Dollar; Dollar Rent A Car lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Dollar; Dollar Rent A Car's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 7 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Dollar; Dollar Rent A Car itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 6 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
