PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights material information about our business and about this offering of notes. This is a summary of
material information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and incorporated by reference and is not complete and does not
contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of our business and this offering,
you should read this entire prospectus, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," as well as the consolidated financial
statements, the related notes thereto and the other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
Company Overview
We operate two of the most recognized brands in the global vehicle rental industry through Avis and Budget, and the world's
leading car sharing network, Zipcar. Avis is a leading rental car supplier positioned to serve the premium commercial and leisure
segments of the travel industry and Budget is a leading rental car supplier focused primarily on more value-conscious segments of
the industry. We are a leading vehicle rental operator in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and certain other
regions we serve. We and our licensees operate the Avis, Budget and/or Zipcar brands in approximately 175 countries throughout
the world. We generally maintain a leading share of airport car rental revenue in North America, Europe, Australia and New
Zealand, and we operate one of the leading truck rental businesses in the United States.
Our car rental business enjoys significant benefits from operating two distinct brands that target different industry segments
but share the same fleet, maintenance facilities, systems, technology and administrative infrastructure. We believe that Avis and
Budget both enjoy complementary demand patterns with mid-week commercial demand balanced by weekend leisure demand. In
2012, we generated total revenues of $7,357 million. The Avis, Budget and Budget Truck brands accounted for approximately
70%, 25% and 5% of our revenue, respectively, in 2012.
On average, our rental fleet totaled more than 496,000 vehicles and we completed more than 29 million vehicle rental
transactions worldwide in 2012. In 2012, we derived approximately 71% of our $5.3 billion in total car rental time and mileage
revenue from on-airport locations and approximately 29% of our time and mileage revenue from off-airport locations, which we
refer to as our local market business. We also license the use of the Avis and Budget trademarks to licensees in areas in which we
do not operate directly. Our brands have an extended global reach with more than 10,000 car and truck rental locations throughout
the world, including approximately 4,700 car rental locations operated by our licensees. We rent our fleet of approximately
27,000 Budget trucks through a network of approximately 1,700 dealer-operated and 350 Company-operated locations throughout
the continental United States.
We categorize our operations in three reporting segments: North America, consisting of our Avis and Budget car rental
operations in the United States, our Avis and Budget vehicle rental operations in Canada, and our Zipcar car sharing operations;
International, consisting of our Avis and Budget vehicle rental operations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South
America, Central America, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand; and Truck Rental, consisting of our Budget truck rental
operations in the United States. In 2012:

·
North America. Our North America segment generated approximately 86 million rental days and average time and

mileage revenue per day of $40.22 with an average rental fleet of approximately 329,000 vehicles;

·
International. Our International segment generated approximately 36 million rental days and average time and mileage

revenue per day of $43.27 with an average rental fleet of approximately 140,000 vehicles; and

Table of Contents
·
Truck Rental. Our Truck Rental segment generated approximately 4 million rental days and average time and mileage

revenue per day of $71.64 with an average rental fleet of approximately 27,000 trucks.
In 2012, revenue increased as North American travel demand grew and our results included the results of Avis Europe for a
full year compared to only part of the year in 2011. We focused on efforts to integrate our European operations and grow our
brands globally. We continue to benefit from our cost-reduction efforts, including our Performance Excellence process
improvement initiative, which has helped us generate more than $300 million in annual cost savings and other benefits since the
program was launched in 2007. As part of the expansion of the Company's global operations, we have expanded the program into
Europe and Asia. We have achieved cost savings in numerous ways, including through:


·
implementation of process improvements impacting virtually all areas of our business;

·
reductions in operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, including significant reductions in staff, many

of which were trimmed from fixed and semi-fixed overhead;

·
a review of location, segment and customer profitability to identify and respond appropriately to unprofitable aspects

of our businesses;

·
targeted price increases and changes to our sales, marketing and affinity programs in order to improve revenue per day

and overall profitability;


·
reductions in fleet costs and further consolidation of purchasing programs;


·
further consolidation of customer-facing and back-office functions and locations across our operations; and


