The Company has operating and finance leases for rental locations, corporate offices, vehicle rental fleet and equipment.

Concession fees other than minimum annual guaranteed amounts are not included in the measurement of operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, and are recorded as variable lease expense as incurred.
