsidiary and all car disposal proceeds under the applicable facility, or under substantially all U.S. Fleet Debt facilities in the case of insolvency of both insurers, to pay down the amounts owed under the facility or facilities instead of applying those proceeds to purchase additional cars and/or for working capital purposes. An insurer event of bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity if we were unable to negotiate mutually acceptable new terms with our U.S. Fleet Debt lenders or if alternate funding were not available to us.

In connection with the remaining €7.6 million untendered balance of our Euro Medium Term Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006, and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro Medium Term Notes. On June 30, 2007, the remaining notes outstanding and related interest rate swap agreements pursuant to the Euro Medium Term Note Program were repaid in full and expired, respectively.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for €3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions gave HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed twice in 2007, prior to their scheduled expiration dates of March 15, 2007 and September 5, 2007, at a total cost of €2.7 million, and now expire on June 5, 2008.

See Notes 3 and 13 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

We have a significant amount of debt (including under our U.S. and International Fleet Debt and Senior ABL Facility) with variable rates of interest based generally on LIBOR, EURIBOR or their equivalents for local currencies plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt.

We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio as of December 31, 2007, our net income would decrease by an estimated $9.9 million over a twelve-month period.

Consistent with the terms of the agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the Senior Credit Facilities and the U.S. and International Fleet Debt to provide protection in respect of such exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to

100


currency option contracts are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of December 31, 2007, were approximately $0.3 million, and we limit counterparties to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans. The forward rate is reflected in the intercompany loan rate to the subsidiaries, and as a result, the forward contracts have no material impact on our results of operations.

In connection with the Transactions, we issued €225 million of unhedged Senior Euro Notes. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2007, $27.8 million of losses, which are net of tax of $18.3 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."

Inflation

The increased acquisition cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.

Like-Kind Exchange Program

In January 2006, we implemented a like-kind exchange program for our U.S. car rental business. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred "like-kind exchanges" pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal 2007. A like-kind exchange program for HERC has been in place for several years. We cannot, however, offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will be achieved or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. In addition, the benefit of deferral is subject to recapture, if, for example, there were a material downsizing of our fleet.

Employee Retirement Benefits

Pension

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Our 2007 worldwide pre-tax pension expense was approximately $42.1 million, which is an increase of $6.5 million from 2006. The increase in expense compared to 2006 is attributable to net curtailment and settlement charges of $3.3 million and the effects of foreign currency translation. To the extent that there are layoffs affecting a significant number of employees covered by any pension plan worldwide, 2008 expense could vary significantly because of further charges or credits.

The funded status (i.e., the dollar amount by which the present value of projected benefit obligations exceeded the market value of pension plan assets) of our U.S. qualified plan, in which most domestic employees participate, declined as of December 31, 2007, compared with December 31, 2006. The ratio of assets to the projected benefit obligation was consistent from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the decline in dollar terms is that no contributions were made in 2007.

101

We review our pension assumptions regularly and from time to time make contributions beyond those legally required. For example, no discretionary contributions were made to our U.S. qualified plan in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and a $28.0 million was made to our U.S. qualified plan for the year ended December 31, 2005. After giving effect to these contributions, based on current interest rates and on our return assumptions and assuming no additional contributions, we do not expect to be required to pay any variable-rate premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation before 2010. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we contributed $30.3 million and 28.8 million, respectively, to our worldwide pension plans, including a discretionary contribution of $5.2 million and $15.6 million, respectively, to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans.

We participate in various "multiemployer" pension plans administrated by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the event that we withdraw from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our statement of operations and as a liability on our balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan's funding of vested benefits. In the ordinary course of our renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we could decide to discontinue participation in a plan, and in that event we could face a withdrawal liability. Some multiemployer plans, including one in which we participate, are reported to have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability.

Other Postretirement Benefits

We provide limited postretirement health care and life insurance for employees of our domestic operations with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. There are no plan assets associated with this plan. We provide for these postretirement costs through monthly accruals. The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.7 million and the accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2007 was $13.2 million compared to a net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and an accumulated benefit obligation of $16.6 million as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in the accumulated benefit obligation was primarily attributable to the increase in the discount rate from 5.7% as of December 31, 2006 to 6.3% as of December 31, 2007.

Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan

On February 15, 2006, our Board of Directors and that of Hertz jointly approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Stock Incentive Plan." The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the sale of shares of stock of Hertz Holdings to our executive officers, other key employees and directors as well as the grant of stock options to purchase shares of Hertz Holdings to those individuals.

During the second quarter of 2006, we made an equity offering to approximately 350 of Hertz's executives and key employees (not including Craig R. Koch, our former Chief Executive Officer). The shares sold and options granted to our employees in connection with this equity offering are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The offering closed on May 5, 2006. In connection with this offering, we sold 1,757,354 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and granted options to purchase an additional 2,786,354 shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share ($4.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). In addition, on May 18, 2006, we granted Hertz's key executives and employees (except for Mr. Koch) options to acquire an additional 9,515,000 shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share ($4.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006), 800,000 shares at $15.00 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and

102


November 21, 2006) and 800,000 shares at $20.00 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). These options are subject to and governed by the Stock Incentive Plan.

On June 12, 2006, Mr. Koch purchased 50,000 shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and received options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share ($5.68 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006). On August 15, 2006, the options issued to Mr. Koch in June 2006 were cancelled and he was issued options to purchase 112,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Hertz Holdings made a payment to Mr. Koch in connection with his share purchase equal to $80,000.

On August 15, 2006, certain newly-hired employees purchased an aggregate of 20,000 shares at a purchase price of $7.68 per share and were granted options to purchase 220,000 shares of Hertz Holdings stock at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Also on August 15, 2006, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Frissora purchased 1,056,338 shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at a price of $5.68 per share and was granted options to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006), 400,000 options at an exercise price of $10.68 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) and 400,000 options at an exercise price of $15.68 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). All of Mr. Frissora's options will vest 20% per year on the first five anniversaries of the date of commencement of his employment and will have a ten year term.

During September 2006, we determined that the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006 was $16.37 per share, rather than the $7.68 that had originally been determined at that time and which we use for purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan and federal income tax purposes. Consequently, we recognized compensation expense of approximately $13.0 million, including amounts for a tax gross-up on the initial $2.00 discount to fair market value in accordance with Mr. Frissora's employment agreement, in the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

In order to assist management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in their determination of the value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings, Hertz engaged an independent valuation specialist to perform a valuation of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at May 15, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The May 15th date is close to the initial stock purchase and option grant date of May 5, 2006 and the second option grant date of May 18, 2006. The June 30th date coincides with the payment of the special cash dividend of $4.32 per share.

The independent valuation specialist weighted each of the income, market transaction and market comparable valuation approaches equally. Management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors believe that the valuation approaches employed are appropriate for an enterprise such as Hertz Holdings, which has an established financial history of profitable operations and generation of positive cash flows. The results of the approaches were not significantly different from one another.

In connection with the authorization of the special cash dividend of $4.32 per share paid on June 30, 2006, the Board of Hertz Holdings authorized the modification of the option exercise prices downward by an amount equal to the per share amount of the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006, thereby preserving the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law. In order to assist management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in their determination of the value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings, an independent valuation was performed as of immediately before and after the modification. We will recognize incremental compensation cost of approximately $14.1 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options for

103


the special cash dividend over the remainder of the five-year requisite vesting period that began on the grant date.

Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of Hertz Holdings on November 21, 2006, Hertz Holdings declared a special cash dividend, to be paid promptly following the completion of the offering. In connection with the special cash dividend, Hertz Holdings' outstanding stock options were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law and the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The Board approved this modification on October 12, 2006. Beginning on that date, the cost of the modification was recognized ratably over the remainder of the requisite service period for each grant. Because the modification was effective before the amount of the dividend was known, the cost of the modification reflected the assumption that the dividend would be funded by the proceeds to Hertz Holdings from the sale of the common stock after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The assumed proceeds from the sale of the common stock were determined by assuming an offering price equivalent to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of the initial public offering prospectus (or $17.00 per share) and resulted in an estimated dividend of $1.83 per share. The actual dividend declared was $1.12 per share. We will recognize incremental compensation cost of $14.2 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006 over the remainder of the five-year requisite service period. This charge was based on the estimated dividend, rather than the actual dividend paid.

In May 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 1,029,007 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to key executives, employees and non-management directors at exercise prices ranging from $20.55 to $21.87. In August 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 510,000 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to certain executives, including an award to Mark P. Frissora, our Chief Executive Officer, at exercise prices ranging from $22.61 to $23.06. In November 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 232,000 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to certain executives at exercise prices ranging from $17.14 to $21.22. These options are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, and the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Director Plan." We have accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." The options are being accounted for as equity-classified awards.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized compensation cost of $32.9 million ($20.2 million, net of tax) including $5.1 million related to restructuring activities. As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $85.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted by Hertz Holdings under the Stock Incentive Plan, including costs related to modifying the exercise prices of certain option grants in order to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law, to reflect special cash dividends of $4.32 per share paid on June 30, 2006 and $1.12 per share paid on November 21, 2006. These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over the remaining 2.1 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," or "SFAS No. 157." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for us for financial instruments beginning in January 2008 and non-financial instruments beginning in January 2009. We are currently reviewing SFAS No. 157 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations. In 2008, we anticipate an impact on only our financial statement disclosures.

104

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," or "SFAS No. 159." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for us beginning in January 2008. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), "Business Combinations," or "SFAS No. 141(R)." The new standard requires the acquiring entity that gains control in a business combination to recognize 100% of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires that acquisition related costs be expensed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for us beginning in January 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51," or "SFAS No. 160." SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of stockholders' equity. Additionally, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests must be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Finally, changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary will be accounted for consistently as equity transactions. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are effective for us beginning in January 2009.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, or "SAB No. 110," which expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of the expected term of "plain vanilla" stock options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R). SAB No. 110 allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the "simplified" method in developing an estimate of the expected term of so-called "plain vanilla" stock options, and we will continue to use such method until such time as there is sufficient historical evidence on which we can base an estimate of the expected term of our stock options.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and for the period from December 21, 2005 to December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, appearing on Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Background and Change in Ownership

Background

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is referred to herein as "Hertz Holdings." The Hertz Corporation is referred to herein as "Hertz." The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to (i) prior to December 21, 2005, Hertz and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) on and after December 21, 2005, Hertz Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Hertz). 100% of Hertz's outstanding capital stock is owned by Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously known as CCMG Corporation), and 100% of Hertz Investors, Inc.'s capital stock is owned by Hertz Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.).

Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware on August 31, 2005 by the Sponsors (as defined below) to serve as the top-level holding company for Hertz, its primary operating company. Hertz Holdings had no operations prior to the Acquisition (as defined below). Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the automobile and truck rental and leasing business since 1918. Ford Motor Company, or "Ford," first acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Previously, Hertz had been a subsidiary of UAL Corporation (formerly Allegis Corporation), which had acquired Hertz's outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985. Hertz became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford as a result of a series of transactions in 1993 and 1994. Hertz continued as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford until April 1997. In 1997, Hertz completed a public offering of approximately 50.6% of Hertz's Class A Common Stock, or the "Class A Common Stock," which represented approximately 19.1% of Hertz's economic interest. In March 2001, Ford, through a subsidiary, acquired all of Hertz's outstanding Class A Common Stock that it did not already own for $35.50 per share, or approximately $735 million. As a result of that acquisition, Hertz's Class A Common Stock ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. However, because certain of Hertz's debt securities were sold through public offerings, Hertz continued to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Acquisition and Related Transactions

On December 21, 2005, or the "Closing Date," investment funds associated with or designated by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., or "CD&R," The Carlyle Group, or "Carlyle," and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity, or "MLGPE," or collectively the "Sponsors," through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings, acquired all of Hertz's common stock from a subsidiary of Ford, or the "Acquisition," for aggregate consideration of $4,379 million in cash, debt refinanced or assumed of $10,116 million and transaction fees and expenses of $447 million. To finance the cash consideration for the Acquisition, to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and to pay related transaction fees and expenses, or the "Transactions," the Sponsors used:

113

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In connection with the Transactions, we also refinanced our existing indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $8,346 million, through the following transactions, which was repaid as follows:

114

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The term "Successor" refers to us following the Acquisition. The term "Predecessor" refers to us prior to the Acquisition. The "Successor period ended December 31, 2005" refers to the period from December 21, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and the "Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005" refers to the period from January 1, 2005 to December 20, 2005.

Initial and Secondary Public Offering

In November 2006, we completed our initial public offering of 88,235,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $15.00, with proceeds to us before underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $1.3 billion. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings that were outstanding under a $1.0 billion loan facility entered into by Hertz Holdings, or the "Hertz Holdings Loan Facility," and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds were also used to pay special cash dividends of $1.12 per share on November 21, 2006 to stockholders of record of Hertz Holdings immediately prior to the initial public offering.

In June 2007, the Sponsors completed a secondary public offering of 51,750,000 shares of their Hertz Holdings common stock at a per share price of $22.25. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares. We paid all of the expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions of the selling stockholders, pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into at the time of the Acquisition. These expenses aggregated to approximately $2.0 million. Immediately following the secondary public offering, the Sponsors' ownership percentage in us decreased to approximately 55%.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hertz Holdings and our wholly-owned and majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Rental and rental-related revenue (including cost reimbursements from customers where we consider ourselves to be the principal versus an agent) are recognized over the period the revenue earning equipment is rented based on the terms of the rental or leasing contract. Revenue related to new equipment sales and consumables is recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured. Fees from our licensees are recognized over the period

115

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


the underlying licensees' revenue is earned (over the period the licensees' revenue earning equipment is rented).

Cash and Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash and equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under our Fleet Debt facilities, our like-kind exchange programs and to satisfy certain of our self insurance regulatory reserve requirements. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the portion of total restricted cash that was associated with our Fleet Debt facilities was $573.1 million and $487.0 million, respectively.

Depreciable Assets

The provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, as follows:

Revenue Earning Equipment:    
  Cars   5 to 16 months
  Other equipment   24 to 108 months
Buildings   20 to 50 years
Capitalized internal use software   1 to 15 years
Service cars and service equipment   1 to 25 years
Other intangible assets   5 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements   The shorter of their economic lives or the lease term.

We follow the practice of charging maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense accounts. Costs of major replacements of units of property are capitalized to property and equipment accounts and depreciated on the basis indicated above. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in income as realized. When revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period we will hold the asset. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period, with the objective of minimizing gain or loss on the disposition of the revenue earning equipment. Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Upon disposal of the revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value.

Environmental Liabilities

The use of automobiles and other vehicles is subject to various governmental controls designed to limit environmental damage, including that caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these controls are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. To comply with environmental regulations, measures are taken at certain locations to reduce the loss of vapor

116

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


during the fueling process and to maintain, upgrade and replace underground fuel storage tanks. We also incur and provide for expenses for the cleanup of petroleum discharges and other alleged violations of environmental laws arising from the disposition of waste products. We do not believe that we will be required to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or to make any other material expenditures to meet the requirements of governmental authorities in this area. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded at undiscounted amounts when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Public Liability and Property Damage

The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Pensions

Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations. See Note 4—Employee Retirement Benefits.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the stockholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $217.9 million and $91.6 million, respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and historically have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. We use SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, or "SFAS No. 133," which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value. The effective

117

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, based upon the nature of the hedged item. For derivative instruments that are not part of a qualified hedging relationship, the changes in their fair value are recognized currently in earnings. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Provisions are not made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes.

Sales tax amounts collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis.

Prior to the Acquisition, Hertz and its domestic subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Ford. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, or the "Agreement," with Ford, current and deferred taxes were reported and paid to Ford, as if Hertz had filed its own consolidated tax returns with its domestic subsidiaries. The Agreement provided that Hertz was reimbursed for foreign tax credits in accordance with the utilization of those credits by the Ford consolidated tax group.

On December 21, 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, the Agreement with Ford was terminated. Upon termination, all tax payables and receivables with Ford were cancelled and neither Hertz nor Ford has any future rights or obligations under the Agreement. Hertz may be exposed to tax liabilities attributable to periods it was a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify Hertz for certain tax liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that payments in respect of the indemnification agreement will be available.

See Note 7—Taxes on Income.

Advertising

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

Legal Fees

We accrue for legal fees and other directly related costs of third parties when it is probable that such fees and costs will be incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." See Note 2—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of

118

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amounts of the assets are based upon our estimates of the undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB, revised SFAS No. 123, with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," or "SFAS No. 123R." The revised statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Beginning January 1, 2006, we accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. We have estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected life, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate. See Note 5—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management are required in the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or "GAAP." Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current reporting. Total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been revised to exclude the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans as amended of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" in the amount of $6.4 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," or "SFAS No. 157." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for us for financial instruments beginning in January 2008 and non-financial instruments beginning in January 2009. We are currently reviewing SFAS No. 157 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations. In 2008, we anticipate an impact on only our financial statement disclosures.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," or "SFAS No. 159." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for us beginning in January 2008. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), "Business Combinations," or "SFAS No. 141(R)." The new standard requires the acquiring entity that gains control in a business combination to recognize 100% of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction;

119

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires that acquisition related costs be expensed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for us beginning in January 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51," or "SFAS No. 160." SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of stockholders' equity. Additionally, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests must be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Finally, changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary will be accounted for consistently as equity transactions. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are effective for us beginning in January 2009.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, or "SAB No. 110," which expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of the expected term of "plain vanilla" stock options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R). SAB No. 110 allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the "simplified" method in developing an estimate of the expected term of so-called "plain vanilla" stock options, and we will continue to use such method until such time as there is sufficient historical evidence on which we can base an estimate of the expected term of our stock options.

Note 2—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We account for our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets must be tested for impairment at least annually. We performed an annual review in the second quarter of 2007, consistent with past years, and no impairment was determined to exist. Subsequent to performing our annual impairment review, we changed the date for performing these tests to the fourth quarter based on financial information available through October 1, 2007. We believe this change in accounting principle is preferable because the new date more closely aligns with our annual budgeting process and allows for a better estimation of the future cash flows used in the discounted cash flow model we use to test for impairment. The change in accounting principle has no effect on our consolidated financial statements presented herein. We conducted the impairment review during the fourth quarter of 2007 and no impairment was determined to exist.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005, was $62.6 million, $61.6 million, $2.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Based on our amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2007, we expect amortization expense to range from $61.3 million to $63.6 million for each of the next five fiscal years.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we added 48 locations by acquiring former franchisees in our domestic and international car rental operations. Total cash paid for intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $12.2 million. We recognized $9.9 million in amortizable intangible assets and $2.3 million in indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2007. Each of these transactions has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and operating results of the acquirees from the dates of acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations. These acquisitions are not material individually or collectively to the amounts presented for the year ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, we purchased other indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.4 million, which were not part of any reacquired franchisee.

The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt (in millions of dollars) are as follows: 2008, $3,604.2 (including $2,767.7 of other short-term borrowings); 2009, $1,017.8; 2010, $2,927.8; 2011, $121.0; 2012, $176.2; after 2012, $4,166.6.

Our short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2007 include, among other items, the amounts outstanding under our Senior ABL Facility, International Fleet Debt facility, fleet financing facilities relating to our car rental fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Brazil, Canada, Belgium and our U.K. leveraged financing. These amounts are considered short term in nature since they have maturity dates of three months or less; however these facilities are revolving in nature and do not permanently expire at the time of the short term debt maturity. In addition, we include certain scheduled payments of principal under our ABS Program.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, short-term borrowings (in millions of dollars) were as follows: maximum month-end amounts outstanding of $3,801.8 of bank borrowings; and a monthly average amount outstanding of $2,920.8 of bank borrowings (weighted-average interest rate 6.0%).

During the year ended December 31, 2006, short-term borrowings (in millions of dollars) were as follows: maximum month-end amounts outstanding of $11.1 of commercial paper and $3,077.5 of bank borrowings; and monthly average amounts outstanding of $12.4 of commercial paper (weighted-average interest rate 0.6%) and $2,509.9 of bank borrowings (weighted-average interest rate 5.2%).

As of December 31, 2007, there were standby letters of credit issued totaling $473.2 million. Of this amount, $234.0 million has been issued for the benefit of the ABS Program ($200.0 million of which was issued by Ford and $34.0 million of which relates to the Senior Credit Facilities below) and the remainder is primarily to support self-insurance programs (including insurance policies with respect to which we have indemnified the issuers for any losses) in the United States, Canada and Europe and to support airport concession obligations in the United States and Canada. As of December 31, 2007, the full amount of these letters of credit was undrawn.

