Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hertz Global Holdings is expanding its asset-backed financing to support its rental car fleets in the U.S. and Europe. Hertz Vehicle Financing III issued new Class E Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes across multiple series with total principal of $221,421,000, carrying fixed interest rates between about 10.67% and 12.54%. About $22 million of these Class E Notes were purchased by affiliates of CK Amarillo LP, with the rest bought by third parties. The net proceeds are expected to fund future vehicle purchases or refinance existing fleet debt.

Hertz also extended the commitment termination date for its U.S. Series 2021-A variable funding Class A notes by one year to May 5, 2028, with a Class A maximum principal amount of $3.240 billion until May 7, 2027 and $2.980 billion thereafter. In Europe, affiliates amended their ABS program to extend the maturity of Class A, B and C notes to April 2028 and increase aggregate commitments to €1,293,062,500 for fleet financing in several countries.

Insights

Hertz adds higher-coupon ABS and extends large fleet funding lines.

Hertz is deepening its reliance on securitization to finance U.S. and European rental fleets. The new U.S. Class E notes add $221,421,000 of fixed-rate, subordinated funding with coupons ranging from about 10.67% to 12.54%, reflecting their junior position in the capital stack.

In parallel, the company extended its U.S. Series 2021-A variable funding facility’s Class A commitment termination to May 5, 2028, with maximum principal of $3.240 billion stepping down to $2.980 billion. European ABS commitments were increased to €1,293,062,500 and maturities pushed to April 2028, supporting ongoing fleet needs across multiple countries.

Overall, the filing shows substantial secured borrowing capacity at relatively high fixed rates, balanced by longer-dated, diversified funding. Actual risk and flexibility will depend on fleet performance and maintaining collateral coverage and covenants disclosed in the underlying ABS documents.

The occurrence and continuation of an amortization event related to a series of notes may result in HVF III being required to pay principal on such series of notes earlier than anticipated. Amortization events include, among other things, the failure to pay principal or interest in a timely manner, the failure to maintain sufficient assets compared to the outstanding amount of debt, the failure to maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of reserve accounts or letters of credit, the presence of certain liens on HVF III’s assets, any misrepresentations by HVF III, any covenant defaults and defaults by either HVF III or THC, as administrator of HVF III under the Administration Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2021, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2021. In the event that one or more amortization events occurs and is continuing, holders of such series of notes may force HVF III or BNYM on their behalf to sell vehicles and, if a default occurs under the Master Motor Vehicle Operating Lease and Servicing Agreement (HVF III) (the “Lease”), dated as of June 29, 2021, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2021, the holders of such series of notes may force THC and/or DTG Operations, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of THC, each as a lessee under the Lease, to return vehicles for sale by HVF III. Proceeds of any such sales made during the enforcement of remedies are required to repay the applicable series of notes and any notes issued by HVF III in the future.

 

The net proceeds of the Class E Notes are expected to be used for the future acquisition or refinancing of eligible vehicles to be leased under the Lease or, in certain circumstances, any excess of the proceeds could be distributed by HVF III to THC.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Class E Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of (i) the Series 2022-5 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (ii) the Series 2023-2 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (iii) the Series 2023-4 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (iv) the Series 2024-1 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (v) the Series 2024-2 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (vi) the Series 2025-1 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (vii) the Series 2025-2 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (viii) the Series 2025-3 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (ix) the Series 2025-4 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.9 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, (x) the Series 2025-5 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, and (xi) the Series 2025-6 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.11 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Series 2021-A Supplement

 

On April 28, 2026, Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC (“HVF III”), a wholly-owned, special-purpose and bankruptcy remote subsidiary of THC, and THC entered into Amendment No. 2 to Third Amended and Restated Series 2021-A Supplement (“Amendment No. 2 to Third A&R Series 2021-A Supplement”) by and among HVF III, as issuer, THC, as administrator, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as program agent, and BNYM, as trustee.

