The task is vital to the lines: for every additional 1% of the population that they succeed in attracting to flight, they gain $100 million in revenues.

Wanamaker insisted that Hertz is not moving into economy rentals because it is losing sales to the budget renters but because budget rentals have smoked out customers that the car renters have never served before-and Hertz wants its share of them. Valcar will offer all the regular features in its rented cars (radio, seat belts, etc.) but will eliminate such extras as revolving credit, airport locations, car delivery and wide choice of models.
