FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Some of the statements contained herein under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Although Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. believes such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and certain factors could cause results to differ materially from current expectations.  These factors include: price and product competition; access to reservation distribution channels; economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the companies customers reside and where the companies and their franchisees operate; natural hazards or catastrophes; incidents of terrorism; airline travel
patterns; changes in capital availability or cost; costs and other terms related to the acquisition and disposition of automobiles; systems or communications failures; costs of conducting business and changes in structure or operations; and certain regulatory and environmental matters and litigation risks.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, among others, materialize, actual results could vary from those estimated, anticipated or projected. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.:



We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.



We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.



Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 14, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

## DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND 2005


---

(Unaudited)






|1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|-- | ---------------------



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (DTG) and its subsidiaries.  DTGs significant wholly owned subsidiaries include DTG Operations, Inc., Thrifty, Inc.,  Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., Rental Car Finance Corp. (RCFC) and Dollar Thrifty Funding Corp.  Thrifty, Inc. is the parent company to Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc., which is the parent company to Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Canada Inc. (DTG Canada).  The term the Company is used to refer to DTG and subsidiaries, individually or collectively, as the context may require.



The accounting policies set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2006 have been followed in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.



The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for interim periods included hereinhave notbeen audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.  The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the Companysopinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.



|2. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS
|-- | -------------------------



Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123 (R)) using the modified prospective application transition method.  SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).  The Company previously adopted the fair value based method of recording stock options consistent with SFAS No. 123 and accounted for the change in accounting principle using the prospective method in accordance with SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 148).  Under the prospective method, the Company expensed all stock based compensation granted since January 1, 2003 over the vesting period based
on the fair value at the date of grant. The fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R) are materially consistent;
        therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of financial
        condition, results of operation or cash flows.



SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company
        to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to share-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these forfeitures
        and the corresponding reduction in expense as they occur, as was allowed under SFAS No. 123.

Long-Term Incentive Plan



The Company has a long-term incentive
        plan (LTIP) for employees and non-employee directors under which the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of
        the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee) is authorized to provide for grants in the form of incentive
        option rights, non-qualified option rights, tandem appreciation rights, free-standing appreciation rights, restricted stock,
        restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other awards to key employees and non-employee directors that
        may be payable or related to common stock or factors that may influence the value of common
        stock.At March 31, 2006, the Companys common stock authorized for issuance
        under the LTIP was 2,707,687 shares.  The Company has 275,109 shares available for future LTIP awards at March 31, 2006 after
        reserving for the maximum potential shares that could be awarded under existing LTIP grants.  The Company issues new shares to satisfy
        LTIP awards.



Compensation cost for performance
        shares and restricted stock awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted at the
        grant-date.The Company recognized compensation costs of $2.3 million
        and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for such awards.  The Company
        granted 213,508 target performance shares and 27,511 restricted stock awards during the three months ended
        March 31, 2006.  There were no performance shares or restricted stock awards granted during the three months ended
        March 31, 2005.



Option Rights Plan Under the LTIP, the Committee may grant non-qualified option rights to key employees and non-employee directors.  The exercise prices for non-qualified option rights are equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant, except for the initial grant, which was made at the initial public offering price. The fair market value for each award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation.The non-qualified option rights generally vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant-date and have a term not exceeding ten years from the date of grant. The maximum number of shares for which option rights may be granted under the LTIP to any participant during any calendar year is 285,000.



As of the end of 2004, all stock
        option rights were fully vested.  Therefore, the disclosure of the pro forma results as if the fair value-based method of SFAS No.
        123 had been applied is not required for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The Company has not granted stock option rights
        since January 1, 2003.



The following table sets forth the non-qualified option rights activity under the LTIP for the three months ended March 31, 2006:

Performance
        Shares Performance shares are granted to Company
        officers and certain key employees. The awards granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 established a target number
        of shares that generally vest at the end of a three year requisite service period following the grant-date.
        The number of performance shares ultimately earned will range from zero to 200% of the target award, depending
        on the level of corporate performance over each of the three years, which is considered the performance period.
        Effective January 1, 2006, the expense related to performance shares is based on a market based condition as
        defined in SFAS No. 123 (R) for 50% of the target award and 50% of the target award is based on defined performance
        indicators.  For the awards granted in 2006, the grant-date fair value for the performance indicator portion of
        the award was based on the closing market price of the Companys common shares at the date of grant.  The market
        condition based portion of the award was estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model
        and the assumptions noted in the following table:

| |  |                                           |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |        |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

The target awards granted in 2005 and 2004 were valued at the closing market price of the Companys common shares at the date of grant.

