Exhibit 10.1

Employee Stock Option Agreement

This Employee Stock Option Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2007, between Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the Employee whose name appears on the signature page hereof, is being entered into pursuant to the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan.  The meaning of capitalized terms may be found in Section 6.

The Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.              Grant of Options

(a)   Confirmation of Grant.  The Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective as of the date hereof, its grant to the Employee of Options to purchase the number of Common Shares specified on the signature page hereof.  The Options are not intended to be incentive stock options under the Code.  This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Options are subject to, the terms of the Plan.  If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

(b)   Option Price.  Each share covered by an Option shall have the Option Price specified on the signature page hereof.

Section 2.              Vesting and Exercisability

(a)   Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a) or Section 2(b) of this Agreement, the Options shall become vested in four equal annual installments on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the continuous employment of the Employee with the Company until the applicable vesting date; provided that if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated in a Special Termination (i.e., by reason of the Employee’s death or Disability), any Options held by the Employee shall immediately vest as of the effective date of such Special Termination.

(b)   Discretionary Acceleration.  The Board, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting or exercisability of all or a portion of the Options, at any time and from time to time.

(c)   Exercise.  Once vested in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Options may be exercised at any

time and from time to time prior to the date such Options terminate pursuant to Section 3.  Options may only be exercised with respect to whole Common Shares and must be exercised in accordance with Section 4.

Section 3.              Termination of Options

(a)   Normal Termination Date.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 5, the Options shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Normal Termination Date”), if not exercised prior to such date.

(b)   Early Termination.  If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, any Options held by the Employee that have not vested before the effective date of such termination of employment (determined without regard to any statutory or deemed or express contractual notice period) or that do not become vested on such date in accordance with Section 2 shall terminate immediately upon such termination of employment (determined without regard to any statutory or deemed or express contractual notice period) and, if the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause, all Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall automatically terminate immediately upon such termination.  All vested Options held by the Employee following the effective date of a termination of employment (the “Covered Options”) shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (i) the 60th day following the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment (determined without regard to any deemed or express statutory or contractual notice period), (ii) the 180th day in the case of a Special Termination or a retirement from active service on or after the Employee reaches normal retirement age, (iii) the Normal Termination Date or (iv) the cancellation of the Options pursuant to Section 5(a), and if not exercised within such period the Options shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such period.

Section 4.              Manner of Exercise.

(a)   General.  The Employee may exercise any vested Options by giving notice to the Company or a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which shall state the Employee’s election to exercise the Option and the number of whole shares with respect to which the Options are being exercised (the “Exercise

2

Shares”) and the aggregate Option Price for such Exercise Shares (the “Exercise Price”).  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, (i) on or before the date of exercise, the Employee shall deliver to the Company full payment for the Exercise Shares in United States dollars in cash, or cash equivalents satisfactory to the Company, in an amount equal to the Exercise Price plus any required withholding taxes or other similar taxes, charges or fees and (ii) the Company shall register the issuance of the Exercise Shares on its records (or direct such issuance to be registered by the Company’s transfer agent).  The Company may require the Employee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise, or (ii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws or any other law.

(b)   Restrictions on Exercise.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part, and no Exercise Shares shall be delivered unless (i) the purchase of the Exercise Shares shall be exempt from registration under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, and applicable non-U.S. securities laws, or the Exercise Shares shall have been registered under such laws and (ii) all applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding requirements have been satisfied.

Section 5.              Change in Control

(a)   Vesting and Cancellation.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) or Section 5(c), in the event of a Change in Control, all then-outstanding Options (whether vested or unvested) shall be canceled in exchange for a payment having a value equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the product of the Change in Control Price multiplied by the aggregate number of shares covered by all such Options immediately prior to the Change in Control over (ii) the aggregate Option Price for all such shares, to be paid as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the Change in Control.

(b)   Alternative Award.  Notwithstanding Section 5(a), no cancellation, termination, or settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any Option if the Board reasonably determines prior to the Change in Control that the Employee shall receive an Alternative Award meeting the requirements of the Plan.

3

(c)   Limitation of Benefits.  Unless otherwise provided in any other written agreement between the Employee and the Company or a Subsidiary, if, whether as a result of accelerated vesting, the grant of an Alternative Award or otherwise, the Employee would receive any payment, deemed payment or other benefit as a result of the operation of Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) that, together with any other payment, deemed payment or other benefit the Employee may receive under any other plan, program, policy or arrangement, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under section 280G of the Code, then, notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, the payments, deemed payments or other benefits such Employee would otherwise receive under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess parachute payment and such Employee shall have no further rights or claims with respect thereto.  If the preceding sentence would result in a reduction of the payments, deemed payments or other benefits the Employee would otherwise receive on an after-tax basis by more than 5%, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek the approval of the Company’s shareholders in the manner provided for in section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to such reduced payments or other benefits (if the Company is eligible to do so), so that such payments would not be treated as “parachute payments” for these purposes (and therefore would cease to be subject to reduction pursuant to this Section 5(c)).
