FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

Company Discusses Key Initiatives To Address Automotive Industry Changes

Tulsa, Oklahoma, August 7, 2007: Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: DTG) today reported net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $15.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $26.7 million, or $1.04 per diluted share for the comparable 2006 quarter. The decrease in second quarter net income year over year included $0.07 per share of transition costs related to the outsourcing of information technology services and call center operations along with one-time charges to write off deferred financing fees for the Company’s retired revolving credit facility which was refinanced in June, partially offset by $0.03 per share of favorable change in fair value of derivatives.

For the first six months of 2007, net income was $20.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share. For the first six months of 2006, net income was $48.5 million or $1.87 per diluted share. The decrease in net income year over year for the six month period included $0.34 per share of unfavorable change in fair value of derivatives and $0.13 per share of outsourcing transition costs and one-time charges to write off deferred financing fees.

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.36 for the 2007 second quarter as compared to $0.80 of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the 2006 second quarter. The second quarter of 2007 was negatively impacted by $0.07 per share of outsourcing transition costs and the write off of deferred financing fees. For the first six months of 2007, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.76 as compared to $1.46 of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for same time period in 2006. The first six months of 2007 were negatively impacted by $0.13 of outsourcing transition costs and the write off of deferred financing fees. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results is included in Table 3. Non-GAAP net income excludes the (increase) decrease in fair value of derivatives, net of related tax impact, from the reported GAAP net income.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s total revenue was a record $451.6 million, an increase of 6.9 percent over the comparable 2006 period. For the six month period ending June 30, 2007, total revenue was $849.6 million, an increase of 8.5 percent over the first half of 2006. For the 2007 second quarter, vehicle rental revenue was $431.1 million, a 10.4 percent increase over the 2006 second quarter as a result of an increase in both revenue per day and rental day volume. Revenue per day was up 5.6 percent and rental days increased 4.6 percent, driven by franchise acquisitions. “While 5.6 percent growth in revenue per day would typically be considered strong, it was below where we had been trending for the previous six months,” said Gary L. Paxton, President and Chief Executive Officer. On a same store basis, total transactions increased 1.6 percent in line with airline traffic increases; however, due to shorter average transaction length, same store rental days declined by 1.9 percent.

Key Initiatives

“Vehicle manufacturers have been reducing the number of vehicles sold to the rental car industry and increasing our fleet costs,” said Paxton. “We are also absorbing higher vehicle financing costs as a result of lower credit ratings in the auto industry. While raising rental rates is the key to offset these vehicle related increases, we are also taking steps to further reduce operating costs throughout the organization in an effort to reinforce our objective to be the low cost provider in the rental car industry. These actions are designed to respond to these auto industry changes by reducing operating costs and flattening the organization to make it even more efficient and more capable of a rapid response to the changing environment. As discussed below, starting with 2008 model year deliveries, we expect vehicle cost increases to moderate significantly.

“We have made great progress during the quarter on a number of key initiatives to better position the Company for long-term success,” Paxton said. “We are taking steps to become as lean as possible and to further reduce costs throughout the organization.”

On the cost side, the Company just announced a flattening of the management structure and significant staff reductions at its Tulsa-based headquarters to lower its cost structure. This action is part of a plan to make the organization more lean, streamline processes and decision making, and improve customer service. The personnel changes, effective immediately, eliminate 25 percent of management positions at the Company’s headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as other support staff. These reductions will result in annual pretax cost savings of approximately $7 million; however, the Company does expect to record approximately $2.5 million in pretax severance costs in the third quarter. The Company has begun implementing productivity improvements in each of its field locations utilizing lean management techniques. The Company is also installing fleet optimization software this fall which should greatly enhance its management of fleet costs. The Company has already outsourced information technology services and a significant portion of its call center operations.

