Depreciation rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on management's routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were adjusted on certain vehicles in our car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. These depreciation rate changes resulted in net increases of $19.1 million, $13.2 million and $36.6 million in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in increases of $3.6 million and $6.1 million and a net decrease of $3.9 million in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 158,500, 154,300, 189,300 non-program cars, respectively, a 2.7% increase in 2010 versus 2009 primarily due to a higher average fleet size.</td></tr></table> Note 7Depreciation of Revenue Earning Equipment and Lease Charges Depreciation of revenue earning equipment and lease charges includes thefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis element encapsulates the entire disclosure pertaining to depreciation of revenue earning equipment.
