Michel Taride, Group President of Hertz International,
commented: "We have enjoyed many years of a successful relationship
with Ryanair, but unfortunately we were not able to reach agreement
with the airline over a significant contractual dispute in spite of
considerable effort.
"The majority of Ryanair passengers who need car hire from the
Hertz brands in July and August are already booked and confirmed.
Any customer who wishes to book car rental and enjoy great service
at competitive rates can make arrangements directly with us.
Customers can also modify existing bookings on the Ryanair
website.
"Hertz deeply values all of its partnerships, some which have
been going for more than 20 years. We strongly believe in mutually
beneficial partnerships and would never take lightly the decision
to end a key relationship.
"We are confident in our legal position and intend to pursue
this matter vigorously through the courts."
