The rental company is in a delicate situation as much of the income comes from car rental at airports
Car rental company Hertz Global Holdings, more than a century old, filed for bankruptcy on Friday after its business disappeared during the coronavirus pandemic and talks with its creditors failed to provide the necessary relief.
In a United States court filing, the company voluntarily filed for a company reorganization. Its international operating regions, including Europe, Australia and New Zealand, were not included in the US procedures.
