BUDGET RENT A CAR SYSTEM Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), BUDGET RENT A CAR SYSTEM reported 173 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 175 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 1.7%, fiscal 2025), while 1 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -0.7% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 1,354 | 1,359 | 1,357 |
| Opened | 7 | 0 | 1 |
| Transfers | 0 | 10 | 3 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 15 | 2 | 3 |
| Outlets at end | 1,359 | 1,356 | 1,350 |
| Net change | +5 | -3 | -7 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 3 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 175 at start = 1.7%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchised outlet left the system — including voluntary non-renewals and outlets that ceased for other reasons, which can include sales or absorption into another franchise. Transfers (3) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate”, and not every exit is a closure or a failure; Item 20 does not say why any outlet left. On a small starting base, a single exit moves this rate sharply.