Senior Credit Facilities

In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz entered into a credit agreement, dated December 21, 2005, with respect to its Senior Term Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time. The facility consisted of a $2,000.0 million secured term loan facility (which was decreased in February 2007 to $1,400.0 million) providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, which included a delayed draw facility of $293.0 million (which was utilized in 2006). In addition, there is a pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. On the Closing Date, Hertz utilized $1,707.0 million of the Senior Term Facility and $182.2 million in letters of credit. As of December 31, 2007, we had $1,362.7 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility, which is net of a discount of $23.4 million and had issued $242.7 million in letters of credit. The term loan facility and the synthetic letter of credit facility will mature in December 2012. The term loan amortizes in nominal quarterly installments (not exceeding one percent of the aggregate principal amount thereof per annum) until the maturity date. At the borrower's election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Term Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate, or "LIBOR," plus a borrowing margin or (2) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin. In addition, the borrower pays

letter of credit participation fees on the full amount of the synthetic letter of credit facility plus fronting fees for the letter of credit issuing banks and other customary fees in respect of the Senior Term Facility.

Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of Hertz entered into a credit agreement, dated December 21, 2005, with respect to the Senior ABL Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent and the financial institutions party thereto from time to time. This facility provided (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,600.0 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800.0 million) under a revolving loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds sterling. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. On the Closing Date, Hertz borrowed $206 million under this facility and Matthews Equipment Limited, or "Matthews," one of Hertz's Canadian subsidiaries, borrowed CAN$225 million under this facility, in each case to finance a portion of the Transactions. Hertz and Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation are the U.S. borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility and Matthews and its subsidiaries Western Shut-Down (1995) Ltd. and Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership are the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility. At December 31, 2007, net of a discount of $19.1 million, Hertz and Matthews Equipment Limited collectively had $191.8 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility and issued $21.4 million in letters of credit. The Senior ABL Facility will mature in February 2012. At the borrower's election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin or (2) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrower will pay customary commitment and other fees in respect of the Senior ABL Facility.

Hertz's obligations under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz Investors, Inc., its immediate parent and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including for subsidiaries involved in the U.S. Fleet Debt facility and similar special purpose financings), though HERC does not guarantee Hertz's obligations under the Senior ABL Facility because it is a borrower under that facility. In addition, the obligations of the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, if any, subject to limited exceptions. The lenders under each of the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility have received a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective subsidiaries, subject in each case to certain exceptions (including in respect of the U.S. Fleet Debt, the International Fleet Debt and, in the case of the Senior ABL Facility, other secured fleet financing). Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Under the Senior Term Facility, the borrowers are subject to financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain a specified leverage ratio and a specified interest coverage ratio for specified periods (the requirements for both of these ratios vary throughout the term of the Senior Term Facility). Also, under the Senior ABL Facility, if the borrowers fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity, they will then be subject to financial covenants under such facility, including a specified leverage ratio (the ratio varies throughout the term of the Senior ABL Facility) and a specified fixed charges coverage ratio of one to

124

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


one. Failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities would result in a default under the credit agreements governing the Senior Credit Facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2007, Hertz was in compliance with such financial covenants. The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements and provide for customary events of default.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior Term Facility (as amended) permit cash dividends to be paid to Hertz Holdings (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of a specified minimum amount and 1.0% of consolidated tangible assets less certain investments, (ii) in additional amounts at any time, up to a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, 50% of consolidated net income from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available and (iii) in additional amounts at any time, up to a specified amount of certain equity contributions made by Hertz Holdings to Hertz.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior ABL Facility (as amended) permit cash dividends to be paid to Hertz Holdings in an aggregate amount, taken together with certain other investments, acquisitions and optional prepayments, not to exceed $100 million. Hertz may also pay additional cash dividends under the Senior ABL Facility at any time, and in any amount, so long as (a) there is at least $250 million of availability under the facility after giving effect to the proposed dividend, (b) if certain other payments when taken together with the proposed dividend would exceed $50 million in a 30-day period, Hertz can demonstrate projected average availability in the following six-month period of $250 million or more and (c) (i) Hertz is in pro forma compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio set forth in the Senior ABL Facility or (ii) the amount of the proposed dividend does not exceed the sum of (x) 1.0% of consolidated tangible assets plus (y) a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, 50% of consolidated net income from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available plus (z) a specified amount of certain equity contributions made by Hertz Holdings to the borrowers under such facility.

On June 30, 2006, Hertz entered into amendments to each of its Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility. The amendments provide, among other things, for additional capacity under the covenants in these credit facilities to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, to pay cash dividends and make loans to Hertz Holdings that would, among other things, provide Hertz Holdings with cash for the payment of interest on Hertz Holdings' indebtedness (including, but not limited to, the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility) and, in the case of the amendment to the Senior Term Facility, to make investments. The ability of Hertz to pay cash dividends and make loans to Hertz Holdings remains subject to Hertz's meeting specified financial tests, as described above, as well as requirements imposed by applicable Delaware law. The amendment to the Senior Term Facility also permits Hertz to use proceeds of the $293 million Delayed Draw Term Loan to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, in addition to repaying certain other outstanding indebtedness of Hertz. On May 15, 2006, Hertz borrowed approximately $84.9 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and used the proceeds thereof to repay its 6.5% Senior Notes due 2006. Hertz borrowed the remaining portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loan on July 10, 2006, and applied the proceeds thereof to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility.

On February 9, 2007, Hertz entered into an amendment to its Senior Term Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payable on the Senior Term Facility by up to 50 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) eliminating certain mandatory prepayment requirements; (iii) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that Hertz and its subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior Term Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior Term Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Hertz recorded an expense of $14.0 million, in its consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the write-off of debt costs in connection with the amendment of the Senior Term Facility. Additionally, in February 2007, Hertz permanently repaid a portion of the Senior Term Facility, bringing the maximum borrowings thereunder down from $2,000 million to $1,400 million.

On February 15, 2007, Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries entered into an amendment to its Senior ABL Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payable on the Senior ABL Facility by up to 25 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) increasing the availability under the Senior ABL Facility from $1,600 million to $1,800 million; (iii) extending the term of the commitments under the Senior ABL Facility to February 15, 2012; (iv) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that the borrowers and their subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior ABL Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior ABL Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an expense of $2.2 million in our consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the write-off of debt costs in connection with the amendment of the Senior ABL Facility.

On May 23, 2007, the Senior ABL Facility and the Senior Term Facility were each amended to permit Hertz and its subsidiaries to guarantee obligations in respect to the deferred purchase price of vehicles and all other obligations arising under vehicle supply agreements entered into by Fleetco (Espana), S.L., an entity created to own the Spanish rental car fleet in connection with the pending securitization of the rental car fleets in a number of European countries and Australia. Due to Spanish law considerations, Fleetco (Espana), S.L. is an "orphan" entity which is an indirect subsidiary of a charitable trust. The Senior Credit Facilities generally permit Hertz and its subsidiaries to guarantee obligations of one another but not of unaffiliated entities, subject to certain exceptions.

On September 30, 2007, the Senior ABL Facility was amended to add Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership, an Ontario General Partnership, as an additional Canadian Borrower. Hertz Canada Equipment Rental Partnership, whose partners are our wholly-owned subsidiary, Matthews and its wholly-owned subsidiary, was formed in connection with a reorganization of Matthews and, as part of that reorganization, received title to most of the assets of Matthews.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the Acquisition, CCMG Acquisition Corporation issued the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes under separate indentures between CCMG Acquisition Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Hertz and the guarantors entered into supplemental indentures, dated as of the Closing Date, pursuant to which Hertz assumed the obligations of CCMG Acquisition Corporation under the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the respective indentures, and the guarantors issued the related guarantees. CCMG Acquisition Corporation subsequently merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving entity.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of December 31, 2007, $2,131.4 million and $600.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2007, $27.8 million of losses, which is net of tax of $18.3 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." The Senior Notes will mature in January 2014, and the Senior Subordinated Notes will mature in January 2016. The Senior Dollar Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 8.875%, the Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 7.875% and the Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.5%. Hertz's obligations under the indentures are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility.

Both the indenture for the Senior Notes and the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries, described in the respective indentures, to incur more debt, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with Hertz's affiliates. The indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains subordination provisions and limitations on the types of senior subordinated debt that may be incurred. The indentures also contain certain mandatory and optional prepayment or redemption provisions and provide for customary events of default.

The restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes permit Hertz to make loans, advances, dividends or distributions to Hertz Holdings in an amount determined by reference to consolidated net income for the period from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available, so long as Hertz's consolidated coverage ratio remains greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payments. Hertz is also permitted to make restricted payments to Hertz Holdings in an amount not exceeding the greater of a specified minimum amount and 1% of consolidated tangible assets (which payments are deducted in determining the amount available as described in the preceding sentence), and in an amount equal to certain equity contributions to Hertz. Hertz is also permitted to make restricted payments to its parent company in an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by Hertz through a contribution to equity capital from such offering to enable the public parent company to pay dividends to its stockholders.

On January 12, 2007, Hertz completed exchange offers for its outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes whereby over 99% of the outstanding notes were exchanged for a like principal amount of new notes with identical terms that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4.

Fleet Financing

U.S. Fleet Debt.    In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or "HVF," a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by Hertz, entered into an amended and restated base indenture, dated as of December 21, 2005, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee, or the "ABS Indenture," and a number of related supplements to the ABS Indenture, each dated as of December 21, 2005, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee and securities intermediary, or, collectively, the "ABS Supplement." On the Closing Date, HVF, as issuer, issued approximately $4,300 million of new medium term asset-backed notes consisting of 11 classes of notes in two series under the ABS Supplement, the net proceeds of which were used to finance the purchase of vehicles from related entities and the repayment or cancellation of existing debt. HVF also issued approximately $1,500 million of variable funding notes in two series, none of which were funded at closing. As of December 31, 2007, $4,299.9 million (net of a $0.1 million discount) were outstanding in the form of these medium term notes.

Each class of notes has an expected final payment date approximately three, four or five years from the Closing Date. The variable funding notes will be funded through the bank multi seller commercial paper market. The assets of HVF, including the U.S. car rental fleet owned by HVF and certain related assets, collateralize the U.S. Fleet Debt and Pre-Acquisition ABS Notes. Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The various series of U.S. Fleet Debt have either fixed or floating rates of interest. The interest rate per annum applicable to any floating rate notes (other than any variable funding asset-backed debt) is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to one-month LIBOR plus a spread, although HVF intends to maintain hedging transactions so that it will not be required to pay a rate in excess of 4.87% per annum in order to receive the LIBOR amounts due from time to time on such floating rate notes. The interest rate per annum applicable to any variable funding asset-backed debt is either the blended average commercial paper rate, if funded through the commercial paper market, or if commercial paper is not being issued, the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate, or if requisite notice is provided, the Eurodollar rate plus a spread.

