Dollar Moves Into the FASTLANE
    TULSA, Okla., April 27 -- Dollar Rent A Car has introduced a
new way to rent vehicles.  From reservations to pick up and return, the
FASTLANE(SM) Express Rental Program is the quickest and most efficient method
to rent vehicles at more than 50 DOLLAR(R) locations in the United States.
    For quick pickups, FASTLANE members can make reservations via the
exclusive toll-free number (877-253-9450).  When members arrive at the DOLLAR
airport counter, their personal profile and rental information is quickly
printed, sending them on their way immediately.  When returning a rental
vehicle, FASTLANE members will be greeted by a DOLLAR agent in the parking
lot.  A hand-held computer will print a receipt at the car and get you to your
next destination promptly.
    Frequent flyers may earn discounts and incentives plus mileage points with
DOLLAR airline partners for FASTLANE rentals.
    For a limited time, joining the FASTLANE Express Rental Program is free.
Anyone can join by visiting the DOLLAR Web site, http://www.dollar.com, and clicking
