	1	Basis of Presentation
	Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides car and truck rentals, car sharing services and ancillary services to businesses and consumers worldwide. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which Avis Budget Group, Inc. directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, the “Company”).
	The Company operates the following reportable business segments:
	•	North America—provides car rentals in the United States and vehicle rentals in Canada, as well as ancillary products and services, and operates the Company’s Zipcar car sharing business in North America.
	•	International—provides and licenses the Company’s brands to third parties for vehicle rentals and ancillary products and services in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand, and operates the Company’s car sharing business in certain of these markets.
	•	Truck Rental—provides truck rentals and ancillary products and services to consumers and commercial users in the United States.
	In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company completed the business acquisitions discussed in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
	In conjunction with a change in the Company’s management structure in first quarter of 2014, the financial results of the Company’s Zipcar operations outside of North America are reported in the Company’s International segment rather than in the Company’s North America segment. The Company’s business segment financial information presented in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements has been recast for all periods presented. The Company’s consolidated results were not affected by this change.
	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 that is 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 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.

	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Accounting Principles
	The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates and Assumptions
	The use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management is required in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates are based on management’s evaluation of historical trends and other information available when the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and may affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives revenue primarily through the operation and licensing of the Avis and Budget rental systems and by providing vehicle rentals and other services to business and leisure travelers and others. Other revenue includes sales of loss damage waivers and insurance products, fuel and fuel service charges, rentals of GPS navigation units and other items. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered to customers, the pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	Vehicle rental and rental-related revenue is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented. Licensing revenue principally consists of royalties paid by the Company’s licensees and is recorded within other revenues as the licensees’ revenue is earned (over the rental period of a vehicle). The Company renews license agreements in the normal course of business and occasionally terminates, purchases or sells license agreements. In connection with ongoing fees that the Company receives from its licensees pursuant to license agreements, the Company is required to provide certain services, such as training, marketing and the operation of reservation systems. Revenue and expenses associated with gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concessions are recorded on a gross basis within revenue and operating expenses.
	Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the prevailing monthly average rate of exchange. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The accumulated currency translation adjustment as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $166 million and $193 million, respectively. Currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation (non-vehicle related) is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 20 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Useful lives are as follows:
	Buildings	30 years
	Furniture, fixtures & equipment	3 to 10 years
	Capitalized software	3 to 7 years
	Buses and support vehicles	4 to 15 years
	The Company capitalizes the costs of software developed for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed and management (i) commits to funding the project and (ii) believes it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized on a straight-line basis commencing when such software is ready for its intended use. The net carrying value of software developed or obtained for internal use was $108 million and $71 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill represents the excess, if any, of the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, if any, over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but assesses it for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year at the reporting unit level. The Company assesses goodwill for such impairment by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value using the present value of expected future cash flows. When appropriate, comparative market multiples and other factors are used to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.
	Other intangible assets, primarily trademarks, with indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of an other intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are evaluated each reporting period to determine if circumstances warrant a revision to these lives.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company is required to assess long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the undiscounted expected future cash flows to be generated from such assets. Property and equipment is evaluated separately within each segment. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value.
	Program Cash
	Program cash primarily represents amounts specifically designated to purchase assets under vehicle programs and/or to repay the related debt.
	Vehicles
	Vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of the vehicles is recorded net of incentives and allowances from manufacturers. The Company acquires many of its rental vehicles pursuant to repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. Under these programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price and date, or guarantee the depreciation rate for a specified period of time, subject to certain eligibility criteria (such as car condition and mileage requirements). The Company depreciates vehicles such that the net book value on the date of return to the manufacturers is intended to equal the contractual guaranteed residual values, thereby minimizing any gain or loss.
	Rental vehicles acquired outside of manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are depreciated based upon their estimated residual values at their expected dates of disposition, after giving effect to anticipated conditions in the used car market, which are reviewed on a continuous basis. Any adjustments to depreciation are made prospectively.
	The estimation of residual values requires the Company to make assumptions regarding the age and mileage of the car at the time of disposal, as well as expected used vehicle auction market conditions. The Company periodically evaluates estimated residual values and adjusts depreciation rates as appropriate. Differences between actual residual values and those estimated result in a gain or loss on disposal and are recorded as part of vehicle depreciation at the time of sale. For 2013, 2012 and 2011, rental vehicles were depreciated at rates ranging from 1% to 43% per annum. Vehicle-related interest expense amounts are net of vehicle-related interest income of $9 million, $8 million and $8 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Advertising Expenses
	Advertising costs are generally expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expenses, recorded within selling, general and administrative expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, include radio, television, travel partner rewards programs, internet advertising and other advertising and promotions and were approximately $116 million, $127 million and $107 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
	The Company reports revenues net of any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer.
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company measures fair value of assets and liabilities and discloses the source for such fair value measurements. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows: Level 1, which refers to assets and liabilities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, which refers to assets and liabilities for which significant other observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which are valued based on significant unobservable inputs.
	The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (Level 1 inputs). In some cases where quoted market prices are not available, prices are derived by considering the yield of the benchmark security that was issued to initially price the instruments and adjusting this rate by the credit spread that market participants would demand for the instruments as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs). In situations where long-term borrowings are part of a conduit facility backed by short-term floating rate debt, the Company has determined that its carrying value approximates the fair value of this debt (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable, program cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
	The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate contracts and commodity contracts, and are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). 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 Company principally uses discounted cash flows to value these instruments. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, commodity prices, interest rate yield curves of the Company and counterparties, credit curves, counterparty creditworthiness and currency exchange rates. These factors are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.
	Derivative Instruments
	Derivative instruments are used as part of the Company’s overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and gasoline costs. As a matter of policy, derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
	All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item. The effective portion of changes in fair value of a derivative that is designated as either a cash flow or net investment hedge, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, including vehicle interest, net or interest related to corporate debt, net. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings. Amounts related to our derivative instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the nature of the hedged item (principally operating activities).
	Investments
	The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Common stock investments in affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity method of accounting. Available-for-sale securities are carried at current fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported net of taxes as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported currently in earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has investments in available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $6 million.
	Joint venture investments are typically accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records its proportional share of the joint venture’s net income or loss within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in several joint ventures with a carrying value of $53 million, recorded within non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Aggregate realized gains and losses on investments and dividend income are recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2013, the amount realized from the sale of certain equity investments was not material. During 2012 and 2011, the Company realized a gain of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, from the sale of equity investments.
	Self-Insurance Reserves
	The Consolidated Balance Sheets include $416 million and $407 million of liabilities associated with retained risks of liability to third parties as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Such liabilities relate primarily to public liability and third-party property damage claims, as well as claims arising from the sale of ancillary insurance products including but not limited to supplemental liability, personal effects protection and personal accident insurance. These obligations represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimated reserve requirements for such claims are recorded on an undiscounted basis utilizing actuarial methodologies and various assumptions which include, but are not limited to, the Company’s historical loss experience and projected loss development factors. The required liability is also subject to adjustment in the future based upon the changes in claims experience, including changes in the number of incidents and changes in the ultimate cost per incident. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
	The Consolidated Balance Sheets also include liabilities of approximately $59 million and $61 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to workers’ compensation, health and welfare and other employee benefit programs. The liabilities represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported, utilizing actuarial methodologies similar to those mentioned above. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company’s policy is to record compensation expense for stock options, and restricted stock units that are time- and performance-based, for the portion of the award that is expected to vest. Compensation expense related to market-based restricted stock units is recognized provided that the requisite service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock units using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of stock-based and cash unit awards containing a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key inputs and assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model include the stock price of the award on the grant date, the expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the expected term, the expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s publicly traded, near-the-money stock options, and the valuation period is based on the vesting period of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and, since the Company does not currently pay or plan to pay a dividend on its common stock, the expected dividend yield was zero.
	Business Combinations
	The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are recognized if fair value can be reasonably estimated at the acquisition date. The excess, if any, of (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, over (ii) the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Gains and losses on the re-acquisition of unfavorable license agreements are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon completion of the respective acquisition. Transaction-related costs incurred to effect a business combination are expensed as incurred, except for the cost to issue debt related to the acquisition.
	Transaction-related Costs
	Transaction-related costs are classified separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs comprise expenses related to the integration of the acquiree’s operations with those of the Company, including duplicate headcount costs for functions or positions that are integrated, costs associated with the implementation of incremental compliance-related programs, expenses for the implementation of best practices and process improvements, and expenses related to acquisition-related activities such as due-diligence and other advisory costs. Transaction-related costs in 2011 also include a non-cash charge related to the reacquired unfavorable license rights and losses on currency transactions related to the Avis Europe acquisition.
	Currency Transactions
	The Company records the net gain or loss of currency transactions on certain intercompany loans and the unrealized gain or loss on intercompany loan hedges within interest expense related to corporate debt, net. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded losses of $11 million and $17 million, respectively, on such items. There was no such item in the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards During 2013
	In January 2013, as a result of the issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-2, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which provides companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether there are events or circumstances which would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	In January 2013, as a result of issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted, as required, ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires companies to disclose additional information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in incremental disclosure about activity and amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2014, as a result of the issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which requires tax benefits to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	(a)	As the Company incurred a net loss in 2011, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock warrants and issuable shares underlying the convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such period.
	The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (shares in millions):

