Budget Rent A Car
Budget Car Rental was founded in 1958 as a car rental company for the "budget-minded" renter. The year 2003 marks its 45th anniversary. Today, Budget Car Rental is a leading car and truck rental company that continues to focus on appealing to value-minded renters by offering quality vehicles and a rewarding rental experience.
Budget Car Rental is one of the world's best-known general-use car rental companies with over 1,800 locations in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand.
Budget Car Rental is owned by Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD), a diversified global provider of business and consumer services primarily within the real estate and travel sectors. As part of the Cendant Car Rental Group, Budget's 1,800 airport, downtown and suburban car rental offices and its over 3,000 U.S. truck rental dealers, serve an even mix of business and leisure travelers and meet the truck rental needs of self-movers and local and nationwide businesses.
Budget Car Rental focuses on building strong community relationships in the many cities in which they operate. To make the most of their corporate contributions, they concentrate their philanthropic efforts on national organizations that serve the needs of their children's health and personal growth, and on groups dedicated to providing families with the tools needed to cope with everyday challenges as well as natural disasters. Most often, Budget Car Rental donates its business services to these organizations in lieu of monetary donations.
On a national basis, Budget Car Rental has been proud to provide vehicles to the American Red Cross for disaster relief efforts across the country for many years. Locally, Budget Car Rental employees have supported neighborhood families by participating in holiday gift drives and school supply drives for families and children in Illinois, Texas, California and Orlando.
