        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The  Company's  original  operation,  acquired  in April  1987,  was the  Budget
franchise  for  the  San  Diego  metropolitan  area,  exclusive  of the  airport
location,  which it  acquired  in 1988.  The  Company  acquired  the  Albany and
Rochester,  New York  franchises and the Richmond,  Virginia  franchise in 1991.
Concurrent  with the Company's  initial public  offering on August 25, 1994, the
Company   purchased  the  Budget  operations  in  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania  and Cincinnati,  Ohio. In November 1994, the Company  acquired the
Fort  Wayne,  Indiana  Budget  franchise  and opened its first  retail car sales
facility in San Diego,  California.  The Company  acquired the Dayton,  Ohio and
Charlotte,  North  Carolina  Budget  franchises in January  1995,  the Hartford,
Connecticut  Budget franchise in March 1995 and the Los Angeles Budget franchise
in  October  1995.  During  1995,  the  Company  opened  four  retail  car sales
facilities,  including  locations  in  Philadelphia,   Pennsylvania;   Richmond,
Virginia;  Charlotte,  North  Carolina;  and a  second  location  in San  Diego,
California;  and  acquired  retail  car sales  facilities  in  Dayton,  Ohio and
Ontario, California. In February 1996, the Company acquired the Phoenix, Arizona
Budget  franchise  territory and VPSI, Inc., a commuter van pooling service with
operations in many regions  throughout  the United  States.  In April 1996,  the
Company opened two retail car sales facilities,  including its first facility in
Cincinnati,  Ohio and its second  facility in Dayton,  Ohio. In August 1996, the
Company  acquired  ValCar  Rental Car Sales,  Inc.,  the operator of four retail
vehicle sales facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically,  the Company's  operations  have been funded by cash provided from
operating   activities   and  by   financing   provided  by  banks,   automobile
manufacturers'  captive finance companies and leasing  companies.  The Company's
existing indebtedness at September 30, 1996 has interest rates ranging from 6.1%
to 10.3%. The Company intends to fund its operations through asset-backed notes,
revolving credit facilities with financial  institutions for fleet financing and
working  capital,  as well as  through  other  similar  facilities  and  through
placements or offerings of additional debt and/or equity securities.

At  September  30,  1996,  the  Company  has  $145.7   million   borrowed  under
asset-backed  notes which are utilized to finance vehicles  eligible for certain
manufacturers' guaranteed repurchase programs.  Proceeds from the notes that are
temporarily  unutilized for vehicle  financing are maintained in restricted cash
accounts with the trustee.  The notes are collateralized by the secured vehicles
and the restricted cash accounts.  Rates on asset-backed  notes at September 30,
1996 range from 6.1% to 6.8%.

The Company's other vehicle  obligations  consist of outstanding lines of credit
to  purchase  rental  fleet and retail  car sales  inventory.  Revolving  credit
facilities are in place with various  financial  institutions with rates ranging
from 7.0% to 10.3% at  September  30,  1996.  Collateralized  lines of credit at
September  30, 1996 consist of $244 million for rental  vehicles and $26 million
for retail car sales  inventory with maturity dates ranging from October 1996 to
October 1997. Vehicle obligations are collateralized by revenue earning vehicles
financed  under these credit  facilities  and proceeds  from the sale,  lease or
rental of rental vehicles and retail car sales inventory.  Interest payments for
rental fleet  facilities  are due monthly at annual  interest rates ranging from
7.0% to 10.3% at September 30, 1996. Management expects vehicle obligations will
generally be repaid  within one year from the balance  sheet date with  proceeds
received  from either the  repurchase  of the vehicles by the  manufacturers  in
accordance  with the terms of the  manufacturers'  rental fleet programs or from
the sale of the vehicles.

Monthly payments of interest only for retail car sales inventory obligations are
required at an annual  interest rate of 8.5% at September  30, 1996.  Retail car
sales inventory  obligations are paid when the inventory is sold but in no event
later than 120 days after the date of purchase.

The Company has a facility in the amount of $13 million for working  capital and
the purchase of retail car sales inventory, which bears interest payable monthly
at a rate of 7.4% at  September  30,  1996.  This  facility,  which  expires  in
December 1996, is collateralized by accounts receivable,  inventory,  equipment,
general intangibles,  investments and all other personal property of the Company
and guarantees of the Company's subsidiaries. Under the terms of this agreement,
the Company is required to pay  commitment  fees  quarterly  equal to 0.125% per
annum on the maximum amount of credit available under the credit facility and an
annual agent fee of $50,000 as long as the facility has an outstanding  balance.
This  agreement  is subject to certain  covenants  which  require the Company to
maintain  certain  financial  ratios and minimum tangible net worth and prohibit
the payment of cash  dividends.  At September  30,  1996,  there were no amounts
outstanding under this working capital facility.


Change in Financial Condition

Total assets increased $122.9 million, or 31.8%, from $386.3 million at December
31,  1995 to $509.2  million at  September  30,  1996.  This  increase  resulted
primarily from increases in revenue-earning vehicles of $107.6 million, accounts
receivable  of $17.2  million and  franchise  rights of $16.4  million and other
assets  of $25.1  million  that were  primarily  the  result of the  acquisition
activity  discussed  above,  which was somewhat offset by a decrease in cash and
cash equivalents and restricted cash of $43.4 million  resulting from the use of
cash to  finance  vehicle  purchases  in the first  nine  months of 1996.  Total
liabilities  increased $66.9 million,  or 19.4%, from $344.7 million at December
31, 1995 to $411.6  million at September 30, 1996 due primarily to an additional
$62.6 million of net borrowings for financing vehicle acquisitions and increases
in accounts  payable and other accrued  liabilities of $12.8 million relating to
the  increased  size of the Company at September  30, 1996,  which was offset in
part by $8.5 million of non-vehicle debt principal  repayments.  The increase in
stockholders'  equity of  approximately  $56.0 million  resulted from additional
shares issued in a stock  offering in July 1996 in the amount of $44.4  million,
additional  shares  issued in  conjunction  with the Arizona Rent a Car Systems,
Inc.  acquisition  totaling $2.7 million,  additional  paid-in  capital from the
issuance of stock  warrants in the amount of $0.7 million and net income of $8.2
million earned in the first nine months of 1996.