Restructuring	'
	4	Restructuring
	During fourth quarter 2012, the Company initiated a strategic restructuring initiative to better position the business of its Truck Rental segment, in which it closed certain rental locations and decreased the size of the rental fleet, with the intent to increase fleet utilization and reduce costs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $21 million related to this initiative and expects no further restructuring expenses to be incurred in 2014.
	In 2011, subsequent to the acquisition of Avis Europe, the Company initiated restructuring initiatives, identifying synergies across the Company, enhancing organizational efficiencies and consolidating and rationalizing processes. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as part of this process, the Company formally communicated the termination of employment to approximately 580, 550 and 50 employees, respectively. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded restructuring expenses in connection with these initiatives of $40 million, $37 million and $3 million, respectively, the majority of which have been or are expected to be settled in cash. These expenses primarily represent costs associated with severance, outplacement services and other costs associated with employee terminations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has terminated approximately 440 of the employees affected in 2013 and anticipates that it will incur an additional $20 million of restructuring expenses related to these initiatives in 2014.
	The following tables summarize the change to our restructuring-related liabilities and identify the amounts recorded within the Company’s reporting segments for restructuring charges and corresponding payments and utilizations:

Acquisitions	'
	Acquisitions
	Zipcar
	In March 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Zipcar, a leading car sharing company, for $473 million, net of acquired cash. The acquisition increased the Company’s growth potential and its ability to better serve a greater variety of customer transportation needs.
	The excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to the Company’s North America segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, identifiable intangible assets, income and non-income based taxes, and residual goodwill are not yet finalized and subject to change. In connection with this acquisition, $188 million was recorded in identifiable intangible assets (consisting of $112 million related to trademarks and $76 million related to customer relationships) and $269 million was recorded in goodwill. The trademark assets are indefinite-lived and the customer relationship intangibles will be amortized over an estimated life of 8 years.
	Brazilian licensee
	In August 2013, the Company acquired a 50% ownership stake in its Brazilian licensee for $53 million. Approximately $47 million of the total consideration was paid in 2013 and the remainder is expected to be paid by the end of first quarter 2014. The Company’s investment significantly increases its presence in the Brazilian car rental market.
	The Company’s investment in its Brazilian licensee was recorded as an equity investment within Other non-current assets, and the Company’s share of the Brazilian licensee’s operating results is reported within Operating expenses. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company agreed to the payment of contingent consideration of up to $13 million based on the Brazilian licensee’s future financial performance. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation technique, based on a range of possible future results, and no value was attributed to the contingent consideration at the acquisition date or at December 31, 2013. The Company’s investment, which is recorded in its International segment, totaled approximately $17 million at December 31, 2013, net of an impairment charge of $33 million ($33 million, net of tax). The impairment charge was recorded at the time of the investment based on a combination of observable and unobservable fair value inputs (Level 3), specifically a combination of the Income approach‐discounted cash flow method and the Market approach-public company market multiple method.
	Payless Car Rental
	In July 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Payless for $46 million, net of acquired cash. The acquisition provides the Company with a position in the deep-value segment of the car rental industry. The excess of the purchase price over preliminary fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to the Company’s North America segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized and is therefore subject to change. In connection with this acquisition, $23 million was recorded in identifiable intangible assets (consisting of $16 million related to trademarks and $7 million related to license agreements) and $27 million was recorded in goodwill. The trademark assets are indefinite-lived and the license agreements will be amortized over an estimated life of 15 years.
	Apex Car Rentals
	In October 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Apex, a leading deep-value car rental company in New Zealand and Australia, operating a fleet of approximately 4,000 rental vehicles. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company paid $63 million in cash (including the acquisition of fleet) and agreed to the payment of contingent consideration with an estimated acquisition date fair value of $9 million. The contingent consideration consists of a maximum of $26 million in additional payments that are contingent on the future financial performance of Apex. The fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date, and at December 31, 2013, was estimated by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation technique, based on a range of possible future results. Any changes in contingent consideration are recorded in Transaction-related costs. The amount recognized for contingent consideration was $12 million at December 31, 2013. In connection with this acquisition, $21 million was recorded in trademarks and $16 million was recorded in goodwill, which were allocated to the Company’s International segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	Avis Europe
	In October 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Avis Europe for $976 million and subsequently repaid $649 million of assumed Avis Europe indebtedness. Avis Europe provides vehicle rental and ancillary products and services in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The acquisition reunited the global operation of the Avis and Budget brands under one corporate umbrella.
	The Company recorded a $117 million net, non-cash charge, within transaction-related costs, related to the reacquired unfavorable license rights that provided Avis Europe with royalty-free license rights within certain territories. This net charge reflects the difference, as of the acquisition date, between the fair value of the license rights and their contractual value. The Company used a relief from royalty rate analysis to determine the fair value. This valuation considered, but was not limited to, (i) the contracted royalty rates, (ii) the market royalty rate and (iii) the term of the license contracts.
	The excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was assigned to the Company’s International segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as set forth in the table below, reflects various fair value estimates and analyses, including work performed by third-party valuation specialists. The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of Avis Europe:
	Cash		$	136
	Receivables		245
	Other current assets		213
	Property and equipment		91
	Deferred income taxes		27
	Other intangibles		254
	Other non-current assets		31
	Vehicles		1,706
	Receivables from vehicle manufacturers and other		282
		Total identifiable assets acquired	2,985
	Accounts payable and other current liabilities		(552		)

	Avis Europe contributed net revenues of $359 million and a net loss of $223 million, including $213 million of transaction-related costs, net of tax to the Company’s results from October 2011 through December 2011. The net loss was primarily due to a non-cash charge, recorded at the time of the acquisition, related to the unfavorable license rights reacquired by the Company. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the Company’s consolidated information as if Avis Europe had been acquired on January 1, 2011. These amounts were calculated after conversion of Avis Europe’s results into U.S. dollars, applying adjustments to align the financial information with GAAP and the Company’s accounting policies. In addition, adjustments were made to reflect the impact to amortization expense and related income tax expense for fair value adjustments and revised useful lives assigned to intangible assets as if Avis Europe had been acquired on January 1, 2011.

