                              Class A Common Stock
                                ($.01 par value)
                             ---------------------
The 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of Team Rental Group, Inc. ("TEAM")
offered hereby are being sold by TEAM in connection with the acquisition by TEAM
   of all the outstanding capital stock of Budget Rent a Car Corporation (the
"Budget Acquisition"). The net proceeds of the Offering, together with a portion
   of the net proceeds of concurrent financing transactions, will be used to
                        finance the Budget Acquisition.
Of the 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being offered, 6,000,000 shares
(the "U.S. Shares") are initially being offered in the United States and Canada
    by the U.S. Underwriters (the "U.S. Offering") and 1,500,000 shares (the
  "International Shares") are initially being concurrently offered outside the
  United States and Canada by the Managers (the "International Offering" and,
    together with the U.S. Offering, the "Offering"). The offering price and
      underwriting discounts and commissions of the U.S. Offering and the
                     International Offering are identical.
The Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under
the symbol "BD." On April 23, 1997, the last reported sale price of the Class A
  Common Stock on the NYSE was $21.875 per share. See "Price Range of Common
                                   Stock."
 TEAM has two classes of Common Stock, the Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and the Class B Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"). Holders of the Class A Common Stock
 are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Class B Common Stock are
entitled to ten votes per share. Upon completion of the Offering, the principal
  executive officers of TEAM will retain 53.8% of the combined voting power of
          both classes of Common Stock. See "Principal Stockholders."
TEAM has arranged to place, concurrently with the consummation of the Offering,
  (i) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.85% Convertible Subordinated
 Notes, Series B, due 2007 and (ii) $165,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
 9.57% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Debt Placements").
 The Debt Placements are private offerings and will not be registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. TEAM is also concurrently entering into new
  credit facilities for fleet financings (the "New Fleet Financings") with an
 aggregate commitment of $1.4 billion. Consummation of the Offering will occur
     concurrently with, and is conditioned upon, consummation of the Budget
         Acquisition, the Debt Placements and the New Fleet Financings.

                                  BUDGET GROUP
 
     Budget Group and its franchisees operate the third largest worldwide
general use car and truck rental system, with approximately 3,200 locations and
a peak fleet size during 1996 of 266,000 cars and 18,000 trucks. The Budget
System includes locations in both the airport and local (downtown and suburban)
markets in all major metropolitan areas in the United States, in many other
small and mid-size U.S. markets and in more than 110 countries worldwide. Pro
forma for the Budget Acquisition, the Budget System included approximately 455
company-owned locations in the United States at December 31, 1996, accounting
for approximately 76% of 1996 U.S. system-wide revenues. In addition, Budget
franchisees operated approximately 500 royalty-paying franchise locations in the
United States at December 31, 1996. Budget is one of only three vehicle rental
systems that offer rental vehicles throughout the world under a single brand
name, with locations in Europe, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East,
Asia/Pacific and Africa. The Budget System currently maintains more local market
rental locations throughout the world than its major competitors. The Budget
System is also unique among major car rental systems in that it rents trucks in
most major markets worldwide. The Budget System's consumer truck rental fleet is
the fourth largest in the United States.
 
     Budget Group is also one of the largest independent retailers of late model
vehicles in the United States, operating 22 retail car sales facilities with pro
forma revenues of $246.9 million for 1996. Upon consummation of the Budget
Acquisition, Budget Group will continue to operate its retail car sales
facilities under the name "Budget Car Sales."
 
                                   BACKGROUND
 
     On January 13, 1997, TEAM (the largest Budget franchisee in the United
States) entered into stock purchase agreements (the "Stock Purchase Agreements")
with Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), BRACC and the common stockholder of BRACC,
pursuant to which TEAM agreed to acquire the capital stock of BRACC. The total
amount of funds required by TEAM to consummate the Budget Acquisition is
expected to be approximately $275.0 million, which will be financed in part
through the sale of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby. TEAM will also
issue to Ford approximately 4,500 shares of a new series of non-voting preferred
stock (the "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"), which does not carry a
dividend and which will be convertible into 4,500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock (subject to adjustment in certain cases), representing upon conversion
approximately 21.1% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock after giving effect
to the Offering. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will
automatically be converted into 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at such
time as the record ownership of such share of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is transferred to or held by any person or any entity other than Ford or
any affiliate of Ford. TEAM is also obligated under the Stock Purchase
Agreements to refinance approximately $886.6 million of indebtedness outstanding
under BRACC's existing fleet financing facilities. See "The Budget Acquisition"
and "Use of Proceeds." For information with respect to the operations of TEAM
and BRACC prior to the Budget Acquisition, see "Business of Budget Group."

                                    STRATEGY
 
     Management's long-term strategy is to create an automotive services company
which leverages the asset base and expertise of Budget Group. Budget Group's
assets include a trade name that is recognized around the world; locations for
the rental, sale and maintenance of vehicles; a workforce that is proficient in
acquiring, financing, monitoring, maintaining and selling cars and trucks; and
advanced information systems to support these operations. Increasing the
utilization of these assets by acquiring automobile-related businesses would
reduce Budget Group's unit costs and increase profitability. In the near term,
management has developed a business strategy designed to increase the revenues
and improve the profitability of Budget Group. Key elements of this strategy are
as follows:
 
          Enhance the Budget Brand.  Following the Budget Acquisition, the
     Budget System will be approximately 76% company-owned in the United States,
     giving Budget Group a percentage of company-owned locations that management
     believes to be higher than many of its principal competitors. Management
     believes this high level of corporate ownership is a competitive advantage
     in the marketplace. It facilitates more consistent delivery of high quality
     services and improved operations and communications, thereby strengthening
     the Budget brand name among customers. In addition, Budget Group's
     structure will facilitate national advertising and marketing programs
     designed to increase the public's awareness of the Budget brand. Management
     believes that there will be continuing opportunities to further consolidate
     the Budget System by acquiring additional franchise operations, and that
     such consolidation will further strengthen the Budget brand.
 
          Improve the Performance of Car Rental Operations.  Historically, TEAM
     has enhanced the profitability of its acquired franchise territories by
     reducing operating costs and increasing rental revenue. Similarly, in 1996,
     BRACC began initiatives that are already significantly improving the
     performance of its company-owned operations. Upon completion of the Budget
     Acquisition, management believes Budget Group will be able to combine key
     elements of the TEAM and BRACC strategies to achieve even greater operating
     efficiencies. Budget Group expects to undertake significant initiatives to
     (i) enhance the performance of its U.S. car rental operations, (ii)
     capitalize on the increased level of company-owned locations, (iii)
     increase its marketing to corporate accounts, (iv) place increased emphasis
     on the leisure and local rental markets, and (v) expand and improve
     Budget's international operations.
 
          Continue to Expand Retail Car Sales Operations.  The increased cost of
     new cars and the improved reliability of low-mileage, late model cars have
     contributed to greater market demand for late model cars in recent years.
     Budget Group, with 22 retail car sales facilities and pro forma car sales
     revenues of $246.9 million for 1996, will be one of the largest independent
     retailers of late model vehicles in the United States. Budget Group plans
     to establish a nationally recognized retail car sales operation which will
     provide low-mileage, late model vehicles to consumers in a new car sales
     environment under the Budget Car Sales brand.
 
          Expand Truck Rental Operations.  The Budget System is unique among
     major car rental systems in that it rents trucks to consumers and
     commercial users in most major markets worldwide, with the fourth largest
     consumer truck rental fleet in the United States. Management expects Budget
     Group to add truck rental locations in various markets, particularly in
     conjunction with the addition of new local market locations. Management
     believes that adding truck rental locations will leverage certain fixed
     costs and increase consumer awareness of the Budget brand, while favorable
     pricing trends in the truck rental market are expected to provide
     attractive returns on invested capital.

                             THE BUDGET ACQUISITION
 
     On January 13, 1997, TEAM entered into the Stock Purchase Agreements,
pursuant to which TEAM agreed to acquire the capital stock of BRACC. The
consideration to be paid by TEAM pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements
consists of (i) approximately $275.0 million in cash (the "Cash Consideration")
and (ii) the issuance to Ford of 4,500 shares of TEAM's newly created Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Equity Consideration"), each subject to
adjustment as described herein. See "The Budget Acquisition." Each share of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be non-voting, will not carry a
dividend and will automatically be converted into 1,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock at such time as the record ownership of such share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is transferred to or held by any person or any entity other than
Ford or any affiliate of Ford. The average closing price for the three-day
period surrounding January 13, 1997 of TEAM's Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq
National Market was $23.50, resulting in the value of 4,500,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock of approximately $105.8 million. Under the Stock Purchase
Agreements, BRACC will be obligated to repay a portion of its outstanding
indebtedness to Ford (as described in note (d) below), and Ford will cancel a
portion of the remaining outstanding BRACC indebtedness (as described in note
(c) below). The obligations of TEAM, Ford, BRACC and the other parties to the
Stock Purchase Agreements to consummate the Budget Acquisition are subject to
the satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions. The consummation of the
Offering will occur concurrently with, and is conditioned upon, consummation of
the Budget Acquisition, the Debt Placements and the New Fleet Financings, and
will provide a portion of the financing for the Budget Acquisition.
 
     The estimated sources and uses of consideration required to complete the
Budget Acquisition are presented in the following table (assuming consummation
of the Transactions (as defined in "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
of Budget Group") on April 23, 1997):

                             RECENT RESULTS OF TEAM
 
     On April 17, 1997, TEAM announced its financial results for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997. Total operating revenues increased 55.7% to $102.4 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $65.8 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996. Operating income increased 12.5% to $8.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 from $7.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Net
income increased to $848,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $154,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 (after adjusting to exclude the effect of
non-recurring automobile incentives recognized in 1996). Net income per common
share increased from $0.02 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 to
$0.08 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 (after such adjustment). The
recognition of automobile incentives in the quarter ended March 31, 1996
increased net income from $0.02 per share to $0.18 per share. This information

and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. This financial data

                  SUMMARY OPERATING DATA FOR THE BUDGET SYSTEM
 
     The following tables set forth summary operating data of the Budget System
for the year ended, and as of, December 31, 1996. References to revenues of the
Budget System include revenues received by BRACC and its franchisees for the
rental of cars and trucks. The respective revenue contributions of locations
owned by Budget Group or BRACC (referred to as "company-owned" locations) have
been determined by reference to the size of the vehicle fleet operated from
those locations, in that fleet size generally corresponds to revenue
contribution for any particular period. Company-owned and franchised Budget
locations operate within the integrated Budget System and management believes
that system-wide data are useful in analyzing the operations and market position
of the overall Budget System, as well as the relative contributions of
company-owned and franchised locations. Operations and operating data for
franchisees set forth or reflected in system-wide data are based on reports
provided to BRACC by franchisees in accordance with their franchise agreements
and are not based on audited historical financial statements of those
franchisees.

     This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to
the financial condition, results of operations and business of TEAM and BRACC,
including statements under the captions "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors in
addition to other information included in this Prospectus before purchasing any
of the shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE; ABILITY TO SERVICE DEBT
 
     Following consummation of the Budget Acquisition Transactions (as defined
in "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of Budget Group"), Budget Group
will have substantial indebtedness and will have significant debt service
requirements. As of December 31, 1996, pro forma for the Budget Acquisition
Transactions, Budget Group's total indebtedness would have been approximately
$1,924.9 million (representing 84.8% of its total capitalization), of which
$1,569.8 million represented senior secured indebtedness for the purchase of
vehicles and $355.1 million represented unsecured non-vehicle indebtedness
(representing 15.6% of its total capitalization). As of December 31, 1996, on a
pro forma basis, Budget Group had $1,000.9 million of incremental availability
under its vehicle financing facilities to finance the purchase of fleet
vehicles. The degree to which Budget Group is leveraged will have important
consequences for holders of the Class A Common Stock, including the following:
(i) the ability of Budget Group to obtain additional financing in the future,
whether for working capital, fleet purchases, acquisitions or other purposes,
may be impaired; (ii) a substantial portion of Budget Group's cash flow from
operations will be required to be dedicated to the payment of principal and
interest on its indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available to Budget Group
for other purposes; (iii) Budget Group's flexibility in planning for or reacting
to changes in market conditions may be limited; (iv) Budget Group may be more
vulnerable in the event of a downturn in its business; and (v) because a
substantial portion of its indebtedness will bear interest at floating rates,
any increase in prevailing interest rates would result in an increase in
interest expense incurred by Budget Group, which could have an adverse effect on
its results of operations. See "Capitalization," "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of TEAM -- Liquidity
and Capital Resources -- Pro Forma Liquidity and Capital Resources for Budget
Group" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness."
 
     The ability of Budget Group to meet its debt service obligations will
depend on its future operating performance and financial results, which will be
subject in part to factors beyond the control of Budget Group. Although
management believes that Budget Group's cash flow will be adequate to meet its
interest and principal payments, there can be no assurance that Budget Group
will continue to generate earnings in the future sufficient to cover its fixed
charges. If Budget Group is unable to generate earnings in the future sufficient
to cover its fixed charges and is unable to borrow sufficient funds under its
existing credit lines or from other sources, it may be required to refinance all
or a portion of its existing indebtedness or to sell all or a portion of its
assets. There can be no assurance that a refinancing would be possible, nor can
there be any assurance as to the timing of any asset sales or the proceeds which
Budget Group could realize therefrom. In addition, the terms of certain
indebtedness of Budget Group restrict the ability of Budget Group to sell assets
and the use of the proceeds therefrom. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of TEAM -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources -- Pro Forma Liquidity and Capital Resources for Budget
Group."
 
     If for any reason, including a shortfall in anticipated operating results
or proceeds from asset sales, Budget Group were unable to meet its debt service
obligations, it would be in default under the terms of its indebtedness. In the
event of such a default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare
all of such indebtedness immediately due and payable, including accrued and
unpaid interest, and to terminate their commitments (if any) with respect to
funding obligations under such indebtedness. In addition, such holders could
proceed against their collateral, which, in the case of the fleet financing
facilities, consists of substantially all of Budget Group's fleet. Any default
with respect to any of Budget Group's indebtedness could result in a default
under other indebtedness or result in a bankruptcy of Budget Group.
 
AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING
 
     TEAM and BRACC depend upon third-party financing to purchase their fleet
vehicles. Continued availability of such financing on favorable terms will be
critical to Budget Group's operations. As of December 31, 1996, on a pro forma
basis, 66.0% of Budget Group's indebtedness was incurred in connection with
major vehicle manufacturers' vehicle repurchase programs. As a result, a
significant change in the credit
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   15
 
quality of the vehicle manufacturers, particularly Ford, would significantly
affect Budget Group's ability to obtain such financing on favorable terms. In
addition, certain events, such as a material increase in damage to vehicles,
could reduce the value of the collateral securing Budget Group's fleet financing
facilities and cause the acceleration of the repayment of such facilities. An
inability of Budget Group to obtain vehicle financing on favorable terms would
have a material adverse effect on Budget Group's financial condition and results
of operations. There can be no assurance that the sources of financing utilized
by TEAM and BRACC or alternative financing will remain or become available to
Budget Group or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to
Budget Group. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations of TEAM -- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Pro
Forma Liquidity and Capital Resources for Budget Group."
 
