Frank Olson, who died last week at 91, was a giant in the rental car industry. He led Hertz as Chairman and CEO for 23 years before retiring in 1999, during which time he made an indelible mark on our organization. Mr. Olson helped make Hertz into a global car rental leader and strengthened our culture of excellence and customer service. We are grateful for his many contributions to Hertz and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. https://lnkd.in/etFKnbVu.

Frank Olson contributed immensely in making Hertz the iconic brand it is still today. He was a gentleman with a strong personality and great values, who was leading by example. His reputation within the industry was second to none and he made all of us proud to be part of his team and part of Hertz. This unique way in which he was conducting business review meetings made these memorable learning experiences. I have been extremely lucky to join Hertz under his leadership and enjoy an unforgettable 38 year long journey. My condolences to his wife Sarah, his family and all the former colleagues with whom we share wonderful memories.

Let some of us drive one home, at least when we need to. It really looks bad when my car has issues. I spent my life savings on a car. I know I'd rather invest or put $250.00 plus into my savings accounts investment plans, than pay for a car bill as a benefit to us all. I also see it helping with bills, I pay for my gas. I also see it helping employees with knowledge of features & benefits. Customers first, money drives business. The companys success as a whole in one, it's a win win. Pros & Cons, keep compromising and taking the business to the top. Over turn is not good, we all need to love what we do, feeling secured is a wonderful feeling to invest time into. Time is money.. Let's Go.. hopefully my car starts, that's embarrassing when it doesn't, it's also a waste of money. I own three.

Frank was a gentleman and a true leader who performed successfully at Hertz and United Airlines. He led the car rental organization to be the best in the industry. I was fortunate to work for him as EVP and President International. He made a strong mark on my career and will always be grateful. My sincere condolences to his wife Sarah and his family.

Sono stato rovinato da Hertz mi hanno dato una auto rotta ed io e la mia bambina habbiamo rischiato la vita , riconsegnata con il carro attrezzi dopo 12 ore mi hanno addebitato 2940 euro sulla carta di credito e Google e truspilot hanno il coraggio di rimuovere le recenzioni propongo una azione di classe e denuncia antitrust #hertz #pericolosa #truffa +393895330996

I was privileged to work at Hertz, under his leadership. Met him once and he quickly put an anxious manager at ease with his kind words. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Hertz Family.
