Competitive Landscape

Hertz is one of the top competitors in the car rental market. It has a good brand, but its EVs still face challenges and competition. Budget is strong in the budget segment. Avis is known for its technological advancements and is a close competitor to Hertz. Sixt is expanding globally and is becoming an increasingly strong contender.

Major Acquisitions

Donlen Corporation

  • Acquisition Price (USD millions): 960
  • Strategic Rationale: Expanded Hertz's fleet management capabilities. Provided entry into other segments of the fleet business.

Growth Trajectory and Initiatives

Historical Growth: Historical growth has been inconsistent due to economic cycles, ownership changes, and the recent bankruptcy. The re-emergence from bankruptcy and electric vehicle strategy are key drivers for future growth.

Future Projections: Analyst estimates vary, but generally project moderate revenue growth driven by increased travel and expansion of the electric vehicle fleet. Projections are subject to risks related to economic conditions and competition.

Recent Initiatives: Investing heavily in building its electric vehicle fleet. Partnerships with Uber, Polestar, and other companies to support and grow its EV rental business.

Summary

Hertz is a well-known brand in the car rental industry that has faced challenges like bankruptcy. Its investments in EVs could position it well, however, those investments may not return what is expected. The company needs to closely manage debt and operating expenses. Continued improvement in customer service is important.