MANAGEMENT OF BUDGET GROUP
 
     The Budget Acquisition is significantly larger than any of TEAM's previous
acquisitions and the combination and integration of the respective operations of
TEAM and BRACC will be of a substantially greater scale than previously
undertaken by either company. The difficulties of managing such combination and
integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating the operations of
geographically diverse organizations, of integrating different strategies and
operating systems, of integrating management and operating personnel from both
companies and of managing a worldwide franchise system. The success of Budget
Group following the Budget Acquisition will depend on the ability of Budget
Group's management team to: (a) manage a significantly larger organization than
TEAM's existing business, (b) maintain and further develop relationships with
Budget franchisees and (c) conduct operations on a worldwide basis. There can be
no assurance that Budget Group's management team will be able to successfully
manage the combined operations of TEAM and BRACC. An inability to successfully
manage the integration of TEAM and BRACC would have a material adverse effect on
Budget Group's results of operations and financial condition.
 
GROWTH STRATEGY
 
     Following the Budget Acquisition, management expects Budget Group to
undertake initiatives to increase its revenues and improve its profitability.
Management expects to increase the size of Budget Group's operations by
acquiring the operations of certain franchisees, enhancing its operations
outside the United States, expanding its retail car sales operations, adding car
rental locations in its existing markets, adding truck rental locations and
expanding its truck rental fleet, and increasing its marketing efforts to
corporate accounts. In addition, management expects Budget Group to realize
certain cost savings and other operating efficiencies as a result of the
implementation of its business strategy. Increasing the revenues of Budget
Group, and realizing cost savings and other operating efficiencies, could be
affected by a number of factors beyond Budget Group's control, such as general
economic conditions, increased operating costs, competitive conditions in the
vehicle rental industry and regulatory developments. See "Business of Budget
Group -- Strategy." Each of these initiatives will involve risks to Budget
Group, and there can be no assurance that Budget Group will be successful in
growing its business after completion of the Budget Acquisition or that Budget
Group will achieve the expected cost savings and other operating efficiencies.
In addition, Budget Group's substantial leverage could affect its success in
growing its business. See "-- Substantial Leverage; Ability to Service Debt."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The vehicle rental industry is characterized by intense competition,
particularly with respect to price and service. In any geographic market, Budget
Group may encounter competition from national, regional and local vehicle rental
companies. Budget's main competitors in the car rental market are The Hertz
Corporation ("Hertz"), Avis, Inc. ("Avis"), Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc. ("Alamo"),
National Car Rental System, Inc. ("National"), and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company
("Enterprise"). In consumer truck rentals, Budget faces competition from U-Haul
International, Inc. ("U-Haul"), Ryder TRS, Inc. ("Ryder") and Penske Truck
Rental ("Penske"). There have been occasions when the major vehicle rental
companies have been adversely affected by industry-wide price cutting, and TEAM
and BRACC have on such occasions lowered their prices in response.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   16
 
Budget Group will not generally be able to unilaterally raise its prices or to
maintain its prices in times of industry-wide price cutting. See "Business of
Budget Group -- Competition."
 
     The retail car sales industry also is characterized by intense competition,
consisting primarily of local new car dealerships selling new and late model
cars. Budget Group believes that competition for the customer seeking to
purchase a late model car is based primarily on price and selection, while a
customer originally intending to purchase a new car may select a late model car
based on perceived value. In addition to local dealerships, Budget Group may
face competition from retailers such as CarMax and AutoNation that compete on
the basis of large inventory size, no-haggle pricing and after-sale service.
 
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY INDEBTEDNESS
 
     The terms of Budget Group's indebtedness include a number of significant
covenants that, among other things, will restrict the ability of Budget Group to
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, repay other
indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments or acquisitions,
repurchase or redeem capital stock, engage in mergers or consolidations, or
engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict corporate
activities. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not adversely
affect Budget Group's ability to finance its future operations or capital needs
or to engage in other business activities that may be in the interest of Budget
Group. In addition, the terms of certain of such indebtedness will also require
Budget Group to comply with certain financial tests. The ability of Budget Group
to comply with such covenants may be affected by events beyond Budget Group's
control. A breach of any of these covenants or the inability of Budget Group to
comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under such
indebtedness. In the event of any such default, the lenders under such
indebtedness could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding under such
indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be due and
payable, to require Budget Group to apply all of its available cash to repay
such borrowings or to prevent Budget Group from making scheduled debt service
payments. If Budget Group were unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the
lenders could proceed against their collateral. If the indebtedness of Budget
Group under such collateralized indebtedness or other indebtedness were to be
accelerated, there can be no assurance that the assets of Budget Group would be
sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full. In certain previous instances,
TEAM has failed to comply with certain covenants under its working capital
facility and has obtained waivers from the lenders thereunder. See Note 6 of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of TEAM. There can be no
assurance that Budget Group will be able to comply with these covenants in the
future or that it will continue to be able to obtain any necessary waivers. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of TEAM -- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Pro Forma Liquidity and
Capital Resources for Budget Group" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness."
 
POTENTIAL CHANGES IN MANUFACTURERS' REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
 
     Approximately 85% of the vehicles purchased by TEAM and approximately 88%
of the vehicles purchased by BRACC in model year 1996 were eligible for
repurchase by specified automobile manufacturers at fixed prices on designated
dates pursuant to such manufacturers' vehicle repurchase programs ("Program
Vehicles"). The availability of Program Vehicles limits a car rental company's
risk of a decline in residual value at the time of disposition and enables it to
fix its depreciation expense in advance. Vehicle depreciation is the largest
cost factor in the vehicle rental operations of TEAM and BRACC. Management
believes that manufacturers' repurchase programs enable the manufacturers to
stimulate fleet sales in times of weak consumer demand for new automobiles. In
response to strong U.S. consumer demand for passenger vehicles in 1993 and 1994,
the major U.S. automobile manufacturers reduced the number of vehicles subject
to repurchase programs and the financial incentives associated with these
programs. U.S. consumer demand for passenger vehicles began to weaken during the
second quarter of 1995, and this weakness continued through 1996. In response to
these market conditions, there was an increase in the availability of repurchase
programs with respect to 1996 model year vehicles, particularly repurchase
programs for imported vehicles, and these programs have continued for 1997 model
year vehicles. However, Budget Group could be adversely affected if automobile
manufacturers reduce the availability of Program Vehicles or related incentives.
See "The Budget Acquisition -- Related Agreements -- Supply Agreement."

SEASONALITY
 
     The third quarter, during the peak summer travel months, has historically
been the strongest quarter of the year for both TEAM and BRACC. As a result, any
occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a
material adverse effect on Budget Group's annual performance. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of
TEAM -- Seasonality."
 
REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     TEAM and BRACC are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local
laws and regulations that affect the conduct of their operations, including
those relating to the sale of loss damage waivers, vicarious liability of
vehicle owners, consumer protection, advertising, used vehicle sales, the taxing
and licensing of vehicles, franchising operations and sales, and environmental
protection and clean-up. There can be no assurance that compliance with these
laws and regulations or the adoption of modified or additional laws and
regulations will not require material expenditures by Budget Group or otherwise
have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial
condition. See "Business of Budget Group -- Regulatory and Environmental
Matters."
 
DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL SUPPLIER
 
     For many years, Ford has been BRACC's principal supplier of vehicles. The
number of vehicles purchased from Ford varies from year to year. In model year
1996, approximately 79% of BRACC's U.S. vehicle purchases were comprised of Ford
vehicles. Under the terms of a supply agreement to be entered into concurrently
with the Budget Acquisition, BRACC and its affiliates (including TEAM) will
agree to purchase or lease Ford vehicles in such quantity that the percentage of
new Ford vehicles purchased or leased by Budget Group in the United States,
Canada, and other countries outside the European Union represents at least 70%
of the total new vehicle purchases by Budget Group, with a minimum quantity of
at least 80,000 vehicles in the United States in each model year. See "The
Budget Acquisition -- Related Agreements -- Supply Agreement." Given the volume
of vehicles purchased from Ford by BRACC, shifting significant portions of the
fleet purchases to other manufacturers would require lead time and certain
operational changes. As a result, if Ford were unable to supply Budget Group
with the planned number and types of vehicles, or if the quality and customer
satisfaction with respect to Ford vehicles declines significantly, it could have
a material adverse effect on Budget Group's financial condition and results of
operations.
 
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
 
     For 1996, on a pro forma basis, 8.9% of Budget Group's revenues were
derived from its international operations. Budget Group's international vehicle
rental operations will be subject to certain risks, including adverse
developments in the foreign political and economic environment, varying
governmental regulations, foreign currency fluctuations, potential difficulties
in staffing and managing foreign operations and potential adverse tax
consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have
a material adverse effect on Budget Group's results of operations or financial
condition.
 
DEPENDENCE ON PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
     Budget Group's existing operations and continued future development are
dependent in part on the active participation of Messrs. Miller, Kennedy and
Congdon. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have
a material adverse effect on Budget Group. Budget Group has no employment
agreements or covenants not to compete with any of its executive officers or
significant employees. See "Management."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     A substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock currently
outstanding, or issuable upon conversion of TEAM's outstanding convertible notes
or convertible preferred stock, or upon exercise of stock options and stock
purchase warrants, are or will become eligible for future sale in the public
market at prescribed times pursuant to registration rights of certain security
holders or applicable regulations. In connection with the Budget Acquisition,
the Company will issue to Ford the greater of (i) 4,500 shares of Series A
Convertible
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   18
 
Preferred Stock or (ii) the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock equal to the product of (x) 0.001 multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained
by dividing (A) $75,000,000 by (B) the average of the closing prices of the
Class A Common Stock for each of the ten consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the second trading day prior to the closing of the Budget Acquisition.
Unless the closing price of the Class A Common Stock averages $16.67 or less
over a period of ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the second
trading day prior to the closing of the Budget Acquisition, the Company will
issue to Ford 4,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and this
number of shares will not be subject to any adjustment. Among other agreements,
TEAM has granted Ford certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights for the
4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment) issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. See "The Budget
Acquisition -- Terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements -- Consideration." TEAM
has also agreed to file a shelf registration statement relating to the 3,986,049
shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
Series A Convertible Notes, and TEAM will enter into a similar agreement with
respect to the 1,609,442 shares of Class A Common Stock that will be issuable
upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Notes. TEAM's directors and
executive officers, who in the aggregate beneficially own 2,824,305 shares of
Common Stock, have agreed that for a period of 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus, and TEAM has agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus, they will not sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common
Stock without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation. See "Underwriting." Significant sales of the Class A Common Stock
in the public market following the Offering could adversely affect prevailing
market prices. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
VOTING CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
     TEAM has two classes of Common Stock: Class A Common Stock, which is
entitled to one vote per share, and Class B Common Stock, which is entitled to
ten votes per share. Messrs. Miller, Kennedy and Congdon own all of the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which, following the Offering,
together with the Class A Common Stock owned by such individuals, will represent
approximately 53.8% of the combined voting power of both classes of Common
Stock. As a result, following the Budget Acquisition and prior to the conversion
of the Convertible Subordinated Notes or the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock such officers will continue to be able to elect all of Budget Group's
Board of Directors, thereby ensuring that members elected by them will continue
to direct the business, policies and management of Budget Group. See "Principal
Stockholders."
 
POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CHARTER AND BYLAW PROVISIONS; POSSIBLE
ISSUANCES OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Certain provisions of Delaware law, TEAM's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (in particular, the voting rights of the Class B Common Stock)
and TEAM's Bylaws could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and
could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a
third party from attempting to acquire, control of Budget Group. Such provisions
could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of the Class A Common Stock. In addition, shares of preferred
stock may be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval on
such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and preferences,
as the Board of Directors may determine. The rights of the holders of the Class
A Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Budget
Group has no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock, other than
the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued to Ford in
connection with the Budget Acquisition. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Preferred Stock" and "Description of Capital Stock -- Section 203."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to TEAM from the Offering are estimated to be
approximately $153.3 million (approximately $176.4 million if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses.
 
     TEAM intends to use these net proceeds, together with the net proceeds of
the New Fleet Financings, to finance the Budget Acquisition. See "The Budget
Acquisition." The following table sets forth the estimated sources and uses of
consideration required to complete the Budget Acquisition (assuming consummation
of the Transactions on April 23, 1997):

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     Although TEAM is currently able to pay dividends, subject to limitations
under the terms of its indebtedness, TEAM has never declared or paid dividends
on its Common Stock, and it is the current policy of the Board of Directors of
TEAM to retain earnings for use in the business and not to pay any cash
dividends on the Common Stock. Any declaration and payment of cash dividends on
the Common Stock will be subject to the discretion of TEAM's Board of Directors
and will be dependent upon TEAM's financial condition, results of operations,
cash requirements and future prospects, the limitations under the terms of its
indebtedness and other factors deemed relevant by TEAM's Board of Directors.
There can be no assurance that any such dividends will be declared or paid.

          PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUDGET GROUP
 
               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Team Rental Group, Inc.:
 
     We have examined the pro forma adjustments reflecting the transactions
described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements and
the application of those adjustments to the historical amounts in the
accompanying pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Budget Group as of December
31, 1996, and the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year
then ended. The historical amounts reflect the historical consolidated balance
sheets and statements of operations of Team Rental Group, Inc. and subsidiaries,
which were audited by us, and of Budget Rent a Car Corporation and subsidiaries,
which were audited by other accountants, all of which are included in Team
Rental Group, Inc.'s Registration Statement File No. 333-21691 on Form S-1. Such
pro forma adjustments are based upon management's assumptions as described in
the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements. Our examination
was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included such procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
 
     The objective of this pro forma financial information is to show what the
significant effects on the historical financial information might have been had
the transactions described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial
statements occurred at an earlier date. However, the pro forma consolidated
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
or related effects on financial position that would have been attained had the
above-mentioned transactions actually occurred earlier.
 
     In our opinion, management's assumptions provide a reasonable basis for
presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the above-mentioned
transactions as described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial
statements, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those
assumptions, and the pro forma columns reflect the proper application of those
adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, and the pro forma
consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended.

INTRODUCTION
 
     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (the
"Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements") are based on the historical
financial statements of TEAM and BRACC as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996, adjusted to give effect to the transactions described below. The Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Operations gives effect to the following transactions
as if they had occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) certain transactions effected by
TEAM during 1996 that are more fully described below (the "1996 TEAM
Transactions") and (ii) the Budget Acquisition and certain related transactions
that are more fully described below (the "Budget Acquisition Transactions" and,
together with the 1996 TEAM Transactions, the "Transactions"). The Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the Budget Acquisition Transactions
as if they had occurred on December 31, 1996.
 
