Todd Poste: Executive Vice President, Global Supply & Administration
Hertz’s move to Florida started with the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty of Tulsa, OK. To create one culture between Dollar Thrifty and Hertz, we believed it was important to bring both organizations together. We realized that moving the people from Tulsa to New Jersey probably wasn’t the best idea so we started to look outside our borders for the best place to settle.
The non-financial considerations of relocating are the employees and how best to retain them. We felt our employees would transfer to Florida readily due to the climate.
The financial considerations were the incentives offered by the various states. In addition to incentives offered by Florida, the state is ranked 5th when comparing the best tax climate for businesses. Lee County offered the best economic incentives for corporate headquarters and the Coconut Point property already had site services and was ready to be developed.
We currently have about 240 people in our temporary Naples office and we’re bringing in another 240 people to a temporary office space in Bonita Springs (the old Robb & Stucky store on US41) in February.
