Does Dollar Rent A Car have any prior legal actions against it?

According to the 2025 FDD, Dollar Rent A Car has no prior legal actions against it. The Franchise Disclosure Document states "None" under the heading "Prior Actions – Dollar". However, the document does list several pending legal actions involving Dollar Rent A Car, its parent entities, and franchisees.

Specifically, Dollar Rent A Car and Thrifty Rent-A-Car System Incorporated are pursuing a damages claim against Yunus Moolla, Imraan Moolla, The Trustees Of Safy Trust, and Springs Car Wholesalers (Pty) Ltd, after the expiration of SAFY's franchise agreement in December 2021 for territories in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Mauritius. This action is currently active in court. There are also several other legal actions involving the parent entities of Dollar Rent A Car, such as The Hertz Corporation.

Prospective franchisees should be aware of these pending legal actions, as they could potentially impact the brand's reputation or financial stability. While Dollar Rent A Car itself has no prior legal actions, the ongoing disputes and the involvement of its parent entities warrant careful consideration. It would be prudent for potential franchisees to discuss these matters with Dollar Rent A Car to understand the potential implications and the franchisor's strategy for managing these legal challenges.