     The 1996 TEAM Transactions consist of the following: (i) TEAM's acquisition
of Van Pool, which was effective on February 1, 1996, TEAM's acquisition of the
Phoenix Budget franchise (the "Phoenix Acquisition"), which was effective on
March 1, 1996, and TEAM's acquisition of ValCar Rental Car Sales, Inc.
("ValCar"), which was effective on August 1, 1996 (the "ValCar Acquisition");
(ii) the sale of 3,821,007 shares of Class A Common Stock by TEAM in a public
offering in July 1996 (the "July 1996 Public Offering"); (iii) the partial
refinancing of TEAM's vehicle rental fleet in December 1996 through the $176.0
million aggregate principal amount Third Fleet Financing Facility; (iv) the
private placement of $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series A
Convertible Notes in December 1996; and (v) the repayment of certain of TEAM's
outstanding indebtedness from the proceeds of (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. The
Budget Acquisition Transactions consist of the following: (i) the Budget
Acquisition, including the repayment, purchase and forgiveness of certain
indebtedness and the necessary purchase accounting and elimination entries; (ii)
the Offering and the application of the net proceeds thereof; (iii) the Debt
Placements and the application of the net proceeds thereof; and (iv) the New
Fleet Financings and the application of the net proceeds thereof and the
repayment of certain of BRACC's outstanding indebtedness to Ford from the net
proceeds thereof. All acquisitions, including the Budget Acquisition, have been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent
what Budget Group's results of operations or financial condition would have been
had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated or to predict
Budget Group's results of operations or financial condition in the future. These
statements are qualified in their entirety by, and should be read in conjunction
with, the historical financial statements of TEAM and BRACC and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of TEAM" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of BRACC."
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using
the purchase method of accounting, whereby the total cost of the Budget
Acquisition will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the effective
date of the Budget Acquisition. Such allocations will be based on studies and
valuations which have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the allocations
reflected in the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are preliminary and
subject to revision. However, Budget Group does not expect material changes to
the allocation of the purchase price.
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements give effect only to the
adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes and do not reflect any other
benefits anticipated by management as a result of the Budget Acquisition
Transactions and the implementation of its business strategy or the possible
effects of the Supply Agreement and Advertising Agreement.

    Because the Series A Convertible Notes are unsecured indebtedness, the
    entire interest expense is included in non-vehicle interest expense, even
    though a portion of the proceeds have been used to fund the fleet. Based on
    the average fleet debt outstanding during the period that could have been
    funded by the Series A Convertible Notes, approximately $3,000 of the
    interest cost incurred is attributable to funding the fleet.

    restricted cash balances remaining in TEAM's restricted cash account after
    application of the proceeds received from the Third Fleet Financing
    Facility, the Series A Convertible Notes and the July 1996 Public Offering
    to TEAM's outstanding indebtedness. Under the terms of the Third Fleet
    Financing Facility, specified amounts of cash are required to be maintained
    in a restricted cash account, with such amounts earning interest at a rate
    of 4.5% per annum.

    includes the following: (i) 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock offered
    hereby and (ii) 4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into which Ford's
    Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. The grant of
    approximately 326,000 stock options in connection with the Budget
    Acquisition to fund the BRACC employee bonus pool to be created pursuant to
    the Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Special Bonus Program"), with an
    exercise price equal to the fair market value of TEAM's Class A Common Stock
    on the date of grant, will have no dilutive effect on the pro forma earnings
    per common and common equivalent share data for Budget Group.

   Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. Under the Stock Purchase
   Agreements, the underlying value of the shares of Class A Common Stock is
   determined based on the preceding ten-day average stock price as of the
   closing date (assumed to be March 21, 1997 for computational purposes).
   However, generally accepted accounting principles that address the
   determination of the market value of securities issued in a purchase business
   combination require that the value assigned to such securities be determined
   using the market price for a reasonable period before and after the date the
   terms of the acquisition are agreed to and publicly announced. Accordingly,
   the market value of the underlying 4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
   for the three-day period surrounding January 13, 1997 (the date the Budget
   Acquisition was publicly announced) was used to determine the value of
   $105,750 to be assigned to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The
   difference between the value assigned to the debt purchased and the value
   assigned to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be treated as an
   adjustment to goodwill.
 
(f)Reflects the forgiveness by Ford of $131,692 of indebtedness due from BRACC.
 
(g)Reflects an accrual of $500 for the estimated costs to register the shares of
   Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is
   convertible.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF TEAM
 
GENERAL
 
     Team Rental Group, Inc. is the largest Budget franchisee in the United
States and is one of the largest independent retailers of late model automobiles
in the United States. In 1994, TEAM embarked on a strategy to significantly
expand its Budget franchise base and to develop a branded retail car sales
operation within its Budget franchise territories. This strategy both leverages
management's experience and creates certain operating efficiencies between these
complementary businesses. Through its 152 vehicle rental locations, TEAM had pro
forma 1996 vehicle rental revenues of $234.1 million and, through its 11 retail
car sales facilities, TEAM had pro forma 1996 sales revenue of $155.4 million.
 
     TEAM's retail car sales business has represented an increasing portion of
TEAM's revenues since the opening of TEAM's first retail car sales facility in
November 1994. TEAM added six retail car sales facilities during 1995, with the
retail car sales business producing $42.6 million of revenue for 1995
(representing 28.5% of TEAM's total historical revenue for the year), and added
four facilities during 1996, with the retail car sales business producing $134.1
million of revenue for 1996 (representing 37.5% of TEAM's total historical
revenue for the year and 34.4% of TEAM's total pro forma revenue for the year).
TEAM's retail car sales business produced $1,254 of operating income in 1995
(representing 8.8% of TEAM's total operating income) and $1,857 of operating
income in 1996 (representing 5.3% of TEAM's total operating income). At December
31, 1995 and 1996, the retail car sales business represented 7.8% and 8.3% of
TEAM's total identifiable assets, respectively. See Note 15 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements of TEAM.
 
     The 1994 results of operations reported herein include the consolidated
accounts of the San Diego, California, Richmond, Virginia and Albany and
Rochester, New York Budget franchises and the acquired operations of the
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Ohio and Fort Wayne,
Indiana Budget franchises from their respective acquisition dates through
December 31, 1994. The 1995 results of operations reported herein include the
consolidated operations of the entities comprising TEAM at December 31, 1994 and
the acquired operations of the Dayton, Ohio, Charlotte, North Carolina,
Hartford, Connecticut, and Los Angeles, California Budget franchises from their
respective acquisition dates through December 31, 1995. The 1996 results of
operations reported herein include the acquired operations of the Phoenix Budget
franchise, Van Pool and ValCar from their respective acquisition dates through
December 31, 1996.
 
     On January 13, 1997, TEAM entered into the Stock Purchase Agreements,
pursuant to which TEAM agreed to acquire the stock of BRACC. The consideration
to be paid by TEAM pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements consists of (i)
approximately $275.0 million in cash and (ii) the issuance to Ford of 4,500
shares of TEAM's newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (subject to
adjustment), which does not carry a dividend and which will be convertible into
4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

</TABLE>
 
  Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995.
 
     General Operating Results.  Net income for 1996 increased $4.2 million, or
1,234.4%, to $4.5 million from $337,000 for 1995. Income before provision for
income taxes increased over seven times from $1.0 million in 1995 to $7.8
million for 1996. This increase was due to TEAM's acquisition activity and the
growth of TEAM's car sales operations from seven locations at December 31, 1995
to 11 locations at December 31, 1996. Operating income for 1996 increased $21.1
million, or 148.7%, from $14.2 million for 1995 to $35.3 million for 1996, due
primarily to an increase in the vehicle fleet resulting from the acquisitions of
the Budget franchises in Arizona and Southern California and Van Pool. The daily
average rental rate increased slightly to $41.19 in 1996 from $40.75 in 1995.
 
     Operating Revenues.  Vehicle rental revenues for 1996 increased $116.2
million from $107.1 million in 1995 to $223.3 million in 1996. The increase in
rental revenues was due primarily to the increase in the size of TEAM from
operating 133 rental locations in 12 franchise areas at December 31, 1995 to
operating 152 locations in 13 franchise territories at December 31, 1996, and to
the acquisition of Van Pool in February 1996. Revenues from TEAM's retail car
sales operations increased $91.5 million from $42.7 million in 1995 to $134.1
million in 1996 due to the expansion of TEAM's car sales facilities from seven
locations at December 31, 1995 to 11 locations at December 31, 1996.
 
     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased approximately $186.6
million, or 137.6%, to $322.1 million for 1996 as compared to $135.5 million for
1995. The growth of TEAM's vehicle rental operations through the acquisitions
discussed above was the principal cause of all the increases in TEAM's operating
expenses. Vehicle depreciation increased approximately $33.3 million, or 121.0%,
in 1996 due to an increase in fleet of 7,800 vehicles. Advertising expenses
increased from $11.8 million in 1995 to $23.0 million for 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 December 31, 1995 to 11 markets
at December 31, 1996. The retail car sales business typically incurs greater
advertising expense than the car rental business. Facilities' expense increased
$9.3 million, or 83.5%, in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the addition of 19
locations since December 31, 1995. Personnel costs increased approximately
116.6% in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to an increase of approximately 800

employees since December 31, 1995. Other operating expense increased due to a
greater volume of rental business resulting from the 1995 and 1996 acquisitions.
 
     Other (Income) Expense, Net.  Interest expense, net of interest income,
increased from $13.2 million for 1995 to $27.4 million for 1996. Vehicle
interest expense increased approximately $11.5 million in 1996 due to the
increase in the size of TEAM's rental fleet from approximately 7,800 vehicles at
December 31, 1995 to approximately 15,600 vehicles at December 31, 1996.
Non-vehicle interest (income) expense changed from income of $716,000 in 1995 to
$838,000 of expense in 1996. This increase was primarily due to non-vehicle
interest paid on financing for the acquisition of the Phoenix Budget franchise.
 
     Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes increased $2.6
million from $685,000 for 1995 to $3.3 million for 1996. The tax provision is
calculated at a rate of approximately 42.5%. The increase in provision is due to
the enhanced profitability of TEAM in 1996 as compared to 1995.
 
  Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1994.
 
     General Operating Results.  Net income for 1995 increased $87,000, or
34.8%, to $337,000 from $250,000 in 1994. Income before income taxes more than
doubled to $1.0 million in 1995 from $426,000 in 1994. The increase in pre-tax
income was due to an increase in operating income of $10.0 million resulting
from the growth of TEAM's retail car sales operations from one facility at
December 31, 1994 to seven facilities at December 31, 1995 and the acquisition
of four additional Budget vehicle rental operations, which was offset by
increases in interest expense of $9.4 million, due primarily to the increased
size of the fleet throughout 1995 as a result of the acquisitions occurring
between August 1994 and October 1995, described above. The provision for income
taxes increased from $176,000 in 1994 to $685,000 in 1995 due to the enhanced
profitability of TEAM, nondeductible amortization expense, and state income
taxes. The daily average rental rate increased to $40.75 in 1995 from $37.32 in
1994, an increase of 9.2%, due to rental rate increases.
 
     Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues increased 287.8% in 1995 to $149.7
million from $38.6 million in 1994. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions discussed above and to an increased volume of vehicle rental
business in 1995, resulting in an increase in the number of rental revenue days
to 2,590,000 days in 1995 from 1,027,000 days in 1994. The daily average rental
rate increased 9% from $37.32 in 1994 to $40.75 in 1995; the average rental term
experienced a slight decrease from 3.82 days in 1994 to 3.76 days in 1995.
 
     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased approximately $101.1
million, or 293.5%, to $135.5 million for 1995 from $34.4 million in 1994. This
increase was due in large measure to the growth of TEAM's retail car sales
operations, which included $38.0 million of cost of sales for which there was no
significant comparable expense in 1994, as well as to increases resulting from
the increase in fleet and personnel due to the four acquisitions occurring
during 1995. Direct vehicle and operating expense increased $4.3 million or
45.2% to $13.7 million from $9.4 million, due to the increase in the size of the
fleet from 5,044 vehicles at December 31, 1994 to 11,144 vehicles at December
31, 1995. The increased costs for vehicle maintenance recorded to direct vehicle
and operating expenses were partially offset by a decrease in the number of
leased vehicles during the period, as expenses for owned vehicles are charged to
both vehicle depreciation and interest expense, whereas leased vehicles are
charged to direct vehicle and operating expense. Vehicle depreciation expense
increased $20.1 million, or 272.2%, to $27.5 million due to an increase in fleet
size of 121% to 11,144 vehicles at December 31, 1995. Personnel expenses
increased 208.5% to $24.5 million due to the 226% increase in the employee base
from 525 employees at December 31, 1994 to 1,709 employees at December 31, 1995.
The number of locations from which TEAM rented vehicles increased from 63
locations at December 31, 1994 to 133 locations at December 31, 1995.
 
     Other Income and Expense.  Other expense-net increased approximately $9.4
million, or 249.0%, in 1995 due primarily to interest expense on the increased
vehicle fleet operated by TEAM in 1995. Vehicle interest increased $10.0 million
due to the increased size of the vehicle fleet throughout 1995. This increase
was offset by an increase in interest income of $0.7 million earned on cash
restricted for acquiring vehicles under TEAM's existing fleet financing
facilities.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes increased
289.2% to $685,000 in 1995 from $176,000 in 1994. TEAM's effective tax rate
increased from 41.3% in 1994 to 67.0% in 1995. The increase in the tax provision
was due to the enhanced profitability of TEAM in 1995, certain amortization
expense that was not deductible for income taxes purposes, and state income
taxes.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Historic for TEAM
 
     Historically, TEAM's operations have been funded by cash provided from
operating activities and by financing provided under asset-backed notes issued
under the First, Second and Third Fleet Financing Facilities (collectively, the
"Fleet Financing Facilities") and by banks, automobile manufacturers' captive
finance companies and leasing companies. TEAM intends to continue to fund its
operations through these sources and other similar sources.
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities for 1996 increased 237.9% to
$54.4 million from $16.1 million in 1995. Net cash provided by operating
activities for 1995 increased 341.2% to $16.1 million from $3.7 million in 1994.
In each period, TEAM experienced increases in cash received from rentals which
were offset to some extent by increases in cash paid to vendors and employees
and in interest expenses.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to cash
paid to suppliers of revenue vehicles and, to a lesser extent, capital
expenditures. This cash use is mainly offset by cash received from the sale of
vehicles (most of which sales were pursuant to manufacturers' vehicle repurchase
programs). Cash received from the sale of vehicles was $460.6 million, $293.9
million and $73.7 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cash paid to
suppliers of revenue vehicles was $517.1 million, $315.9 million and $155.2
million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in cash paid to
suppliers of revenue vehicles during 1996 was a result of the increased number
of operating locations throughout 1996. Payment for acquisitions, net of assets
acquired, amounted to $5.1 million, $6.5 million and $5.7 million for 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
 
     Net cash provided by financing activities for 1996 increased 98.0% to $58.6
million from $29.6 million in 1995, due primarily to proceeds received from the
issuance of Common Stock and convertible subordinated debentures, which was
partially offset by the utilization of a portion of these proceeds to repay
existing vehicle and non-vehicle debt. Net cash provided by financing activities
for 1995 decreased 75.1% to $29.6 million from $119.0 million in 1994, due
primarily to the receipt of proceeds from a public offering and a vehicle
financing facility in 1994 for which there were no corresponding receipts in
1995.
 