The Class A Maximum Principal Amount until May 7, 2027 is $3.240 billion, and thereafter the Class A Maximum Principal Amount is $2.980 billion until May 5, 2028, after giving effect to the terms of Amendment No. 2 to Third A&R Series 2021-A Supplement.

 

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 2 to Third A&R Series 2021-A Supplement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 2 to Third A&R Series 2021-A Supplement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

European ABS Amendments

 

On April 28, 2026, affiliates of THC entered into amendments to the securitization platform for financing activities relating to such affiliates' vehicle fleets Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain (the “European ABS”) in order to: (i) extend the maturity of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes issued thereunder to April 2028; (ii) increase the commitment size to an aggregate principal amount equal to €1,293,062,500; and (iii) document certain updates to the list of committed note purchasers, conduit investors and funding agents named therein (the “Amendments”).

 

 

Pursuant to the European ABS, International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. (“IFF No. 2”), an indirect, special purpose subsidiary of THC, is party to an issuer facility agreement originally dated September 25, 2018 between, among others, IFF No. 2, Hertz Europe Limited (as Administrator), BNPP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (the “Security Trustee”), and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (as Administrative Agent) (the “Issuer Facility Agreement”), which includes defined terms as set forth in a Master Definitions and Constructions Agreement (the “MDCA”). IFF No. 2’s proceeds from the Issuer Facility Agreement are made available on a revolving basis to certain special purpose fleet subsidiaries of THC (the “Fleet Companies”) for their purchases of rental vehicles, and those vehicle fleets serve as the underlying collateral for the Issuer Facility Agreement. Certain of THC’s international operating subsidiaries lease the vehicles from the Fleet Companies for rental to customers. THC has guaranteed certain obligations of the international operating subsidiaries to the Fleet Companies pursuant to a Performance Guarantee and Indemnity Deed dated December 21, 2021, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the "Guarantee").

 

In connection with the Amendments, each of the Issuer Facility Agreement and the MDCA were amended and restated, effective as of April 28, 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantee was not amended pursuant to these Amendments.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the amendments to the Issuer Facility Agreement and the MDCA are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.13 and 10.14, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

FAQ

What new asset-backed notes did Hertz (HTZ) issue in this filing?

Hertz Vehicle Financing III issued new Class E Fixed Rate Rental Car Asset Backed Notes across multiple series with total principal of about $221,421,000. These subordinated notes sit below existing Class A–D tranches and carry fixed interest rates generally between about 10.67% and 12.54%.

How will Hertz use the proceeds from the new Class E ABS notes?

The net proceeds from the Class E Notes are expected to fund the future acquisition or refinancing of eligible rental vehicles under Hertz’s leasing structure. In some circumstances, excess proceeds from these securitizations may be distributed by Hertz Vehicle Financing III to The Hertz Corporation.

What portion of Hertz’s new Class E notes was bought by CK Amarillo affiliates?

Affiliates of CK Amarillo LP purchased approximately $22 million of the new Class E Notes. The remaining balance of the $221,421,000 aggregate principal amount was purchased by unaffiliated third parties, diversifying the investor base for Hertz’s fleet-backed securities.

How did Hertz change its U.S. Series 2021-A fleet financing facility?

Hertz extended, in the ordinary course, the commitment termination date for the Series 2021-A Class A Variable Funding Rental Car Asset Backed Notes by one year to May 5, 2028. The Class A maximum principal amount is $3.240 billion until May 7, 2027, then $2.980 billion through May 5, 2028.

What updates were made to Hertz’s European ABS fleet financing platform?

Affiliates of Hertz amended their European ABS platform to extend maturities of the Class A, B and C notes to April 2028 and increase aggregate commitments to about €1,293,062,500. The changes also updated the list of committed note purchasers, conduit investors and funding agents participating in the structure.

What repayment features apply to the new Class E notes issued by Hertz?

Unless an amortization event occurs, Hertz Vehicle Financing III expects to pay no principal until each series’ stated first principal payment date, then repay about one-sixth of the initial principal each period. Full repayment is targeted by each series’ stated legal final payment date in the tables.
