Acquisitions [Abstract] |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Acquisitions Avis and Budget LicenseesDuring the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed the acquisitions of various licensees in North America and Europe, for approximately $27 million, plus $21 million for acquired fleet. These investments were in-line with the Company’s strategy to re-acquire licensees when advantageous to expand its footprint of Company-operated locations. The acquired fleet was financed under the Company’s existing financing arrangements. In connection with these acquisitions, approximately $27 million was recorded in other intangibles related to license agreements. The license agreements are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of approximately two years. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized and is therefore subject to change.