     Fleet Financing Facilities.  At December 31, 1996, amounts outstanding
under the Fleet Financing Facilities were comprised of $105.7 million of
asset-backed notes issued by TEAM's special purpose finance subsidiary, Team
Fleet Financing Corporation ("TFFC"), in August 1994 (the "First Fleet Financing
Facility"), $40.0 million of asset-backed notes assumed by TEAM in connection
with the acquisition of the Los Angeles, California Budget franchise in October
1995 (the "Second Fleet Financing Facility") and $176.0 million of asset-backed
notes issued by TFFC in December 1996 (the "Third Fleet Financing Facility").
These facilities have been utilized to finance Program Vehicles. Proceeds from
these facilities that are temporarily unutilized for vehicle financing are
maintained in restricted cash accounts with the trustee and are not available
for other purposes. The notes issued under these facilities are collateralized
by the financed vehicles and the restricted cash accounts, with the vehicles
being leased to TEAM's operating subsidiaries.
 
     The First Fleet Financing Facility is comprised of senior and subordinated
notes. The senior notes require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of
average LIBOR, as defined, plus 0.75% (6.4% at December 31, 1996). Monthly
principal payments of $16,667,000 commence in June 1999 with the last payment
due in November 1999. The subordinated notes included in the First Fleet
Financing Facility require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of
average LIBOR, as defined, plus 1.30% (6.9% at December 31, 1996) and are
payable in full in December 1999.
 
     The Second Fleet Financing Facility is comprised of senior and subordinated
notes. The senior notes require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of
average LIBOR, as defined, plus 0.60% (6.2% at December 31, 1996). Monthly
principal payments of $4,812,000 commence in November 1997 with the last payment
due in
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   38
 
June 1998. The subordinated notes included in the Second Fleet Financing
Facility require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of average LIBOR,
as defined, plus 1.0% (6.6% at December 31, 1996) and are payable in full in
July 1998.
 
     The Third Fleet Financing Facility is comprised of senior and subordinated
notes. The senior notes require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of
6.65%. Monthly principal payments of $13,833,334 commence in 2001 with the last
payment due in 2002. The subordinated notes included in the Third Fleet
Financing Facility require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of 7.10%
and are payable in full in June 2002. Up to $100 million of the Third Fleet
Financing may be used to finance vehicles that are not Program Vehicles.
 
     Convertible Subordinated Notes.  In December 1996, TEAM issued $80.0
million aggregate principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes. At a
conversion price of $20.07, the Series A Convertible Notes are convertible into
3,986,049 shares of Class A Common Stock. For a description of the Series B
Convertible Notes to be issued in connection with the Budget Acquisition, see
"Description of Certain Indebtedness -- Convertible Subordinated Notes." In
connection with the issuance of the Series B Convertible Notes, the maturity of
the Series A Convertible Notes will be extended to April 2007.
 
     Vehicle Obligations.  Vehicle obligations consist of outstanding lines of
credit to purchase rental vehicles and retail car sales inventory.
Collateralized lines of credit at December 31, 1996 consisted of $203 million
for rental vehicles and $26 million for retail car sales inventory with maturity
dates ranging from April 1997 to May 1998. 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.
 
     Vehicle obligations relating to the rental fleet are generally amortized
over 5 to 15 months with monthly principal payments ranging from 2% to 3% of the
capitalized vehicle cost. When rental vehicles are sold, the related unpaid
obligation is due. Interest payments for rental fleet facilities are due monthly
at annual interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.75% at December 31, 1996.
Management expects vehicle obligations will generally be repaid within one year
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.
 
     In November 1996, Team Fleet Services Corporation ("TFSC") and VPSI, wholly
owned subsidiaries of TEAM, entered into Revolving Credit Agreements with
NationsBank, National Association (South), as Agent (the "Agent") for the
lenders party thereto, providing for up to $100.0 million and $50.0 million,
respectively, of financing for the acquisition of vehicles (the "Revolving
Credit Facilities"). The interest rates of loans under the Revolving Credit
Facilities are, at the option of TFSC and VPSI and up to certain amounts, based
on the Agent's prime rate, LIBOR or CD rates.
 
     Monthly payments of interest only on obligations relating to retail car
sales inventory are required at the prime rate plus .25% (8.5% at December 31,
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.
 
     Working Capital Facilities.  At December 31, 1996, TEAM had an unutilized
working capital facility of $10.0 million, which requires monthly interest
payments on the outstanding balance at LIBOR plus 2.50% (8.125% at December 31,
1996). This facility, which expires in April 1997, is collateralized by accounts
receivable, vehicle inventory, equipment, certain intangibles, investments and
all other personal property of TEAM and guarantees of certain TEAM subsidiaries.
 
     The working capital facility contains a number of customary affirmative
covenants, including covenants which require TEAM to deliver financial
statements and other reports; maintain properties; maintain its corporate
existence; comply with regulations and taxes; maintain insurance; maintain its
books and records; pay obligations; grant the lenders certain inspection rights;
observe law; provide notices of defaults, litigation and material events; and
comply with environmental matters. The working capital facility also contains a
number of customary negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness
(including preferred stock), transfer of assets, acquisitions, liens,
investments, merger or consolidation, restricted payments, sales and leasebacks,
change in control and transactions with affiliates; ERISA matters; fiscal year;
dissolution; and rate hedging obligations.

     New Budget Group Fleet Financings
 
     In addition to TEAM's existing fleet financing facilities and BRACC's fleet
financing facilities to be assumed by Budget Group upon consummation of the
Budget Acquisition, it is anticipated that the New Fleet Financings will provide
financing for $1.4 billion of vehicles. The New Fleet Financings will consist of
an $900.0 million commercial paper facility and an additional $500.0 million
financing facility that will be an asset-backed note facility. The asset-backed
note facility will be comprised of senior and subordinated notes. The senior
notes will require monthly interest payments at an annual rate of 7.35%. Monthly
principal payments of $39,375,000 commence November 2001 with a final payment

     New Working Capital Facility
 
     BRACC will enter into a $300.0 million five-year secured credit facility,
which will be guaranteed by Budget Group. The following is a summary of the
material terms and conditions of the New Working Capital Facility.
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will consist of a five-year senior,
secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $300 million. The New Working
Capital Facility will provide that (i) up to $100 million will be available for
loans, (ii) up to $40 million (or the equivalent thereof in certain foreign
currencies) of such $100 million will be available under a multi-currency
subfacility, (iii) up to $300 million will be available for letters of credit
and (iv) up to $225 million of such $300 million will be available for letters
of credit for credit enhancement of commercial paper or similar fleet financing
programs. In addition, aggregate letter of credit and loan outstandings under
the New Working Capital Facility will be subject to a borrowing base limitation
and may not at any time exceed the sum of 85% of eligible receivables (as
defined therein), 100% of eligible repurchase vehicles (as defined therein), 85%
of eligible non-repurchase vehicles (as defined therein), and 100% of eligible
cash and cash equivalents (as defined therein). All letters of credit and loans
under the New Working Capital Facility will mature on or by the fifth
anniversary of the date of the loan agreement.
 
     Interest will accrue on borrowings outstanding under the New Working
Capital Facility, at Budget Group's option, at a rate equal to (i) either the
higher of (A) the interest rate established by Credit Suisse as its base or
prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City and (B) the
federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5% (the higher of these
being known as the "ABR") plus the applicable margin for ABR loans (which margin
shall range from approximately 0.25% to 1.25%) or (ii) the rate at which
Eurocurrency deposits in the relevant denomination currency for one, two, three
or six months (as selected by Budget Group) are offered by Credit Suisse in the
relevant interbank Eurocurrency market plus the applicable margin for the
Eurocurrency rate (which margin shall range from 1.25% to 2.25%). The New
Working Capital Facility will require Budget Group to pay the following fees:
(i) a commitment fee based on the ratio of adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA of
Budget Group and ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum; (ii) a letter of credit
fee on the aggregate amount available under outstanding letters of credit equal
to a rate per annum which is the same as the applicable margin for Eurocurrency
loans from time to time in effect; and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee
equal to a rate per annum of 1/8% of the aggregate amount available under each
letter of credit issued.
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will be secured by (a) a first-priority
lien on (i) the capital stock of BRACC and each direct and indirect subsidiary
of BRACC (with respect to the international subsidiaries, no more than 65% of
the stock of each subsidiary will be required to be pledged in the event that a
pledge of a greater percentage would result in material increased tax or similar
liabilities for Budget Group and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis); (ii)
cash and other working capital such as receivables and related contract rights
of BRACC and its subsidiaries (other than assets pledged as security in respect
of a vehicle financing program); and (iii) all assets included in the borrowing
base and (b) as to letters of credit issued as credit and/or liquidity
enhancement for Budget Group's commercial paper program, perfected liens on the
assets surrounding the commercial paper issued pursuant to the commercial paper
program (which, in the case of credit enhancement, will generally be
subordinated).
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will contain a number of customary
affirmative covenants, including covenants which require BRACC and Budget Group
to deliver financial statements and other reports; pay other obligations;
maintain corporate existence; comply with laws and contracts; maintain
properties and insurance; maintain books and records; grant the lenders certain
inspection rights; provide notices of defaults, litigation and material events;
and comply with environmental matters. The New Working Capital Facility will
also contain a number of customary negative covenants, including limitations on
indebtedness (including preferred stock), liens, guarantee obligations, mergers,
consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases,
dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, capital expenditures,
investments, loans and advances; payments and modifications of subordinated and
other debt instruments, transactions with affiliates, changes in fiscal year;
negative pledge clauses; and changes in lines of business.
 
     BRACC and Budget Group will be required to meet certain financial
covenants, consisting of (a) a minimum net worth (as defined) of Budget Group
equal to the sum of (i) $263,375 plus 50% of the net income of Budget
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   41
 
Group for each fiscal year commencing with 1997 as shall have been completed on
or prior to the time of computation plus 50% of the net equity proceeds (as
defined); (b) a maximum leverage ratio (as defined) of 5.60 to 1.00 for the
quarter ending September 30, 1997, declining to 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter
ending December 31, 1999 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (c) a minimum
interest coverage ratio (as defined) of 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending
September 30, 1997, increasing to 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September
30, 1999 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. See "Description of Certain
Indebtedness -- The New Working Capital Facility."
 
INFLATION
 
     The increased acquisition cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary
factor affecting TEAM's operations. Many of TEAM's other operating expenses are
inflation sensitive, with increases in inflation generally resulting in
increased costs of operations. The effect of inflation-driven cost increases on
TEAM's overall operating costs is not expected to be greater for TEAM than for
its competitors.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     Generally, in the vehicle rental industry, revenues increase in the spring
and summer months (with the exception of resort destinations) due to the overall
increase in business and leisure travel during this season. TEAM increases the
size of its fleet and work force in the spring and summer to accommodate
increased rental activity during these periods and decreases its fleet and work
force in the fall and winter. However, many of TEAM's operating expenses (such
as rent, insurance and administrative personnel) are fixed and cannot be reduced
during the fall and winter. The retail car sales business is subject to seasonal
effects, with lower sales during the winter months. See "Risk
Factors -- Seasonality."

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF BRACC
 
GENERAL
 
     Budget Rent a Car Corporation is the owner of the "Budget" trademark on a
worldwide basis and is the international franchisor of the Budget System, which
is the third largest worldwide general use car and truck rental system with
approximately 3,000 locations.
 
     BRACC was established in 1958 as a vehicle rental company serving the
downtown and suburban markets of cities in the United States and Canada. In
1960, BRACC began its franchising activities and positioned itself as the value
leader among the competing car rental companies. BRACC remained primarily a
franchise system until the 1980s when it undertook a strategic shift to acquire
franchisees with a view to becoming an operating company. Management believes
that company-owned locations provide enhanced customer service and earnings on a
long-term basis. Additionally, BRACC believes that its identification as a lower
cost provider of rental vehicles may protect its competitive position in the
event of negative economic developments.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1996, BRACC had 304 company-owned locations
which accounted for more than 60% of the Budget System's U.S. fleet.
Additionally, BRACC has expanded its operating strategy to international markets
and has company-owned locations in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland,
Australia and New Zealand which account for more than 8% of the Budget System's
international rental revenue.
 
     BRACC's international operations have historically been largely franchised.
For 1994, 1995 and 1996 royalty fees from international franchisees were 21.2%,
21.9% and 22.6% of BRACC's total international revenue and represented 45.9%,
49.0% and 50.4% of BRACC's total royalty fees, respectively. During 1994, 1995
and 1996, total operating expenses have remained stable at 88.8%, 87.4% and
87.8% of BRACC's total international revenue, respectively. As a result, BRACC
had consistent, positive earnings from its international operations of $8.3
million, $9.6 million and $11.4 million for 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
The franchised nature of BRACC's operations also lowers its funding and overall
capital requirements. At December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, BRACC's international
operations accounted for 6.2%, 6.8% and 8.0% of BRACC's total assets,
respectively, while the percent of BRACC's total debt represented by these
operations was 3.1%, 3.1% and 3.9%, respectively. See Note 16 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements of BRACC.

  Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995
 
     General Operating Results.  BRACC had a net loss of $2.5 million for 1996
compared to a net loss of $132.6 million for 1995. Income before income taxes
increased to $469,000 for 1996 from a loss of $131.3 million for 1995. This
improvement reflects the changes BRACC implemented during 1996 by placing a
greater focus on cost reductions, location and segment profitability, customer
service and operational consistency.
 
     Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues decreased $60.7 million, or 5.1%,
to $1,132.8 million for 1996 from $1,193.4 million for 1995. Vehicle rental
revenues decreased $71.1 million, or 6.9%, to $963.8 million for 1996 from
$1,034.9 million for 1995, primarily due to a change in fleet mix, which reduced
the number of higher priced luxury and specialty vehicles, and the elimination
of unprofitable segments of the business, including selected low margin
government and tour businesses. The daily average rental rate increased to
$41.26 in 1996 from $39.58 in 1995, an increase of 4.2%, partly reflective of
the reduction in low margin business and an upward movement in the daily rental
prices. Royalty fees increased $2.5 million, or 4.3%, to $60.4 million in 1996
from $57.9 million in 1995 due to growth in international markets. Retail car
sales revenue increased $7.7 million, or 9.2%, to $91.5 million for 1996 from
$83.8 million for 1995 largely due to a 9.4% increase in the number of units
sold.
 