On October 24, 2007, supplements to the ABS Indenture were amended to increase the maximum non-eligible vehicle amount from 65% to 85% of the adjusted aggregate asset amount, thus effectively increasing the amount of vehicles which are not subject to manufacturer repurchase programs that can be included in the borrowing base under the ABS Program.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF entered into certain interest rate swap agreements, or the "HVF Swaps," effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 2010. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

The U.S. Fleet Debt issued on the closing date of the Acquisition has the benefit of financial guaranty insurance policies under which either MBIA Insurance Corporation or Ambac Assurance Corporation will guarantee the timely payment of interest on and ultimate payment of principal of such notes.

In connection with the entrance into the HVF swaps, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the "differential swaps." These differential swaps were required to be put in place

128

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


to protect the counterparties to the HVF swaps in the event of an "amortization event" under the asset-backed notes agreements. In the event of an amortization event, the amount by which the principal balance on the floating rate portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt is reduced, exclusive of the originally scheduled amortization, becomes the notional amount of the differential swaps, and is transferred to Hertz. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

HVF is subject to numerous restrictive covenants under the ABS Indenture and the other agreements governing the U.S. Fleet Debt, including restrictive covenants with respect to liens, indebtedness, benefit plans, mergers, disposition of assets, acquisition of assets, dividends, officers' compensation, investments, agreements, the types of business it may conduct and other customary covenants for a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. The U.S. Fleet Debt is subject to events of default and amortization events that are customary in nature for U.S. rental car asset-backed securitizations of this type. The occurrence of an amortization event or event of default could result in the acceleration of principal of the notes and a liquidation of the U.S. car rental fleet.

International Fleet Debt.    In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz International, Ltd., or "HIL," a Delaware corporation organized as a foreign subsidiary holding company and a direct subsidiary of Hertz, and certain of its subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States), together with certain bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (whether organized as HIL's subsidiaries or as non-affiliated "orphan" companies), or "SPEs," entered into revolving bridge loan facilities providing commitments to lend, in various currencies an aggregate amount equivalent to approximately $2,768.9 million (calculated as of December 31, 2007), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of HIL's subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or one or more SPEs, as the case may be, and rental equipment and related assets of certain of HIL's subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more SPEs, as the case may be. As of the closing date of the Acquisition, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,781 million of indebtedness under the International Fleet Debt facilities was issued and outstanding under these facilities. At closing, Hertz utilized the proceeds from these financings to finance a portion of the Transactions. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,881.6 million in borrowings was outstanding under these facilities, net of a $0.3 million discount. These facilities are referred to collectively as the "International Fleet Debt facilities."

The International Fleet Debt facilities consist of four revolving loan tranches (Tranches A1, A2, B and C), each subject to borrowing bases comprising the revenue earning equipment and related assets of each applicable borrower or the corresponding fleet owned entity. A portion of the Tranche C loan is available for the issuance of letters of credit.

The obligations of the borrowers under the International Fleet Debt facilities are guaranteed by HIL, and by the other borrowers and certain related entities under the applicable tranche, in each case subject to certain legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations. The obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans are subordinated to the obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of such borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans. Subject to legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations and to certain exceptions, the International Fleet Debt facilities are secured by a material part of the assets of each borrower, certain related entities and each guarantor, including pledges of the capital stock of each borrower and certain related entities. The obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans and the guarantees thereof are secured on a junior second priority basis by any assets securing the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans and the guarantees thereof. That guarantee is secured equally

129

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


and ratably with borrowings under the Senior Term Facility. The assets that collateralize the International Fleet Debt facilities will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz's general creditors.

The facilities under each of the tranches mature five years from the Closing Date of the Acquisition. Subject to certain exceptions, the loans are subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction in commitment amounts equal to the net proceeds of specified types of take-out financing transactions and asset sales.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the International Fleet Debt facilities are based on fluctuating rates of interest measured by reference to one-month LIBOR, EURIBOR or their equivalents for local currencies as appropriate (in the case of the Tranche A1 and A2 loans); relevant local currency base rates (in the case of Tranche B loans); or one-month EURIBOR (in the case of the Tranche C loans), in each case plus a borrowing margin. In addition, the borrowers under each of Tranche A1, Tranche A2, Tranche B and Tranche C of the International Fleet Debt facilities will pay fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the applicable tranche, and other customary fees and expenses in respect of such facilities, and the Tranche A1 and A2 borrowing margins are subject to increase if HIL does not repay borrowings thereunder within specified periods of time and upon the occurrence of other specified events.

The International Fleet Debt facilities contain a number of covenants (including, without limitation, covenants customary for transactions similar to the International Fleet Debt facilities) that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of our subsidiary, HIL, the borrowers and the other subsidiaries of HIL to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, make negative pledges, change the nature of their business or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, HIL is restricted from making dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness) in an amount greater than €100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until such time as 50% of the commitments under the International Fleet Debt facilities as of the closing date of the Acquisition have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of cumulative excess cash flow based on the percentage of the International Fleet Debt facilities that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. As a result of the contractual restrictions on HIL's ability to pay dividends to Hertz as of December 31, 2007, the restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.

The subsidiaries conducting the car rental business in certain European jurisdictions may, at their option, continue to engage in capital lease financings relating to revenue earning equipment outside the International Fleet Debt facilities. As of December 31, 2007, there were $30.8 million of capital lease financings outstanding. These capital lease financings are included in the International Fleet Debt total.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for €3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions gave HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed twice in 2007, prior to their scheduled expiration dates of March 15, 2007 and September 5, 2007, at a total cost of €2.7 million, and now expire on June 5, 2008. See Note 13—Financial Instruments.

The Amendment Agreement, which became effective on December 21, 2007, was entered into for the purpose of (i) amending certain terms affecting the margins on the revolving bridge loan facilities established by the SBFA, and (ii) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the terms of the facilities. Additionally, the intercreditor deed pertaining to the International Fleet Debt facilities was amended to, among other things, remove the Brazilian facility.

Fleet Financing Facility.    On September 29, 2006, Hertz and Puerto Ricancars, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz, or "PR Cars," entered into a credit agreement to finance the acquisition of Hertz's and/or PR Cars' fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, dated as of September 29, 2006, or the "Fleet Financing Facility," with the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, Gelco Corporation d.b.a. GE Fleet Services, or the "Fleet Financing Agent," as administrative agent, as collateral agent for collateral owned by Hertz and as collateral agent for collateral owned by PR Cars. Affiliates of Merrill Lynch & Co. are lenders under the Fleet Financing Facility.

The Fleet Financing Facility provides (subject to availability under a borrowing base) a revolving credit facility of up to $275 million to Hertz and PR Cars. On September 29, 2006, Hertz borrowed $124 million under this facility to refinance other debt. As of December 31, 2007, Hertz and PR Cars had $150.4 million (net of a $1.6 million discount) and $20.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under this facility. The borrowing base formula is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and (in certain other instances) at the permitted discretion of the Fleet Financing Agent.

The Fleet Financing Facility will mature in December 2011 but Hertz and PR Cars may terminate or reduce the commitments of the lenders thereunder at any time. The Fleet Financing Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amount by which outstanding extensions of credit to Hertz or PR Cars exceed the lesser of the Hertz or PR Cars borrowing base, as applicable, and the commitments then in effect.

The obligations of each of the borrowers under the Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by each of Hertz's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries whose only material assets consist of securities and debt of foreign subsidiaries and related assets, subsidiaries involved in the ABS Program or other similar special purpose financings, subsidiaries with minority ownership positions, certain subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of PR Cars are guaranteed by Hertz. The obligations of Hertz under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents, including, without limitation, its guarantee of PR Cars' obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility, are secured by security interests in Hertz's rental car fleet in Hawaii and by certain assets related to Hertz's rental car fleet in Hawaii and Kansas, including, without limitation, manufacturer repurchase program agreements. PR Cars' obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents are secured by security interests in PR Cars' rental car fleet in Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and by certain assets related thereto.

At the applicable borrower's election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Fleet Financing Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) LIBOR plus a borrowing margin of 125 basis points or (2) an alternate base rate of the prime rate plus

a borrowing margin of 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2007, the average interest rate was 6.3% (LIBOR based).

The Fleet Financing Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to create liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers, enter into agreements which restrict liens on the Fleet Financing Facility collateral or Hertz's rental car fleet in Kansas or change the nature of their business.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain of the documents relating to the Fleet Financing Facility were amended to make certain technical and administrative changes.

Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility.    On April 4, 2007, our Brazilian subsidiary, Car Rental Systems Do Brasil Locacao De Veiculos Ltda., or "Hertz Brazil," entered into an agreement amending and restating its credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility to R$130 million (or $73.2 million), consisting of an R$70 million (or $39.4 million) term loan facility and an R$60 million (or $33.8 million) revolving credit facility (the "Brazilian Fleet Financing Facility"). The borrowing margin was reduced from 300 basis points over CDI (Brazil's interbank deposit rate) to 225 basis points over CDI. The amendment also increased the borrowing base advance rate from 80% to 85% of the value of the fleet. The credit facility is secured by Hertz Brazil's fleet of vehicles and backed by a $63.5 million Hertz guarantee. This facility will mature in December 2010. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $62.9 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

Canadian Fleet Financing Facility.    On May 30, 2007, our indirect subsidiary, Hertz Canada Limited, and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with CARE Trust, a third-party special purpose commercial paper conduit administered by Bank of Montreal, or "CARE Trust," which acts as conduit for the asset-backed borrowing facility, and certain related agreements and transactions, in order to establish an asset-backed borrowing facility to provide financing for our Canadian rental car fleet (the "Canadian Fleet Financing Facility"). The new facility refinanced the Canadian portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. The maximum amount which may be borrowed under the new facility is CAN$400 million (or $392.1 million). This facility matures in May 2012. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $155.4 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

On December 24, 2007, Hertz Canada Limited, an indirect subsidiary of Hertz, and certain subsidiaries of Hertz Canada Limited, entered into a waiver and agreement with CARE Trust (the "waiver and agreement"). The waiver and agreement allows the borrowers to designate certain vehicles as "unfunded risk vehicles" during a waiver period, which began on December 24, 2007 and will end on March 31, 2008. During the waiver period, vehicles designated as unfunded risk vehicles are excluded from the calculation of the borrowing base and are also excluded for purposes of determining whether certain covenants regarding the composition of the vehicle pool are satisfied.