·
reduction in costs, primarily general and administrative expenses, as we integrate the operations of Avis Europe.
In 2012, we completed more than 29 million vehicle rental transactions worldwide. We retained approximately 98% of our
existing commercial contracts and maintained, expanded or entered into marketing alliances with key marketing partners. In 2012,
Avis was named North America's Leading Car Hire and Europe's Leading Business Car Hire by the World Travel Awards, and
received other numerous awards. Avis was also again named the leading car rental company in customer loyalty by the Brand
Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index for the 13th consecutive year.
In 2012, we maintained a diverse car rental fleet, in which no vehicle manufacturer represented more than 21% of our 2012
fleet purchases, and we continued to adjust our fleet levels to be consistent with demand. We continue to utilize sophisticated
yield-management technology to optimize our pricing and fleet planning, and we continue to analyze and streamline our operations
to gain efficiencies. In addition, our approximately 29,000 employees worldwide continue to provide reliable, high-quality
vehicle rental services that foster customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.
Zipcar Overview and Strategy
In March 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Zipcar, the leading car sharing network. The acquisition increases
the Company's growth potential and its ability to better serve a greater variety of customer transportation needs.
Founded in 2000, Zipcar operates a membership-based car sharing business with over 790,000 members, also known as
"Zipsters," in more than 20 major metropolitan areas and on more than 300 college campuses in the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, Spain and Austria. Zipcar provides its members self-service

devices. Once the vehicle is reserved, a member unlocks the vehicle with his or her keyless entry card (called a "Zipcard") and
drives away. Zipcar's all-inclusive rates include gas, insurance and other costs associated with car ownership so its members can
easily estimate the total cost of their trips. Members can choose the make, model, type and even the color of the Zipcar they want
depending on their specific needs and desires for each trip and the available Zipcars in their neighborhood. Upon returning the
Zipcar, the member locks the vehicle and walks away. We believe Zipcar provides its members a convenient, cost-effective and
enjoyable alternative to car ownership.
Zipcar Business Strategy
We intend to aggressively pursue the following strategies to grow our Zipcar business:
Increase Awareness and Adoption in Existing Markets. We plan to expand our Zipcar membership base through a
combination of awareness campaigns, including advertising, member referrals, community events, search engine marketing,
public relations and online banner advertising. We also plan to increase our Zipcar membership base by expanding the number of
businesses, government agencies and universities that Zipcar serves within its existing markets, as well as new markets where the
Company's existing car rental presence will help enable the introduction of Zipcar's car sharing services. We expect Zipcar to
continue to expand its relationships with businesses, governments and affinity groups, including by leveraging the Company's
existing relationships, to expand awareness and usage of Zipcar's car sharing services.
Expand into New Markets. We plan to continue and to accelerate the expansion of Zipcar into new international and
domestic markets both organically and through efforts enabled by the Company's pre-existing operations. Zipcar's market
expansion strategy is based on its experience and expertise in identifying and expanding into attractive new markets that can
support car sharing. Zipcar has historically expanded its operations in the United States and Europe through a combination of
organic growth and acquisitions. We plan to add new cities to the Zipcar network, through continued organic growth as well as
potentially through acquisitions and/or joint ventures or licensing relationships, in the future.
Leverage Zipcar's Network to Broaden Relationships with Members. Zipcar members are critical to Zipcar's success
and we believe that continuously improving the member experience translates into longer and more active member relationships.
Zipcar has embarked on numerous customer-based initiatives to enhance the Zipcar experience for members and we will continue
to seek ways to leverage the Zipcar network in order to broaden Zipcar's product and service offerings and to provide members
with personalized and localized mobility services for urban and university lifestyles. In addition, new mobility models and
technologies, including peer-to-peer, station-less and one-way car sharing, ridesharing and smart parking are complementary to
Zipcar's car sharing services. We view the growth of the mobility category as an opportunity to exploit the network effects and
business synergies that Zipcar can bring to the broader mobility space.
Achieve Significant Synergies. We expect to achieve significant synergies within the first two years of our acquisition of
Zipcar based on numerous opportunities that we have identified in the areas of cost reductions, enhanced fleet utilization and
revenue growth. We plan to reduce Zipcar's costs as a percentage of revenue through refinements and reductions in a number of
areas, including fleet financing costs, fleet maintenance costs and other operating, general and administrative expenses. We also
plan for Zipcar to realize significant fleet utilization benefits and savings by combining our car rental and car-sharing fleets at
times to reduce the number of under-utilized Zipcars during the week and to better satisfy Zipcar's unmet weekend demand. In the
area of revenue growth, we plan to expand Zipcar's product offerings, increasing its number of downtown locations, offering
one-way usage of Zipcars at airports, and expanding Zipcar's business members and partnership opportunities through its
well-established corporate and affinity relationships.