     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses decreased $166.7 million, or 14.2%,
to $1,008.2 million for 1996 from $1,174.9 million for 1995. Vehicle
depreciation expense decreased $59.8 million, or 18.5%, to $263.8 million for
1996 from $323.6 million for 1995, as a result of more closely aligning fleet
mix with customer demand, a lower depreciation rate on purchased risk vehicles
for depreciated values to reflect the fair market wholesale values for vehicles
to be sold (due to a strong used car and truck wholesale environment), and a
13.7% reduction in average fleet size resulting from an 11.6% reduction in
rental volume. The smaller fleet size reduced vehicle depreciation by
approximately $44.2 million while the risk vehicle depreciation change, the
change in fleet mix and all other changes provided the remaining $15.6 million
decrease from 1995. Direct vehicle and operating expenses decreased $31.8
million, or 20.8%, to $121.3 million in 1996 from $153.1 million in 1995,
largely due to the reduction in average fleet size. The change in fleet mix,
which reduced the number of higher priced luxury and specialty vehicles, and
continued improvement in risk management expenses, reflecting ongoing efforts to
minimize the exposure to higher risk renters, together contributed to an $11.7
million reduction in vehicle damage expenses and a $14.2 million reduction in
vehicle insurance expenses. Non-vehicle depreciation expense increased $7.1
million, or 36.5% to $26.6 million for 1996 from $19.5 million for 1995, largely
due to amortization of a new reservation system installed in the fourth quarter
of 1995. Cost of vehicles sold at retail increased $6.5 million, or 9.0% to
$78.9 million for 1996 from $72.4 million for 1995 largely due to the higher
number of units sold. Advertising, promotion and selling expenses decreased
$23.1 million, or 21.7%, to $83.3 million in 1996 from $106.4 million in 1995,
primarily due to the improvement in marketing focus to fewer programs with
stronger impact resulting in a $7.4 million decrease in advertising spending and
$14.9 million in lower selling costs associated with lower revenues. Facilities
expenses remained relatively constant for 1996 and 1995. Personnel expenses
decreased $32.2 million, or 11.5%, to $248.7 million in 1996 from $280.9 million
in 1995, $12.6 million of which was due to a substantial salary reduction
resulting from a decrease in the U.S. salaried workforce initiated in late 1995,
$9.3 million of which was due to a 1995 charge against earnings for the
reduction of U.S. salaried workforce and centralization of accounting functions,
and approximately $8.3 million of which was due to a reduction in rental volume
and corresponding variable labor costs. General and administrative expenses
decreased $34.4 million, or 38.8%, to $54.2 million in 1996 from $88.6 million
in 1995, due to the reduction in salaried headcount, a continued emphasis on
controlling discretionary expenses and the impact of centralization charges
recorded in 1995. Specifically, travel related expenses decreased $5.8 million,
outside professional services decreased $3.5 million, bad debt expense decreased
$5.6 million, and the year to year impact of centralization charges decreased by
$7.5 million. Intangible amortization expense remained relatively constant for
1996 and 1995.
 
     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $25.7 million, or 17.2%, to
$124.2 million for 1996 from $149.9 million in 1995. A reduction in the average
borrowing rate resulted in a $7.6 million decrease while all other changes,
largely lower borrowing levels, reflective of the reduction in average fleet
size and mix changes, resulted in a reduction of $18.1 million.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes increased to
$3.0 million for 1996 from $1.3 million in 1995 due to higher foreign income
taxes, primarily in the United Kingdom.
 
  Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994
 
     General Operating Results.  BRACC had a net loss of $132.6 million for 1995
compared to net income of $1.1 million for 1994. Loss before income taxes was
$131.3 million for 1995 compared to income before income taxes of $5.1 million
for 1994. These losses were due to substantially higher operating costs and
greater interest expense which were not fully offset through higher revenue.
 
     Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues increased by $37.7 million, or
3.3%, to $1,193.5 million in 1995 from $1,155.8 million in 1994. Vehicle rental
revenues increased $23.7 million, or 2.3% to $1,034.9 million in 1995 from
$1,011.2 million in 1994. This increase was due to a 3.0% increase in the daily
average rental rate, partially offset by a 1.1% reduction in vehicle rental
days. Retail car sales revenue increased $5.8 million, or 7.4%, to $83.8 million
for 1995 from $78.0 million for 1994, primarily due to a change to higher priced
units in the mix of vehicles sold. Royalty fees increased $4.7 million, or 8.9%,
to $57.9 million in 1995 from $53.2 million in 1994, primarily due to growth in
international markets. Other revenues increased $3.5 million, or 26.3%, to $16.9
million in 1995 from $13.4 million in 1994 largely due to improvements in credit
card processing income. The daily average rental rate increased to $39.58 in
1995 from $38.43 in 1994, an increase of 3.0%.
 
     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased $129.2 million, or 12.4%
to $1,174.9 million in 1995 from $1,045.7 million in 1994. Vehicle depreciation
expense increased $66.3 million, or 25.8%, to $323.6 million in 1995 from $257.3
million in 1994, due to higher manufacturer depreciation rates for Program
Vehicles, a change in fleet mix to include more specialty vehicles and a 1.8%
increase in average fleet size. The higher manufacturer program rates resulted
in increased depreciation expense of approximately $59.9 million and the
remaining $6.4 million increase was primarily due to larger fleet size. Direct
vehicle and operating expenses increased $19.0 million, or 14.1%, to $153.1
million in 1995 from $134.1 million in 1994, primarily due to higher
salvage/wreck and theft expense, the change in fleet mix to include more luxury
and specialty vehicles and a higher average fleet size. Non-vehicle depreciation
expense decreased $1.9 million, or 8.8%, to $19.5 million in 1995 from $21.4
million in 1994. Cost of vehicles sold at retail increased $5.1 million, or
7.6%, to $72.4 million in 1995 from $67.3 million in 1994 reflecting a more
costly mix of vehicles. Advertising, promotion and selling expenses increased
$6.7 million, or 6.7%, to $106.4 million in 1995 from $99.7 million in 1994,
primarily due to $2.2 million of higher selling costs associated with higher
revenues, $3.5 million of marketing costs for credential reissuance in
conjunction with the new corporate logo and the remainder due to other net
marketing expenditures, largely frequent flyer programs. Facilities expenses
increased $2.9 million, or 2.6%, to $113.3 million in 1995 from $110.4 million
in 1994, due to minor increases in several areas, such as $2.5 million in lease
expense for rental and administrative facilities and $.5 million for repairs and
maintenance. Personnel expenses increased $11.5 million, or 4.3%, to $280.9
million in 1995 from $269.4 million in 1994, largely due to a $9.3 million one-
time charge taken in 1995 in conjunction with the reduction in the U.S. salaried
workforce and the centralization of accounting functions. General and
administrative expenses increased $19.5 million, or 28.2%, to $88.6 million in
1995 from $69.1 million in 1994, due to a $5.3 million one-time restructuring
charge related to a reduction in BRACC's workforce in 1995 and centralization of
accounting functions, $3.0 million due to the non-recurrence of a legal
settlement in 1994 related to a contract dispute regarding the failed attempt to
design and build a multi-user reservation processing system, and increases in
other general expenses, including travel related costs of $2.0 million and bad
debt of $1.4 million. Intangible amortization expenses remained relatively
constant for 1995 and 1994.
 
     Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $44.9 million, or 42.8%, to
$149.9 million for 1995 from $105.0 million in 1994. An increase in the average
borrowing rate resulted in a $30.8 million increase while the remaining increase
of $14.1 million was largely due to higher borrowing levels reflective of the
increase in average fleet size and mix changes.
 
     Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased to
$1.3 million for 1995 from $4.0 million in 1994 primarily due to lower deferred
federal and foreign income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF BRACC
 
     Historically, BRACC'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. BRACC's existing
indebtedness at December 31, 1996 was $1,830.4 million and had interest rates
ranging from 4.06% to 12.00%. Below is a general description of the debt
facilities which BRACC currently utilizes.
 
  Vehicle Asset Backed Facilities
 
     Medium Term Notes.  The medium term notes include notes issued by Budget
Fleet Finance Corporation ("BFFC") in June 1994. BFFC is a special purpose
bankruptcy remote corporation. The BFFC notes are comprised of medium term notes
requiring monthly interest payments at a floating rate of LIBOR, as defined,
plus 0.50%. The BFFC notes total $500 million and have a maturity of five years
from the inception of the facility. Monthly principal payments of $83.3 million
commence in April 1999 with the last payment due in September 1999.
 
     Commercial Paper.  The commercial paper program, which was established in
July 1993, is an $845 million program with a 90-day maximum maturity on all
commercial paper issued. The commercial paper is sold through Budget Funding
Corporation ("BFC"), which is a special purpose bankruptcy remote corporation.
Interest is payable monthly at the market rate when the commercial paper is
issued. The average interest rate for 1996 was 5.43%.
 
  Other Vehicle Debt
 
     Ford Vehicle Facility.  This facility was established with Ford Motor
Credit Company ("FMCC") to finance program and risk vehicles and light and
medium duty trucks which are all manufactured by Ford. There is $500 million
available under this facility and interest is paid monthly at the one-month
commercial paper rate plus 2.00%. The collateral for this facility is all
vehicles financed plus all revenue streams and proceeds from sales.
 
     Non-Ford Vehicle Facility.  This facility was established with FMCC to
finance program and risk vehicles and light and medium duty trucks which are not
manufactured by Ford. There is $500 million available under this facility and
interest is paid quarterly at the one-month commercial paper rate plus 2.25%.
The collateral for this facility is all vehicles financed plus all revenue
streams and proceeds from sales.
 
     The amount outstanding under these facilities cannot exceed $800 million.
 
  Other Debt
 
     Working Capital Facility.  The working capital facility of $525 million is
funded by FMCC. This facility is primarily used to provide cash for daily
operating activities. Interest is paid quarterly to FMCC based upon a monthly
commercial paper interest rate plus 2.50%.
 
     Other Notes Payable.  Other notes payable consist primarily of the WizCom
note, which had a balance of $35.9 million and an interest rate of 6.20% at
December 31, 1996. The entire note will be paid in full by December 1998.
 
     In addition, BRACC's international operations have debt facilities with
certain financial institutions and vehicle manufacturers. The majority of these
debt facilities are fleet related where the vehicles are used as collateral. As
of December 31, 1996, fleet obligations were $67.7 million.

                            BUSINESS OF BUDGET GROUP
 
GENERAL
 
     Budget Group and its franchisees operate the third largest worldwide
general use car and truck rental system, with approximately 3,200 locations and
a peak fleet size during 1996 of 266,000 cars and 18,000 trucks. The Budget
System includes locations in both the airport and local (downtown and suburban)
markets in all major metropolitan areas in the United States, in many other
small and mid-size U.S. markets and in more than 110 countries worldwide. Pro
forma for the Budget Acquisition, the Budget System included approximately 455
company-owned locations in the United States at December 31, 1996, accounting
for approximately 76% of 1996 U.S. system-wide revenues. In addition, Budget
franchisees operated approximately 500 royalty-paying franchise locations in the
United States at December 31, 1996. Budget is one of only three vehicle rental
systems that offer rental vehicles throughout the world under a single brand
name, with locations in Europe, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East,
Asia/Pacific and Africa. The Budget System currently maintains more local market
rental locations throughout the world than its major competitors. The Budget
System is also unique among major car rental systems in that it rents trucks in
most major markets worldwide. The Budget System's consumer truck rental fleet is
the fourth largest in the United States.
 
     Budget Group is also one of the largest independent retailers of late model
vehicles in the United States, operating 22 retail car sales facilities with pro
forma revenues of $246.9 million for 1996. Upon consummation of the Budget
Acquisition, Budget Group will continue to operate its retail car sales
facilities under the name "Budget Car Sales."
 
BACKGROUND
 
     BRACC.  In 1960, BRACC began franchising car and truck rental operations
serving the downtown and suburban areas of cities in the United States and
Canada. Budget established its first major airport location in 1967, but
maintained a marketing strategy of offering good value to price-sensitive
personal renters. Historically, BRACC has operated the broadest distribution
system in the industry, with more full-service local market locations in the
United States and worldwide than its major competitors and the largest
integrated system offering both cars and trucks in most markets worldwide.
During the 1980's, BRACC undertook a strategic shift from being structured as a
franchising company to functioning as an operating company.
 
     For the year ended December 31, 1996, BRACC's 304 company-owned locations
in the United States accounted for approximately 61.0% of the Budget System's
vehicle rental U.S. revenues, while its 70 company-owned locations outside the
United States accounted for approximately 8.5% of the Budget System's
international vehicle rental revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1996,
BRACC's company-owned locations accounted for approximately 38.5% of total
worldwide Budget System revenues. At December 31, 1996, Budget franchisees
(including TEAM) maintained 652 locations in the United States and 2,182
locations internationally.
 
     TEAM.  TEAM is the largest U.S. Budget franchisee and is one of the largest
independent retailers of late model automobiles in the United States. TEAM
became a publicly held corporation in August 1994, with 23 locations in four
franchise territories, and embarked on a strategy to significantly expand its
Budget franchise base by further consolidating Budget franchise operations and
to develop a branded retail car sales operation within its Budget franchise
territories. Since that time, TEAM has pursued an aggressive growth strategy in
both its vehicle rental and retail car sales operations. Since its initial
public offering, TEAM has added an additional nine Budget franchise territories.
With 152 locations as of December 31, 1996, TEAM accounted for approximately
14.8% of the Budget System's 1996 U.S. revenues. Concurrently with the
development of its Budget franchise business, TEAM has developed or acquired 11
retail car sales facilities.
 
     Sanford Miller (Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), John P.
Kennedy (Vice Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Operating Officer and
Secretary) and Jeffrey D. Congdon (Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief
Financial Officer) together have over 75 years of experience in the vehicle
rental business and have acquired and operated 54 Budget franchises over the
past 15 years. In addition, Messrs. Miller and Congdon together have over 25
years of experience operating retail car sales facilities.
 
                                       48

     Budget Group.  Upon completion of the Budget Acquisition, Budget Group will
consist of 455 company-owned locations in the United States, including 21 of the
25 largest airport rental markets in the United States. In addition, Budget
Group will account for approximately 76% of the Budget System's 1996 U.S.
system-wide revenues. Accordingly, the Budget Acquisition will mark a
significant furtherance of the initiative undertaken by BRACC approximately 10
years ago to make the transition from being a franchising company to being an
operating company as well as furtherance of TEAM's strategy of consolidating the
Budget System. Budget Group believes that its increased level of company-owned
operations will enable it to improve the performance of the Budget System and to
compete more effectively in both the corporate and consumer segments of the
vehicle rental industry. Budget Group will be managed by officers having
significant experience with BRACC and TEAM, who will utilize operating
strategies and systems that have proven most effective for BRACC and TEAM.
 