Results of Operations

General  Operating  Results.  Net  income  for the  first  nine  months  of 1996
increased $.35 per share, or 59%, from $.59 for the first nine months of 1995 to
$.94 for the first nine months of 1996. Net income for the third quarter of 1996
of $0.42 per  share  included  $1.3  million,  or $.08 per share net of tax,  of
non-recurring  bank fees  incurred for bridge  financing  prior to the Company's
secondary stock offering in July 1996.  Income before provision for income taxes
increased  over three  times from $4.1  million in first nine  months of 1995 to
$12.6 million for the  comparable  period of 1996.  This increase was due to the
Company's  acquisition  activity  and the  growth  of the  Company's  car  sales
operations  from five  locations at September 30, 1995 to thirteen  locations at
September 30, 1996.  Operating income increased over 80% to $15.2 million in the
third quarter of 1996 as compared to $8.4 million operating income earned in the
comparable  period of 1995.  Operating  income for the  nine-month  period ended
September 30, 1996  increased  $20.5  million,  or 160%, to $33.3  million.  The
increase in  operating  income in the third  quarter was  somewhat  offset by an
increase in net interest  expense of $4.9 million,  or 135%, due primarily to an
increase in the vehicle fleet due to the  acquisitions of the Budget  franchises
in Arizona  and  Southern  California  and VPSI,  and due to an  increase in the
provision for income taxes of $1.2 million due to the enhanced  profitability of
the Company in 1996.

Operating Revenues. Vehicle rental revenues increased $33.0 million, or 111%, in
the third  quarter of 1996 as compared to the  comparable  period of 1995.  Such
revenues for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 1996  increased  $95.7
million from $70.8 million in 1995 to $166.5  million in the current  year.  The
increase in rental  revenues is due primarily to the increase in the size of the
Company  from  operating  99  rental  locations  in  eleven  franchise  areas at
September 30, 1995 to operating 155 locations in thirteen franchise  territories
at September 30, 1996 and to the  acquisition  of VPSI,  Inc. in February  1996.
This increased size resulted in an increase in the number of rental revenue days
from 711,000 in the third quarter of 1995 to 1,369,000 days in 1996. The average
rental term  increased from 4.0 days in the third quarter of 1995 to 4.2 days in
the comparable  period of 1996.  Vehicle  rental  revenues also increased in the
third quarter of 1996 due to the inclusion of $8.1 million of revenues earned by
VPSI for which there were no corresponding  revenues in 1995.  Revenues from the
Company's retail car sales operations increased $26.1 million from $12.7 million
in the third quarter of 1995 to $38.8 million in the comparable  period of 1996,
due to the expansion of the Company's car sales  facilities  from four locations
at September 30, 1995 to thirteen locations at September 30, 1996.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased  approximately $143.6 million,
or 171%, to $227.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 as
compared  to $84.2  million  for the same  period  in 1995.  The  growth  of the
Company's vehicle rental operations through the acquisitions discussed above was
the principal cause of all of the increases to the Company's operating expenses.
Vehicle depreciation  increased  approximately $24.2 million, or 122%, due to an
increase in fleet of 7,800 vehicles.  Personnel  costs  increased  approximately
142% in the first nine months of 1996 as compared  to the  comparable  period of
1995 due to an increase of  approximately  1,300  employees  since September 30,
1995.  Advertising expenses increased from $6.5 million to $17.1 million for the
first  nine  months  of 1996  due to the  increase  in the  size  of the  rental
operations  and due to the growth of the retail car sales  operations  from five
markets at September  30, 1995 to thirteen  markets at September  30, 1996.  The
retail car sales business typically incurs greater  advertising expense than the
car rental business.  Facilities expense increased $7.5 million, or 102%, due to
the addition of 56 locations since September 30, 1995.  Other operating  expense
increases were due to the increased volume of rental business resulting from the
1995 and 1996 acquisitions.

Other (Income) Expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
from $8.7  million  for the first nine  months of 1995 to $20.7  million for the
first nine months of 1996. Vehicle interest expense increased approximately $3.2
million  in the third  quarter  of 1996 due to the  increase  in the size of the
Company's rental fleet from  approximately  7,800 vehicles at September 30, 1995
to  approximately  15,600  vehicles at September 30, 1996. The Company's cost of
funds  decreased  approximately  0.4% per annum in the third  quarter of 1996 as
compared to the third  quarter of 1995,  due  primarily  to the  decrease in the
LIBOR rate, upon which most of the Company's debt is based.  Nonvehicle interest
and other expense, net of interest income,  increased approximately $1.7 million
in the third quarter of 1996,  from  approximately  $0.2 million in 1995 to $1.9
million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to  approximately  $1.3 million
in nonrecurring  bank fees in the form of cash and stock warrants paid to a bank
for a bridge  financing  that was  repaid in July 1996  with  proceeds  from the
Company's issuance of common stock.

Provision  for income  taxes.  The  provision  for income taxes  increased  $3.9
million  from $0.5 million for the first nine months of 1995 to $4.4 million for
the comparable period of 1996. The tax provision is calculated at a rate of 35%.
The increase in provision is due to the enhanced profitability in the first nine
months of 1996 as compared to 1995.
