In the first quarter of 2015, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the Dollar Thrifty headquarters campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which the Company is currently marketing for sale, using market and income approaches to value the long-lived assets, including inputs such as expected cash flows and recent comparable transactions. Based on the impairment assessment, the Company recorded a charge of $6 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's statement of operations.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $11 million in charges associated with U.S. Car Rental service equipment and assets deemed to have no future use, of which $4 million is included in direct operating and $7 million is included in other (income) expense in the Company's statement of operations.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company terminated a business relationship.