STRATEGY
 
     Management's long-term strategy is to create an automotive services company
which leverages the asset base and expertise of Budget Group. Budget Group's
assets include a trade name that is recognized around the world; locations for
the rental, sale and maintenance of vehicles; a workforce that is proficient in
acquiring, financing, monitoring, maintaining and selling cars and trucks; and
advanced information systems to support these operations. Increasing the
utilization of these assets by acquiring automobile-related businesses would
reduce Budget Group's unit costs and increase profitability. In the near term,
management has developed a business strategy designed to increase the revenues
and improve the profitability of Budget Group. Key elements of this strategy are
as follows:
 
     - Enhance the Budget brand
 
     - Improve the performance of car rental operations
 
     - Continue to expand retail car sales operations
 
     - Expand truck rental operations
 
  Enhance the Budget Brand
 
     Following the Budget Acquisition, the Budget System will be approximately
76% company-owned in the United States, giving Budget Group a percentage of
company-owned locations that management believes to be higher than many of its
principal competitors. Management believes this high level of corporate
ownership is a competitive advantage in the marketplace. It facilitates more
consistent delivery of high quality services and improved operations and
communications, thereby strengthening the Budget brand name among customers.
Improved "front counter" systems will be designed to present a more consistent
image to Budget customers, both corporate and individual, with an increased
emphasis on quality of service and customer satisfaction. Budget Group's
structure will facilitate national advertising and marketing programs designed
to increase the public's awareness of the Budget brand. In addition, management
believes that there will be continuing opportunities to further consolidate the
Budget System by acquiring additional franchise operations, and that such
consolidation will further strengthen the Budget brand.
 
  Improve the Performance of Car Rental Operations
 
     Historically, TEAM has enhanced the profitability of its acquired franchise
territories by reducing operating costs and increasing rental revenue.
Similarly, in 1996, BRACC began initiatives that are already significantly
improving the performance of its company-owned operations. Upon completion of
the Budget Acquisition, management believes Budget Group will be able to combine
key elements of the TEAM and BRACC strategies to achieve even greater operating
efficiencies. Budget Group expects to undertake significant initiatives to (i)
enhance the performance of its U.S. car rental operations, (ii) capitalize on
the increased level of company-owned locations, (iii) increase its marketing to
corporate accounts, (iv) place increased emphasis on the leisure and local
rental markets, and (v) expand and improve Budget's international operations.
 
     Enhance the Performance of U.S. Car Rental Operations.  TEAM and BRACC have
each successfully enhanced the profitability of their operations by implementing
cost reduction strategies. These strategies have
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   50
 
included centralizing certain corporate functions (such as credit card and
warranty processing), extending their fleet management practices in order to
improve fleet utilization and per unit cost versus yield, improving the timing
and processing of fleet deliveries and dispositions, reducing fleet downtime,
and improving fleet make/model composition to better match customer demand. TEAM
and BRACC have each also implemented cost management practices to reduce overall
personnel costs, lower vehicle maintenance expense and damage repair costs and
increase the effectiveness of their servicing procedures. In order to increase
revenues of its acquired operations, TEAM and BRACC have utilized various yield
management models to optimize pricing and fleet utilization (for example, by
tracking demand patterns and allowing local managers to shift fleet inventory
between locations). The Budget Group believes that it will be able to utilize
various elements of these operating strategies to enhance the performance of the
combined TEAM/BRACC operations.
 
     Capitalize on the Increased Level of Company-Owned Locations.  Management
believes that the addition of the 151 locations that TEAM operates in its 13
franchise territories to the 304 locations operated by BRACC in the United
States will significantly improve the car rental operations of Budget Group in
the United States. Specifically, the increased level of company-owned operations
will facilitate a more consistent delivery of services, uniform prices and
communications to customers and allow Budget Group to improve its yields and
fleet utilization in many of its locations. Management believes that the
combination of TEAM and BRACC operations in contiguous markets will
significantly improve the marketing programs and operating efficiency of the
combined company. For example, Budget Group will be able to achieve increased
efficiencies by integrating BRACC's operations at Los Angeles International
Airport with TEAM's operations throughout Southern California, BRACC's
operations in the New York City area with TEAM's operation in Philadelphia, and
BRACC's operation in Boston with TEAM's operation in Hartford. Combining the
operations of TEAM and BRACC, Budget Group will operate in 21 of the 25 largest
airport rental markets in the United States. Budget Group will seek to manage
the combined companies more efficiently by integrating critical management
information systems, developing more comprehensive customer data and combining
the two companies' regional management organizations.
 
     Increase Marketing to Corporate Accounts.  For the year ended December 31,
1996, approximately one-half of Budget Group's car rental revenue was derived
from corporate accounts, with this customer base accounting for approximately
one-half of Budget Group's rentals from airport locations. Management believes
that it will be able to increase the contribution from corporate accounts, both
in absolute dollars and as a percentage of its car rental revenues, by
significantly increasing its marketing efforts to corporate accounts.
Specifically, management believes that middle market companies (companies that
would have accounts in the $500,000 to $1.0 million annual revenue range)
provide usage and yield characteristics that are favorable for Budget Group.
Management expects to broaden Budget Group's marketing effort to this targeted
customer base by adding additional marketing personnel and believes that the
improved consistency of service and pricing throughout the Budget System, driven
in significant part by the higher proportion of company-owned locations, will be
particularly important in marketing to this customer base.
 
     Place Increased Emphasis on the Leisure and Local Markets.  Budget Group
intends to place an increased emphasis on the leisure and local markets upon
completion of the Budget Acquisition. Budget's success in the leisure market has
been driven by its reputation for offering vacation travelers favorable rates on
high quality cars and the strength of its operations at airports in travel
destinations. Management believes that corporate ownership of Budget's
operations in Florida, Hawaii, Southern California and Phoenix will improve
Budget Group's ability to market Budget's services to tour operators, travel
agents, travel wholesalers and cruise lines.
 
     The local segment of the car rental industry consists of facilities located
near downtown or suburban areas and is directed toward individuals renting cars
while their automobiles are being repaired, for out of town travel or for
special occasions, and toward businesses seeking automobiles or vans for
occasional local use. Budget was founded in 1958 in order to serve this segment,
and enhanced its position through an affiliation with Sears, Roebuck & Co.
("Sears") in 1970 (which allows Budget to rent cars and trucks under the Sears
name ("Sears Car and Truck Rental") at over 900 locations throughout the United
States). BRACC currently maintains more full-service local market locations
worldwide than its major competitors. Maintaining a strong position in the local
market significantly improves Budget's fleet utilization, as cars may be
shuttled from airports to downtown and suburban locations for weekend use.
Management believes that it will be able to improve its performance in
 
                                       50
<PAGE>   51
 
the local market segment by adding locations in certain existing local markets,
which should allow Budget Group to generate additional revenues with relatively
small increases in administrative overhead. Additionally, such locations
typically have less intense rate competition and fewer corporate customers
utilizing negotiated rate structures.
 
     Expand and Improve International Operations.  Budget is one of only three
systems that offers rental vehicles throughout the world under a single brand
name and Budget is recognized as a market leader in several key foreign markets,
including Canada, Germany and many Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Management believes that the strength of the Budget System in foreign markets
has important value in name recognition and serving the needs of local customers
and international travelers. For 1996, approximately 44.1% of the Budget
System's worldwide revenues were derived from its 2,252 locations in more than
110 countries. Company-owned operations at international locations in the United
Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand accounted for
approximately 8.5% of the Budget System's 1996 international revenues, with the
remainder attributable to the operations of approximately 2,182 franchised
locations. Management believes that it will be able to improve Budget Group's
international operations by implementing programs through which underperforming
franchisees will be able to improve their operating results. Management also
believes that certain emerging markets, such as the Pacific Rim and Southeast
Asia, provide growth opportunities for the Budget System, and that it will be
able to add locations in these markets, either directly or through franchisees.
 
  Continue to Expand Retail Car Sales Operations
 
     The increased cost of new cars and the improved reliability of low-mileage,
late model cars have contributed to greater market demand for late model cars in
recent years. Notwithstanding this growth, the retail car sales market remains
highly fragmented, with most late model cars being sold through the used car
operations of local or regional new car dealerships. Management believes that
the market for late model cars is currently undergoing significant changes, with
the emergence of companies retailing late model cars on a national or regional
basis.
 
     TEAM's Principal Executive Officers have more than 25 years of experience
in acquiring and selling low-mileage, late model cars. Budget Group, with 22
retail car sales facilities and pro forma car sales revenues of $246.9 million
for 1996, will be one of the largest independent retailers of late model cars in
the United States. Management believes that it will be able to improve the
performance of the acquired BRACC retail sales facilities by incorporating
certain systems that TEAM has utilized in its retail car sales operations and
that it will be able to achieve efficiencies by combining and centralizing
certain functions.
 
     Budget Group plans to establish a nationally recognized and branded retail
car sales operation which will provide low mileage, late model cars to consumers
in a new car sales environment under the Budget Car Sales brand. Management
expects Budget Group to establish multiple sales facilities in many of its
markets, which will allow Budget Group to benefit from shared administration and
marketing programs with its vehicle rental business.
 
  Expand Truck Rental Operations
 
     The Budget System is unique among major car rental systems in that it rents
trucks to consumers and commercial users in most major markets worldwide, with
the fourth largest consumer truck rental fleet in the United States. Budget has
long been considered an innovator in the truck rental market, having introduced
the first all-diesel-equipped and all-automatic-transmission fleets for consumer
use, as well as four-door versions of moving trucks that provide seating for a
family or moving crew. TEAM has implemented a strategy of expanding its truck
rental operations in its franchised territories, and management believes Budget
Group will be able to significantly expand Budget's truck rental business
following the Budget Acquisition. Management expects Budget Group to add truck
rental locations in various markets, particularly in conjunction with the
addition of new local market locations. Management believes that adding truck
rental locations will leverage certain fixed costs and increase consumer
awareness of the Budget brand, while favorable pricing trends in the truck
rental market are expected to provide attractive returns on invested capital.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM
 
     BRACC provides consistent system-wide services, a state-of-the-art
reservation system and other opportunities to all vehicle rental locations
within the Budget System. For 1996, pro forma for the consummation of the Budget
Acquisition, Budget Group constituted approximately 76% of the U.S. revenues of
the Budget System.
 
     System-Wide Services.  BRACC provides the Budget System with: (i) national
promotion, advertising and public relations; (ii) reservations and information
systems; (iii) data processing support; (iv) marketing programs with hotels and
airlines; (v) Sears Car and Truck Rental concessions; (vi) a sales staff for
marketing to corporate customers and the travel community; (vii) credit card
services for commercial customers; (viii) training in local marketing
techniques; (ix) operation, training and support; (x) fleet purchasing programs;
and (xi) a company-owned fleet of cars and trucks for one-way rentals. In
general, pursuant to its agreements with its franchisees, BRACC is required to
expend a certain percentage of franchise royalties that it receives on
advertising and promotion. In addition, BRACC negotiates with automobile
manufacturers to develop vehicle acquisition and disposition programs that are
available to franchisees as well as to company-owned locations.
 
     BRACC facilitates one-way car rentals between approximately 325 selected
company-owned and franchised locations in the United States. This one-way
program is also in place for truck rentals at approximately 325 locations. A
limited fleet of vehicles owned by BRACC is dedicated to supplement the one-way
vehicle rental capacity of the participating locations. This program enables the
Budget System to operate more fully as an integrated network of locations.
 
     Reservations System.  BRACC operates a state-of-the-art computerized
reservation system through WizCom. Budget's main reservation facility is located
in the Dallas metropolitan area and has over 400 employees. Auxiliary centers
are located in Toronto, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
These centers are linked with the major airline and travel industry reservation
systems through the worldwide Budget reservation network. The main reservation
facility accepts inquiries and reservations for Budget System locations
worldwide on a 24-hour basis, 365 days a year. The reservation centers utilize
an extensive database maintained on rates and vehicles available for nearly all
Budget System locations, a special file of pertinent information on frequent
renters and other information that facilitates the Budget System's business.
 
     Sears Car and Truck Rental.  In 1970, BRACC established a contractual
relationship with Sears which allows Budget operating locations to provide car
and truck rental under the Sears name. Sears Car and Truck Rental customers may
use their Sears charge card for payment of rental charges. Sears Car and Truck
Rental is available at approximately 900 Budget locations in the United States.
 
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
 
     Budget Group will be managed by a combination of managers from TEAM and
BRACC. Sanford Miller, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TEAM, will be
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Budget Group. The existing
managements of TEAM and BRACC will be integrated to create an effective and
experienced management team for Budget Group which draws upon the knowledge and
strengths of the two organizations. TEAM management anticipates that the
majority of BRACC's corporate functions will continue to be managed by existing
BRACC personnel. See "Management." Budget Group's primary corporate functions
will be centralized in its headquarters in Lisle, Illinois, the worldwide
headquarters of BRACC. TEAM previously maintained a decentralized management
structure of its day-to-day rental operations. As part of the Budget
Acquisition, TEAM's rental operations will be merged into BRACC's and
centralized to take advantage of cost benefits associated with centralization.
 
     TEAM coordinates vehicle purchases among its franchised territories to
enable it to benefit from volume purchases of vehicles. TEAM handles billing and
collection on a decentralized basis, but employs centralized cash management to
permit optimal use of its financial resources. TEAM's corporate staff manages
the acquisition and financing of new operating locations and general managers
develop local vehicle rental markets.

RENTAL OPERATIONS
 
     Budget rents a wide variety of automobiles and trucks, most of which
consist of the current and immediately preceding model years. Vehicle rentals
are generally made on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and generally include
unlimited mileage. Rental charges are computed on the basis of the length of the
rental or, in some cases, on the length of the rental plus a mileage charge.
Rates vary at different locations depending on the type of vehicle rented, the
local market and competitive and cost factors. Most rentals are made utilizing
rate plans under which the customer is responsible for gasoline used during the
rental. Budget also generally offers its customers the convenience of leaving a
rented vehicle at a Budget location in a city other than the one in which it was
rented, although, consistent with industry practices, a drop-off charge or
special intercity rate may be imposed.
 
     The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the number of
owned and franchised locations of Budget in North America and at international
locations and certain other data of Budget Group:

  North American Operations
 
     At December 31, 1996, BRACC owned and operated 304 Budget locations in the
United States, and franchisees (including TEAM) owned and operated 651 Budget
locations in the United States and 390 Budget locations in Canada. Of the U.S.
facilities, nearly 300 primarily serve airport business and more than 650 serve
local market (downtown and suburban) locations. Budget's mix of business
consists of approximately 65% in the airport segment and 35% in the local
segment. In addition, BRACC rents trucks at 137 of its company-owned locations.
 
     Budget is in many cases one of five to seven vehicle concessionaires at the
airports in which it operates. In general, concession fees for airport locations
are based on a percentage of total commissionable revenues (as determined by
each airport authority), subject to minimum annual guaranteed amounts.
Concessions are typically awarded by airport authorities every three to five
years based upon competitive bids. Budget's concession arrangements with the
various airport authorities generally impose certain minimum operating
requirements, provide for relocation in the event of future construction and
provide for abatement of the minimum annual guarantee in the event of extended
low passenger volume.
 
