AVIS BUDGET GROUP REPORTS RECLASSIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED CASH FLOWS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2007

Parsippany, N.J. 05-10-2007 — Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAR) today reported a modification to the presentation of its cash flows contained on the tables that accompanied the Company's May 2 announcement of its results for its first quarter, which ended March 31, 2007. Such modification results from a reclassification of $45 million from cash provided by operations to cash provided by (used in) investing activities. The reclassified amount represents cash payments received from Realogy and Wyndham for the settlement of reimbursable transactions in connection with the separation of Cendant Corporation in 2006. The Company has included in this release a revised table to its first quarter earnings announcement reflecting this reclassification. The Company's aggregate cash flows, income statement and balance sheet for first quarter 2007 are not impacted by this reclassification. Furthermore, the Company reiterated that, over time, its Free Cash Flow is expected to approximate pretax income and noted that this estimate is unaffected by this reclassification.
