TULSA, Okla., July 21, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Dollar Rent A Car, a subsidiary of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: DTG), is giving travel agents a special perk as a thank-you for their business -- a 20 percent discount on their next car rental.

The discount -- available at all Dollar Rent A Car locations in the U.S. and Canada -- is for travel agents in the U.S. and Canada with an official IATAN or IATA card. To receive this non-commissionable discount, agents should print out the "20% discount" coupon available at http://www.travelagent.dollar.com. In order to receive the discount, simply make your reservation and bring the coupon along with a valid IATAN or IATA card to the car rental counter and the discount will be applied.

"Travel agents are great at taking care of their own customer's needs, but DOLLAR thought it was high time they got some of that special attention for themselves," said Greg Billingsley, Director, Consortia Development and Travel Industry Sales. "Dollar Rent A Car is grateful for the hard work travel agents do on behalf of their clients. We hope they'll take the opportunity to save on their next car rental from DOLLAR."

A 24-hour advance reservation is required to receive the discount. The travel agent discount applies to time and mileage only. The discount is available on all standard rates for any vehicle rental from any participating location in the U.S. and Canada.