  International Operations
 
     At December 31, 1996, BRACC owned and operated 70 international Budget
locations, consisting of 36 European locations (including the Middle East and
Africa) and 34 locations in the Asia/Pacific region, and franchisees owned and
operated 2,182 international Budget locations, consisting of 1,140 European
locations, (including the Middle East and Africa), 263 Latin American locations
and 389 locations in the Asia/Pacific
 
                                       53

region. Budget locations can be found in more than 110 countries outside the
United States. Budget is recognized as a market leader in Canada, Germany and
many Latin American and Caribbean countries.
 
  Van Pooling Operations
 
     Van Pool, TEAM's commuter van pooling subsidiary, was acquired by TEAM in
February 1996 and maintains offices in 21 cities located in 15 states and the
District of Columbia. Founded in 1977, Van Pool provides van pooling services to
individuals, corporations and municipalities. Pursuant to van pool agreements
between TEAM and either the volunteer driver, corporation or municipality (the
"contracting party"), the contracting party agrees to drive or arrange a van
pool which travels a fixed route set by TEAM. TEAM sets the fees, which are
collected by the driver and remitted to TEAM. Van Pool employs approximately 40
individuals at its home office in Troy, Michigan and approximately 40
individuals in its local markets, and at December 31, 1996 operated a fleet of
approximately 3,250 passenger vans.
 
RENTAL VEHICLE PURCHASING
 
     Budget participates in a variety of vehicle purchase programs with major
domestic and foreign vehicle manufacturers. On average during model year 1996,
79% of BRACC's vehicle purchases consisted of Ford vehicles, 5% of Toyota
vehicles, and the remaining 16% of General Motors, Mazda and Chrysler vehicles.
These percentages vary among BRACC's operations and will most likely change from
year to year. The average price for automobiles purchased by BRACC in 1996 for
its rental fleet was approximately $18,300. TEAM also participates in a variety
of vehicle purchase programs with major domestic and foreign manufacturers. On
average during 1996, 42% of the automobile purchases consisted of Chrysler
vehicles, 15% of Ford vehicles and 21% of Nissan vehicles. The average price for
automobiles purchased by TEAM in 1996 for its rental fleet was approximately
$18,100.
 
     Budget's principal relationship has historically been with Ford, with an
emphasis on products from the Lincoln-Mercury Division of Ford. In 1988, Budget
entered into a ten-year supply agreement with Ford, which committed Budget to
acquire 70% of its vehicle requirements for company-owned rental locations from
Ford. Under this agreement, Ford agreed to remain competitive in products and
vehicle programs offered to Budget. Concurrently with the Budget Acquisition,
BRACC will enter into a new ten-year Supply Agreement with Ford. Under the new
Supply Agreement, BRACC and its affiliates (including TEAM) will agree (i) to
purchase or lease at least 70% of the total number of vehicles leased or
purchased by it in each model year from Ford and (ii) to purchase or lease at
least 80,000 new Ford vehicles in each model year in the United States. See "The
Budget Acquisition -- Related Agreements -- Supply Agreement."
 
FLEET UTILIZATION AND SEASONALITY
 
     Budget's business is subject to seasonal variations in customer demand,
with the summer vacation period representing the peak season for vehicle
rentals. The general seasonal variation in demand, along with more localized
changes in demand at each of BRACC's locations, causes BRACC to vary its fleet
size over the course of the year. For the year ended December 31, 1996, BRACC's
average monthly fleet size ranged from a low of 64,900 vehicles in January to a
high of 88,600 vehicles in August. Fleet utilization, which is based on the
average number of days vehicles are rented compared to the total number of days
vehicles are available for rental, ranged from 73% in January to 83% in August
and averaged 77% for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
     In 1996, TEAM's average monthly fleet size (excluding Van Pool) ranged from
a low of 10,694 vehicles in January to a high of 18,870 vehicles in July. Fleet
utilization ranged from 79% in June to 85% in August and averaged 81% for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
 
RENTAL RELATED PRODUCTS
 
     Although the dominant source of Budget Group's total revenue is time and
mileage charges from the rental of vehicles and franchise payments from its
franchisees, Budget Group also generates revenue from rental related products
such as loss damage waivers, personal accident insurance, personal effects
protection, additional liability insurance, other travel related insurance
coverages and travel related products. The travel related products from
 
                                       54
<PAGE>   55
 
which Budget Group generates revenue include vehicle upgrades, gasoline sales,
intercity drop-off charges and miscellaneous items such as baby seats, ski
racks, cellular phones and additional driver fees.
 
MARKETING
 
     BRACC's promotional and marketing activities are designed to promote Budget
as a value service provider and to promote brand loyalty. BRACC has a sales
force of approximately 200 employees worldwide. Budget's national advertising
program is implemented through a variety of media, including national and local
television, radio, newspapers, magazines, airline ticket jackets, airline
in-flight magazines and strategically located billboards, an Internet site,
counter and store collateral materials and merchandise. BRACC also has
cooperative advertising arrangements with airlines, hotels, travel agency
consortia and others in the travel industry. Budget participates in a number of
airline frequent flyer programs (including United Airlines, Southwest Airlines,
Alaska Airlines, Aeromexico and Lufthansa), as well as certain hotel programs,
theme park programs and credit card affinity programs. Budget also has a
frequent renter program, Awards Plus, which gives renters a strong incentive to
bring all of their car rental business to Budget. In addition, BRACC has
contracts with a number of airlines, hotels and other organizations pursuant to
which such organizations agree to recommend Budget's services during their
reservation calls and to transfer interested customers to a Budget reservation
agent. In addition, in connection with the Budget Acquisition BRACC will
undertake to carry out promotional programs that feature and promote the rental
of Ford vehicles. See "The Budget Acquisition -- Related
Agreements -- Advertising Agreement."
 
CUSTOMER SERVICE
 
     Budget's commitment to delivering a consistently high level of customer
service is a critical element of its success strategy. Each month, over 3,000
Budget customers are randomly surveyed to measure service levels by location.
Budget identifies specific areas of achievement and opportunity from these
surveys. Areas of improvement are addressed on a system-wide level and standard
methods and measures are developed. To drive improvement, the service standards
are audited routinely by management and service delivery standards accessors.
The major areas of these assessments include: (i) speed of rental/return process
including busing where applicable, (ii) vehicle condition and availability,
(iii) customer interaction including helpfulness and courtesy and (iv) location
image. In addition, Budget utilizes a toll-free "800" number that allows
customers to report problems directly to the Customer Relations department.
Monthly reports of the types and number of complaints received are used in
conjunction with the customer satisfaction reports by location management as
feedback of customer service delivery. Furthermore, Budget participates in the
annual J.D. Power and Associates survey process to ensure that competitive
levels of performance are achieved.
 
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
 
     BRACC's information technology is designed to provide Budget worldwide with
high quality, cost effective systems and services on a timely basis. In late
1995, BRACC implemented its state-of-the-art reservation system, which consists
of a highly integrated mainframe system with an intelligent workstation
component for reservation agents, allowing them to access pertinent information
in a fast and user-friendly manner. The reservation system has direct interfaces
to the airline system and captures key corporate and customer information.
 
     BRACC's rental counter and back-office system, BEST I, supports both
company-owned and franchisee operations. BRACC's fleet system supports fleet
finance, dealership accounting and ordering for all brands of vehicles including
direct ordering lines to Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda. BRACC's human
resources, benefits and payroll interface is supported by a client server system
that automatically feeds to an outsourced payroll system. In 1997 and 1998,
Budget Group intends to continue to enhance and consolidate its information
technology systems allowing Budget to deliver consistent customer service at all
of its locations.
 
VEHICLE RENTAL FACILITIES
 
     TEAM and BRACC lease substantially all of their U.S. airport and local
market rental facilities and operated from 455 rental locations at December 31,
1996. The airport facilities are located on airport property owned by
 
                                       55
<PAGE>   56
 
airport authorities or located near the airport in locations convenient for bus
transport of customers to the airport. Each airport facility includes vehicle
storage areas, a vehicle maintenance facility, a car wash, a refueling station
and rental and return facilities. Local market rental facilities generally
consist of a limited parking facility and a rental and return desk and are
generally subject to fixed-term leases with renewal options. Certain of these
leases also have purchase options at the end of their terms.
 
FRANCHISING
 
     Of Budget's 3,208 locations at December 31, 1996, 2,833 are owned and
operated by franchisees with franchisees representing 62% of 1996 system-wide
revenues. As of December 31, 1996, BRACC maintained over 800 separate franchise
agreements with almost 600 franchisees (including TEAM). BRACC has franchise
locations in more than 110 countries worldwide. Franchised locations range from
large operations in major airport markets with fleet sizes in excess of 4,000
vehicles and franchise territories within an entire country to operations in
small markets with fleets of fewer than 50 vehicles.
 
     BRACC considers its relationships with its franchisees to be excellent. It
works closely with franchise advisory councils (which have historically included
TEAM management) in formulating and implementing sales, advertising and
promotion, and operating strategies and meets regularly with these advisors and
other franchisees at regional, national and international meetings. BRACC has an
ongoing growth strategy of adding new franchises worldwide when opportunities
arise. Incremental franchises provide BRACC with a source of high margin revenue
as there are relatively few additional fixed costs associated with fees paid by
new franchisees to BRACC.
 
     BRACC's relationship with each Budget franchisee is governed by franchise
agreements (the "Franchise Agreements"), which grant to the franchisees certain
exclusive territories in which to operate the Budget vehicle rental business.
The Franchise Agreements provide BRACC with significant rights regarding the
business and operations of each franchise and impose restrictions on the
transfer of the franchise and on the transfer of the franchisee's capital stock
without the consent of BRACC. Each franchisee is required to operate each of its
franchises in accordance with certain standards contained in the Budget
operating manual (the "Operating Manual"). BRACC has the right to monitor the
operations of franchisees and any default by a franchisee under a Franchise
Agreement or the Operating Manual may give BRACC the right to terminate the
underlying franchise.
 
     In general, the Franchise Agreements grant the franchisees the exclusive
right to operate a Budget Rent a Car and/or Budget Rent a Truck business in a
particular geographic area for a stated period. Franchise Agreements generally
provide for an unlimited number of renewal terms. Upon renewal, the terms and
conditions of Franchise Agreements (other than with respect to royalty fees) may
be amended from those contained in the existing Franchise Agreements. The
standard royalty fee payable to BRACC under Franchise Agreements is 7.5% of
gross rental revenues in the United States and 5% of gross rental revenues in
international markets, but certain of the BRACC franchisees have franchise
agreements with different royalty fee structures.
 
     Pursuant to each Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must meet certain
guidelines relating to the number of rental offices in the franchised territory,
the number of vehicles maintained for rental and the amount of advertising and
promotion expenditures. In general, each Franchise Agreement provides that the
franchisee shall not engage in any other vehicle rental business within the
franchise territory during the term of such agreement and for 12 months
thereafter. In addition, franchisees agree not to use the word "Budget" or any
other Budget trademark other than in their vehicle rental business.
 
RENTAL VEHICLE DISPOSITION
 
     BRACC's operating strategy is to maintain its fleet at an average age of
four months or less, and TEAM's operating strategy has been to maintain its
fleet at an average age of six months or less. Approximately 88% of the vehicles
purchased by BRACC and approximately 85% of the vehicles purchased by TEAM in
model year 1996 were Program Vehicles. These programs currently require that
TEAM and BRACC maintain Program Vehicles in their fleets for a minimum number of
months and impose numerous return conditions, including those related to mileage
and repair condition. More than 97% of the Program Vehicles purchased by Budget
Group and scheduled to be returned in 1996 were eligible for return. At the time
of return to the manufacturer, BRACC and
 
                                       56
<PAGE>   57
 
TEAM receive the price guaranteed at the time of purchase and are thus protected
from fluctuations in the prices of previously-owned vehicles in the wholesale
market at the time of disposition. The future percentages of Program Vehicles in
Budget Group's fleet will be dependent on the availability and attractiveness of
manufacturers' repurchase programs, over which Budget Group has no control. See
"Risk Factors -- Potential Changes in Manufacturers' Repurchase Programs."
 
     In addition to manufacturers' repurchase programs, BRACC and TEAM dispose
of their rental fleet through automobile auctions, sales to wholesalers and
internal retail car sales operations. While the disposal of rental vehicles
through internal retail car sales operations has been limited to date,
management believes that such dispositions may increase as Budget retail car
sales operations continue to grow and as management evaluates the mix of Budget
Group's Program Vehicles and vehicles not subject to manufacturers' repurchase
programs.
 
RETAIL CAR SALES OPERATIONS
 
     As of December 31, 1996, TEAM operated 11 retail car sales facilities,
establishing TEAM as one of the largest independent retailers of late model cars
in the United States, with 1996 revenues of approximately $134.1 million. As of
December 31, 1996, BRACC operated 11 retail car sales facilities, with 1996
revenues of approximately $91.5 million. TEAM and BRACC sell cars, sport utility
vehicles and trucks through their retail car sales facilities.
 
     Retail Car Sales Inventory.  In 1996, the vehicles sold at Budget retail
car sales facilities consisted primarily of 1996 model year automobiles and
passenger vans, with some 1995 model year vehicles and very few 1994 model year
vehicles. TEAM and BRACC have historically acquired most of their retail car
sales inventory at auctions, although they have acquired some cars from their
rental fleets. In the future, Budget Group expects to increase its acquisitions
of cars from the disposition of cars used in its rental fleet and to purchase a
smaller portion from auctions. TEAM and BRACC coordinate car purchases among
their retail car sales locations to enable them to benefit from volume purchases
of cars.
 
     Trademarks.  TEAM and BRACC operate their retail car sales operations under
the name "Budget Car Sales," and Budget Group intends to continue to operate its
retail car sales facilities under that name after the Budget Acquisition.
 
     Vehicle Pricing and Financing.  While many cars display stickers indicating
their "blue book" value, customers are permitted to negotiate pricing terms with
the sales managers. Various local enterprises provide financing to customers of
TEAM and BRACC on a non-exclusive basis. To supplement its sale of vehicles,
TEAM and BRACC sell extended service contracts and related consumer products to
their customers.
 
     Retail Car Sales/Service Facilities.  Each of TEAM's retail car sales
facilities consists of a showroom and an outdoor display area, which together
accommodate the on-site display of at least 100 cars, and a service area.
Although certain of TEAM's retail car sales facilities have been converted from
facilities that were used in other businesses, TEAM prefers to build its own
retail car sales facilities and believes that such facilities can be built at an
average cost of approximately $1.2 million. The service departments operated at
each retail car sales facility are responsible for inspecting a car's condition
and for providing necessary reconditioning and maintenance services before sale.
These services are provided uniformly for its retail car sales facilities in
accordance with an inspection checklist developed by TEAM. Service departments
also provide after-sale service for TEAM's customers. BRACC's retail car sales
facilities are typically smaller than TEAM's car sales facilities and do not
include service departments.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The vehicle rental industry is characterized by intense competition,
particularly with respect to price and service. In any geographic market, Budget
Group may encounter competition from national, regional and local vehicle rental
companies. Budget's main competitors in the rental market are Hertz, Avis,
Alamo, National and Enterprise. In consumer truck rentals, Budget faces
competition from U-Haul, Ryder and Penske. There have been occasions when the
major vehicle rental companies have been adversely affected by industry-wide
price
 
                                       57
<PAGE>   58
 
cutting, and TEAM and BRACC have on such occasions lowered their prices in
response. Budget Group will not generally be able to unilaterally raise its
prices or to maintain its prices in times of industry price cutting.
 
