FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on various facts and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “projects”, “estimates”, “plans”, “may increase”, “may fluctuate” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would”, “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

•

the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry and the impact such competition may have on pricing and rental volume;

•

an increase in our fleet costs as a result of an increase in the cost of new vehicles and/or a decrease in the price at which we dispose of used vehicles either in the used vehicle market or under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs;

•

a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars and/or their willingness or ability to make cars available to us or the rental car industry as a whole on commercially reasonable terms or at all;

•

a downturn in airline passenger traffic in the United States or in the other international locations in which we operate;

•

an occurrence or threat of terrorism, pandemic disease, natural disasters or military conflict in the locations in which we operate;

•

a decline in general economic conditions, or a decline in the housing market;

•

our dependence on third-party distribution channels;

•

a disruption or decline in rental activity, particularly during our peak season or in key market segments;

•

a significant increase in interest rates or in borrowing costs or a fluctuation in interest rates, which can impact the valuation of our derivatives;

•

our ability to successfully implement our business strategy for growth;

•

our ability to accurately estimate our future results;

•

our ability to successfully integrate operations upon the acquisition of other businesses, potentially including exercise of our option to purchase a majority interest in Carey Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Carey International, Inc.;

•

a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks;

•

our exposure to uninsured claims in excess of historic levels;

•

our failure or inability to comply with regulations or any changes in regulations;

•

any impact on us from the actions of our licensees, dealers and independent contractors;

•

substantial increases in fuel costs or decreases in fuel supply;

•

a disruption in our ability to obtain financing for our operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via the asset-backed securities and lending market;

•

risks related to our indebtedness, including our substantial amount of debt, our ability to incur substantially more debt, the restrictive and financial covenants in agreements and instruments governing our debt and the amount of cash required to service all of our indebtedness;

•

the terms of agreements among us and the former real estate, hospitality and travel distribution businesses following the separation of those businesses from us during third quarter 2006, when we were known as Cendant Corporation (the “Separation”), particularly with respect to the allocation of assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, commercial arrangements, the performance of each of the separated companies’ obligations under these agreements, and the former real estate business’ right to control the process for resolving disputes related to contingent liabilities and assets;

•

the continuation of a low trading price of our stock, which could limit our access to capital, be an indicator that our goodwill is impaired and/or result in a future charge to earnings for an impairment of our goodwill; and

•

other business, economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, political or technological factors affecting our operations, pricing or services.

Other factors and assumptions not identified above, including those described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.

You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well as those described under “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except per share amounts)

1.	Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the United States and internationally. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Avis Budget”), as well as entities in which Avis Budget directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.

The Company operates in the following business segments:

•

Domestic Car Rental— provides car rentals and ancillary products and services in the United States.

•

International Car Rental— provides car rentals and ancillary products and services primarily in Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

•

Truck Rental— provides truck rentals and related services to consumers and light commercial users in the United States.

In presenting the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2008.

Vehicle Programs. The Company presents separately the financial data of its vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from the Company’s other activities since the assets under vehicle programs are generally funded through the issuance of debt, asset-backed funding or other similar arrangements which are collateralized by such assets. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of the Company’s vehicle programs. The Company believes it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of its vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.

Separation. In connection with the separation of Cendant Corporation (as the Company was formerly known) into four independent companies (the “Separation”), the Company completed the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation (“Realogy”) and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) on July 31, 2006 and completed the sale of Travelport, Inc. (“Travelport”) on August 23, 2006. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded costs (credits) of $3 million and $(3) million, respectively, in connection with the Separation, which included costs consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees, as well as a $14 million credit related to tax-related receivables from Realogy and Wyndham recognized in connection with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) (see Note 8—Income Taxes).

Adoption of New Accounting Standards during 2008

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In addition, SFAS No. 157 requires the Company to consider its own credit spreads when measuring the fair value of liabilities, including derivatives, and the credit spreads of the Company’s counterparties when measuring the fair value of assets, including derivatives. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, as required, and it had no impact to the Company’s financial statements at the time of adoption (see Note 6—Fair Value Measurements).

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-1, “Application of SFAS No. 157 to SFAS No. 13 and Its Related Interpretative Accounting Pronouncements that Address Leasing Transactions” (“FSP SFAS 157-1”) and FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of SFAS No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”). FSP SFAS 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13 and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, with the exception of fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). FSP SFAS 157-1 and FSP SFAS 157-2 became effective for the Company upon adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosures required relating to the fair value measurement of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities when it fully implements SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2009.

Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits a company to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and has elected not to apply the option to measure any of its financial assets or liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) seeks to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquiror to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires the acquiror in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquiror to recognize adjustments made during the measurement period to the acquired assets and liabilities as if they had occurred on the acquisition date and to revise prior period financial statements in subsequent filings for changes. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) requires that all acquisition related costs be expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price and those restructuring costs that an acquiror expected but was not obligated to incur to be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Under SFAS No. 160, the accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation must be accounted for as equity transactions for the difference between the parent’s carrying value and the cash exchanged in the transaction. In addition, SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated (except in the case of a spin-off), and requires expanded disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s ownership interest and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 also asks entities to disclose more information about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in financial statements; how derivatives and related hedges are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”; and how the hedges affect the entity’s financial position, financial

performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

The weighted average exercise price for anti-dilutive options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $39.32 and $35.25, respectively.