Performance shares earned are delivered based upon vesting of the grant, provided the grantee is then employed
        by the Company. For instances of retirement, involuntary termination without cause, disability or death, performance
        share awards vest on a pro-rata basis at 100% of target, but will not be issued until the end of the performance period.
        Any performance share installments not earned at the end of the requisite service period are forfeited.  The following
        table presents the status of the Companys nonvested performance shares as of March 31, 2006 and any changes during
        the three months ended March 31, 2006:

At March 31, 2006, the total
        compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards not yet recognized is estimated at approximately $13.0 million,
        depending upon the Companys performance against targets specified in the performance share agreement.  This estimated
        compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.2 years.  Values of the performance shares
        earned will be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.  The maximum amount for which performance
        shares may be granted under the LTIP during any year to any participant is 160,000 common shares.



Restricted Stock Units Under the LTIP, the Committee may grant restricted stock units to key employees and non-employee directors.  The Committee generally grants restricted stock units to non-employee directors.  These grants generally vest at the end of the fiscal year in which the grants were made.  For the awards granted in 2006 and 2005, the grant-date fair value of the award was based on the closing market price of the Companys common shares at the date of grant.  The following table presents the status of the Companys nonvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2006 and any changes during the three months ended March 31, 2006:

|3. | ACQUISITIONS
|-- | ------------



During the three months ended March
        31, 2006, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities relating to three locations from former Dollar
        franchisees in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Nashville, Tennessee.  Total cash paid during the three months ended

Effective January 1, 2005, the
        Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 04-1, Accounting for Preexisting
        Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination
        (EITF No. 04-1).EITF No. 04-1 affirms that a business combination
        between two parties that have a preexisting relationship should be accounted for as a multiple element transaction.  This
        includes determining how the cost of the combination should be allocated after considering the assets and liabilities that

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of options.  In computing diluted earnings per share, the Company has utilized the treasury stock method.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company
        adopted the provisions of EITF No. 04-1 on January 1, 2005.  In applying the provisions of EITF No. 04-1 to the acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company established unamortized separately identifiable intangible assets, referred to as reacquired franchise rights.  Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as reacquired franchise rights, are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate there may be impairment.  The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment test on the indefinite lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year, unless circumstances arise that require more frequent testing.  During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed its annual impairment test of each reacquired franchise right and
concluded no impairment was indicated.  Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective useful lives.

        testing.  During the second quarter of 2005, the Company completed the annual impairment test of goodwill and concluded goodwill
        was not impaired.

On March 28, 2006, the Company renewed its Variable Funding Note Purchase Facility (the Conduit Facility) for another 364-day period with a capacity of $425 million.



On March 28, 2006, the Company renewed its Commercial Paper Program for another 364-day period at a maximum size of $649 million backed by a renewal of the Liquidity Facility in the amount of $560 million.



On March 28, 2006, RCFC issued $600 million of asset backed notes (the 2006 Series notes) to replace maturing asset backed notes and provide for growth in the Companys fleet.  The 2006 Series notes consist of five-year floating rate notes at LIBOR plus 0.18%.  In conjunction with the issuance of the 2006 Series notes, the Company also entered into interest rate swap agreements to convert this floating rate debt to fixed rate debt at a 5.27% interest rate.



|10. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|--- | --------------------------------



The Company is exposed to market risks,
        such as changes in interest rates.  Consequently, the Company manages the financial exposure as part of its risk management program,
        by striving to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the potential volatility of the financial markets may have on the
        Companys operating results.  In 2001, the Company began entering into interest rate swap agreements, in conjunction with
        each related new asset backed note issuance in 2001 through 2006, to convert variable interest rates on a total of $1.7 billion
        in asset backed notes to fixed interest rates.  These swaps, which have termination dates through May 2011, constitute cash flow
        hedges and satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting.  The Company reflects these swaps in its statement of financial position at
        fair market value, which were assets, included in receivables, of approximately $28.9 million and $20.9 million at March 31, 2006
        and December

31, 2005, respectively.  The Company recorded income of $4.8 million, which is net of income taxes, in total
        comprehensive income for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 (Note 11).  Deferred gains and losses are recognized in
        earnings as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being
        hedged are recognized in earnings.  Based on projected market interest rates, the Company estimates that approximately $9.7 million
        of net deferred gain will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

|12. | INCOME TAXES
|--- | ------------



The Company has provided for income taxes in the U.S. and in Canada based on taxable income or loss and other tax attributes separately for each jurisdiction.  The Company has established tax provisions separately for U.S. taxable income and Canadian losses, for which no income tax benefit was recorded.  Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities.  A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred income tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.