The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if the Company determines it is more likely than not that the related deferred income tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance of $298 million at December 31, 2012 relates to tax loss carryforwards, foreign tax credits and certain state deferred tax assets of $227 million, $53 million and $18 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.3 billion, most of which expire in 2031. Such net operating loss carryforwards are primarily related to accelerated depreciation of the Company’s U.S. vehicles. Currently, the Company does not record valuation allowances on the majority of its U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards as there are adequate deferred tax liabilities that could be realized within the carryforward period. At December 31, 2013, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $445 million with an indefinite utilization period. No provision has been made for U.S. federal deferred income taxes on approximately $720 million of accumulated and undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, since it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in those foreign operations. The determination of the amount of unrecognized U.S. federal deferred income tax liability for unremitted earnings is not practicable.
The reconciliation between the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011

Balance at December 31		$	63			$	54			$	186
In 2012, the Company recorded a reduction in its unrecognized tax benefits primarily due to an effective settlement of $128 million for pre-2007 taxes. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in 2014.
Substantially all of the gross amount of the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, if recognized, would affect the Company’s provision for, or benefit from, income taxes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were offset by tax loss carryforwards in the amount of $18 million.
The following table presents unrecognized tax benefits:
	As of December 31,
	2013				2012
Unrecognized tax benefit in non-current income taxes payable (a)	$	44			$	39
Accrued interest payable on potential tax liabilities (b)	28				22
__________
(a)	Pursuant to the agreements governing the disposition of certain subsidiaries in 2006, the Company is entitled to indemnification for certain pre-disposition tax contingencies. As of December 31, 2013, $15 million of unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax contingencies for which the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification.
(b)	The Company recognizes potential interest related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense related to corporate debt, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Penalties incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were not significant and were recognized as a component of income taxes.

	(a)	The Floating Rate Term Loans are part of the Company’s senior credit facility, which is secured by pledges of capital stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, and liens on substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property and certain other real and personal property.
	Convertible Notes
	3½% Convertible Senior Notes. The Company’s 3½% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) were issued in October 2009 at par value, for aggregate proceeds of $345 million. The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Convertible Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity; however, they are convertible by the holders at any time prior to the second trading day before the maturity date of the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 61.5385 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.25 per share, and which is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.
	Concurrently with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company purchased a convertible note hedge and entered into a warrant transaction, which effectively increased the conversion price of the Convertible Notes, from the Company’s perspective, to $22.50 per share. The convertible note hedge was intended to reduce the net number of shares required to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.
	During 2013 and 2012, the Company repurchased $62 million and $217 million, respectively, of its Convertible Notes at a cost of $115 million and $257 million, respectively. In conjunction with the repurchase of the Convertible Notes, the Company repurchased warrants and sold convertible note hedges corresponding to the repurchased Convertible Notes. In December 2013, the Company unwound the remaining outstanding convertible note hedge and warrants. See Note 16-Stockholders’ Equity for further details.
	Term Loans
	Floating Rate Term Loan due 2016. In October 2012, the Company issued an incremental $30 million under its Floating Rate Term Loan due 2016. In December 2013, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
	Floating Rate Term Loan due 2019. The Company issued $500 million and $200 million of Floating Rate Term Loan in March and October 2012, respectively, under the Company’s senior credit facility. The Company used the proceeds of the loan to repay approximately $420 million of term loan borrowings due 2014 and 2018 and $75 million of its senior notes due 2014.
	During 2013, the Company amended its senior credit facility to issue, in aggregate, an additional $300 million of term loan due 2019. A portion of the proceeds was used to partially fund the acquisition of Zipcar. The term loan has a committed aggregate principal amount of $1 billion and bears interest at the greater of three-month LIBOR or 0.75% plus 225 basis points, for an aggregate rate of 3.00% at December 31, 2013; however, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap to hedge $600 million of its interest rate exposure related to the floating rate term loan at an aggregate rate of 3.96%.
	Senior Notes
	Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014. In June 2013, the Company repaid $100 million of outstanding principal, and in December 2013, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal of $150 million.
	4⅞% Senior Notes due 2017. In November 2012, the Company issued its 4⅞% Senior Notes at par, for aggregate proceeds of $300 million with interest payable semi-annually. The Company has the right to redeem these notes in whole or in part at any time on or after May 15, 2015, at specified prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date.
	Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2017. In November 2013, the Company issued its Floating Rate Senior Notes at 98.75% of their face value for aggregate proceeds of $247 million. The interest rate on these notes is equal to three-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, for an aggregate rate of 3.00% at December 31, 2013; however, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap to hedge its interest rate exposure related to the these notes at an aggregate rate of 3.58%.
	In connection with the sale of the Floating Rate Notes due December 2017, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, under which it has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to a registered offer to exchange the notes for new notes, with substantially identical terms in all material respects. In accordance with the registration rights agreement, the Company could be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of the notes from February 18, 2015 until the exchange offer is completed, a shelf registration statement, if required, is declared effective or the restricted notes become freely tradable under the Securities Act. The Company believes the likelihood of occurrence of such event is remote and, as such, the Company has not recorded a related liability as of December 31, 2013.
	9 ⅝% Senior Notes due 2018. During 2013, the Company repaid the entire outstanding $446 million principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
	8¼% Senior Notes due 2019. In March 2012, the Company issued a third tranche of 8¼% Senior Notes in the amount of $125 million at 103.5% of their face value, for aggregate proceeds of $129 million with interest payable semi-annually. The Company has the right to redeem these notes in whole or in part at any time on or after October 15, 2014, at specified redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. In December 2013, the Company purchased approximately $39 million of the aggregate principal amount.
	9¾% Senior Notes due 2020. In April 2013, the Company purchased approximately $27 million of the aggregate principal amount.
	6% Euro-denominated Senior Notes. In March 2013, the Company issued €250 million of 6% Euro-denominated Senior Notes due March 2021, at par, with interest payable semi-annually. The notes are unsecured obligations of the Company’s Avis Budget Finance plc subsidiary, are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing senior unsecured debt. The Company has the right to redeem these notes in whole or in part on or after April 1, 2016 at specified redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance to partially fund the acquisition of Zipcar.
	5½% Senior Notes due 2023. In April 2013, the Company completed an offering of $500 million of 5½% Senior Notes due April 2023. The notes were issued at par, with interest payable semi-annually. The Company has the right to redeem these notes in whole or in part on or after April 1, 2018 at specified redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
	In connection with the issuance of the 5½% Senior Notes due 2023, the Company completed a cash tender offer pursuant to which approximately $326 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9⅝% Senior Notes due 2018 and approximately $27 million of the aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Notes due 2020 were purchased by the Company for $398 million plus accrued interest.

