ATLANTA — Manheim and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group broadened their remarketing relationship Tuesday. Officials revealed eight new Manheim facilities have been added to Dollar Thrifty's remarketing program.

These locations include Manheim Chicago, Manheim Lakeland, Manheim Louisville, Manheim Ohio, Manheim Pensacola, Manheim Phoenix, Manheim San Francisco Bay and Manheim Texas Hobby.

Officials emphasized Dollar Thrifty will offer inventory at these new locations as well as the 26 facilities that it already works with. They estimated the partnership expansion will incrementally add 10,000 units year-over-year.

In addition to the new locations, dealers also can purchase Dollar Thrifty inventory on OVE.com, Manheim's online wholesale vehicle marketplace. OVE.com hosts weekly Dollar Thrifty Online Event Sales, beginning each Friday at noon and ending the following Monday at 5 p.m.

"We already know that Manheim's multiple in-lane and online channels are proven solutions for moving our inventory fast and effectively," explained Ken Smith, executive director of vehicle remarketing for Dollar Thrifty.

"More locations mean that we'll be reaching an even broader audience of buyers, helping us to further reduce our days-to-sell time," Smith continued.

Nick Peluso, senior vice president of customer management at Manheim also chimed in about the expanded partnership with Dollar Thrifty.

"Like Dollar Thrifty, we're always driven to help customers save time and money, no matter how quickly their inventory volume needs change," Peluso stressed.

"We're revved up and ready to turn Dollar Thrifty's added sales success into exciting new buying opportunities for buyers around the country," he concluded.
