For the full year 2009, Hertz sees revenues of $6.7-$7 billion and EPS of $0.12-$0.15, versus the consensus of $7.45 billion and a loss of $0.23, respectively.

CEO Mark P. Frissora said, "car rental demand in the U.S. and Europe has stabilized and we are experiencing better-than-anticipated summer peak reservation build in both markets.