	(b)	The decrease reflects reduced borrowings due to a decrease in the size of the Company’s truck fleet.
	(c)	The increase is principally related to Zipcar capital leases.
	North America
	Debt due to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. Avis Budget Rental Car Funding, an unconsolidated bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose limited liability company, issues privately placed notes to investors as well as to banks and bank-sponsored conduit entities. Avis Budget Rental Car Funding uses the proceeds from its note issuances to make loans to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, AESOP Leasing LP (“AESOP Leasing”), on a continuing basis. AESOP Leasing is required to use the proceeds of such loans to acquire or finance the acquisition of vehicles used in the Company’s rental car operations. By issuing debt through the Avis Budget Rental Car Funding program, the Company pays a lower rate of interest than if it had issued debt directly to third parties. Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated, as the Company is not the “primary beneficiary” of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary because the Company does not have the obligation to absorb the potential losses or receive the benefits of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding’s activities since the Company’s only significant source of variability in the earnings, losses or cash flows of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is exposure to its own creditworthiness, due to its loan from Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. Because Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated, AESOP Leasing’s loan obligations to Avis Budget Rental Car Funding are reflected as related party debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also has an asset within Assets under vehicle programs on its Consolidated Balance Sheets which represents securities issued to the Company by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. AESOP Leasing is consolidated, as the Company is the “primary beneficiary” of AESOP Leasing; as a result, the vehicles purchased by AESOP Leasing remain on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of AESOP Leasing, as it has the ability to direct its activities, an obligation to absorb a majority of its expected losses and the right to receive the benefits of AESOP Leasing’s activities. AESOP Leasing’s vehicles and related assets, which as of December 31, 2013, approximate $7.3 billion and many of which are subject to manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements, collateralize the debt issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding. The assets and liabilities of AESOP Leasing are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets within Assets under vehicle programs and Liabilities under vehicle programs, respectively. The assets of AESOP Leasing, included within Assets under vehicle programs (excluding the Investments in Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC—related party) are restricted. Such assets may be used only to repay the respective AESOP Leasing liabilities, included within Liabilities under vehicle programs, and to purchase new vehicles, although if certain collateral coverage requirements are met, AESOP Leasing may pay dividends from excess cash. The creditors of AESOP Leasing and Avis Budget Rental Car Funding have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company periodically provides Avis Budget Rental Car Funding with non-contractually required support, in the form of equity and loans, to serve as additional collateral for the debt issued by Avis Budget Rental Car Funding.
	The business activities of Avis Budget Rental Car Funding are limited primarily to issuing indebtedness and using the proceeds thereof to make loans to AESOP Leasing for the purpose of acquiring or financing the acquisition of vehicles to be leased to the Company’s rental car subsidiaries and pledging its assets to secure the indebtedness. Because Avis Budget Rental Car Funding is not consolidated by the Company, its results of operations and cash flows are not reflected within the Company’s financial statements. Borrowings under the Avis Budget Rental Car Funding program primarily represent fixed rate notes and had a weighted average interest rate of 3% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Canadian borrowings. The Company finances the acquisition of vehicles used in its Canadian rental operations through a consolidated, bankruptcy remote special-purpose entity, which issues privately placed notes to investors and bank-sponsored conduits. The Canadian borrowings represent a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and had a weighted average interest rate of 3% and 4% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	International
	Debt borrowings. In March 2013, the Company entered into a three-year, €500 million (approximately $687 million) European rental fleet securitization program, which matures in 2016 and is used to finance fleet purchases for certain of the Company’s European operations. The Company finances the acquisition of vehicles used in its International rental car operations through this European and other consolidated, bankruptcy remote special-purpose entities, which issue privately placed notes to banks and bank-sponsored conduits. The International borrowings primarily represent floating rate notes and had a weighted average interest rate of 4% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Capital leases. The Company obtained a portion of its International vehicles under capital lease arrangements for which there are corresponding assets of $306 million and $317 million, classified within vehicles, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the interest rates on these leases ranged from 2% to 7% and 2% to 4%, respectively. All capital leases are on a fixed repayment basis and interest rates are fixed at the contract date.
	Truck Rental
	Debt borrowings. The Budget Truck funding program consists of debt facilities, including capital leases, established by the Company to finance the acquisition of the Budget Truck Rental fleet. The borrowings under the Budget Truck funding program are primarily fixed rate notes with a weighted average interest rate of 3% and 4% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Other
	Borrowings under the Company’s other vehicle rental programs primarily represent Zipcar capital lease arrangements for which there are corresponding assets of $28 million, classified within vehicles, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the interest rate on these leases ranged from 3% to 4%.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies	'
		Commitments and Contingencies
	Lease Commitments
	The Company is committed to making rental payments under noncancelable operating leases covering various facilities and equipment. Many of the Company’s operating leases for facilities contain renewal options. These renewal options vary, but the majority include clauses for various term lengths and prevailing market rate rents.
	Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases, including minimum concession fees charged by airport authorities, which in many locations are recoverable from vehicle rental customers, as of December 31, 2013, are as follows:
		Amount
	2014	$	507
	2015	364
	2016	288
	2017	216
	2018	162
	Thereafter	719
		$	2,256
	The future minimum lease payments in the above table have been reduced by minimum future sublease rental inflows in the aggregate of $6 million for all periods shown in the table.
	The Company maintains concession agreements with various airport authorities that allow the Company to conduct its car rental operations on site. In general, concession fees for airport locations are based on a percentage of total commissionable revenue (as defined by each airport authority), subject to minimum annual guaranteed amounts. These concession fees, which are included in the Company’s total rent expense, were as follows for the years ended December 31:
		2013			2012			2011
	Rent expense (including minimum concession fees)	$	622		$	600		$	535
	Contingent concession expense	173			155			104
		795			755			639
	Less: sublease rental income	(5		)	(5		)	(5		)
	Total	$	790		$	750		$	634
	Commitments under capital leases, other than those within the Company’s vehicle rental programs, for which the future minimum lease payments have been reflected in Note 14—Debt Under Vehicle Programs and Borrowing Arrangements, are not significant.
	The Company leases a portion of its vehicles under operating leases, which extend through 2017. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has guaranteed up to $82 million of residual values for these vehicles at the end of their respective lease terms. The Company believes that, based on current market conditions, the net proceeds from the sale of these vehicles at the end of their lease terms will equal or exceed their net book values and therefore has not recorded a liability related to guaranteed residual values.
	Contingencies
	In 2006, the Company completed the spin-offs of its Realogy and Wyndham subsidiaries. In connection with the spin-offs, Realogy assumed 62.5% and Wyndham assumed 37.5% of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company that are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, our former Travelport subsidiary and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, and in each case incurred or allegedly incurred on or prior to each subsidiary’s disposition (“Assumed Liabilities”). If Realogy or Wyndham were to default on its payment of costs or expenses to the Company related to any Assumed Liabilities, the Company would be responsible for 50% of the defaulting party’s obligation. The Company does not believe that the impact of any resolution of contingent liabilities constituting Assumed Liabilities 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. In accordance with the terms of relevant documents, 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.
	The Company is also named in various litigation that is primarily related to the businesses of its former subsidiaries, including Realogy, and Wyndham and their current or former subsidiaries. The Company is entitled to indemnification from such entities for any liability resulting from such litigation.
	Additionally, the Company is also involved in claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related, among other things, to its vehicle rental operations, including, among others, contract and licensee disputes, wage-and-hour claims, competition matters, employment matters, insurance claims, intellectual property claims and other regulatory, environmental, commercial and tax matters. 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 materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Commitments to Purchase Vehicles
	The Company maintains agreements with vehicle manufacturers under which the Company has agreed to purchase approximately $6.4 billion of vehicles from manufacturers over the next 12 months. The majority of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers’ satisfying their obligations under their respective repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements. The purchase of such vehicles is financed primarily through the issuance of vehicle-backed debt and cash received upon the disposition of vehicles.
	Other Purchase Commitments
	In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments to purchase other goods or services from specific suppliers, including those related to marketing, advertising and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $160 million of purchase obligations, which extend through 2018.
	Concentrations
	Concentrations of credit risk at December 31, 2013, include (i) risks related to the Company’s repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign car manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Fiat, Mercedes, Kia, Toyota, BMW, and Renault, and primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that have been disposed but for which the Company has not yet received payment from the manufacturers and (ii) risks related to Realogy and Wyndham, including receivables of $62 million and $38 million, respectively, related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with their disposition.
	Asset Retirement Obligations
	The Company maintains a liability for asset retirement obligations. An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform certain activities in connection with the retirement, disposal or abandonment of assets. The Company’s asset retirement obligations, which are measured at discounted fair values, are primarily related to the removal of underground gas storage tanks at its rental facilities. Liabilities accrued for asset retirement obligations were $25 million and $26 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby the Company agrees to indemnify another party, among other things, for performance under contracts and any breaches of representations and warranties thereunder. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) access to credit facilities and use of derivatives and (v) issuances of debt or equity securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees under licensing agreements, (iv) financial institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative contracts and (v) underwriters and placement agents in debt or equity security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many may survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees as the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications provided to landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates its potential exposure.
	Other Guarantees
	The Company has provided certain guarantees to, or for the benefit of, subsidiaries of Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport, which, as previously discussed, were sold or spun-off in 2006. These guarantees relate primarily to various real estate operating leases. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company may be required to make under the guarantees relating to these leases is estimated to be approximately $52 million, the majority of which expire by the end of 2015. At December 31, 2013, the liability recorded by the Company in connection with these guarantees was approximately $1 million. To the extent that the Company would be required to perform under any of these guarantees, the Company is entitled to indemnification by Realogy and Wyndham, as applicable. The Company monitors the credit ratings and other relevant information for Realogy and Wyndham, in order to assess the status of the payment/performance risk of these guarantees.