4.	Acquisitions

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations may be subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. Any revisions to the fair values, within the allocation period, will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price allocations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired the exclusive rights to certain vehicle rental franchise territories and related assets, which included $23 million of associated vehicles, for $70 million in cash, resulting in trademark intangible assets of $46 million. These acquisitions for 2008 relate primarily to the Company’s Domestic Car Rental segment and were not significant individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Amortization expense relating to all intangible assets was approximately $1 million during the second quarter of 2008 and 2007. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was less than $2 million.

Based on the Company’s amortizable intangible assets at June 30, 2008, the Company expects amortization expense of approximately $2 million for the remainder of 2008 and approximately $3 million for each of the five fiscal years thereafter.

6.	Fair Value Measurements

SFAS No. 157 requires disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. The Company used significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs), other than quoted unadjusted prices from active markets (Level 1 inputs), to determine the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities.

Valuation Techniques. Derivatives entered into by the Company are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques, as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying exposure. The principal techniques used to value these instruments are discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes option valuation models. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, commodity prices, interest rate yield curves, credit curves, counterparty creditworthiness and currency exchange rates. These factors are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


Based on Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2):	As of June 30, 2008
Assets:
Interest rate swaps and other derivatives	$	—
Interest rate caps under vehicle programs		3

Total	$	3


Liabilities:

Such interest is recorded within interest expense related to corporate debt, net on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

8.	Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is a provision of 42.9%. Such rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state taxes and differences in the amount of stock-based compensation recorded for book and tax purposes.

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is a provision of 25.5%. Such rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to an increase in the receivables due from Realogy and Wyndham in connection with the adoption of FIN 48 and a corresponding credit to the Separation costs which is not subject to income taxes, as well as a decrease for changes in New York State and Canadian tax law.

15.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is examining the Company’s taxable years 2003 through 2006. Although the Company believes there is appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company has recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions for all years for which the statute of limitations has not expired. The Company has $422 million accrued for tax liabilities and believes these accruals to be adequate for all open years based on assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. Although the Company believes the recorded assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain; therefore, the Company’s assessments can involve both a series of complex judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions supporting the assessments are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any other related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and recorded assets and liabilities. The potential results of an audit or litigation related to these matters include a range of outcomes, which may involve material amounts. However, the Company is entitled to indemnification by Realogy and Wyndham for most pre-Separation tax matters and therefore does not expect such resolution to have a significant impact on its earnings, financial position or cash flows.

The Company is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities discovered in 1998 at former CUC business units outside of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. The Company has accrued liabilities of approximately $103 million regarding such litigation matters. The Company does not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of such unresolved proceedings. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement (described below), Realogy and Wyndham have assumed all liabilities related to this litigation, as described below, and therefore a corresponding receivable has been established for such amount. Changes in liabilities related to such legal matters for which the Company is entitled to indemnification, and corresponding changes in the Company’s indemnification assets, are shown net within the separation costs, net line on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company entered into the Separation Agreement, pursuant to which Realogy assumed 62.5% and Wyndham assumed 37.5% of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred or allegedly incurred on or prior to the separation of Travelport from the Company (“Assumed Liabilities”). Realogy is entitled to receive 62.5% and Wyndham is entitled to receive 37.5% of the proceeds from certain contingent corporate assets of the Company, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, arising or accrued on or prior to the separation of Travelport from the Company (“Assumed Assets”). Additionally, if Realogy or Wyndham were to default on its payment of costs or expenses to the Company related to any Assumed Liability, the Company would be responsible for 50% of the defaulting party’s obligation. In such event, the Company would be allowed to use the defaulting party’s share of the proceeds of any Assumed Assets as a right of offset. Realogy and Wyndham have also agreed to guarantee each other’s as well as the Company’s obligation under each entity’s deferred compensation plans for amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier years.

The Company does not believe that the impact of any unresolved proceedings constituting an Assumed Liability related to the CUC accounting irregularities should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity, as Realogy and Wyndham each have agreed to assume responsibility for these liabilities as well as other liabilities related to the Company’s litigation that are not related to its vehicle rental operations. Such litigation assumed by Realogy and Wyndham includes litigation which was retained by the Company in connection with the sale of its former Marketing Services division.

In April 2007, Realogy was acquired by an affiliate of Apollo Management VI, L.P. The acquisition does not affect Realogy’s obligation to satisfy 62.5% of the contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement. As a result of the acquisition, Realogy has greater debt obligations and its ability to satisfy its portion of the contingent and other corporate liabilities may be adversely impacted. In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, Realogy posted a letter of credit in April 2007 for the benefit of the Company to cover its estimated share of the Assumed Liabilities discussed above, subject to adjustment, although there can be no assurance that such letter of credit will be sufficient or effective to cover Realogy’s actual obligations if and when they arise.