Belgian Fleet Financing Facility.    On June 21, 2007, our Belgian subsidiary, Hertz Belgium BVBA, entered into a secured revolving credit facility with varying facility limits of up to €27.4 million (or $40.4 million) maturing in December 2010 (the "Belgian Fleet Financing Facility"). The new facility refinanced the Belgian portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. This facility is guaranteed by HIL and the fleet assets used in the Belgian operations are pledged as collateral for this debt. Interest is charged at a spread over the Euribor. This facility contains a number of covenants typical for this type of facility, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, creation of liens, engaging in mergers and change of business. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $30.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

U.K. Leveraged Financing.    On December 21, 2007, our subsidiary in the United Kingdom, or the "U.K.," Hertz (U.K.) Limited, entered into an agreement for a sale and lease back facility with a financial institution in the U.K., under which we may sell and leaseback fleet up to the value of £135.0 million (or $271.2 million). The amount available under this facility increases over the term of the facility. The facility is scheduled to mature in December 2013. This facility refinanced the U.K. portion of the International Fleet Debt facilities. This facility is guaranteed by HIL and pricing is based on current LIBOR. This facility contains covenants typical for this type of facility including restrictions on engaging in mergers and change of business, and includes requirements to meet on a quarterly basis certain ratios measuring utilization, interest coverage and net worth. As of December 31, 2007, the foreign currency equivalent of $222.7 million in borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

Pre-Acquisition Debt

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $509.4 million (net of a $5.1 million discount) outstanding in pre-Acquisition promissory notes issued under three separate indentures at an average interest rate of 7.1%. These pre-Acquisition promissory notes have maturities ranging from 2008 to 2028.

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately €7.6 million (or $10.0 million) outstanding in pre-Acquisition Euro Medium Term Notes, in connection with which we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006 and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap was to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro Medium Term Notes. On June 30, 2007, the remaining notes outstanding and related interest rate swap agreements pursuant to the Euro Medium Term Note Program were repaid in full and expired, respectively.

We also had outstanding as of December 31, 2007 approximately $303.6 million in borrowings, net of a $3.9 million discount, consisting of pre-Acquisition ABS Notes with an average interest rate of 3.1%. These pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have maturities ranging from 2008 to 2009. See "U.S. Fleet Debt" for a discussion of the collateralization of the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes.

Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2007, the following credit facilities were available for the use of Hertz and its subsidiaries:

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of December 31, 2007, substantially all of our assets were pledged under one or more of the facilities noted above. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, accrued interest was $138.3 million and $149.1 million, respectively, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities."

Note 4—Employee Retirement Benefits

Qualified U.S. employees, after completion of specified periods of service, are eligible to participate in The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan, or the "Hertz Retirement Plan," a cash balance plan. Under this qualified Hertz Retirement Plan, we pay the entire cost and employees are not required to contribute.

Most of our foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans or participate in various insured or multiemployer plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans. We participate in various multiemployer pension plans administered by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. Contributions to U.S. multiemployer plans were $7.5 million, $7.7 million and $7.2 million for years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Company plans are generally funded, except for certain nonqualified U.S. defined benefit plans and in Germany, where unfunded liabilities are recorded.

We sponsor defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. We match contributions of participating employees on the basis specified in the plans.

We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants' contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. We also have a key officer postretirement car benefit plan that provides the use of a vehicle for retired Senior Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retired at age 58 or above.

We use a December 31 measurement date for all our plans.

The following tables set forth the funded status and the net periodic pension cost of the Hertz Retirement Plan, other postretirement benefit plans (including health care and life insurance plans covering

The discount rate used to determine the December 31, 2007 benefit obligations for U.S. pension plans is based on an average of three indices of high quality corporate bonds whose duration closely matches that of our plans. The rates on these bond indices are adjusted to reflect callable issues. For our plans outside the U.S., the discount rate reflects the market rates for high-quality corporate bonds currently available. The discount rate in a country was determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches our plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We have a long-term investment outlook for the assets held in our Company sponsored plans, which is consistent with the long-term nature of each plan's respective liabilities. We have two major plans which reside in the U.S. and the U.K.

The U.S. Plan, or the "Plan," currently has a target asset allocation of 70% equity and 30% fixed income. The equity portion of the Plan is invested in one passively managed S&P 500 index fund, one passively managed U.S. small/midcap fund and one actively managed international portfolio. The fixed income portion of the Plan is actively managed by a professional investment manager and is benchmarked to the Lehman Long Govt/Credit Index. The Plan assumes an 8.50% rate of return on assets, which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return for the Plan in total. The annualized long-term performance of the Plan has generally been in excess of the long-term rate of return assumptions.

The U.K. Plan currently invests in a professionally managed Balanced Consensus Index Fund, which has the investment objective of achieving a total return relatively equal to its benchmark. The benchmark is based upon the average asset weightings of a broad universe of U.K. pension funds invested in pooled investment vehicles and each of their relevant indices. The asset allocation as of December 31, 2007, was 85.0% equity and 15.0% fixed income. The U.K. Plan currently assumes a rate of return on assets of 7.5%, which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return.

Contributions

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. In 2007 and 2006, we made no discretionary cash contributions to our U.S. pension plan. In 2008, we expect to contribute, at a minimum, approximately $21.2 million to our worldwide pension plans, including contributions required by funding regulations, discretionary contributions and benefit payments for unfunded plans.

Note 5—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan

On February 15, 2006, the Boards of Directors of Hertz and Hertz Holdings jointly approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Stock Incentive Plan." The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the sale of Hertz Holdings common stock to our executive officers, other key employees and directors as well as the grant of stock options to purchase shares of Hertz Holdings common stock to those individuals. The Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings, or a committee designated by it, selects the officers, employees and directors eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan and either the Board

139

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


or the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings may determine the specific number of shares to be offered or options to be granted to an individual employee or director. A maximum of 25 million shares are reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan. We currently intend to satisfy any need for shares of our common stock associated with the exercise of options issued under the Stock Incentive Plan through those new shares reserved for issuance, not through the use of Treasury shares or open market purchases of shares. The Stock Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders of Hertz Holdings on March 8, 2006.

All option grants will be non-qualified options with a per-share exercise price no less than fair market value of one share of Hertz Holdings stock on the grant date. Any stock options granted will generally have a term of ten years, and unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings, will vest in five equal annual installments. The options granted in 2006 vest over five years; the options granted in 2007 vest over three years, except for the grants to Mark P. Frissora, our Chief Executive Officer, and certain key executives, which vest over four years. The options granted to the outside Directors vest immediately. The Board or Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of an option at any time. In addition, vesting of options will be accelerated if Hertz Holdings experiences a change in control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) unless options with substantially equivalent terms and economic value are substituted for existing options in place of accelerated vesting. Vesting of options will also be accelerated in the event of an employee's death or disability (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan). Upon a termination for cause (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), all options held by an employee are immediately cancelled. Following a termination without cause, vested options will generally remain exercisable through the earliest of the expiration of their term or 60 days following termination of employment (180 days in the case of death, disability or retirement at normal retirement age).

Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the Stock Incentive Plan will remain in effect until February 15, 2016.

We are in the process of obtaining shareholder approval for an Omnibus long-term incentive plan providing for grants of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units. See Note 16—Subsequent Events.

In May 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 1,029,007 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to key executives, employees and non-management directors at exercise prices ranging from $20.55 to $21.87. In August 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 510,000 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to certain executives, including an award to Mr. Frissora at exercise prices ranging from $22.61 to $23.06. In November 2007, Hertz Holdings granted options to acquire 232,000 shares of Hertz Holdings' common stock to certain executives at exercise prices ranging from $17.14 to $21.22. These options are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan and the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Director Stock Incentive Plan, or the "Director Plan." See Note 14—Related Party Transactions—"Director Stock Incentive Plan."

We have accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The options are being accounted for as equity-classified awards. We will recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the stock of Hertz Holdings became publicly traded in November 2006 and has a short trading history, it is not practicable for us to estimate the expected volatility of our share price, or a peer company share price, because there is not sufficient historical

140

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


information about past volatility. Therefore, we have used the calculated value method, substituting the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings' common stock price as an assumption in the valuation model. We selected the Dow Jones Specialized Consumer Services sub-sector within the consumer services industry, and we used the U.S. large capitalization component, which includes the top 70% of the index universe (by market value).

The calculation of the historical volatility of the index was made using the daily historical closing values of the index for the preceding 6.5 years, because that is the expected term of the options using the simplified approach allowed under SAB No. 107.

The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity approximately equal to the expected term, as of the grant dates. The assumed dividend yield is zero. We assume that each year 1% of the options that are outstanding but not vested will be forfeited because of employee attrition.

As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $85.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted by Hertz Holdings under the Stock Incentive Plan, including costs related to modifying the exercise prices of certain option grants in order to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law, to reflect special cash dividends of $4.32 per share paid on June 30, 2006 and $1.12 per share paid on November 21, 2006. These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over the remaining 2.1 years, on a weighted average basis, of the requisite service period that began on the grant dates. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized compensation cost of $13.8 million ($8.3 million, net of tax).

The adjustment of depreciation upon disposal of revenue earning equipment for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 included (in millions of dollars) net gains of $0.6, $16.3, $1.3 and $41.8, respectively, on the disposal of industrial and construction equipment used in our equipment rental operations, and a net loss of $21.8 and net gains of $19.6, $0.8 and $26.5, respectively, on the disposal of vehicles used in our car rental operations.

Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During 2007 and 2006, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These

142

depreciation rate changes resulted in net increases of $13.7 million and $5.3 million in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, depreciation rates in certain of our equipment rental operations were decreased and resulted in net decreases of $13.1 million and $18.4 million in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 163,400 and 101,000 non-program cars, respectively, a 61.8% increase.

As of December 31, 2007, deferred tax assets of $316.6 million related to U.S. Federal Net Operating Loss, or "NOL," carryforwards of $904.7 million were recorded. The total Federal NOL carryforwards are $912.9 million which include $8.2 million of excess tax deductions associated with our stock option plans which have yet to reduce taxes payable. The Federal NOLs begin to expire in 2025. Our state NOLs associated with the Federal NOL exclusive of the effects of the excess tax deductions, have generated a deferred tax asset of $91.9 million. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2010.

As of December 31, 2007, deferred tax assets of $82.3 million related to foreign NOL carryforwards were recorded. Most of our foreign NOLs have an indefinite carryforward period; $44.0 million of the $316.2 million of foreign NOLs begin to expire in 2016. The NOLs subject to expiration have a deferred tax asset of $12.6 million. A valuation allowance of $56.2 million at December 31, 2007 was recorded against a portion of the foreign NOL deferred tax assets as those deferred tax assets relate to jurisdictions that have historical losses. The valuation allowance relates to the likelihood that a portion of the NOL carryforwards may not be utilized in the future.

