Business

Name That Company

I was founded in Chicago in 1918 by a 22-year-old who rented out a dozen Model T Fords. I was later owned by General Motors, RCA, United Airlines and Ford. Today, I'm the world's largest general-use car rental brand and the No. 1 airport car rental brand. I had 1,000 locations by 1955, and today they number nearly 8,000 in 145 nations. I now offer hourly rentals, as well as a "Green Collection" line of energy-efficient

hybrid vehicles. I operate a top American equipment rental business. In 1994, I stopped using my most wellknown celebrity endorser. Who am I?