In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is also involved in claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to its vehicle rental operations, including contract disputes, business practices, insurance claims, intellectual property, environmental issues and other commercial, employment and tax matters, including patent claims, wage and hour claims and breach of contract claims by licensees. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes that they will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

Commitments to Purchase Vehicles

The Company maintains agreements with vehicle manufacturers which require the Company to purchase approximately $1 billion of vehicles from manufacturers over the next twelve months. The majority of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers’ satisfying their obligations under the repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements. The Company is in the process of finalizing its purchase commitments with manufacturers for 2009 model-year vehicles, which will significantly increase the Company’s outstanding commitments. The Company’s featured suppliers for the Avis and Budget brands are General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company, respectively, although the Company purchases vehicles produced by numerous other manufacturers. The purchase of such vehicles is financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle-backed debt in addition to cash received upon the sale of vehicles in the used car market and under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs.

Concentrations

Concentrations of credit risk at June 30, 2008 include (i) risks related to the Company’s repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that have been returned to the car manufacturers and (ii) receivables from Realogy and Wyndham of $529 million and $327 million, respectively, related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with the Separation.

Other Guarantees

The Company has provided certain guarantees to subsidiaries of Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport which, as previously discussed, were disposed during third quarter 2006. These guarantees relate primarily to various real estate leases. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company may be required to make under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately $332 million. At June 30, 2008, the liability recorded by the Company in connection with these guarantees was approximately $6 million. To the extent that the Company would be required to perform under any of these guarantees, the Company is entitled to indemnification from Realogy, Wyndham and/or Travelport.

The components of other comprehensive income were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008			2007

		82		52		23			49

Total comprehensive income	$	97	$	76	$	27		$	85

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of $2 million, net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which primarily related to the derivatives used to manage the interest-rate risk associated with the Company’s vehicle-backed debt and the Company’s floating rate debt. Such amount in the six months ended June 30, 2008, included $5 million, excluding tax, of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges related to the Company’s vehicle-backed debt and is offset by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s Investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

17.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for all outstanding employee stock awards. The Company recorded pretax stock-based compensation expense of $2 million and $5 million ($1 million and $3 million, after tax) during second quarter 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $6 million and $9 million ($4 million and $5 million, after tax) during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to employee stock awards that were granted by the Company.

The Company applies the direct method and tax law ordering approach to calculate the tax effects of stock-based compensation. In jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards, tax deductions for 2008 and 2007 exercises of stock-based awards did not generate a cash benefit. Approximately $31 million of tax benefits will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized in these jurisdictions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008 (the “2007 Form 10-K”). Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions and those relating to our results of operations are presented before taxes.

We operate two of the most recognized brands in the global vehicle rental industry through Avis Rent A Car System, LLC and Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. We provide car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the United States and internationally.

We operate in the following business segments:

•

Domestic Car Rental— provides car rentals and ancillary products and services in the United States.

•

International Car Rental— provides car rentals and ancillary products and services primarily in Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

•

Truck Rental— provides truck rentals and related services to consumers and light commercial users in the United States.

Our revenues are derived principally from car and truck rentals in our Company-owned operations and include (i) time and mileage (“T&M”) fees charged to our customers for vehicle rentals, (ii) reimbursement from our customers for certain operating expenses we incur, including gasoline and vehicle licensing fees, as well as airport concession fees, which we pay in exchange for the right to operate at airports and other locations, and (iii) sales of loss damage waivers and insurance and rentals of navigation units and other items in conjunction with vehicle rentals. We also earn royalty revenue from our franchisees in conjunction with their vehicle rental transactions.

Car rental volumes are closely associated with the travel industry, particularly airline passenger volumes, or enplanements. Because we operate primarily in the United States and generate a significant portion of our revenue from our on-airport operations, we expect that our ability to generate revenue growth will be somewhat dependent on increases in domestic enplanements. We have also experienced significant per-unit fleet cost increases over the last three years, which have negatively impacted our margins. Accordingly, our ability to achieve profit margins consistent with prior periods remains dependent on our ability to successfully reflect corresponding changes in our pricing programs. Our vehicle rental operations are seasonal. Historically, the third quarter of the year has been our strongest quarter due to the increased level of leisure travel and household moving activity. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the third quarter could have a disproportionate adverse effect on our results of operations. We have a predominantly variable cost structure and routinely adjust the size and, therefore, the cost of our rental fleet in response to fluctuations in demand. However, certain expenses, such as rent, are fixed and cannot be reduced in response to seasonal fluctuations in our operations.

We believe that the following trends, among others, may affect and/or have impacted our financial condition and results of operations:

•

Domestic enplanements, which are now expected to decline in 2008 compared to 2007;

•

Rising per-unit car fleet costs, which we began to experience in 2005 and have continued with model-year 2008 vehicles;

•

Difficulty in achieving sustained pricing increases;

•

Our continued expansion in off-airport or local vehicle rentals, including insurance replacement rentals;

•

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussed below are our consolidated results of operations and the results of operations for each of our reportable segments.

We measure performance using the following key operating statistics: (i) rental days, which represents the total number of days (or portion thereof) a vehicle was rented, and (ii) T&M revenue per rental day, which represents the average daily revenue we earned from rental and mileage fees charged to our customers. Our car rental operating statistics (rental days and T&M revenue per rental day) are all calculated based on the actual usage of the vehicle during a 24-hour period. We believe that this methodology, while conservative, provides our management with the most relevant statistics in order to manage the business. Our calculation may not be comparable to other companies’ calculation of similarly-titled statistics.

