More about Budget Car Rentals

Budget Rent a Car System, Inc. is a car rental company based out of the United States in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey. It was founded in 1958 by Morris Mirkin with a $10,000 investment in Los Angeles, California.

The company name was chosen to appeal to the budget minded consumer. The company consisted of Morris and his wife; together managing a small fleet of 10 cars, at a rental rate of $4.00 per day and 4 cents per mile. A distant relative, Jules Lederer (husband of columnist Ann Landers) became captivated by the marketing concept of Budget and in 1959 created a leasing company to help Mirkin increase his fleet and grow.

In 1960 Lederer and Mirkin incorporated and became Budget Rent A Car Corporation, in Chicago, Illinois and the company’s growth skyrocketed. Budget maintained their focus on value-oriented leisure travelers throughout the 1960s and 1970s and grew more than 20 percent every year over these decades.

Budget soon began to venture into renting to small and medium sized business along with corporate accounts and updated their policies and programs to become a stronger player in this market. This was a lucrative market for Budget and due to this influx of new business consumers, their business grew to revolve around national and international airport locations.

In 1986 Budget experienced a complete change in ownership as a leveraged buyout by a New York Investment Firm Gibbons, Green, Van Amerongen purchased them for over $2 million. In 1987 Budget becomes a public company with share offerings of 3.2 million. They were bought again by Team Rental Group which was Budget’s largest U.S. franchisee in 1997, and the name was changed to Budget Group, Inc. That same year they introduced “Unlimited Budget” which was a travel agent loyalty program.

Budget was purchased again in 2002 by Cendant Corporation and is now operated under their leadership as a subsidiary, Avis Budget Group. Today, there are more than 3,000 locations worldwide. They are still value oriented and are committed to offering a quality product, friendly service and a great value to customers renting cars.