Approximately, $8.2 million of the NOL carryforwards are associated with excess tax deductions resulting from our stock option plans. Upon the utilization of these carryforwards, the associated tax benefits of approximately $3.2 million will be recorded to Additional Paid-in Capital.

As of December 31, 2007, we have recorded deferred tax assets for U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carryforwards of $21.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2015 and various state tax credit carryforwards of $5.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2027.

As of December 31, 2007, we have recorded valuation allowances of $69.9 million against our deferred tax assets. Approximately $49.8 million of these valuation allowances, if and when released, will be credited to goodwill.

During 2006, a third party was engaged to perform a comprehensive analysis of deferred taxes. The deferred tax analysis resulted in a $159.4 million decrease to our deferred tax liability and a

144

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

$156.3 million decrease to goodwill. We determined that these adjustments were not material to the 2006 or previously issued consolidated financial statements. In addition, further refinements in this analysis and other processes were made during 2007 and resulted in an additional $41.7 million decrease to the deferred tax liability and a $41.9 million decrease to goodwill. We have determined that the adjustments recorded in 2007 were not material to our current or previously issued consolidated financial statements.

The American Jobs Creation Act, or "the Act," was enacted in October 2004. The Act contained a provision allowing a one-time favorable tax benefit in 2005 related to the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. During 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, $547.8 million of foreign earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries of Hertz were repatriated to the U.S. The repatriation generated $168.2 million of tax expense, of which $136.9 million was mitigated by foreign tax credits, resulting in a net tax expense of $31.3 million.

The significant items in the reconciliation of the statutory and effective income tax rates consisted of the following:

  Effective Tax Rate   26.5 % 33.9 % 36.9 %     33.3 %
   
 
 
     
 

The reduction in the 2007 effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a net reduction in the global valuation allowance mainly attributable to France and a reduction to the net deferred tax liability attributable to decreases in statutory income tax rates in various jurisdictions.

As of December 31, 2007, approximately $181.3 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries existed for which U.S. deferred taxes have not been recorded because it is management's current intention to permanently reinvest these undistributed earnings offshore and it is not practicable to determine such deferred tax liability. If, in the future these earnings are repatriated to the United States, or it is determined such earnings will be repatriated in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions will be recorded.

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," or "FIN 48," on January 1, 2007. Upon adoption, we recorded an $18.9 million increase to our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The increase in liabilities was recorded as a decrease of $3.6 million and an increase of $15.3 million to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings and goodwill balances, respectively.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of the adoption date, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of $20.3 million. As of December 31, 2007, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of $35.5 million, of which $8.2 million, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods. The $27.3 million remaining balance of our unrecognized tax benefits relates to pre-Acquisition items of $19.0 million and temporary difference items of $8.3 million. To the extent that these items reverse, in the future, the pre-Acquisition items will affect goodwill and the temporary items will affect current and deferred income tax expense in continuing operations but will not have any effective rate impact.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

 
   2007
  
Balance at January 1, 2007   $ 20,281  
Increase attributable to tax positions taken during prior periods     6,465  
Increase attributable to tax positions taken during the current year     9,496  
Decrease attributable to settlements with taxing authorities     (693 )
   
 
Balance at December 31, 2007   $ 35,549  
   
 

We conduct business globally and, as a result, file one or more income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The open tax years for these jurisdictions span from 1997 to 2007. A tax indemnification agreement entered into with Ford on the Closing Date indemnifies Hertz from U.S. federal and unitary state, and certain combined non-U.S. income tax liabilities for all periods prior to December 21, 2005.

In many cases our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. We are not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service but are under audit in several non-U.S. jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that approximately $19.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits may reverse within the next twelve months due to their settlement with the relevant taxing authorities and/or the filing of amended income tax returns.

Net, after-tax interest and penalties related to the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of "Provision for taxes on income" in our consolidated statement of operations. During 2007, we recognized approximately $2.2 million in net, after-tax interest and penalties. We had approximately $12.0 million of net, after-tax interest and penalties accrued in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007.

Many of our concession agreements and real estate leases require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses, such as common area charges and real estate taxes, to pay concession fees above guaranteed minimums or additional rent based on a percentage of revenues or sales (as defined in those agreements) arising at the relevant premises, or both. Such obligations are not reflected in the table of minimum future obligations appearing immediately above.

Note 9—Segment Information

We follow SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The statement requires companies to disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance.

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental of cars and light trucks, or "car rental"; and rental of industrial, construction and material handling equipment, or "equipment rental." "Corporate and other" includes general corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including, in Successor periods, net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as our third party claim management services.

On January 1, 2007, we changed our measure of segment profitability from income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) as this measure is now being utilized by management in making decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. We believe this measure better reflects the financial results from ongoing operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest plus non-cash purchase accounting charges, non-cash debt charges relating to the amortization of debt financing costs and debt discounts and mark to market of our HVF swaps, unrealized transaction gains (losses) on our Euro-denominated debt (through September 30, 2006) and certain one-time charges and non-operational items. The contribution of our segments for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 are summarized below (in millions of dollars).

Legal Proceedings

Fuel—Related Class Actions

We are or have been a defendant in four purported class actions—filed in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Nevada—in which the plaintiffs have put forth alternate theories to challenge the application of our Fuel and Service Charge, or "FSC," on rentals of cars that are returned with less fuel than when rented. The actions in Texas and Oklahoma remain pending, but the actions in New Mexico and Nevada were dismissed in 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We believe that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and will defend ourselves vigorously.

In addition, we are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. In the aggregate, we can be expected to expend material sums to defend and settle public liability and property damage actions and claims or to pay judgments resulting from them.

On February 19, 2007, The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this action, we and our co-plaintiff seek damages and injunctive relief based upon allegations that Enterprise and its corporate parent, The Crawford Group, Inc., unlawfully engaged in anticompetitive and unfair and deceptive business practices by claiming to customers of Hertz that once Enterprise obtains a patent that it has applied for relating to its insurance replacement reservation system, Hertz will be prevented from using the co-plaintiff's EDiCAR system, which Hertz currently uses in its insurance replacement business. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Enterprise's threats are improper because the Enterprise patent, once issued, should be invalid and unenforceable. In April 2007, Enterprise and Crawford filed a motion to dismiss and Hertz and TSD filed opposition papers in May 2007. After a hearing on Enterprise's motion in September 2007, Hertz and TSD filed an amended complaint in October 2007.

On September 25, 2007, we filed a second lawsuit, also captioned The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this second lawsuit—the patent action—we seek a declaratory judgment that a newly issued patent to The Crawford Group, Inc. is not infringed by Hertz and is invalid and unenforceable. In October 2007, we filed a motion to consolidate the antitrust action and the patent action and, in November 2007, the court granted our motion to consolidate the two actions. Enterprise and Crawford filed a motion to dismiss the patent action in December 2007 and Hertz and TSD filed opposition papers in January 2008. See "Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors—Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations" included elsewhere in this Report.

In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but it could be material in the period in which it is recorded.

Guarantees

At December 31, 2007, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding.

156

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnifications for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors.

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities" were $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the site. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Note 12—Restructuring

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations, initiating business process reengineering and evaluating outsourcing opportunities. When we make adjustments to our workforce and operations, we may incur incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increasing our operating efficiency and reducing the costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

On January 5, 2007, we announced the first in a series of initiatives to further improve our competitiveness through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 200 employees primarily at our corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey and our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

On February 28, 2007, we announced the second initiative to further improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 1,350 employees primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in our U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.

On June 1, 2007, we announced the third initiative to further improve our operational efficiency through targeted reductions affecting approximately 480 positions in our U.S. car and equipment rental operations, as well as financial and reservations-related jobs in our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

During 2007, we began to implement cost reducing initiatives in our European operations, and we expect to continue implementation of these measures in 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we finalized or substantially completed contract terms with industry leading service providers to outsource select functions relating to real estate facilities management and construction, procurement and information technology. Substantially all of the selected functions in these areas will be transitioned to the third-party service providers which will result in a decrease in headcount by the end of the third quarter of 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, our consolidated statement of operations includes restructuring charges relating to the initiatives discussed above of $96.4 million, which is composed of $65.2 million of involuntary termination benefits, $21.7 million in consulting costs, a net gain of $0.4 million related to pension and post employment benefits and other charges of $9.9 million. The after-tax effect of the restructuring charges reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.22 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We plan to announce, as plans are finalized, other efficiency initiatives during 2008. We currently anticipate incurring future charges to earnings in connection with those initiatives; however, we have not yet developed detailed estimates of these expenses.

Note 13—Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash equivalents, short term investments and trade receivables. We place our cash equivalents and short term investments with a number of financial institutions and investment funds to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base, and their dispersion across different businesses and geographic areas. As of December 31, 2007, we had no significant concentration of credit risk.

Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Fair value approximates cost indicated on the balance sheet at December 31, 2007 because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Debt

For borrowings with an initial maturity of 93 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2007 approximated $11.7 billion, compared to its aggregate carrying value of $12.0 billion. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2006 approximated $12.5 billion, compared to its aggregate carrying value of $12.4 billion.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize certain derivative instruments to enhance our ability to manage risk relating to cash flow and interest rate exposure. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures. We document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF entered into certain interest rate swap agreements, or the "HVF Swaps," effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 2010. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. HVF paid $44.8 million to reduce the fixed interest rate on the swaps from the prevailing market rates to 4.5%. Ultimately, this amount will be recognized as additional interest expense over the remaining terms of the swaps, which range from approximately 1 to 3 years. For year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an expense of $20.4 million in our consolidated statement of operations, in "Interest, net of interest income," associated with the ineffectiveness of our HVF Swaps. The ineffectiveness resulted from a decline in the value of the swaps due to a decrease in forward interest rates along with a decrease in the time value component as we continue to approach the maturity dates of the swaps. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the swaps is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income." As of December 31, 2007 and

161

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2006, the balance reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income," net of tax, was a loss of $45.6 million, and a gain of $3.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the HVF Swaps was an asset of $50.6 million, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of our HVF Swaps was a liability of $50.2 million, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Other accrued liabilities."

In connection with the entrance into the HVF swaps, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the "differential swaps." These differential swaps were required to be put in place to protect the counterparties to the HVF swaps in the event of an "amortization event" under the asset-backed notes agreements. In the event of an amortization event, the amount by which the principal balance on the floating rate portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt is reduced, exclusive of the originally scheduled amortization, becomes the notional amount of the differential swaps, and is transferred to Hertz. There was no payment associated with these differential swaps and their notional amounts are and will continue to be zero unless 1) there is an amortization event, which causes the amortization of the loan balance, or 2) the debt is prepaid.

