Hertz Launches New iPhone Application and Self Service Kiosks Across Europe

UXBRIDGE, England, October 19, 2010 - Hertz Europe today announced plans to accelerate its adoption
of self service technology by rolling out Self Service Express touch screen
kiosks from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) (
www.ncr.com/products_and_services/software/travel/ncr_car_rental.jsp)
at selected locations across nine countries in Europe for all customers (not
just members-only) who have prepaid for their rental. This announcement comes
as Hertz launches a free reservations application for the iPhone in 18
languages for customers in Europe.

The Hertz iPhone application, which has already enjoyed
widespread popularity in the U.S., allows customers to make reservations,
save their Hertz #1 Club member number, search and find nearby Hertz
locations, save favourite locations and receive special promotions via their
mobile devices. The Hertz iPhone application is available for download on
www.hertz.co.uk/app

Similar to an airline check-in kiosk, the Self Service Express
touch screen kiosk is a reservation-based system that collects the customer's
personal information and identifies the customer's reservation. It then
completes the rental car pick-up process, sending the customer on his or her
way quickly. In addition, the solution allows Hertz customers to select and
purchase upgrades, optional insurance and waiver products, fuel options and
add-ons such as child seats and the Hertz NeverLost(R) in-car satellite
navigation system.

The Self Service Express Kiosks complement the Hertz Worldwide
Online Check-in program, which allows customers to begin the check-in process
in the comfort of their home or office before they travel.

"Hertz offers customers a wide range of options currently
unrivalled in the car rental industry to help them get on the road faster.
With Worldwide Online Check-In, #1 Club Gold, and now Self Service Express
Kiosks and a comprehensive iPhone reservations platform, Hertz continues to
lead the industry in innovation for customers," said Michel Taride,
President, Hertz International.

An NCR study, conducted by BuzzBack Market Research, shows
that around 69 per cent of Europeans would be more likely to choose a travel
provider that offered them greater control over managing their entire travel
experience using self service solutions. This includes searching for,
confirming or making changes to car rental as well as flight and hotel
bookings.

"Consumers are demanding more control over how, when and where
they interact with travel providers using multiple self service channels,"
said Theresa Heinz, General Manager, NCR Travel. "The convergence of web and
touch screen technologies helps to cut queues and ensures consumers are able
to make last minute modifications to their bookings so they can get on with
their holiday or business trip without delay."

The kiosks use a highly reliable Common Use Self Service
(CUSS) software platform that has already been adopted by many airlines to
enable customers to check-in quickly and easily for their flights. NCR is
also providing Hertz with comprehensive hardware support services, including
remote management and helpdesk assistance on a global basis.

The Hertz Self Service Express Kiosks are already available at the
following airports in Europe: Bergamo Orio al Serio, Milan Linate, Milan
Malpensa, Rome Ciampino, Rome Fiumicino, Pisa (Italy); Edinburgh, London
Heathrow, London Stansted, Prestwick (UK); Malaga (Spain); and Frankfurt
Hahn (Germany). Further roll-out plans are underway in Belgium, France,
Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The company also plans to enable
the kiosks to accept non-prepaid tariffs in early 2011.