	Stockholders’ Equity
	Cash Dividend Payments
	During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not declare or pay any cash dividends. The Company’s ability to pay dividends to holders of its common stock is limited by the Company’s senior credit facility, the indentures governing its senior notes and vehicle financing programs.
	Share Repurchases
	In August 2013, the Company obtained Board approval to repurchase up to $200 million of its common stock. During 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 1,582,000 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $50 million under the repurchase program. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during 2012 and 2011.
	Convertible Note Hedge and Warrants
	In 2009, the Company purchased a convertible note hedge for approximately $95 million, to potentially reduce the net number of shares required to be issued upon conversion of the Company’s 3½% Convertible Notes. Concurrently, the Company issued warrants for approximately $62 million to offset the cost of the convertible note hedge.
	The convertible note hedge and warrants, which were to be net-share settled, initially covered the purchase and issuance, respectively, of approximately 21.2 million shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. The initial strike price per share of the convertible note hedge and warrants was $16.25 and $22.50, respectively. The convertible note hedge was exercisable before expiration only to the extent that corresponding amounts of the 3½% Convertible Notes were exercised. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were accounted for as capital transactions and included as a component of stockholders’ equity. The significant terms of the Convertible Notes can be found in Note 13—Long-term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.
	During 2013 and 2012, respectively, concurrently with the Company’s repurchase of a portion of its 3½% Convertible Notes, the Company repurchased warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock for $37 million and $29 million and sold an equal portion of its convertible note hedge for $50 million and $43 million, reducing the number of shares related to each of the hedge and warrant by approximately 13 million. In addition, during December 2013, the Company unwound the remaining outstanding convertible note hedge and warrants; and repurchased warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock for $41 million, and settled its convertible note hedge for proceeds of $54 million and 179,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $7 million.

	All components of accumulated other comprehensive income are net of tax, except currency translation adjustments, which exclude income taxes related to indefinite investments in foreign subsidiaries and include an $11 million loss, net of tax, related to the Company’s hedge of its net investment in Euro-denominated foreign operations (See Note 19 - Financial Instruments).
	(a)	For the year ended December 31, 2013, $15 million ($9 million, net of tax) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into selling, general and administrative expenses.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]	'
Stock-Based Compensation	'
		Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock- or cash-based awards to employees, directors and other individuals who perform services for the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares reserved for grant of awards under the plan is 16 million, with approximately 3.5 million shares available as of December 31, 2013. The Company typically settles stock-based awards with treasury shares.
	With limited exception, time-based awards generally vest ratably over a three-year period following the date of grant, and performance- or market-based awards generally vest three years following the date of grant based on the attainment of certain performance- or market-based goals, all of which are subject to a service condition.
	Cash Unit Awards
	The fair value of time-based restricted cash units is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date. Market-vesting restricted cash units generally vest depending on the level of relative total shareholder return achieved by the Company during the period prior to scheduled vesting. Settlement of restricted cash units is based on the Company’s average closing stock price over a specified number of trading days and the value of these awards varies based on changes in the Company’s stock price.
	Stock Unit Awards
	Stock unit awards entitle the holder to receive shares of common stock upon vesting on a one-to-one basis. Performance-based RSUs principally vest based upon the level of performance attained, however, upon meeting a threshold performance level vesting can increase by up to 20% if certain relative total shareholder return goals are achieved. Market-based RSUs generally vest based on the level of total shareholder return or absolute stock price attainment.
	The grant date fair value of the performance-based RSUs incorporates the total shareholder return metric, which is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the Company’s ranking relative to an applicable stock index. The weighted average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s stock unit awards are outlined in the table below.

	(a)	Reflects the maximum number of stock units assuming achievement of all performance-, market- and time-vesting criteria and does not include those for non-employee directors, which are discussed separately below. The weighted-average fair value of time-based RSUs, performance-based and market-based RSUs, and cash units granted in 2012 was $14.39, $12.66 and $12.65, respectively, and the weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock units and market-based restricted stock units granted in 2011 was $14.45 and $11.67, respectively. No performance-based restricted stock units or cash units awards were granted in 2011.
	(b)	The total fair value of RSUs vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $13 million, $16 million and $11 million, respectively.
	(c)	The Company’s outstanding time-based RSUs, performance-based and market-based RSUs, and cash units had aggregate intrinsic value of $53 million, $83 million and $11 million, respectively.

	(a)	No stock options were granted during 2012 or 2011.
	(b)	Stock options exercised during 2012 and 2011 had intrinsic values of $11 million and $18 million, respectively, and the cash received from the exercise of options was $3 million in 2013 and was insignificant in 2012 and 2011.
	(c)	The Company assumes that substantially all outstanding stock options will vest over time.
	Non-employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan
	The Company grants stock awards on a quarterly basis to non-employee directors representing 50% of a director’s annual compensation and such awards can be deferred under the Non-employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted 33,000, 53,000 and 54,000 awards, respectively, to non-employee directors.
	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	The Company is authorized to sell shares of its common stock to eligible employees at 95% of fair market value. This plan has been deemed to be non-compensatory and therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized.
	Stock-Compensation Expense
	During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock awards that were granted by the Company of $24 million ($14 million, net of tax), $16 million ($10 million, net of tax) and $17 million ($11 million, net of tax), respectively. In jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards, tax deductions for exercises and/or vestings of stock-based awards have generated a $57 million tax benefit at December 31, 2013, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Approximately $22 million of incremental tax benefits will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized in these jurisdictions.

