Hertz Rent-A-Car: Growing and green

The largest car rental company in the world began with a fleet of 18 Ford Model Ts owned by an ambitious 22-year-old who thought folks in Chicago might take to the idea. Within five years he was commanding revenues of $1 million. These days, the familiar Hertz Rent-A-Car yellow logo follows business and leisure travelers throughout the world and on RentalCars.net.

Recently, Hertz Rent-A-Car launched a worldwide commitment to consumer demand for better environmental standards by introducing its Green Collection. In addition to adding more than 3,000 Toyota Prius hybrids, Hertz has committed to introducing cars to its fleet that meet the EPA's SmartWay certified cars standard, which requires fuel efficiency of more than 31 miles per gallon.