For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the overall effective tax rate of 46.0% differed from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to the state and local taxes and losses relating to DTG Canada for which no benefit was recorded due to full valuation allowance.



|13. | SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
|--- | ------------------------



In February 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program to replace the $100 million share repurchase program of which $44.7 million had been used to repurchase shares.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 601,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $41.62 per share totaling $25,026,000.  Since inception of the share repurchase programs, the Company has repurchased 2,152,900 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.40 per share totaling approximately $70 million, all of which were made in open market transactions.  At March 31, 2006, the $300 million share repurchase program has $275 million of remaining authorization to be completed by December 31, 2008.

Guarantees



The Company may provide guarantees, including certain letters of credit or performance bonds, on behalf of franchisees to support compliance with airport concession bids.  Non-performance of the obligation by the franchisee would trigger the obligation of the Company.  As of March 31, 2006, there were no guarantees outstanding.



Contingencies



Various claims and legal proceedings have been asserted or instituted against the Company, including some purporting to be class actions, and some which demand large monetary damages or other relief which could result in significant expenditures.  Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance.  The Company is also subject to potential liability related to environmental matters.  The Company establishes reserves for litigation and environmental matters when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable.  It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require the Company to make expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated.  The term reasonably possible is used herein to mean
that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than likely.  Although the final resolution of
        any such matters could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated operating results for the particular
        reporting period in which an adjustment of the estimated liability is recorded, the Company believes that any resulting liability would not materially affect its consolidated financial position.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2005



During the first quarter of 2006, the Company achieved revenue growth from volume related to both existing corporate stores and franchise acquisitions and to higher revenue per day.  The Company also achieved higher vehicle utilization rates and benefited from lower vehicle liability insurance costs, lower interest costs and cost savings initiatives.  The increase in revenue along with these cost improvements offset higher vehicle depreciation costs and other cost increases, which resulted in higher profits in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to last years first quarter.



Operating Results



The Company had income of $31.4 million before income taxes for the first quarter of 2006, compared to $24.2 million in the first quarter of 2005.

Vehicle rental revenue for the first quarter of 2006 increased 6.3%, due to a 4.7% increase in rental days totaling $14.6 million and a 1.6% increase in revenue per day totaling $5.1 million.  Vehicle rental revenue grew 4.1% due to same store revenue growth and 2.2% due to 2005 franchisee acquisitions that had not yet annualized, 2006 franchisee acquisitions and greenfield locations.



Vehicle leasing revenue for the first quarter of 2006 decreased 14.2%, due to a 21.9% decrease in the average lease fleet totaling $3.1 million, partially offset by a 9.8% increase in the average lease rate totaling $1.1 million.  The decline in volume was due to fewer vehicles leased to franchisees, which is primarily attributable to the shift of several locations from franchised operations to corporate operations.



Other revenue increased $1.9 million primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in the market value of investments in the Companys deferred compensation and retirement plans.  The revenue is attributable to the mark to market valuation of the corresponding investments and is offset in selling, general and administrative expenses and, therefore, has no impact on net income.

Direct vehicle and operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 increased $4.0 million, primarily due to higher fleet and transaction levels, partially offset by lower costs per transaction.  As a percent of revenue, direct vehicle and operating expenses were 53.7% in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 55.6% in the first quarter of 2005.

20







The increase in direct vehicle and operating expense in the first quarter of 2006 resulted from the following:



| |  | Personnel related
        expenses increased $5.9 million.  Salary expenses increased approximately $3.4 million due to higher compensation costs per employee,
         $1.3 million from increases in the number of employees and $0.9 million related to increased costs in group
        health insurance.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Airport
        concession expenses increased $1.9 million, which are primarily
        based on a percentage of revenue generated from the airport facility.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Vehicle related costs decreased $2.5 million.  This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in vehicle insurance expense of $4.5 million primarily related to the change in the vicarious liability law, which imposed liability on vehicle owners for acts by vehicle drivers.  The federal Highway Bill was signed into law on August 10, 2005, and removed unlimited vicarious liability for vehicle rental and leasing companies, limiting the Companys exposure to state minimum financial responsibility amounts.  The decrease in vehicle insurance expense was partially offset by an increase in gasoline expense of $1.3 million.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Net vehicle depreciation and lease charges for the first quarter of 2006 increased $4.8 million.  As a percent of revenue, net vehicle depreciation and lease charges were 16.1% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of 2005.



