About Avis Budget Group

Avis Budget Group provides mobility solutions, primarily vehicle rental, through its Avis, Budget and Zipcar brands and several regional brands. It also licenses these trademarks to licensees in areas where it does not operate directly. The company and its licensees operate in approximately 180 countries through roughly 10,000 rental locations, with company-operated locations concentrated in North America, Europe and Australasia. It reports two segments, Americas and International. Revenue depends on rental volume, measured in rental days, and pricing, measured as revenue per day. Profitability depends heavily on fleet utilization and per-unit fleet costs, meaning vehicle depreciation, lease charges and gains or losses on vehicle sales. The fleet is largely financed with asset-backed vehicle program debt, including through Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC, alongside corporate debt. In Q3 2026 the company operated an average rental fleet of about 707,000 vehicles, focused on fleet discipline and record utilization, received a $650 million settlement payment from Pentwater Capital Management, and moved to redeem its 5.750% Senior Notes due 2027.
