History
Following the decision to dissolve the Cendant company name and split into four separate companies, the vehicle rental division of Cendant became Avis Budget Group in 2006.[9]
In 2011, Avis Budget Group acquired Avis Europe, an independently owned company licensee, globally reuniting the Avis and Budget brands.[10]
On September 5, 2012, Avis Budget Group acquired Apex Car Rentals of New Zealand.[11]
On March 14, 2013, Avis Budget Group purchased carsharing company Zipcar for about US$500 million in cash.[12][13]
On April 9, 2015, Avis Budget Group announced it had completed the acquisition of Maggiore Group, Italy's fourth-largest vehicle rental company.[14]
The company's stock value rose dramatically due to increase demand for car rentals during the COVID-19 pandemic[15] and it became a meme stock in November 2021, with shares at one point doubling in a single day.[16] Despite rising revenues, the value of the stock began to decline in 2024 due to rising federal interest rates and declining values for used cars.[17]