The increase in net vehicle depreciation and lease charges resulted from the following:



| |  | Net vehicle gains on disposal of Non-Program Vehicles, which reduce vehicle depreciation and lease charges, decreased $5.6 million.  This decrease resulted from a lower average gain per unit, partially offset by an increase in the number of units sold.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Lease charges, for vehicles leased from third parties, decreased $0.7 million due to a decrease in the average number of units leased.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Vehicle depreciation
        expense was unchanged for the period, resulting primarily from a 1.9% decrease in the average depreciation rate offset by a 1.9% increase in the depreciable fleet.  The decrease in depreciation rate was primarily the result of a shift in the fleet to lower cost units including a higher proportion of Non-Program Vehicles, which was partially offset by an increase in depreciation rates on Program Vehicles.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Selling, general and administrative
        expenses for the first quarter of 2006 increased $7.2 million, resulting from a $6.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses and a $1.2 million increase in sales and marketing expense.  As a percent of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 16.0% in the first quarter of 2005.



The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2006 resulted from the following:



| |  | Personnel related
        expenses increased $2.3 million due to a $0.6 million increase in incentive compensation expense and a $1.7 million increase in
        performance share expense.  The increase in performance share expense was partly due to better performance relative to the metrics under
        the performance share plans in 2006 as compared to 2005.  The remainder of the increase was due to the timing of the expense
        since the 2006 performance shares were granted during the first quarter of 2006, but the 2005 performance shares were granted
        during the second quarter of 2005.

| |  | The market value of investments in the Companys deferred compensation and retirement plans increased $1.2 million, which is offset in other revenue and, therefore, did not impact net income.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Professional fees, including accounting, legal and consulting, increased $2.2 million, primarily due to costs of $1.9 million related to a review of strategic alternatives.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Sales and marketing expense increased $1.2 million.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------



Net interest expense for the first
        quarter of 2006 decreased $3.4 million due to higher cash balances and interest rates and to an increase in the rate received on
        interest reimbursements relating to vehicle programs, partially offset by higher average vehicle debt and higher interest rates.  Net interest expense was 4.5% of revenue in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 5.7% in the first quarter of 2005.



The income tax provision for the first quarter of 2006 was $14.4 million.  The effective income tax rate in the first quarter was 46.0% compared to 46.4% in the first quarter of 2005.  The Company reports taxable income for the U.S. and Canada in separate tax jurisdictions and establishes provisions separately for each jurisdiction.  On a separate, domestic basis, the U.S. effective tax rate approximates the statutory tax rate including the effect of state income taxes.  However, no income tax benefit was recorded for Canadian losses in 2006 or 2005, thus, increasing the consolidated effective tax rate compared to the U.S. effective tax rate.



Interim reporting requirements for applying separate, annual effective income tax rates to U.S. and Canadian operations, combined with the seasonal impact of Canadian operations, will cause significant variations in the Companys quarterly consolidated effective income tax rates.



Outlook



The Company expects continued growth in travel in 2006.  Rental rates, which are highly competitive within the rental car industry, are increasing in 2006 and are expected to remain above 2005 levels due to efforts by the industry to increase prices to offset increased fleet costs.  Although vehicle manufacturers are reducing total capacity and reducing vehicle supply to the rental car industry, the Company believes it has adequate fleet to meet its forecasted growth.  Additionally, vehicle manufacturers have significantly increased industry vehicle costs by increasing Program Vehicle depreciation rates and lowering incentives for the 2006 model year.  The Company is shifting to a larger proportion of Non-Program Vehicles in its fleet, which will increase its exposure to fluctuations in the used car market.  With a strong economy, other costs such as interest rates may continue to rise.
Both higher vehicle depreciation and interest costs will negatively impact the Companys profits unless these increased costs can be passed on to customers through higher rental rates or the Company achieves other cost reductions.



The Company continues to benefit from the removal of unlimited vicarious liability exposure with the passage of the federal Highway Bill.  Because this new law was effective in August 2005, the majority of the 2006 year over year cost savings are expected to occur in the first and second quarters.  The Company has also implemented several cost savings initiatives that will reduce the Companys operating and administrative costs in the future.  The Company is continuing to pursue franchise acquisitions in 2006 and will increase its investments in improved IT systems, marketing initiatives and infrastructure to facilitate additional growth.



