Thrifty Car Rental is one of the largest car rental companies currently in operation and is also one of the most widely recognized brands in the world.

[edit] Dollar Rent A Car

Dollar Rent A Car was founded in 1965 by Henry Caruso in Los Angeles, California. In 1990 it was acquired by Chrysler. It was originally called Dollar Rent A Car because it had a standardized daily rate of one dollar for sedans. By 1968, rates were raised to keep competitive prices while maintaining monopolistic competition with other rental car companies.

Dollar has more than 647 worldwide locations in 53 countries, with a significant presence in Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America, including more than 358 in the United States and Canada.
