ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On February 28, 2007, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz Holdings”), the indirect parent company of The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”) issued a press release announcing the second in a series of previously announced initiatives to further improve its competitiveness and industry leadership. As detailed in the press release, targeted job reductions affect primarily Hertz Holdings’s 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, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, and up to $125 million is projected in annualized savings. Additional initiatives to improve operational efficiency will be implemented and announced during 2007. A copy of the press release issued in connection therewith is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning Hertz Holdings’s anticipated implementation of productivity and efficiency initiatives, including targeted job reductions, and the anticipated savings and restructuring charges expected to be realized or incurred in connection therewith. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may” or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that Hertz Holdings has made in light of its experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that Hertz Holdings believes are appropriate in these circumstances. As you read this press release, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could affect Hertz’s and Hertz Holdings’s actual results and its ability to implement its cost savings and efficiency initiatives successfully, and could cause Hertz’ s and Hertz Holdings’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Some important factors include: Hertz’s and Hertz Holdings’s operations; economic performance; financial condition; management forecasts; efficiencies, cost savings and opportunities to increase productivity and profitability; income and margins; liquidity; anticipated growth; economies of scale; the economy; future economic performance; Hertz’s and Hertz Holdings’s ability to maintain profitability during adverse economic cycles and unfavorable external events (including war, terrorist acts, natural disasters and epidemic disease); future acquisitions and dispositions; litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; management’s plans; taxes; and refinancing of existing debt. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements contained in this press release might not prove to be accurate and you should not place undue reliance upon them. All forward-looking statements attributable to Hertz, Hertz Holdings or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and Hertz and Hertz Holdings undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Hertz cautions you therefore that you should not rely unduly on these forward-looking statements. You should understand the risks and uncertainties discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in Hertz Holdings’s prospectus, dated November 15, 2006, relating to the initial public offering of its common stock, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” could affect Hertz’s and Hertz Holdings’s future results and the outcome of Hertz Holdings’s implementation of its cost savings and efficiency initiatives, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in Hertz’s and Hertz Holdings’s forward-looking statements.