An event of bankruptcy (as defined in the indentures governing the U.S. Fleet Debt) with respect to MBIA or Ambac would constitute an amortization event under the portion of the U.S. Fleet Debt facilities guaranteed by the affected insurer. In that event we would also be required to apply a proportional amount, or substantially all in the case of insolvency of both insurers, of all rental payments by Hertz to its special purpose leasing subsidiary and all car disposal proceeds under the applicable facility, or under substantially all U.S. Fleet Debt facilities in the case of insolvency of both insurers, to pay down the amounts owed under the facility or facilities instead of applying those proceeds to purchase additional cars and/or for working capital purposes. An insurer event of bankruptcy could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity if we were unable to negotiate mutually acceptable new terms with our U.S. Fleet Debt lenders or if alternate funding were not available to us.

In connection with our Euro Medium Term Notes that were not tendered to us in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006, maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro Medium Term Notes. As the critical terms of the swap and remaining portion of the Euro Medium Term Notes match, the swap qualified for cash flow hedge accounting and the shortcut method of assessing effectiveness, in accordance with SFAS 133. Therefore, the fair value of the swap was carried on the balance sheet, with offsetting gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income. On June 30, 2007, the remaining notes outstanding and related interest rate swap agreements pursuant to the Euro Medium Term Note Program were repaid in full and expired, respectively.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for €3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions gave HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of €600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed twice in 2007, prior to their scheduled expiration dates of March 15, 2007 and September 5, 2007, at a total cost of €2.7 million, and now expire on June 5, 2008. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair value of the swaptions was €6.2 million (or $9.2 million) and €1.3 million (or $1.7 million), respectively, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in "Prepaid expenses and other assets." During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the fair value adjustment related to these swaptions was a gain of $3.9 million and a loss of $2.5 million, respectively, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses.

Foreign Currency Risk

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to foreign exchange option contracts are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option's counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 were approximately $0.3 million and we limit counterparties to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings. At December 31, 2007, the total notional amount of these foreign exchange options was $8.0 million, maturing at various dates in 2008 and 2009, and the fair value of all outstanding foreign exchange options, was approximately $0.1 million. The fair value of the foreign currency options were estimated using market prices provided by financial institutions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these options are included in our results of operations. The total notional amount included options to sell Euro, Canadian dollars and yen in the amounts of $4.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans. The forward rate is reflected in the intercompany loan rate to the subsidiaries, and as a result, the forward contracts have no material impact on our results of operations. At December 31, 2007, the total notional amount of these forwards was $230.2 million, maturing within one to four months. The total notional amount includes forwards translated into U.S. dollar equivalent amounts as follows (in millions of dollars):

 
   Buy
Sell
   Canadian
Dollar
   New Zealand
Dollar
   Australian
Dollar
Euro   $ 205.1     —     —
Australian Dollar     —   $ 13.8     —
U.S. Dollar     —     —   $ 11.3

In connection with the Transactions, we issued €225 million of Senior Euro Notes. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million, resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2007, $27.8 million of losses, which are net of tax of $18.3 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in "Accumulated other comprehensive income."

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

Relationship with Ford

Prior to the Acquisition, we were an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford. We and certain of our subsidiaries had entered into contracts, or other transactions or relationships, with Ford or subsidiaries of Ford, the most significant of which are described below.

Car purchases/repurchases and advertising arrangements

Over the three years ended December 31, 2007, on a weighted average basis, approximately 35% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 30% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately 24% of the cars we acquired domestically were manufactured by Ford and subsidiaries and approximately 25% of the cars we acquired for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries.

On July 5, 2005, Hertz, one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Ford signed a Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, effective July 5, 2005 and expiring August 31, 2010, that covers the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years. This agreement replaces and supersedes previously existing joint advertising and vehicle supply agreements that would have expired August 31, 2007.

The terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement only apply to our fleet requirements and advertising in the United States and to Ford, Lincoln or Mercury brand vehicles, or "Ford Vehicles." Under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, Ford has agreed to supply to us and we have agreed to purchase from Ford, during each of the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years, a specific number of Ford Vehicles. Ford has also agreed in the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement to pay us a contribution toward the cost of our advertising of Ford Vehicles equal to one-half of our total expenditure on such advertising, up to a specified maximum amount. To be eligible for advertising cost contribution under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, the advertising must meet certain conditions, including the condition that we feature Ford Vehicles in a manner and with a prominence that is reasonably satisfactory to Ford. It further provides that the amounts Ford will be obligated to pay to us for our advertising costs will be increased or reduced according to the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in any model year, provided Ford will not be required to pay any amount for our advertising costs for any year if the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in the corresponding model year is less than a specified minimum except to the extent that our failure to acquire the specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles is attributable to the availability of Ford Vehicles or Ford vehicle production is disrupted for reasons beyond the control of Ford. To the extent we acquire less than a specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles in any model year, we have agreed to pay Ford a specified amount per vehicle below the minimum.

The amounts contributed by Ford for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 were (in millions of dollars) $24.9, $42.7, $1.3 and $42.4, respectively. The advertising contributions paid by Ford for the 2007 vehicle model year under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement were less than the advertising contributions we received from Ford for the 2006 model year due to a reduction in the number of Ford Vehicles acquired. We do not expect that the reductions in Ford's advertising contributions will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We incurred net advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 of (in millions of dollars) $173.5, $154.5, $5.0 and $159.9, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Under the terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, we will be able to enter into vehicle advertising and supply agreements with other automobile manufacturers in the United States and in other countries, and we intend to explore those opportunities. However, we cannot offer assurance that we will be able to obtain advertising contributions from other automobile manufacturers that will mitigate the reduction in Ford's advertising contributions.

Ford subsidiaries and affiliates also supply other brands of cars, including Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda and Land Rover cars, to us in the United States under arrangements separate from the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement. In addition, Ford, its subsidiaries and affiliates are significant suppliers of cars to our international operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005, we purchased cars from Ford and its subsidiaries at a cost of approximately (in billions of dollars) $2.9, $4.1, $0.1 and $4.7, respectively, and sold cars to Ford and its subsidiaries under various repurchase programs for approximately (in billions of dollars) $2.2, $3.1, $0.1 and $3.5, respectively.

Stock option plan

Certain employees of ours participate in the stock option plan of Ford under Ford's 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As a result of the Acquisition, all outstanding options issued under this plan became vested.

Taxes

Prior to the Acquisition, Hertz and its domestic subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Ford. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, or the "Agreement," with Ford, current and deferred taxes were reported, and paid to Ford, as if Hertz had filed its own consolidated tax returns with its domestic subsidiaries. The Agreement provided that Hertz was reimbursed for foreign tax credits in accordance with the utilization of those credits by the Ford consolidated tax group.

On December 21, 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, the Agreement with Ford was terminated. Upon termination, all tax payables and receivables with Ford were cancelled and neither Hertz nor Ford has any future rights or obligations under the Agreement. Hertz may be exposed to tax liabilities attributable to periods it was a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify Hertz for certain tax liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that payments in respect of the indemnification agreement will be available.

Other relationships and transactions

We and Ford also engage in other transactions in the ordinary course of our respective businesses. These transactions include providing car and equipment rental services to Ford and providing insurance and insurance claim management services to Ford. In addition, Ford subsidiaries are our car rental licensees in Scandinavia and Finland.

Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a stockholders agreement, or, as amended, the "Stockholders Agreement," with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Stockholders Agreement contains agreements that entitle investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors to nominate all of our directors. The director nominees are to include three nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R (one of whom shall serve as the chairman or, if the chief executive officer is the chairman, the lead director), two nominees of investment funds associated with Carlyle, two nominees of an investment fund associated with MLGPE (collectively, the "Sponsor Designees") and up to six independent directors (subject to unanimous consent of the Sponsor Designees, for so long as Hertz Holdings remains a "controlled company"), subject to adjustment in the case that the applicable investment fund sells more than a specified amount of its shareholdings in us. In addition, upon Hertz Holdings ceasing to be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange rules, if necessary to comply with the New York Stock Exchange rules, the director nominees of the Sponsors shall be reduced to two nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R (one of whom shall serve as the chairman or, if the chief executive officer is the chairman, the lead director), one nominee of investment funds associated with Carlyle, and one nominee of an investment fund associated with MLGPE, and additional independent directors will be elected by the board to fill the resulting director vacancies. The Stockholders Agreement also provides that our chief executive officer shall be designated as a director, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Sponsor Designees. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement provides that one of the nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R shall serve as the chairman of the executive and governance committee and, unless otherwise agreed by this fund, as Chairman of the Board. On October 12, 2006, our Board elected four independent directors, effective from the date of the completion of the initial public offering of our common stock. In order to comply with New York Stock Exchange rules, we will be required to have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors within one year of our ceasing to be a "controlled company."

The Stockholders Agreement also grants to the investment funds associated with CD&R or to the majority of the Sponsor Designees the right to remove our chief executive officer. Any replacement chief executive officer requires the consent of investment funds associated with CD&R as well as investment funds associated with at least one other Sponsor. It also contains restrictions on the transfer of our shares, and provides for tag-along and drag-along rights, in certain circumstances. The rights described above apply only for so long as the investment funds associated with the applicable Sponsor maintain certain specified minimum levels of shareholdings in us. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement limits the rights of the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors that have invested in our common stock and our affiliates, subject to several exceptions, to own, manage, operate or control any of our competitors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement). The Stockholders Agreement may be amended from time to time in the future to eliminate or modify these restrictions without our consent.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into a registration rights agreement, or, as amended, the "Registration Rights Agreement," with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Registration Rights Agreement grants to certain of these investment funds the right, following the earlier of the initial public offering of our common stock and the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, to cause us, at our own expense, to use our best efforts to register such securities held by the investment funds for public resale, subject to certain limitations. The exercise of this right is limited to three requests by the group of investment funds associated with each Sponsor, except for registrations effected pursuant to Form S-3, which are unlimited, subject to certain limitations, if we are eligible to use Form S-3. In the event we register any of our common stock, these investment funds also have the right to require us to use our best efforts to include shares of our common stock held by them, subject to certain limitations, including as determined by the underwriters. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for us to indemnify the investment funds party to that agreement and their affiliates in connection with the registration of our securities.

