History
Two Budget rental trucks parked in Durham, North Carolina.

Rental Truck Group was formed in June 1998 when Budget Group Incorporated bought Ryder TRS, Inc., and they joined together to form Budget Truck Group. In 2002 Ryder TRS was integrated with Budget Truck Rental, removing Ryder branding from locations and trucks.

In the 2000 US Presidential Election, a Budget Truck Rental vehicle was used to deliver the deciding ballots from Palm Beach, Florida to Tallahassee, Florida. Budget Truck sold the truck that was used, donating US$67,100 to the American Red Cross from its sale. [6]

In November 2002 Budget sold its truck and car businesses to Cherokee Acquisition Corporation, which is owned by Cendant Corporation.[7]

In September 2006 Budget Rent a Car, Avis Rent a Car, and Budget Truck Rental were spun off by Cendant as a separate company, Avis Budget Group. In 2007, its headquarters was transferred to Morris County, New Jersey.[2]
