Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Avis Budget Group, Inc. provides mobility solutions to businesses and consumers worldwide. The accompanying unaudited Condensed 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, “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. We operate the following reportable business segments: •Americas - consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in the areas in which we do not operate directly. •International - consisting primarily of (i) vehicle rental operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, (ii) car sharing operations in certain of these markets, and (iii) licensees in the areas in which we do not operate directly. The operating results of acquired businesses are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the dates of acquisition. We consolidate joint venture activities when we have a controlling interest and record non-controlling interests within stockholders’ equity and the statement of comprehensive income equal to the percentage of ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling party. In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2024 Form 10-K. Cash and cash equivalents, Program cash and Restricted cash. The following table provides a detail of cash and cash equivalents, program and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
| As of March 31,
| 2025 |  | 2024
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 516 |  |  | $ | 522 |
Program cash | 87 |  |  | 73 |
Restricted cash (a) | 4 |  |  | 4 |
Total cash and cash equivalents, program and restricted cash | $ | 607 |  |  | $ | 599 |
__________ (a)Included within other current assets. Vehicle Programs. We present separately the financial data of our vehicle programs. These programs are distinct from our 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 our vehicle programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our vehicle programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets. Transaction-related costs, net. Transaction-related costs, net are classified separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. These costs are comprised of expenses primarily related to acquisition-related activities such as due diligence and other advisory costs, expenses related to the integration of the acquiree’s operations with our own operations, including the implementation of best practices and process improvements, non-cash gains and losses related to re-acquired rights, expenses related to pre-acquisition contingencies and contingent consideration related to acquisitions. Currency Transactions. We record the gain or loss on foreign currency transactions on certain intercompany loans and the gain or loss on intercompany loan hedges within interest expense related to corporate debt, net. Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). We review our investments to determine if they are VIEs. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. Entities that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. We will reconsider our original assessment of a VIE upon the occurrence of certain events such as contributions and redemptions, either by us, or third parties, or amendments to an entity’s governing documents. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider whether we are deemed to be a VIE’s primary beneficiary. We account for VIEs where we are not the primary beneficiary under the equity method. Our former subsidiary, Avis Mobility Ventures LLC (“AMV”), is a VIE. We lack the ability to direct the significant activities of AMV and are not its primary beneficiary. As such, we account for AMV under the equity method. See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions. Investments. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had equity method investments with a carrying value o f $106 million and $100 million, respectively, which are included in other non-current assets. Earnings from our equity method investments are included within operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income of $2 million and $3 million related to our equity method investments, respectively. See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions for our equity method investment in AMV. Revenues. Revenues are recognized under Leases (Topic 842), with the exception of royalty fee revenue derived from our licensees and revenue related to our customer loyalty program, which were approximately $45 million and $42 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by geography:

__________ (a)Other includes Zipcar and other operating brands. Reclassification We reclassified certain items within operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net cash provided by operating activities. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures On January 1, 2024, as the result of a new accounting pronouncement, we adopted ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which amends Topic 280 primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The update was effective in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and became effective on an interim basis beginning on January 1, 2025. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement has resulted in incremental disclosures within Note 17 – Segment Information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures On January 1, 2025, as the result of a new accounting pronouncement, we adopted ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which amends Topic 740 primarily through enhanced income tax disclosures, improving transparency into the factors affecting income tax expense. We expect to include certain additional income tax disclosures in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which amends Topic 220 primarily through requiring disclosures in the notes to financial statements about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. ASU 2024-03 becomes effective for us on January 1, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement.