Seasonality



The Companys business is subject to seasonal variations in customer demand, with the summer vacation period representing the peak season for vehicle rentals.  During the peak season, the Company increases its rental fleet and workforce to accommodate increased rental activity.  As a result, any occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a material adverse effect on the annual performance of the Company.  The first and fourth quarters for the Companys rental operations are generally the weakest, when there is limited leisure travel and a greater potential for adverse weather conditions.  Many of the operating expenses such as rent, general insurance and administrative personnel are fixed and cannot be reduced during periods of decreased rental demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Companys primary uses of liquidity are for the purchase of vehicles for its rental and leasing fleets, non-vehicle capital expenditures, franchisee acquisitions, share repurchases and for working capital.  The Company uses both cash and letters of credit to support asset backed vehicle financing programs.  The Company also uses letters of credit or insurance bonds to secure certain commitments related to airport concession agreements, insurance programs, and for other purposes.



The Companys primary sources of
        liquidity are cash generated from operations, secured vehicle financing, the Revolving Credit Facility (hereinafter defined) and
        insurance bonds.  Cash generated by operating activities of $97.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily
        the result of net income, adjusted for depreciation and a reduction in outstanding vehicle manufacturers receivables, which
        was partially offset by other asset and liability changes.  The liquidity necessary for purchasing vehicles is primarily obtained
        from secured vehicle financing, most of which is proceeds from sale of asset backed notes, sales proceeds from disposal of used vehicles and cash
        generated by operating activities.  The asset backed notes require varying levels of credit enhancement or overcollateralization,
        which are provided by a combination of cash, vehicles and letters of credit.  These
        letters of credit are provided under the Companys Revolving Credit Facility.



The Company believes that its cash generated from operations, availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, insurance bonding programs and secured vehicle financing programs are adequate to meet its liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.  A significant portion of the secured vehicle financing consists of asset backed notes.  The Company generally issues additional notes each year to replace maturing notes and provide for growth in its fleet.  The Company believes the asset backed note market continues to be a viable source of vehicle financing.



Cash used in investing activities was $231.0 million.  The principal use of cash in investing activities was the purchase of revenue-earning vehicles, which totaled $1.5 billion, partially offset by $1.0 billion in proceeds from the sale of used revenue-earning vehicles and the reduction in restricted cash and investments of $330.9 million, due to increases in the rental fleet, during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  The Companys need for cash to finance vehicles is seasonal and typically peaks in the second and third quarters of the year when fleet levels build to meet seasonal rental demand.  The Company expects to continue to fund its revenue-earning vehicles with cash provided from operations and increased secured vehicle financing.  Restricted cash and investments, which totaled $460.6 million at March 31, 2006, are restricted for the acquisition of revenue-earning
vehicles and other specified uses as defined under the asset backed note program, the Canadian fleet securitization program and a like-kind exchange program.  The Company also used cash for non-vehicle capital expenditures of $10.7 million.  These expenditures consist primarily of airport facility improvements for the Companys rental locations and investments in information technology equipment and systems.  The Company also used $1.7 million of cash, net of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for franchisee acquisitions.  These expenditures were financed with cash provided from operations.



Cash provided by financing activities was $115.0 million primarily due to the issuance of $600.0 million in asset backed notes in March 2006, an increase of $50.0 million under the asset backed Variable Funding Note Purchase Facility (the Conduit Facility"), and an increase in other existing bank lines of credit of $45.3 million, partially offset by the maturity of asset backed notes totaling $175.0 million, a $376.6 million net decrease in commercial paper and share repurchases totaling $25.0 million under the share repurchase program.



The Company has significant requirements to maintain letters of credit and surety bonds to support its insurance programs and airport concession commitments.  At March 31, 2006, the Company had $70.2 million in letters of credit, including $59.6 million in  letters of credit already noted under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Revolving Credit Facility), and $39.2 million in surety bonds to secure these obligations.

