Why Avis Is Not the Next Hertz

After all, it's easy to imagine that Avis's business would also be struggling mightily with transportation and travel statistics plunging. The truth is a bit of a mixed bag, and Avis's second quarter does show how abysmal business has been, but it also shows why Avis isn't likely to follow its rival into bankruptcy protection anytime soon.