The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and “EBITDA,” which we define as income from continuing operations before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization, any goodwill impairment, non-vehicle related interest and income taxes. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Our consolidated results of operations comprised the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		Change
Net revenues	$	1,577	$	1,516	$	61
Total expenses		1,552		1,481		71

Income before income taxes		25		35		(10	)
Provision for income taxes		10		12		(2	)

Income from continuing operations		15		23		(8	)
Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax		—		1		(1	)

Net income	$	15	$	24	$	(9	)

During second quarter 2008, our net revenues increased $61 million (4%) compared to second quarter 2007, driven by our car rental operations which experienced a 3% increase in T&M revenue, due primarily to a 3% increase in rental days, and a 15% increase in ancillary revenues. The growth in our car rental operations was partially offset by an 8% decrease in truck rental revenue. Ancillary revenue growth was primarily driven by increases in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, rentals of GPS navigation units, and sales of insurance products and other items. In addition, the total revenue increase includes $20 million related to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our international operations results into U.S. dollars.

The total expense increase of $71 million (5%) was principally due to increases of (i) $39 million (10%) in vehicle depreciation and lease charges resulting from a 2% growth in our average car rental fleet and higher per unit vehicle costs, (ii) $26 million (3%) in operating expenses largely due to the 3% increase in car rental days, (iii) $5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses related to increases in marketing and commission expenditures, most of which are volume-related, and other items, and (iv) $3 million in vehicle interest expense. The increase in total expenses includes an adverse impact from foreign exchange currency rates of $18 million. As a result of these items, offset by a $2 million reduction in our provision for income taxes, our income from continuing operations decreased $8 million.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was a provision of 40.0% and 34.3% for the second quarter 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Following is a discussion of the results of each of our reportable segments during the three months ended June 30:


	Revenues						EBITDA
	2008		2007		% Change		2008			2007			% Change

^(*)	Not meaningful.

^(a)	Includes unallocated corporate overhead, the elimination of transactions between segments and the results of operations of certain non-strategic businesses. EBITDA for 2007 also includes Separation-related costs of $3 million.

Domestic Car Rental

Revenues increased $46 million (4%) while EBITDA decreased $13 million (22%) in second quarter 2008 compared with second quarter 2007, primarily due to a modest increase in car rental volume and increased ancillary revenues offset by increased fleet costs.

The revenue increase of $46 million was comprised of a $13 million (1%) increase in T&M revenue and a $33 million (13%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 3% increase in rental days while T&M revenue per day declined 1% from second quarter 2007. The $33 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $14 million increase in gasoline sales, which was more than offset in EBITDA by $17 million of higher gasoline expense, (ii) a $13 million increase in rentals of GPS navigation units, sales of insurance products and other items, and (iii) a $6 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, $4 million of which was offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities.

The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was offset in EBITDA by $35 million (11%) of increased fleet depreciation and lease charges resulting from a 2% increase in the average size of our domestic rental fleet and an 8% increase in per-unit fleet costs. EBITDA also reflected a $4 million (1%) increase in operating and selling, general and administrative expenses including (i) $6 million of incremental operating expenses primarily representing inflationary increase in salaries and wages, off-airport rental expense and other costs, (ii) a $5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense related primarily to increased travel agency commissions and (iii) a $7 million increase in expenses associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size, primarily related to agency operator commissions, credit card fees and other items, offset by a $14 million reduction in insurance costs due to favorable experience. EBITDA also reflected the absence of a $4 million gain on the mark-to-market of gasoline hedges recorded in the second quarter 2007.

International Car Rental

Revenues and EBITDA increased $28 million (14%) and $4 million (19%), respectively, in second quarter 2008 compared with second quarter 2007, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements and growth in ancillary revenues.

The revenue increase of $28 million was comprised of a $15 million (11%) increase in car rental T&M revenue and a $13 million (22%) increase in ancillary revenues. The total growth in revenue includes a $20 million increase related to foreign currency exchange rates, impacting T&M revenue by $14 million and ancillary revenues by $6 million, and was largely offset in EBITDA by the opposite impact of foreign exchange on expenses. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by an 8% increase in T&M revenue per day and a 3% increase in the number of days a car was rented. The $13 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $6 million increase in counter sales of insurance, GPS rentals and other items, (ii) a $5 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, which was offset in EBITDA by $4 million of higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expense remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a $2 million increase in gasoline sales, which was largely offset in EBITDA by higher gasoline costs.

The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was partially offset in EBITDA by $6 million (13%) of increased fleet depreciation and lease charges, reflecting a 2% increase in the average size of our international rental fleet and an 11% increase in per unit-fleet costs. EBITDA also reflects $12 million of incremental operating expenses including (i) an $8 million increase in salaries and wages, rents and other costs and (ii) $4 million in additional agency operator commissions and other vehicle costs, offset by a $4 million reduction in lower insurance costs due to favorable experience. The cost increases primarily reflect year-over-year exchange rate movements.

Truck Rental

Revenues and EBITDA declined $9 million (8%) and $2 million (20%), respectively, in second quarter 2008 compared with second quarter 2007.

