Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $30.6 million
, larger than the $2.7 million loss from a year earlier. Full-year net profit fell to $1.2 million from $51.7 million in 2006. "Although we were able to increase year-over-year rental pricing about one percent in the fourth quarter, it was not enough to offset the higher fleet costs," said president and CEO Gary Paxton. Dollar Thrifty in 2008 plans to expand "international sales, small business corporate accounts and the number of non-airport locations."
