In 1918, Walter L. Jacobs had the innovative idea and established the first car rental office in the world in Chicago, in the United States of America, purchasing and repairing on his own twelve second-hand Ford model T automobiles. In 1923, the company‘s income exceeded 1 million USD and W. L. Jacobs sold it to John Hertz, who changed the name into „Hertz Drive – UR – Self System”, remaining, however, president of the company. Subsequently, the company changed ownership; it was renamed to „The Hertz Corporation” and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, the company grew and expanded rapidly, becoming the largest car rental company in the world and has remained as the leading car rental company for 80 years. Presently, with more than 100 years experience in the car rental business, Hertz has over 600.000 cars and 12.000 offices in 160 countries, in 5 continents. ABOUT HERTZ AND AUTOHELLAS GROUP
