Avis Offers to Top Hertz Bid for Dollar Thrifty
By wchung | 05 May, 2025
Avis says rival rental car company Dollar Thrifty is selling itself too cheaply to Hertz, and promised to top the buyout offer announced last week.
In a letter to two top executives at Dollar Thrifty, Avis said Monday it wants Dollar Thrifty to open its books before it counters the $1.17 billion offer from Hertz Global Holdings.
Avis says it has been trying to set up meetings with Dollar to talk about a sale, and was blindsided by the announcement of a tie-up with Hertz.
Hertz is already the world’s largest car rental company by locations. The Hertz bid values Dollar Thrifty, based in Oklahoma, at $41 per share. The offer is made up of 80 percent cash and 20 percent Hertz stock.
