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 the three months ended March 31, 2011, 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 a net decrease of $0.6 million in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, depreciation rate changes in certain of our equipment rental operations resulted in a net decrease of $1.0 million in depreciation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our worldwide car rental operations sold approximately 30,600 and 42,300 non-program cars, respectively, a 27.7% year over year decrease primarily due to an increase in car rental demand.</td></tr></table> Note 6Depreciation 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.
