What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dollar Rent A Car's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 62 franchised outlets at the start of 2023. This number is part of a broader table that tracks the number of franchised and company-owned outlets over a three-year period. The table also shows the number of outlets at the end of each year and the net change in outlets.

It's important to note that while the total number of franchised outlets provides a general overview, it does not reflect the performance or distribution of these outlets across different states. Further details on specific state-level changes in outlet numbers are available elsewhere in the FDD, offering a more granular view of the franchise's footprint and activity.