The revenue decrease was primarily due to a decline in T&M revenue, which reflected a 10% decrease in T&M revenue per day, while rental days were essentially unchanged year over year. The decrease in T&M revenue per day was primarily the result of a decrease in commercial and one-way volumes. EBITDA benefited from $2 million (7%) less fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges reflecting lower per-unit fleet costs and also reflected a decrease of $5 million in operating expenses primarily relating to commission expense as a result of the decrease in T&M revenue.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Our consolidated results of operations comprised the following:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		Change
Net revenues	$	3,022	$	2,881	$	141
Total expenses		3,015		2,834		181

Income before income taxes		7		47		(40	)
Provision for income taxes		3		12		(9	)

Income from continuing operations		4		35		(31	)
Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax		—		1		(1	)

Net income	$	4	$	36	$	(32	)

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our total revenues increased $141 million (5%) principally due to a $61 million (3%) increase in T&M revenue reflecting a 3% increase in domestic and international car rental days, and an $80 million (13%) increase in ancillary revenues due to counter sales of insurance products, GPS navigation unit rentals, fees charged to customers and other items. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in T&M revenue within our Truck Rental segment due primarily to a 10% decrease in T&M revenue per day. In addition, the total revenue increase includes $48 million related to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our international operations results into U.S. dollars.

The total expense increase of $181 million (6%) was principally due to increases of (i) $92 million (6%) in operating expenses largely resulting from the 3% increase in car rental days and higher gasoline costs, (ii) $59 million (8%) in vehicle depreciation and lease charges resulting from 3% growth in our average car rental fleet and higher per-unit vehicle costs, (iii) $17 million in vehicle interest expense principally related to mark-to-market losses on interest-rate hedges in 2008, and (iv) $17 million in selling, general and administrative expenses related to increases in marketing and commission expenditures, most of which are volume-related, and other items. The increase in total expenses includes an adverse impact from foreign exchange currency rates of $42 million. These year-over-year increases were partially offset by a $4 million decrease in non-vehicle depreciation and amortization and interest expense related to corporate debt. As a result of these items, offset by a $9 million decrease in our provision for income taxes, our income from continuing operations decreased $31 million.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was a provision of 42.9% and 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for 2008 was primarily due to differences in the amount of stock-based compensation recorded for book and tax purposes. Our effective tax rate for 2007 was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a Separation-related credit recorded in connection with the adoption of FIN 48 that was not subject to income tax as well as a decrease for changes in New York State and Canadian tax law.

Following is a discussion of the results of each of our reportable segments during the six months ended June 30:


	Revenues						EBITDA
	2008		2007		% Change		2008			2007			% Change
Domestic Car Rental	$	2,377	$	2,279	4	%	$	61		$	110		(45	%)

^(*)	Not meaningful.

^(a)	Includes unallocated corporate overhead, the elimination of transactions between segments and the results of operations of certain non-strategic businesses. EBITDA for 2007 also includes Separation-related credits of $3 million.

Domestic Car Rental

Revenues increased $98 million (4%) while EBITDA decreased $49 million (45%) in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007. Revenue increased primarily due to an increase in ancillary revenues and increased car rental volume. EBITDA margins were negatively impacted in the first half by lower car rental pricing and increased fleet costs.

The revenue increase of $98 million was comprised of a $37 million (2%) increase in T&M revenue and a $61 million (13%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 3% increase in rental days while T&M revenue per day decreased by 1% year over year. The $61 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $26 million increase in rentals of GPS navigation units, sales of insurance products and other items, (ii) a $13 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, $7 million of which was offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a $23 million increase in gasoline sales, which was more than offset in EBITDA by $32 million of higher gasoline expense.

The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was offset in EBITDA by $53 million (9%) of increased fleet depreciation and lease charges resulting from a 3% increase in the average size of our domestic rental fleet and a 6% increase in per-unit fleet costs. EBITDA also reflects $55 million of incremental operating expenses including (i) $26 million of additional expenses associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size, primarily related to agency operator commissions, vehicle maintenance costs, credit card fees, and other items, offset by a $13 million reduction in insurance expense due to favorable experience, (ii) $20 million of increased selling, general and administration expense primarily related to higher travel agency commissions, travel incentive programs and other marketing costs, most of which are volume-related, (iii) $12 million of incremental expenses largely representing inflationary increases in salaries and wages, off-airport rental expense and other costs, and (iv) $13 million of increased vehicle interest expense year-over-year due in part to mark-to-market losses on interest rates hedges recorded through the six months ended June 30, 2008.

International Car Rental

Revenues and EBITDA increased $67 million (17%) and $10 million (22%), respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements, increased ancillary revenues and higher demand for car rentals.

The revenue increase of $67 million was comprised of a $39 million (14%) increase in car rental T&M revenue and a $28 million (25%) increase in ancillary revenues. The total growth in revenue includes a $48 million increase related to foreign currency exchange rates, impacting T&M revenue by $34 million and ancillary revenues by $14 million, and was largely offset in EBITDA by the opposite impact of foreign exchange on expenses in the amount of $42 million. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 10% increase in T&M revenue per day, primarily due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and a 3% increase in the number of days a car was rented. The $28 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $15 million increase in counter sales of insurance, GPS rentals and other items, (ii) a $10 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, which was offset in EBITDA by $10 million of higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a $3 million increase in gasoline sales, which was fully offset in EBITDA by higher gasoline costs.

