ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Effective September 29, 2008, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and the requisite percentage of the lenders under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2007 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) amended the Credit Agreement to modify the level of permissible leverage during the period beginning September 30, 2008 and continuing through November 30, 2008. Compliance with the leverage ratio test under the amended Credit Agreement at any date during that period will be based on Corporate EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2008, rather than for the most recently completed trailing four quarters. Following that period, the leverage ratio test will again be based on Corporate EBITDA for the trailing four quarters most recently completed prior to the relevant test date.

Under the amended Credit Agreement, through November 30, 2008, the Company will be prohibited from further borrowings under the facility and from requesting the issuance of additional letters of credit thereunder as enhancement for its commercial paper and medium-term note programs. Through November 30, 2008, the Company must also maintain at least $60 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, although it may use these assets (or their proceeds) to prepay facility debt, and it will be subject to restrictions on certain activities otherwise permissible under the facility.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.200, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company’s press release relating to the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.51, which is also incorporated herein by reference.
