Why Avis Is Not the Next Hertz

Why Avis Is Not the Next Hertz

One question facing many investors during the COVID-19 pandemic: Will Avis (NASDAQ: CAR) follow rival Hertz (NYSE: HTZ) into bankruptcy? After all, it's easy to imagine that Avis's business would also be struggling mightily with transportation and travel statistics plunging.