The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenues was partially offset in EBITDA by $12 million (13%) of increased fleet depreciation and lease charges, reflecting a 3% increase in the average size of our international rental fleet and a 9% increase in per-unit fleet costs. EBITDA also reflects $31 million of incremental operating expenses including (i) a $15 million increase in salaries and wages, rents and other costs and (ii) a $10 million increase in agency operator commissions, and other vehicle costs, offset by a $3 million reduction in lower insurance costs due to favorable experience. The cost increases primarily reflect year-over-year exchange rate movements.

Truck Rental

Revenues declined $14 million (7%) while EBITDA declined by $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007.

The revenue decrease was primarily due to a decline in T&M revenue, which reflected a 10% decrease in T&M revenue per day, offset by a 1% increase in rental days. EBITDA benefited from $5 million (8%) less fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges reflecting lower per-unit fleet costs, and also reflected a decrease of $3 million in operating commission expense primarily as a result of the decrease in T&M revenue.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We present separately the financial data of our vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities as the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. Assets under vehicle programs are funded through borrowings under asset-backed funding or other similar arrangements. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our vehicle programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION


	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007		Change
Total assets exclusive of assets under vehicle programs	$	4,567	$	4,493	$	74
Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under vehicle programs		3,792		3,889		(97	)
Assets under vehicle programs		9,825		7,981		1,844
Liabilities under vehicle programs		9,143		7,120		2,023
Stockholders’ equity		1,457		1,465		(8	)

Total assets exclusive of assets under vehicle programs increased $74 million principally due to (i) a $48 million increase in cash and cash equivalents (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Cash Flows” for a detailed discussion), (ii) a $42 million increase in other intangible assets, net related primarily to our acquisition of nineteen vehicle rental franchises during the first six months of 2008, (iii) a $42 million increase in accounts receivable, and (iv) a $23 million increase in deferred taxes. These increases were offset by a $62 million decrease in receivables due from Realogy and Wyndham, $54 million within other current assets and $8 million within other non-current assets, and a $28 million decrease in income tax receivables.

Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under vehicle programs decreased $97 million primarily due to (i) a $24 million decrease in advertising and marketing related liabilities, (ii) a $23 million decrease in tax liabilities for which we are entitled to indemnification from Realogy and Wyndham, (iii) an $18 million decrease in income taxes payable, (iv) a $15 million decrease in non-current insurance liabilities, (v) an $11 million decrease in accrued payroll related liabilities, which related primarily to the payment of the 2007 annual incentives in first quarter 2008, and (vi) an $11 million decrease in accrued legal settlements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $21 million in accounts payable.

Assets under vehicle programs increased approximately $1.8 billion primarily due to (i) approximately $1.7 billion of net additions, principally to our Domestic vehicle rental fleets to meet seasonal needs and (ii) a $337 million increase in our Investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC due to capital contribution reflecting our decision to invest funds from vehicle sales as equity rather than as a repayment of debt. These increases were partially offset by a $160 million decrease in receivables from vehicle manufacturers.

Liabilities under vehicle programs increased approximately $2.0 billion, reflecting $1.9 billion additional borrowings to support the growth in our vehicle rental fleet described above, and a $109 million increase in invoices from manufacturers for vehicles received. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Financing Arrangements” for a detailed account of the change in our debt related to vehicle programs.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $8 million, primarily due to the repurchase of approximately $33 million of our common stock and a $7 million decrease in additional paid-in capital for Separation-related adjustments offset by (i) a $23 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income primarily as a result of currency translation adjustments, (ii) a $4 million increase related to the amortization expense of restricted stock units and (iii) net income of $4 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing activities, as well as available funding arrangements and committed credit facilities, each of which is discussed below.

CASH FLOWS

At June 30, 2008, we had $262 million of cash on hand, an increase of $48 million from $214 million at December 31, 2007. The following table summarizes such increase:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008			2007			Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	840		$	771		$	69
Investing activities		(2,634	)		(2,767	)		133
Financing activities		1,843			2,048			(205	)
Effect of exchange rate changes		(1	)		3			(4	)

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	48		$	55		$	(7	)

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated $69 million more cash from operating activities in comparison to the same period in 2007. This change principally reflects a $58 million reduction in our working capital requirements and a $15 million decrease related to income taxes and deferred income taxes.

We used $133 million less cash in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007. This change primarily reflects the activities of our vehicle programs, which used $553 million less cash due to our fleet management decisions, including increasing the average hold period of our vehicle fleet, offset by (i) a $343 million capital contribution to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC in the first quarter 2008, reflecting our decision to invest funds from vehicle sales as equity rather than as a repayment of debt, (ii) $70 million of incremental spending for acquisitions of vehicle rental franchises and (iii) a net year-over-year decrease of $17 million in transactions with our former operating businesses. Our capital expenditures in second quarter 2008 were relatively consistent with the same period in 2007, and we anticipate aggregate capital expenditures will approximate $90-95 million in 2008.

We generated $205 million less cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 in comparison with the same period in 2007. This change primarily reflects (i) a $167 million net decrease in cash provided under our vehicle programs’ financing activities mainly due to a decrease in proceeds from borrowings and (ii) a $72 million increase in cash utilized for the net repurchases and issuances of common stock, partially offset by a $33 million decrease in debt principal payments related to our corporate borrowings.

DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $9.3 billion of indebtedness (including corporate indebtedness of approximately $1.8 billion and debt under vehicle programs of approximately $7.5 billion).

Corporate indebtedness consisted of:


	Maturity Date	As of June 30, 2008		As of December 31, 2007		Change
Floating rate term loan ^{(a) (b)}	April 2012	$	791	$	796	$	(5	)

		$	1,793	$	1,797	$	(4	)

^(a)

In connection with the Separation, Avis Budget Car Rental borrowed $1,875 million in April 2006, which consisted of (i) $1 billion of unsecured fixed and floating rate notes and (ii) an $875 million secured floating rate term loan under a credit facility. The floating rate term loan and floating rate notes bear interest at three month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and three month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, respectively. We use various hedging strategies, including derivative instruments, to manage a portion of the risks associated with our floating rate debt.

^(b)

The floating rate term loan and our revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of all of the capital stock of substantially all of our direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the capital stock of each direct foreign subsidiary, subject to certain exceptions, and liens on substantially all of our intellectual property.

The following table summarizes the components of our debt under vehicle programs (including related party debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP), LLC):


	As of June 30, 2008		As of December 31, 2007		Change
Debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding ^(a)	$	6,314	$	4,646	$	1,668

	$	7,500	$	5,596	$	1,904

^(a)

As of June 30, 2008, the principal sources of the $6.3 billion of debt are $5.8 billion of third party debt issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding, $444 million of our equity investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding and $79 million of interest rate derivative hedges. The increase principally reflects (i) $1.3 billion of incremental borrowings under our conduit facilities to support the acquisition of rental vehicles within our Domestic Car Rental operations and (ii) a $343 million increase in the our Investment in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding reflecting our decision to invest funds from vehicle sales into Avis Budget Rental Car Funding as equity rather than as a repayment of debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding.

^(b)	The increase primarily reflects incremental borrowings under our conduit facility to support the acquisition of rental vehicles within our Budget Truck rental fleet.

^(c)	The increase primarily reflects incremental borrowings under our conduit facilities to support the acquisition of vehicles within our International Car Rental operations and additional fleet loans to support the acquisition of certain vehicles for our Domestic Car Rental operations.

As of June 30, 2008, the committed credit facilities available to us and/or our subsidiaries at the corporate or Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC level were as follows:


	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Letters of Credit Issued		Available Capacity
$1.5 billion revolving credit facility ^(a)	$	1,500	$	—	$	572	$	928
Letter of credit facility ^(b)		303		—		303		—

^(a)

This secured revolving credit facility was entered into by Avis Budget Car Rental in April 2006, has a five year term and currently bears interest of LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The floating rate term loan and our revolving credit facility are secured by pledges of all of the capital stock of substantially all of our direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of the capital stock of each direct foreign subsidiary, subject to certain exceptions, and liens on substantially all of our intellectual property.

^(b)	Final maturity date is July 2010.

The following table presents available funding under our debt arrangements related to our vehicle programs at June 30, 2008:

^(a)	Capacity is subject to maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize debt.

^(b)	The outstanding debt is collateralized by approximately $8.2 billion of underlying vehicles and related assets.

^(c)	The outstanding debt is collateralized by approximately $345 million of underlying vehicles and related assets.

^(d)	In connection with these capital leases, there are corresponding assets of approximately $190 million classified within vehicles, net on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2008.

^(e)	The outstanding debt is collateralized by approximately $1.2 billion of vehicles and related assets.

LIQUIDITY RISK

We believe that access to our existing financing arrangements is sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Our primary liquidity needs include the payment of operating expenses, corporate and vehicle related debt and procurement of rental vehicles to be used in our operations. Our primary sources of funding are operating revenue, cash received upon sale of vehicles, borrowings under our vehicle-backed borrowing arrangements and our revolving credit facility.

Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in the vehicle rental industry or the asset backed financing market. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to vehicle programs could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs, (ii) increased costs associated with the principal financing program for our vehicle rental subsidiaries if General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company or Chrysler LLC is not able to honor its obligations to repurchase or guarantee the depreciation on the related vehicles, (iii) any disruption in our ability to obtain financing due to negative credit events specific to us or affecting the overall debt market and (iv) default by any of the financial-guarantee firms that have insured a portion of our outstanding vehicle-backed debt. Also see Part II Item 1A Risk Factors for additional information.

Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial ratios and, as of June 30, 2008, we were not aware of any instances of non-compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2007 Form 10-K with the exception of our commitment to purchase vehicles, which decreased by approximately $3.9 billion from December 31, 2007 to approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, 2008. We are currently negotiating our purchase commitments with manufacturers for model-year 2009 vehicles. Changes to our obligations related to corporate indebtedness and debt under vehicle programs are presented above within the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources— Debt and Financing Arrangements” and also within Notes 13 and 14 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2008, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $422 million. We are entitled to indemnification from Realogy and Wyndham for substantially all of such amount. A reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur upon settlement with tax authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has begun to examine our taxable years 2003 through 2006. While the ultimate settlement date is uncertain, we believe it is reasonably possible that examination for the taxable years 2003 through 2006 will conclude in 2010.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies” of our 2007 Form 10-K are the accounting policies (related to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, vehicles, income taxes, financial instruments and public liability, property damage and other insurance liabilities) that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect 2008 reported results. There have been no significant changes to those accounting policies or our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical accounting policies.