		Employee Benefit Plans
	Defined Contribution Savings Plans
	The Company sponsors several defined contribution savings plans in the United States and certain foreign subsidiaries that provide certain eligible employees of the Company an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement. The Company matches portions of the contributions of participating employees on the basis specified by the plans. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $39 million, $34 million and $15 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Defined Benefit Pension Plans
	The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans in the United States covering certain eligible employees and sponsors contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans in certain foreign subsidiaries with some plans offering participation in the plans at the employees’ option. The most material of the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans is operated in the United Kingdom. Under these plans, benefits are based on an employee’s years of credited service and a percentage of final average compensation. However, the majority of such plans are closed to new employees and are no longer accruing benefits. There is an unfunded defined benefit pension plan for employees in Germany, which is closed to new employees, and a statutorily determined unfunded defined benefit termination plan for employees in Italy.
	The funded status of the defined benefit pension plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period, but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
	The components of net periodic benefit cost and the assumptions related to the cost consisted of the following:
		Year Ended December 31,
		2013			2012				2011
	Service cost	$	5		$	5			$	3
	Interest cost	26			27				17
	Expected return on plan assets	(28		)	(25		)		(17		)
	Amortization of unrecognized amounts	15			14				8
	Net periodic benefit cost	$	18		$	21			$	11
	The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for its pension plans. The funded status of the pension plans were as follows:
		As of December 31,
	Change in Benefit Obligation	2013			2012
	Benefit obligation at end of prior year	$	670		$	600
	Service cost	5			5
	Interest cost	26			27
	Plan amendments	1			1
	Actuarial (gain) loss	(11		)	58
	Net benefits paid	(21		)	(21		)
	Benefit obligation at end of current year	$	670		$	670
	Change in Plan Assets
	Fair value of assets at end of prior year	$	465		$	412
	Actual return on plan assets	56			56
	Employer contributions	17			18
	Net benefits paid	(21		)	(21		)
	Fair value of assets at end of current year	$	517		$	465
	Total unfunded status at end of year (recognized in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets)	$	(153	)	$	(205	)
	The estimated amount that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2014 is $3 million, which consists of $2 million for net actuarial loss and $1 million for prior service cost.
	The following assumptions were used to determine pension obligations and pension costs for the principal plans in which the Company’s employees participated:
			For the Year Ended December 31,
			2013		2012			2011
	U.S. Pension Benefit Plans
	Discount rate:
		Net periodic benefit cost	3.75	%	4	%		5.25	%
		Benefit obligation	4.75	%	4	%		4	%
	Long-term rate of return on plan assets		7.5	%	7.5	%		8	%
	Non-U.S. Pension Benefit Plans
	Discount rate:
		Net periodic benefit cost	4.5	%	4.75	%		5	%
		Benefit obligation	4.5	%	4.5	%		4.75	%
	Long-term rate of return on plan assets		5.25	%	5.35	%		5.25	%
	To select a discount rate for its defined benefit pension plans, the Company uses a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of such plan, to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of AA-rated fixed-income debt instruments. The Company uses the average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark.
	The Company’s expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.50% and 5.25% for U.S. plans and non-U.S. plans, respectively, used to determine pension obligations and pension costs, is a long-term rate based on historic plan asset returns in individual jurisdictions, over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations.
	As of December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans had a projected benefit obligation in excess of the fair value of plan assets. The Company expects to contribute approximately $9 million to the U.S. plans and $11 million to the non-U.S. plans in 2014.
	The Company’s defined benefit pension plans’ assets are invested primarily in mutual funds and may change in value due to various risks, such as interest rate and credit risk and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of the pension plans’ investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes would materially affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.
	The U.S. defined benefit pension plans’ investment goals and objectives are managed by the Company with consultation from independent investment advisors. The Company seeks to produce returns on pension plan investments, which are based on levels of liquidity and investment risk that the Company believes are prudent and reasonable, given prevailing capital market conditions. The pension plans’ assets are managed in the long-term interests of the participants and the beneficiaries of the plans. The Company’s overall investment strategy has been to achieve a mix of approximately 65% of investments for long-term growth and 35% for near-term benefit payments with a wide diversification of asset types and fund strategies. The Company believes that diversification of the pension plans’ assets is an important investment strategy to provide reasonable assurance that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the pension plans. As such, the Company allocates assets among traditional equity, fixed income (U.S. and non-U.S. government issued securities, corporate bonds and short-term cash investments) and other investment strategies.
	The equity component’s purpose is to provide a total return that will help preserve the purchasing power of the assets. The pension plans hold various mutual funds that invest in equity securities and are diversified among funds that invest in large cap, small cap, growth, value and international stocks as well as funds that are intended to “track” an index, such as the S&P 500. The equity investments in the portfolios will represent a greater assumption of market volatility and risk as well as provide higher anticipated total return over the long term. The equity component is expected to approximate 45%-65% of the U.S. pension plans’ assets.
	The purpose of the fixed income component is to provide a deflation hedge, to reduce the overall volatility of the pension plans assets in relation to the liability and to produce current income. The pension plans hold mutual funds that invest in securities issued by governments, government agencies and corporations. The fixed income component is expected to approximate 30%-40% of the U.S. pension plans’ assets.
	The management of the Company’s non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans’ investment goals and objectives vary slightly by country, but are managed with consultation and advice from independent investment advisors. The investment policy is set with the primary objective to provide appropriate security for all beneficiaries; to achieve long-term growth in the assets sufficient to provide for benefits from the plan; and to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return with regards to the cost of the plan and the security of the benefits. A suitable strategic asset allocation benchmark is determined for the plans to maintain diversified portfolios, taking into account government requirements, if any, regarding unnecessary investment risk and protection of pension plans’ assets. The defined benefit pension plans’ assets are primarily invested in equities, bonds, absolute return funds and cash.
	The Company used significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) to determine the fair value of the defined benefit pension plans’ assets. See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for the Company’s methodology used to measure fair value. The following table presents the defined benefit pension plans’ assets measured at fair value, as of December 31:
	Asset Class		2013			2012
	Cash equivalents		$	10		$	3
	Short term investments		5			7
	U.S. stock		104			91
	Non-U.S. stock		166			149
	Real estate investment trusts		9			6
	Non-U.S. government securities		80			70
	U.S. government securities		3			20
	Corporate bonds		137			105
Other assets		3			14
	Total assets	$	517		$	465
The Company estimates that future benefit payments from plan assets will be $23 million, $24 million, $25 million, $26 million, $27 million and $159 million for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 to 2023, respectively.
Multiemployer Plans
The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover a portion of its employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (i) assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; (iii) if the Company elects to stop participating in a multiemployer plan it may be required to contribute to such plan an amount based on the under-funded status of the plan; and (iv) the Company has no involvement in the management of the multiemployer plans’ investments. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company contributed a total of $8 million, $9 million and $6 million, respectively, to multiemployer plans.

Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
		Financial Instruments
	Risk Management
	Currency Risk. The Company uses currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates associated with its non-U.S.-dollar denominated receivables and forecasted royalties, forecasted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries and forecasted non-U.S.-dollar denominated acquisitions. The Company primarily hedges a portion of its current-year currency exposure to the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars, the Euro and the British pound sterling. The majority of forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they economically hedge. Forward contracts used to hedge forecasted third-party receipts and disbursements up to 12 months are designated and do qualify as cash flow hedges.
	The Company has designated its 6% Euro-denominated Notes issued March 2013 as a hedge of its net investment in Euro-denominated foreign operations. The Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss on this net investment hedge, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of currency translation adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded an $11 million loss, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income.
	The amount of gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings resulting from ineffectiveness or from excluding a component of the hedges’ gain or loss from the effectiveness calculation for cash flow and net investment hedges during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was not material, nor is the amount of gains or losses the Company expects to reclassify from other comprehensive income to earnings over the next 12 months.
	Interest Rate Risk. The Company uses various hedging strategies including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges of $1 million, $13 million and $33 million, net of tax, respectively, to other comprehensive income. The after-tax amount of gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings resulting from ineffectiveness for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was not material to the Company’s results of operations.
	The amount deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income that the Company expects to be recognized in earnings in 2014 is not material.
	The Company uses interest rate swaps, including freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to manage the risk related to its floating rate corporate debt. In connection with such cash flow hedges, the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $1 million, net of tax, to other comprehensive income during each of the years 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	The Company uses derivatives to manage the risk associated with its floating rate vehicle-backed debt. These derivatives include freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, which have maturities ranging from August 2014 to November 2018. In connection with such cash flow hedges, the Company did not record any net unrealized gains or losses to other comprehensive income during 2013, and during 2012 and 2011, recorded net unrealized gains of $12 million and $32 million, net of tax, respectively. The Company recorded losses of $1 million, $3 million and $2 million related to freestanding derivatives during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Commodity Risk. The Company periodically enters into derivative commodity contracts to manage its exposure to changes in the price of gasoline. These instruments were designated as freestanding derivatives and the changes in fair value are recorded in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. These derivatives resulted in a gain of $1 million in 2013, a gain of $3 million in 2012 and a loss of less than $1 million in 2011.
	Credit Risk and Exposure. The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risks in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to various agreements and sales transactions. The Company manages such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of such counterparties and by requiring collateral in certain instances in which financing is provided. The Company mitigates counterparty credit risk associated with its derivative contracts by monitoring the amount for which it is at risk with each counterparty, periodically evaluating counterparty creditworthiness and financial position, and where possible, dispersing its risk among multiple counterparties.
	There were no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparties or groups of counterparties at December 31, 2013 or 2012, other than (i) risks related to the Company’s repurchase and guaranteed depreciation agreements with domestic and foreign car manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Fiat, Mercedes, Kia, BMW, Toyota, and Renault, and primarily with respect to receivables for program cars that were disposed but for which the Company has not yet received payment from the manufacturers (see Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), (ii) receivables from Realogy and Wyndham related to certain contingent, income tax and other corporate liabilities assumed by Realogy and Wyndham in connection with their disposition and (iii) risks related to leases which have been assumed by Realogy, Wyndham or Travelport but of which the Company is a guarantor. Concentrations of credit risk associated with trade receivables are considered minimal due to the Company’s diverse customer base. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.
	Fair Value
	Derivative instruments and hedging activities
	As described above, derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate contracts and commodity contracts.
	Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain collateral support provisions that require the Company to post cash collateral to the extent that these derivatives are in a liability position. The aggregate fair value of such derivatives that are in a liability position and the aggregate fair value of assets needed to settle these derivatives as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $2 million, for which the Company has posted cash collateral in the normal course of business.

Segment Information	'
		Segment Information
	The Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information from the Company’s operating segments. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company considered the nature of services provided, the geographical areas in which the segments operated and other relevant factors. The Company aggregates certain of its operating segments into its reportable segments.
	Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and “Adjusted EBITDA,” which the Company defines as income from continuing operations before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization, any impairment charge, restructuring expense, early extinguishment of debt costs, non-vehicle related interest, transaction-related costs and income taxes. In first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude restructuring expense and has recast its 2013, 2012 and 2011 Adjusted EBITDA to conform with the revised definition, consistent with the manner in which management assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

	Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements
	The following consolidating financial information presents Consolidating Condensed Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Consolidating Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and Consolidating Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 for: (i) Avis Budget Group, Inc. (the “Parent”); (ii) ABCR and Avis Budget Finance, Inc. (the “Subsidiary Issuers”); (iii) the guarantor subsidiaries; (iv) the non-guarantor subsidiaries; (v) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Subsidiary Issuers, the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (vi) the Company on a consolidated basis. The Subsidiary Issuers and the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent, either directly or indirectly. All guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. This financial information is being presented in relation to the Company’s guarantee of the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the notes issued by ABCR. See Note 13—Long-term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements for additional description of these guaranteed notes. The Senior Notes have separate investors than the equity investors of the Company and are guaranteed by the Parent and certain subsidiaries.
	Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. For purposes of the accompanying Consolidating Condensed Statements of Operations, certain expenses incurred by the Subsidiary Issuers are allocated to the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2012 and 2011 consolidating condensed financial statements to correct the classification of intercompany transactions to report them on a gross basis and to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassified amounts had no impact on reported net income, stockholders’ equity, or the net change in cash for the periods presented for the Parent, Subsidiary Issuer, Guarantor Subsidiaries, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, Eliminations or the Company on a consolidated basis.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Accounting Principles	'
	Accounting Principles
	The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions	'
	Use of Estimates and Assumptions
	The use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management is required in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates are based on management’s evaluation of historical trends and other information available when the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and may affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives revenue primarily through the operation and licensing of the Avis and Budget rental systems and by providing vehicle rentals and other services to business and leisure travelers and others. Other revenue includes sales of loss damage waivers and insurance products, fuel and fuel service charges, rentals of GPS navigation units and other items. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered to customers, the pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
	Vehicle rental and rental-related revenue is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented. Licensing revenue principally consists of royalties paid by the Company’s licensees and is recorded within other revenues as the licensees’ revenue is earned (over the rental period of a vehicle). The Company renews license agreements in the normal course of business and occasionally terminates, purchases or sells license agreements. In connection with ongoing fees that the Company receives from its licensees pursuant to license agreements, the Company is required to provide certain services, such as training, marketing and the operation of reservation systems. Revenue and expenses associated with gasoline, vehicle licensing and airport concessions are recorded on a gross basis within revenue and operating expenses.
Currency Translation	'
	Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the prevailing monthly average rate of exchange. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The accumulated currency translation adjustment as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $166 million and $193 million, respectively. Currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation (non-vehicle related) is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 20 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Useful lives are as follows:
	Buildings	30 years
	Furniture, fixtures & equipment	3 to 10 years
	Capitalized software	3 to 7 years
	Buses and support vehicles	4 to 15 years
	The Company capitalizes the costs of software developed for internal use when the preliminary project stage is completed and management (i) commits to funding the project and (ii) believes it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized on a straight-line basis commencing when such software is ready for its intended use. The net carrying value of software developed or obtained for internal use was $108 million and $71 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill represents the excess, if any, of the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, if any, over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but assesses it for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year at the reporting unit level. The Company assesses goodwill for such impairment by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value using the present value of expected future cash flows. When appropriate, comparative market multiples and other factors are used to corroborate the discounted cash flow results.
	Other intangible assets, primarily trademarks, with indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of an other intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are evaluated each reporting period to determine if circumstances warrant a revision to these lives.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company is required to assess long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the undiscounted expected future cash flows to be generated from such assets. Property and equipment is evaluated separately within each segment. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value.
Program Cash	'
	Program Cash
	Program cash primarily represents amounts specifically designated to purchase assets under vehicle programs and/or to repay the related debt.
Vehicles	'
	Vehicles
	Vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of the vehicles is recorded net of incentives and allowances from manufacturers. The Company acquires many of its rental vehicles pursuant to repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. Under these programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase vehicles at a specified price and date, or guarantee the depreciation rate for a specified period of time, subject to certain eligibility criteria (such as car condition and mileage requirements). The Company depreciates vehicles such that the net book value on the date of return to the manufacturers is intended to equal the contractual guaranteed residual values, thereby minimizing any gain or loss.
	Rental vehicles acquired outside of manufacturer repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are depreciated based upon their estimated residual values at their expected dates of disposition, after giving effect to anticipated conditions in the used car market, which are reviewed on a continuous basis. Any adjustments to depreciation are made prospectively.
	The estimation of residual values requires the Company to make assumptions regarding the age and mileage of the car at the time of disposal, as well as expected used vehicle auction market conditions. The Company periodically evaluates estimated residual values and adjusts depreciation rates as appropriate. Differences between actual residual values and those estimated result in a gain or loss on disposal and are recorded as part of vehicle depreciation at the time of sale. For 2013, 2012 and 2011, rental vehicles were depreciated at rates ranging from 1% to 43% per annum. Vehicle-related interest expense amounts are net of vehicle-related interest income of $9 million, $8 million and $8 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Advertising Expenses	'
	Advertising Expenses
	Advertising costs are generally expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expenses, recorded within selling, general and administrative expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, include radio, television, travel partner rewards programs, internet advertising and other advertising and promotions and were approximately $116 million, $127 million and $107 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Taxes	'
	Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
	The Company reports revenues net of any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company measures fair value of assets and liabilities and discloses the source for such fair value measurements. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as follows: Level 1, which refers to assets and liabilities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, which refers to assets and liabilities for which significant other observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which are valued based on significant unobservable inputs.
	The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (Level 1 inputs). In some cases where quoted market prices are not available, prices are derived by considering the yield of the benchmark security that was issued to initially price the instruments and adjusting this rate by the credit spread that market participants would demand for the instruments as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs). In situations where long-term borrowings are part of a conduit facility backed by short-term floating rate debt, the Company has determined that its carrying value approximates the fair value of this debt (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, accounts receivable, program cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
	The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate contracts and commodity contracts, and are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). 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 Company principally uses discounted cash flows to value these instruments. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, commodity prices, interest rate yield curves of the Company and counterparties, credit curves, counterparty creditworthiness and currency exchange rates. These factors are applied on a consistent basis and are based upon observable inputs where available.
Derivative Instruments	'
	Derivative Instruments
	Derivative instruments are used as part of the Company’s overall strategy to manage exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and gasoline costs. As a matter of policy, derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
	All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item. The effective portion of changes in fair value of a derivative that is designated as either a cash flow or net investment hedge, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognized in earnings within the same line item as the hedged item, including vehicle interest, net or interest related to corporate debt, net. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings. Amounts related to our derivative instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the nature of the hedged item (principally operating activities).
Investments	'
	Investments
	The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Common stock investments in affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity method of accounting. Available-for-sale securities are carried at current fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported net of taxes as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported currently in earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has investments in available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $6 million.
	Joint venture investments are typically accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records its proportional share of the joint venture’s net income or loss within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in several joint ventures with a carrying value of $53 million, recorded within non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Aggregate realized gains and losses on investments and dividend income are recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2013, the amount realized from the sale of certain equity investments was not material. During 2012 and 2011, the Company realized a gain of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, from the sale of equity investments.
Self-Insurance Reserves	'
	Self-Insurance Reserves
	The Consolidated Balance Sheets include $416 million and $407 million of liabilities associated with retained risks of liability to third parties as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Such liabilities relate primarily to public liability and third-party property damage claims, as well as claims arising from the sale of ancillary insurance products including but not limited to supplemental liability, personal effects protection and personal accident insurance. These obligations represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimated reserve requirements for such claims are recorded on an undiscounted basis utilizing actuarial methodologies and various assumptions which include, but are not limited to, the Company’s historical loss experience and projected loss development factors. The required liability is also subject to adjustment in the future based upon the changes in claims experience, including changes in the number of incidents and changes in the ultimate cost per incident. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
	The Consolidated Balance Sheets also include liabilities of approximately $59 million and $61 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to workers’ compensation, health and welfare and other employee benefit programs. The liabilities represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported, utilizing actuarial methodologies similar to those mentioned above. These amounts are included within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities.
Share-based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company’s policy is to record compensation expense for stock options, and restricted stock units that are time- and performance-based, for the portion of the award that is expected to vest. Compensation expense related to market-based restricted stock units is recognized provided that the requisite service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market condition is satisfied. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock units using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of stock-based and cash unit awards containing a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key inputs and assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model include the stock price of the award on the grant date, the expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the expected term, the expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s publicly traded, near-the-money stock options, and the valuation period is based on the vesting period of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and, since the Company does not currently pay or plan to pay a dividend on its common stock, the expected dividend yield was zero.
Business Combinations	'
	Business Combinations
	The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are recognized if fair value can be reasonably estimated at the acquisition date. The excess, if any, of (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer and the fair value of any non-controlling interest remaining in the acquiree, over (ii) the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Gains and losses on the re-acquisition of unfavorable license agreements are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon completion of the respective acquisition. Transaction-related costs incurred to effect a business combination are expensed as incurred, except for the cost to issue debt related to the acquisition.
Transaction-related Costs	'
	Transaction-related Costs
	Transaction-related costs are classified separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs comprise expenses related to the integration of the acquiree’s operations with those of the Company, including duplicate headcount costs for functions or positions that are integrated, costs associated with the implementation of incremental compliance-related programs, expenses for the implementation of best practices and process improvements, and expenses related to acquisition-related activities such as due-diligence and other advisory costs. Transaction-related costs in 2011 also include a non-cash charge related to the reacquired unfavorable license rights and losses on currency transactions related to the Avis Europe acquisition.
Currency Transactions	'
	.
	Currency Transactions
	The Company records the net gain or loss of currency transactions on certain intercompany loans and the unrealized gain or loss on intercompany loan hedges within interest expense related to corporate debt, net. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded losses of $11 million and $17 million, respectively, on such items. There was no such item in the year ended December 31, 2011.
New and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards During 2013
	In January 2013, as a result of the issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-2, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which provides companies the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether there are events or circumstances which would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	In January 2013, as a result of issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted, as required, ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires companies to disclose additional information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in incremental disclosure about activity and amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	On January 1, 2014, as a result of the issuance of a new accounting pronouncement, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which requires tax benefits to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As the Company incurred a net loss in 2011, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock warrants and issuable shares underlying the convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such period.

As the Company incurred a net loss in 2011, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock warrants and issuable shares underlying the convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such period.

As the Company incurred a net loss in 2011, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock warrants and issuable shares underlying the convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such period.