With respect to capital structure, the Company took advantage of a favorable credit market and completed a key financing transaction during the quarter. The $600 million transaction includes $250 million of corporate term debt, providing more flexibility to finance non-program vehicles and vehicles purchased from non-investment grade manufacturers, and a new $350 million revolving credit facility, replacing the existing $300 million facility.

With respect to revenue growth, the Company has increased its efforts to more aggressively target both the domestic corporate segment and the international inbound segment. The Company continues to offer more value-added products to its customers such as the new Style Series high end product line in limited markets such as Florida, Nevada, and California, as well as increasing the number of GPS units that the Company has available for consumers. In addition, the Company has begun a moderate expansion of its local market business with a target of opening 50 new stores this year. The Company continues its acquisition growth strategy and has acquired ten Thrifty franchises and one Dollar franchise this year.

The Company plans to restart the share repurchase program in the third quarter. The Company has $188.7 million of remaining authorization available through December 31, 2008. Because of the Company’s review of strategic alternatives and related discussions, the Company did not buy back shares during the second quarter.

Outlook

“Today’s trends reveal a stable travel environment with healthy revenue per day increases,” Paxton said. “Rental pricing is up sharply in the peak summer travel months of July and August over the prior year although we expect price increases to moderate during off-peak periods. Price increases in the fourth quarter will be more challenging as we compare to very strong prior year price increases. We expect continued growth in rental day volume resulting from franchise acquisitions, new local market stores, and expanding and diversifying our customer base. Vehicle cost increases will progressively moderate during the third and fourth quarters as we annualize higher cost 2007 model vehicles and begin to purchase 2008 model vehicles. We expect full year 2007 vehicle depreciation costs measured on a cost per vehicle basis will increase about 25 percent over the prior year. We estimate the 2008 model year vehicle cost increases will moderate substantially from the increase experienced in 2007, including our plan to increase the mix of non-program vehicles.”

The Company is lowering its earnings per share guidance from a range of $2.50 to $2.90 to a range of $2.00 to $2.40. This reduction includes approximately $0.11 per share financial impact of the new credit facilities and corporate term debt and $0.10 per share for the higher number of shares outstanding due to delays in restarting the share repurchase program. For the full year, the Company is still planning for a 7 to 9 percent increase in revenue per day, but is lowering its estimate for same store rental days to be down about 2 percent as compared to 2006. Total rental days, which include the impact of acquisitions, are planned to increase in the range of 3 to 4 percent. This guidance includes approximately $0.06 per share of severance costs related to the management and staff reductions. On-going personnel cost savings from this action and other identified cost savings related to this initiative will favorably impact 2008 results by $0.25 to $0.30 per share.

The Company expects year-over-year earnings per share comparisons to be more favorable in the back half of the year than the first half comparisons as a result of more moderate vehicle depreciation and vehicle financing cost increases and reduced outsourcing transition costs. The Company expects third quarter results to be above the previous year primarily as a result of these improving cost trends and a stronger pricing environment over the summer peak travel period. This earnings per share guidance excludes the impact of any increases or decreases in fair value of derivatives.

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP pretax income, Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP EPS exclude the impact of the (increase) decrease in fair value of derivatives, net of related tax impact (as applicable), from the reported GAAP measure. Due to volatility resulting from the mark-to-market treatment of the derivatives, the Company believes non-GAAP measures provide an important assessment of year over year operating results. See table below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results.

The following table reconciles reported GAAP pretax income per the income statement to non-GAAP pretax income:

Non-GAAP Measures

Corporate EBITDA means earnings, excluding the impact of the (increase) decrease in fair value of derivatives, before non-vehicle interest expense, income taxes, non-vehicle depreciation, amortization, and certain other items specified in the Company's $600 million credit agreement. The Company believes Corporate EBITDA is important as it is utilized in the calculation of financial covenants in the Company's credit agreement and provides investors with a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company has revised its calculation of Corporate EBITDA for all periods presented to be consistent with the Company's credit agreement. EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative measure of the Company's net income, operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. Corporate EBITDA amounts presented may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies.