At December 31, 2007, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $1.2 billion based on our assessment at that date. Our stock price decreased significantly during June 2008. We will continue to monitor our goodwill for potential impairment and may be required to record an additional charge to earnings in the future if the price continues to trade at a low level and/or if other events indicate that an impairment exists.

We will adopt the following recently issued accounting pronouncements as required:

•

SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”

•

SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”

•

SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”

For detailed information regarding these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used June 30, 2008 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and foreign currency exchange rates on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Previously Reported Matters

The following summarizes material developments that have occurred in our previously reported legal proceedings.

Vehicle Rental Litigation

With respect to the complaint filed by Giuseppe Demarte and Mona Self against Budget Truck Rental, LLC (“BTR”) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, relating to BTR’s refueling practices and procedures, court approval of the settlement was obtained in May 2008. The settlement principally provides that class members will be entitled to receive a payment or coupons which may be redeemed for discounts on truck or car rental charges, and that BTR will issue written communications to its California locations and post signage at such locations with respect to refueling practices and procedures. The aggregate value of the payments and coupons to be issued in connection with the settlement is estimated to be less than $1 million.

Plaintiffs have dismissed the Ludwig v. Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. matter commenced in the Superior Court of California in and for Los Angeles on behalf of plaintiffs and all others similarly situated claiming violations of California Civil Code Section 1936 and unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business practices under California Business and Professions Code Section 17203. Section 1936 of the California Civil Code establishes the additional daily rates which a rental car company may charge for the optional loss damage waiver product based on the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of the vehicle in 2002 with Consumer Price Index increases to the MSRP commencing January 1, 2003. Plaintiffs had contended that the amount of the daily charge imposed for certain classes of vehicles exceeded the amount set forth in the statute based on the vehicle cost.

On July 24, 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California granted our motions to dismiss with respect to the state law claims and denied our motion to dismiss with respect to the federal antitrust claim in the putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael Shames et al. v. The Hertz Corp. et al., No. 07 CV 2174H (S.D. Cal.). An amended complaint was filed in May 2008 against the Company and six other rental car companies, as well as the California Travel and Tourism Commission, and contained claims that the defendants had violated federal antitrust law and California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law by allegedly agreeing to pass on airport concession fees and a state tourism commission assessment to passenger car renters in California. The court has dismissed all claims against the California Travel and Tourism Commission. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this suit as we believe it is without merit.

Corporate Litigation

With respect to CSI Investments et al. v. Cendant et al. (S.D.N.Y) (“Credentials Litigation”), an action for breach of contract and fraud arising out of Cendant’s acquisition of the Credentials business in 1998, the judgment entered in favor of plaintiffs in the amount of approximately $94.3 million plus attorneys fees and accrued interest was affirmed in May 2008 following the denial of our and plaintiffs’ motions for reconsideration. We filed a notice of appeal on May 23, 2008 and plaintiffs filed a notice of cross appeal on June 2, 2008. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Realogy and Wyndham are responsible for 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively, of any liability related to the Credentials Litigation; therefore, we expect that any judgment or payment related to the Credentials Litigation will have no net impact on our financial statements or cash balances.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

We recorded a charge for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2007, and our goodwill may be further impaired in the future, which may require us to record an additional charge to earnings.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, we perform a goodwill impairment assessment as required, which includes, among other things, a reconciliation of current equity market capitalization to stockholders’ equity. In the fourth quarter of 2007, our total stockholders’ equity significantly exceeded our equity market capitalization and based on our goodwill impairment assessment, we recorded a charge of approximately $1.2 billion for goodwill impairment. During June 2008, our stock price decreased significantly and has not subsequently increased. We may be required to record an additional impairment in the future including as a result of continued reduction to our equity market capitalization, which would result in a negative impact on our results of operations.

We have been adversely impacted by the downturn in the U.S. economy and may be further adversely impacted.

The U.S. economy is currently experiencing a pronounced downturn, including a tightening of credit markets, rising commodity prices, a weak housing market and reduced airline passenger traffic. Historically, our results of operations have declined during periods of general economic weakness. During the first half of 2008, several airlines announced capacity reductions and higher fares in the face of high fuel prices and overall slower economic growth. In 2007, we generated approximately 81% of our domestic car rental revenue from our corporate-owned on-airport locations; therefore, a decline in airline passenger traffic, which can be affected by economic downturns, higher fares and increased fuel prices, will typically have an adverse impact on our results of operations. While our revenues increased in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007, the effects of economic factors have caused the results of our operations for the first half of 2008 to be lower than in the same period in 2007, and we currently expect that our results for our Domestic Car Rental segment for full-year 2008 will be lower than in 2007. If economic conditions in the United States do not improve or worsen, our results of operations could be adversely impacted beyond 2008. In addition, a substantial and prolonged adverse performance in our results of operations could impact our ability to satisfy the financial covenants included in our debt documents, including our senior secured credit facility, which could result in higher borrowing costs and/or the need to seek amendments and waivers to avoid the termination of lending commitments or acceleration of maturity of amounts outstanding.

Item 4.
