In 1992 Budget became a subsidiary of the Budget Corporation. In November 2002 Budget rent a Car became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cendant Corporation, a US company with its shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Today the company operates in Australia through a combination of corporate owned sites and licensees, all proud to represent the values of Budget. Together the combined network operates from more than 240 locations covering every state and territory. By exceeding the demands of its customers Budget has became and continues to be, the market leader nationwide for truck rentals.
