US car rental giant Hertz will acquire its former competitor Dollar Thrifty for US$2.3 billion, the two companies announced today.
In a joint statement, the two companies said their boards of directors had unanimously approved the transaction.
They said the combination of Hertz and Dollar Thrifty will create "a global, multi-brand rental car leader offering customers a full range of rental options through its strong premium and value brands."
According to the announcement, Hertz will pay Dollar Thrifty shareholders US$87.50 per share in cash.
"We'll be a stronger global competitive player with a full range of rental options not only in the US but in Europe and other markets given Dollar Thrifty's strong international presence," Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Frissora said.
Scott Thompson, president, CEO and chairman of the board of Dollar Thrifty called Hertz's offer "compelling," adding that the merger would be "a win-win transaction" for both companies.
"Hertz is the logical partner for us with the resources to expand our value focused leisure brands in key car rental markets around the world," said Thompson.
The deal is still subject to approval by the Federal Trade Commission.
