        from 35M this year to 70M passengers per annum in 2012. Ryanair and
        Hertz are together gaining increasing marketshare of car rental unit
        sales throughout Europe as Ryanair's low fares take-off all over Europe.
        Ryanair's passengers have never had a better opportunity to avail of the
        lowest airfares and best value car rates going".