Consulting agreements

Sponsor Consulting Agreements

On the Closing Date, Hertz Holdings and Hertz entered into consulting agreements, or the "Consulting Agreements," with each of the Sponsors (or one of their affiliates), pursuant to which such Sponsor or its affiliate provides Hertz Holdings, Hertz and Hertz's subsidiaries with financial advisory and management consulting services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreements, Hertz paid to each Sponsor or its affiliate an annual fee of $1 million for such services, plus expenses, unless the Sponsors unanimously agree to a higher amount. In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz paid a fee of $25 million to each Sponsor and reimbursed certain expenses of the Sponsors and their affiliates. Upon completion of the initial public offering of our common stock, each of these consulting agreements was terminated for a fee of $5 million ($15 million in the aggregate).

Other Consulting Arrangements

On September 29, 2006, Hertz entered into an agreement with Tenzing Consulting LLC, a management consulting firm in which Thomas McLeod, who is the brother-in-law of our director David H. Wasserman, is a principal. Under the arrangement, which has now been fully performed, Tenzing Consulting LLC provided supply chain management and corporate purchasing management consulting. In exchange for these services, Tenzing Consulting LLC received fees of $25,000 per week, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the total amount of such fees and expenses paid to Tenzing Consulting LLC under this agreement was approximately $0.2 million.

Guarantees

Hertz's obligations under the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz's immediate parent, Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously known as CCMG Corporation). Hertz Holdings is not a guarantor of these facilities. See Note 3—Debt.

Indemnification Agreements

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, the Hertz Holdings' stockholders affiliated with the

167

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings.

Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. The indemnification agreements provide the directors with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our by-laws, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreements.

We have not recorded any liability because these liabilities are considered to be de minimis.

Director Stock Incentive Plan

On October 12, 2006, the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings approved the Director Plan. The stockholders of Hertz Holdings approved the Director Plan on October 20, 2006. The Director Plan provides for the grant of shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings, options to purchase shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings and "phantom shares," which are the right to receive shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at a specified point in the future. A maximum of 3,500,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the Director Plan.

Options granted under the Director Plan must be granted at an exercise price no less than fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options granted as part of a director's annual retainer fee will be fully vested at the time of grant and will generally have a 10-year term.

A director may generally elect to receive all or a portion of fees that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings having a fair market value at such time equal to the amount of such fees. Any such shares will be paid to the director when cash fees would otherwise be payable, although, if a director so chooses, these shares may be payable on a tax-deferred basis in phantom shares, in which case the actual shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings will be paid to the director promptly following the date on which he or she ceases to serve as a director (or, if earlier, upon a change in control).

A director will recognize ordinary income upon exercising options granted under the Director Plan in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price, and Hertz Holdings will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time. In the case of shares issued in lieu of cash fees, a director who is an individual will generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date such shares are paid to the director and Hertz Holdings will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized $1.7 million of expense relating to the Director Plan in our consolidated statement of operations in "Selling, general and administrative" expenses.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

Affiliates of ML Global Private Equity, L.P. and its related funds (which are stockholders of Hertz Holdings) and of Merrill Lynch & Co., one of the underwriters in the initial public offering of our common stock and the June 2007 secondary offering by the Sponsors, were lenders under the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility (which was repaid with the proceeds of our initial public offering), are lenders under the original and amended Senior Term Facility, the original and amended Senior ABL Facility and the Fleet Financing Facility; acted as initial purchasers with respect to the offerings of the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes; acted as structuring advisors and agents under our ABS Program; and acted as

dealer managers and solicitation agents for Hertz's tender offers for its existing debt securities in connection with the Acquisition. See Note 3—Debt.

Other Sponsor Relationships

In connection with our car and equipment rental businesses, we enter into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, we also procure goods and services from thousands of vendors. Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with the Sponsors or members of our Board of Directors. We believe that all such rental and procurement transactions have been conducted on an arms-length basis and involved terms no less favorable to us than those that we believe we would have obtained in the absence of such affiliation. It is our management's practice to bring to the attention of our Board of Directors any transaction, even if it arises in the ordinary course of business, in which our management believes that the terms being sought by transaction participants affiliated with the Sponsors or our Directors would be less favorable to us than those to which we would agree absent such affiliation.

In the second quarter of 2007, we were advised by Merrill Lynch & Co., an affiliate of one of our Sponsors, that between November 17, 2006, and April 19, 2007, Merrill Lynch & Co., or "ML," engaged in principal trading activity in our common stock. Some of those purchases and sales of our common stock should have been reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4, but were not so reported. ML and certain of its affiliates have engaged in additional principal trading activity since that time. ML and certain of its affiliates have since filed amended or additional reports on Form 4 disclosing the current number of shares of our common stock held by ML and its affiliates. To date, ML has paid to us approximately $4.8 million for its "short-swing" profit liability resulting from its principal trading activity that is subject to recovery by us under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event that ML or its affiliates (including private investment funds managed by certain private equity-arm affiliates of ML) sell additional shares of our common stock in the future, this amount may change. We recorded $2.9 million, which is net of tax of $1.9 million, in our consolidated balance sheet in "Additional paid-in capital." In addition, because ML may be deemed to be an affiliate of Hertz Holdings and there was no registration statement in effect with respect to its sale of shares during this period, certain of these sales may have been made in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 15—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As a result of the Acquisition, our capital structure initially consisted of 229,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings per share for the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 reflect our initial post-Acquisition capital structure. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Background and Change in Ownership—Initial and Secondary Public Offering and Note 5—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan for a discussion of subsequent capital structure changes. Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

Diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 excluded the weighted-average impact of the assumed exercise of 1,645,623 and 11,520 stock options, respectively, because such impact would be antidilutive.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

We are in the process of obtaining shareholder approval for an Omnibus long-term incentive plan, or the "Omnibus plan," providing for grants of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units.

The purpose of the plan is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of Hertz Holdings and its subsidiaries and materially increase shareholder value by (a) motivating superior performance by plan participants, (b) providing participants with an ownership interest in Hertz Holdings, and (c) enabling Hertz Holdings and its subsidiaries to attract and retain the services of outstanding employees upon whose judgment, interest and special effort the successful conduct of its operations is largely dependent.

The compensation committee of Hertz Holdings' board of directors has the authority to grant awards under the plan to employees and non-employee directors of Hertz Holdings and its subsidiaries to whom awards will be granted, the type or types of awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of any and all awards.

A maximum of 17.7 million shares of Hertz Holdings common stock will be reserved for issuance under the Omnibus plan, which will include shares that remain available under the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and the Director plan, both of which will terminate upon adoption of the Omnibus plan. The shares of common stock to be delivered under the Omnibus plan may consist, in whole or in

170

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


part, of common stock held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of common stock, not reserved for any other purpose.

Shares subject to any award granted under the Omnibus plan, the Stock Incentive Plan, or the Director plan that for any reason are canceled, terminated, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise settled without the issuance of common stock after the effective date of the Omnibus plan will generally be available for grant under the Omnibus plan.

All stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Omnibus plan will have a per-share exercise price no less than fair market value of one share of Hertz Holdings common stock on the grant date. Stock options and stock appreciation rights will vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events (such as a change in control, as defined in the Omnibus plan) specified by the compensation committee. No stock options or stock appreciation rights will be exercisable after ten years from the grant date. The compensation committee may accelerate the vesting of an option or stock appreciation right at any time. In addition, vesting of options and stock appreciation rights will be accelerated if Hertz Holdings experiences a change in control (as defined in the Omnibus plan) unless options or stock appreciation rights with substantially equivalent terms and economic value are substituted for existing options and stock appreciation rights in place of accelerated vesting. Vesting of options and stock appreciation rights will also be accelerated in the event of an employee's death or disability (as defined in the Omnibus plan). Upon a termination for cause (as defined in the Omnibus plan), all options and stock appreciation rights held by the employee are immediately cancelled. Following a termination without cause, vested options and stock appreciation rights will generally remain exercisable through the earliest of the expiration of their term or 30 days following termination of employment (one year in the case of death or disability).

Performance stock, performance stock units and performance units granted under the Omnibus plan will vest based on the achievement of pre-determined performance goals over performance periods determined by the compensation committee. In the event of an employee's death or disability, a pro rata portion of the employee's performance stock, performance stock units and performance units will vest to the extent performance goals are achieved at the end of the performance period. Upon a termination of employment or for any other reason, all outstanding performance stock, performance stock units and performance units held by the employee are immediately canceled.

Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the Omnibus plan will vest based on a minimum period of service or the occurrence of events (such as a change in control, as defined in the Omnibus plan) specified by the compensation committee. Upon a termination of employment for any reason, any unvested restricted stock or restricted stock units of the employee will be canceled.

Each deferred stock unit granted under the Omnibus plan represents the right to receive one share of Hertz Holdings common stock on a specified future date. Generally, upon a participant's termination of employment other than for cause, Hertz Holdings will issue one share of common stock to the participant for each deferred stock unit the participant then holds.

Upon a change in control of Hertz Holdings, unless outstanding awards are honored, assumed or substituted with alternative awards that provide substantially similar terms, conditions and economic value to the original awards granted under the Omnibus plan, all awards will immediately become exercisable and any restrictions related to the awards will lapse.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or "Hertz Holdings," is the top-level holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its indirect subsidiaries. Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware on August 31, 2005 in anticipation of the December 21, 2005 acquisition by its subsidiary, Hertz Investors, Inc., of the Hertz Corporation. Hertz Holdings had no operations prior to December 21, 2005, and accordingly, its results of operations and cash flows have only been presented for the post-acquisition 11-day period ended December 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

There are significant restrictions over the ability of Hertz Holdings to obtain funds from its indirect subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements have been presented on a "parent-only" basis. Under a parent-only presentation, the investments of Hertz Holdings in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. These parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Hertz Holdings included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Note 2—Debt

On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a loan facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. or affiliates thereof, providing for a loan of $1.0 billion, or the "Hertz Holdings Loan Facility," for the purpose of paying a special cash dividend to the holders of record of its common stock immediately prior to the initial public offering and paying fees and expenses related to the facility. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was repaid in full with the proceeds of its initial public offering, and the restrictive covenants contained therein were terminated. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Hertz Holdings had no direct outstanding debt obligations, but its indirect subsidiaries did. For a discussion of the debt obligations of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Note 3 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Note 3—Commitments and Contingencies

Hertz Holdings has no direct commitments and contingencies, but its indirect subsidiaries do. For a discussion of the commitments and contingencies of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Notes 8 and 10 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Note 4—Dividends

Hertz Holdings did not receive any cash dividends from its subsidiaries during 2007. During 2006, Hertz Holdings received $15.5 million in cash dividends from its subsidiaries.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
