I went to Wikipedia to search company history Dollar auto rental. There wasn't a lot of information, but here's what I found.

Dollar Rent a Car was founded in 1966 by Henry Caruso in Los Angeles, California. In 1990 it was acquired by Chrysler. It was originally called Dollar a Day Rent A Car because it had a standardized daily rate of one dollar for sedans.

By 1968, Dollar rental car's rates were raised to keep competitive prices while maintaining competition with other rental car companies.

Dollar auto rental has more than 647 worldwide locations in 53 countries, with a significant presence in Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America, including more than 358 in the United States and Canada.
