Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(8)Income Taxes The consolidated income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s consolidated effective income tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The difference between the consolidated effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily attributable to foreign income taxes, state income taxes and the effect of certain permanent differences. CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company’s estimated full year effective tax rate, before certain non-recurring discrete items, was 8.0% at June 30, 2015, compared to 9.0% at June 30, 2014. The lower estimated full year effective tax rate at June 30, 2015 was due primarily to higher pretax income from foreign operations where statutory rates are lower than the U.S. income tax rates. The Company recognizes in the financial statements a liability for tax uncertainty if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million, which if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. Total accrued interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2015. The Company does not believe the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2015 will change for the remainder of 2015.