Asset Backed Notes



The asset backed note program at
        March 31, 2006 was comprised of $1.93 billion in asset backed notes with maturities ranging from 2006 to 2011.  Borrowings under
        the asset backed notes are secured by eligible vehicle collateral.  Asset backed notes totaling $1.83 billion bear interest at
        fixed rates ranging from 3.64% to 6.04%, including certain floating rate notes swapped to fixed rates, and at floating rates on
        $100 million of LIBOR plus 0.17%.  On March 28, 2006, RCFC issued an additional $600 million of five-year asset backed notes
        consisting of floating rate notes at LIBOR plus 0.18%.  In conjunction with the asset backed notes issuance, the Company also
        entered into interest rate swap agreements to convert this floating rate debt to fixed rate debt at a 5.27% interest rate.



Conduit Facility



Effective March 28, 2006, the Conduit Facility was renewed for another 364-day period with a capacity of $425 million.



| | Commercial Paper Program and Liquidity Facility
| | -----------------------------------------------



On March 28, 2006, the Company renewed its commercial paper program (the Commercial Paper Program) for another 364-day period at a maximum size of $649 million backed by a renewal of the Liquidity Facility in the amount of $560 million.  At March 31, 2006, the Company had $184.5 million in commercial paper outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.



Vehicle Debt and Obligations



Vehicle manufacturer and bank lines of credit provided $311.0 million in capacity at March 31, 2006.  The Company had $211.5 million in borrowings outstanding under these lines at March 31, 2006.  All lines of credit are collateralized by the related vehicles.



The Company finances its Canadian vehicle fleet through a fleet securitization program.  Under this program, DTG Canada can obtain vehicle financing up to CND $300 million funded through a bank commercial paper conduit which expires May 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2006, DTG Canada had approximately CND $134.1 million (US $114.8 million) funded under this program.



Revolving Credit Facility



The Company has a $300 million five-year, senior secured, revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that expires on April 1, 2009.  The Revolving Credit Facility permits letter of credit usage up to $300 million and working capital borrowing up to $100 million.  The availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the Companys compliance with certain covenants, including a covenant that sets the maximum amount the Company can spend annually on the acquisition of non-vehicle capital assets, and certain financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a limitation on cash dividends and share repurchases.  As of March 31, 2006, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.  The Company had letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $167.7 million and no
working capital borrowings at March 31, 2006.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE
        AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------



The following information about the Companys market sensitive financial instruments constitutes a forward-looking statement.  The Companys primary market risk exposure is changing interest rates, primarily in the United States.  The Company manages interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate swap agreements.  All items described are non-trading and are stated in U.S. dollars.  Because a portion of the Companys debt is denominated in Canadian dollars, its carrying value is impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.  However, this foreign currency risk is mitigated by the underlying collateral which is the Canadian fleet.  The fair value of the interest rate swaps is calculated using projected market interest rates over the term of the related debt instruments as provided by the counter parties.



24









Based on the Companys level of
        floating rate debt (excluding notes with floating interest rates swapped into fixed rates) at March 31, 2006, a 50 basis point
        fluctuation in interest rates would have an approximate $5 million impact on the Companys expected pretax income on an
        annual basis.  This impact on pretax income would be reduced by earnings from cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
        and investments, which are invested on a short-term basis and subject to fluctuations in interest rates.  At March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $256.1 million and restricted cash and investments totaled $460.6 million.  The Company estimates that, for 2006, approximately 40% of its average debt will bear interest at floating rates.



At March 31, 2006, there were no significant changes in the Companys quantitative disclosures about market risk compared to December 31, 2005, which is included under Item 7A of the Companys most recent Form 10-K, except for the addition of the derivative financial instruments noted in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------



|a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|-- | ----------------------------------



The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms.  The disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Additionally, in designing the disclosure controls and procedures, the Companys management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.



As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.



|b) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------



There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------



Various legal actions, claims and
        governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company and its
        subsidiaries.  Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not
        predictable with assurance.  It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided
        unfavorably to the Company or the subsidiaries involved.  Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a
        material effect on the Company's consolidated operating results for a particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the
        estimated liability is recorded, the Company believes that any resulting liability should not materially affect its consolidated
        financial position.

(a)  On February 9, 2006, a new $300 million share repurchase program was authorized, replacing the $100 million program.  This change has been reflected in shares that may yet be purchased.



In February 2006, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program to replace the $100 million share repurchase program of which $44.7 million had been used to repurchase shares.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 601,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $41.62 per share totaling $25,026,000.  Since inception of the share repurchase programs, the Company has repurchased 2,152,900 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.40 per share totaling approximately $70 million, all of which were made in open market transactions.  At March 31, 2006, the $300 million share repurchase program has $275 million of remaining authorization to be completed by December 31, 2008.
