Vanguard Car Rental -- which owns and operates the Alamo and National brands -- has filed a complaint against Orbitz Worldwide in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
Following is Orbitz' response to Vanguard's lawsuit:
"Vanguard's new lawsuit against Orbitz lacks merit.
Vanguard is apparently upset with the way that Orbitz sorts its search results, which provides Orbitz' customers with valued rental car choices.
Vanguard wants those results to be sorted in a way that is not required, and which would take away reservations from other valued suppliers.
The bottom line is that Vanguard is trying to use a lawsuit to get a sorting result from Orbitz that Vanguard and Orbitz did not agree to. In short, Vanguard is trying to use its lawsuit to get something for nothing.
Orbitz will vigorously defend itself against Vanguard's claim and remains confident the court will rule against Vanguard's baseless attempt to redefine the parties' relationship."