     The retail car sales business is also characterized by intense competition
from a range of regional and local car dealerships and other retailers of
previously-owned vehicles. Management believes that Budget Group competes
primarily against new car dealers retailing previously-owned cars. Budget
Group's retail car sales facilities are located among similar facilities and, in
some instances, together with Budget Group's rental operations. The entry of
large, well-capitalized retailers of late model previously-owned cars may
provide Budget Group with significant additional competition. See "Risk
Factors -- Competition."
 
INSURANCE
 
     TEAM currently has insurance coverage in an amount of up to $6.0 million,
with a $500,000 retention per occurrence, with respect to personal injury and
damage claims arising from the use of its vehicles, except with respect to
vehicles rented through its Los Angeles, San Diego, Albany and Rochester
operations. Under California law, vehicle rental customers are primarily liable
for damages arising from the use of rental vehicles. Vehicle rental companies
are secondarily liable for such damages up to an amount limited by California
law to $35,000 per occurrence, unless the vehicle rental company has negligently
maintained the vehicle or has "negligently entrusted" the vehicle to a rental
customer. Accordingly, TEAM does not maintain third party insurance coverage in
California. In New York, TEAM maintains insurance coverage with a third party
insurer, with no applicable deductible. TEAM's workers compensation insurance
coverage is subject to a $500,000 self-insurance retention. TEAM's general
liability coverage is $1.0 million per occurrence, $2.0 million aggregate
coverage with no retention.
 
     BRACC currently has excess liability insurance coverage in an amount of up
to $3.0 million in excess of a $2.0 million self-insured retention on a per
occurrence basis in the United States and a $1.0 million self-insured retention
in the United Kingdom with respect to general liability claims and with respect
to personal injury and property damage claims arising from the use of vehicles
rented from company-owned locations. There is no self-insured retention for the
BRACC operation in France and only a $1,000 and $5,000 self-insured retention
for Australia and New Zealand operations, respectively. Claims resulting from
accidents occurring in the United States are administered by BRACC employees,
while claims resulting from accidents occurring at any international BRACC
locations are administered by third-party claim handling services. BRACC has
worker's compensation insurance with a $500,000 self-insurance retention, as
well as $100 million property insurance coverage subject to a $1.0 million
aggregate deductible with $250,000 per occurrence maintenance deductibles.
 
REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     TEAM and BRACC are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations, including those relating to taxing and licensing of vehicles,
franchising, consumer credit, environmental protection, retail vehicle sales and
labor matters.
 
  Matters Affecting the Vehicle Rental Industry
 
     Approximately 7.0% and 6.8% of the 1996 car rental revenues of TEAM and
BRACC, respectively, were generated from the sale of loss damage waivers. The
United States House of Representatives has from time to time contemplated
legislation that would regulate the conditions under which loss damage waivers
may be sold by car rental companies. For example, in January 1995, a bill was
introduced in the United States House of Representatives which seeks to prohibit
the imposition of liability on renters for loss of, or damage to, rented
vehicles, except in certain circumstances, and, if passed, would prohibit the
sale of loss damage waivers. To date, no action has been taken on this bill. In
addition, approximately 40 states have considered legislation affecting the sale
of loss damage waivers. To date, 18 of those states have enacted legislation
requiring disclosure to each customer at the time of rental that a loss damage
waiver may not be necessary; certain states have enacted legislation limiting
rental car companies' right to offer loss damage waivers for sale and limiting
potential customer liability to specified amounts; and other states have capped
the rates that may be charged for loss damage waivers to stated amounts per day.
Adoption of national or additional state legislation limiting the sale, or
 
                                       58
<PAGE>   59
 
capping the rates, of loss damage waivers could further restrict sales of this
product, and additional limitations on potential customer liability could
increase costs to Budget Group. Certain states currently make vehicle owners
(including vehicle rental companies) vicariously liable for the actions of any
person lawfully driving an owned vehicle, regardless of fault. Vehicle rental
companies are also subject to various federal, state and local consumer
protection laws and regulations including those relating to advertising and
disclosure of charges to customers. The National Association of Attorneys
General has promulgated suggested guidelines for car rental advertisements.
 
  Environmental Matters
 
     The principal environmental regulatory requirements applicable to TEAM and
BRACC operations relate to the ownership or use of tanks for the storage of
petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and waste oils; the treatment
or discharge of waste waters; and the generation, storage, transportation and
off-site treatment or disposal of waste materials. TEAM and BRACC operate at
approximately 170 locations where petroleum products are stored in underground
or aboveground tanks. TEAM and BRACC each maintain environmental compliance
programs designed to maintain compliance with applicable technical and
operational requirements, including periodic integrity testing of underground
storage tanks and providing financial assurance for remediation of spills or
releases. TEAM and BRACC believe that their respective operations currently are
in compliance, in all material respects, with such regulatory requirements.
However, TEAM and BRACC, as well as those competing entities which own or
operate underground storage tanks, must achieve compliance with certain Federal
underground storage tank requirements by 1998. Although the costs of complying
with these requirements have not been estimated and may, in the aggregate, be
substantial, management believes that such costs are not likely to have a
material adverse effect on Budget Group's results of operations, financial
condition, or competitive position.
 
     The historical and current uses of the TEAM and BRACC facilities may have
resulted in spills or releases of various hazardous materials or wastes or
petroleum products ("Hazardous Substances") which now, or in the future, could
require remediation. TEAM and BRACC also may be subject to requirements related
to remediation of Hazardous Substances that have been released to the
environment at properties they own or operate, or owned or operated in the past,
or at properties to which they send, or have sent, Hazardous Substances for
treatment or disposal. Such remediation requirements generally are imposed
without regard to fault, and liability for any required environmental
remediation can be substantial. TEAM and BRACC may be eligible for reimbursement
or payment of remediation costs associated with releases from registered
underground storage tanks in states that have established funds to assist in the
payment of such remediation costs. Subject to certain deductibles, the
availability of funds, the compliance status of the tanks and the nature of the
release, these tank funds may be available to TEAM and BRACC for use in
remediating releases from their tank systems.
 
     TEAM Locations.  Certain of the TEAM locations have been the subject of
environmental remediation as a consequence of leaks or spills and continue to
have some level of environmental impairment that may require further
remediation. In connection with the acquisition of franchise territories in
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, the seller, Chrysler Credit
Corporation, Inc. ("CCC"), agreed to provide up to $873,750 through 1997 for
remediation activities at sites in those areas shown to be impaired by
assessments performed under the supervision of TEAM. Although the ultimate cost
of these remediation activities is currently unknown, management believes that
the amount of funding to be provided by CCC will be sufficient to cover the cost
of these remediation activities.
 
     BRACC Locations.  Approximately 140 BRACC-owned rental facilities contain
underground storage tanks. In connection with the Budget Acquisition, Ford has
agreed subject to certain limitations to indemnify TEAM against losses incurred
by TEAM arising out of or resulting from breaches by BRACC of BRACC
representations and warranties in its Stock Purchase Agreement (including those
relating to environmental matters), to the extent such losses are not covered by
an insurance policy or a reserve established by BRACC, relating to any action by
a third party in connection with environmental matters. Ford's indemnity
obligation for environmental and certain other matters is capped at $40 million.
However, Ford is not required to indemnify TEAM unless such loss individually
exceeds $15,000 and the breach of all representations and warranties (including
those relating to environmental matters) has resulted in aggregate losses in
excess of $2.0 million, nor is Ford required to pay the
 
                                       59
<PAGE>   60
 
first $2.0 million of such aggregate losses (including those relating to
environmental matters). Although the potential cost of any necessary remediation
at BRACC's facilities is not precisely known, it is not expected to exceed $10
million over the next three to five years.
 
     See "Risk Factors -- Regulatory and Environmental Matters."
 
  Franchise Matters
 
     As a franchisor, BRACC is subject to federal, state and foreign laws
regulating various aspects of franchise operations and sales. These laws impose
registration and disclosure requirements on franchisors in the offer and sale of
franchises and, in certain states, also apply substantive standards to the
relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee, including those
pertaining to default, termination and nonrenewal of franchises.
 
  Other Matters
 
     Regulations enacted by various federal and state authorities affect Budget
Group's businesses. The financing activities of Budget Group's retail car sales
operations are subject to federal truth in lending, consumer leasing and equal
credit opportunity regulations, as well as state and local motor vehicle finance
laws, installment finance laws, insurance laws, usury laws, installment sales
laws and other consumer protection regulations.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
     From time to time, TEAM and BRACC are subject to routine litigation
incidental to their businesses. In addition, BRACC is currently seeking to
terminate the franchise arrangement of its franchisee for Germany based on
alleged violations of the terms of the underlying franchise agreement. If such
franchise arrangement is terminated, BRACC intends to seek to replace such
franchisee with a new franchisee and/or company-owned locations. Neither TEAM
nor BRACC is currently involved in any legal proceeding which it believes would
have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or operations.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     TEAM had approximately 2,000 employees at December 31, 1996, including
part-time and "on call" employees who shuttle vehicles between locations. At
December 31, 1996, 50 employees in San Diego, 50 employees in Pittsburgh and 46
employees in Philadelphia were subject to collective bargaining agreements. The
collective bargaining agreement covering the San Diego employees expires in
October 1997, the collective bargaining agreement covering the Pittsburgh
employees expires in November 1998 and the collective bargaining agreement
covering the Philadelphia employees expires in October 1998. TEAM believes that
its employee relations are good.
 
     BRACC had approximately 9,800 employees at December 31, 1996, including
part-time and "on call" employees who shuttle vehicles between locations. At
December 31, 1996, 1,021 employees in various locations throughout the United
States were subject to collective bargaining agreements. These collective
bargaining agreements expire between 1997 and 1999. BRACC believes that its
employee relations are good.
 
HEADQUARTERS
 
     TEAM's headquarters facility consists of 2,500 square feet of leased space
in Daytona Beach, Florida. BRACC's headquarters facility consists of 149,088
square feet of leased office space plus 11,400 square feet of space for a data
center in Lisle, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Other significant BRACC
properties include a 69,300 square foot reservations center in Carrollton,
Texas, which is owned by BRACC, a 61,168 square foot leased administrative
center in Orlando, Florida, and a 21,600 square foot leased international
headquarters facility in Hemel Hempstead, England, a suburb of London.
Management believes that these facilities are sufficient for the needs of Budget
Group.

                             THE BUDGET ACQUISITION
 
GENERAL
 
     On January 13, 1997, TEAM entered into the Stock Purchase Agreements with
Ford, BRACC and John J. Nevin (the common stockholder of BRACC), pursuant to
which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, TEAM will acquire
the capital stock of BRACC. Consummation of the Offering will occur concurrently
with, and is conditioned upon, consummation of the Budget Acquisition, the Debt
Placements and the New Fleet Financings, and will provide a portion of the
financing for the Budget Acquisition.
 
TERMS OF THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
     Consideration.  The consideration to be paid by TEAM pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreements consists of (i) approximately $275.0 million of Cash
Consideration (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) and (ii) the
issuance to Ford of the Equity Consideration. The Equity Consideration will be
the greater of (i) 4,500 shares of the newly created Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and (ii) a number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock equal to the product of (x) .001 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing
$75,000,000 by the average of the closing prices of the Class A Common Stock for
the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the second trading day
prior to the closing date of the Budget Acquisition. Each share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock will be non-voting, will not carry a dividend and
will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at such
time as the record ownership of such share of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is transferred to or held by any person or any entity other than Ford or
any affiliate of Ford. In addition, based upon the closing price of the Class A
Common Stock on the NYSE on April 23, 1997, TEAM would be obligated under the
Stock Purchase Agreements to purchase approximately $97.3 million of the
currently outstanding indebtedness of BRACC to Ford and Ford would be obligated
to cancel an additional $131.7 million of outstanding BRACC indebtedness. Based
upon the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market
on January 13, 1997, the date of execution of the Stock Purchase Agreements, the
amount of BRACC indebtedness that TEAM agreed to purchase would have been $105.8
million and the amount of BRACC indebtedness that Ford agreed to cancel would
have been $123.3 million. TEAM is also obligated under the Stock Purchase
Agreements to refinance approximately $886.6 million of indebtedness outstanding
under BRACC's existing fleet financing facilities. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     Special Bonus Program.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements,
concurrently with the consummation of the Budget Acquisition, Ford is required
to contribute $2.4 million in cash to BRACC or TEAM in connection with the
establishment of the Special Bonus Program providing for bonus payments to BRACC
employees with an aggregate value equal to $4.8 million. The Special Bonus
Program will provide for broad participation by employees of BRACC. TEAM expects
that it will fund the Special Bonus Program by issuing options to purchase
Common Stock of TEAM under TEAM's 1994 Option Plan. See "Management -- Benefit
Plans -- 1994 Option Plan."
 
     Conditions to the Closing.  The obligations of TEAM, Ford, BRACC and the
other parties to the Stock Purchase Agreements to consummate the Budget
Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction or, where legally permitted, waiver
of certain conditions, including among others (i) the absence of any temporary
restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order or other
legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreements, (ii) the expiration or
termination of the waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Budget
Acquisition under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as
amended, (iii) redemption by BRACC of its outstanding Series X Preferred Stock
and (iv) termination of the existing stockholders' agreement between Ford and
the common stockholder of BRACC. The closing of each of the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreements is conditioned upon the concurrent
consummation of all of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreements.
 
                                       61
<PAGE>   62
 
     Stockholder Approval.  Simultaneously with the execution of the Stock
Purchase Agreements, the holders of all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock
of TEAM executed a written consent action approving the issuance of the Equity
Consideration. No other approval of the stockholders of TEAM is required in
connection with the Budget Acquisition.
 
     Termination.  The Stock Purchase Agreements may be terminated under certain
circumstances, including, among others, if the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreements shall not have occurred on or
prior to October 15, 1997 or by mutual written agreement of the parties to the
Stock Purchase Agreements.
 
     Indemnification.  Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements, subject
to certain limitations described below, Ford has agreed to indemnify TEAM
against losses arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach by Ford of a
representation or warranty contained in the Stock Purchase Agreements, (b) any
breach by BRACC of any BRACC representation or warranty (without giving effect
(other than with respect to representations on environmental liabilities) to any
exception contained therein for matters that would or would not, as the case may
be, have a material adverse effect on BRACC), (c) any breach by the common
stockholder of BRACC of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in its
Stock Purchase Agreement or (d) any failure by Ford to perform any agreement or
covenant contained in the Stock Purchase Agreements. Ford will not be required
to indemnify TEAM for any losses except to the extent that (i) the breach of the
particular representations and warranties as to which indemnification is sought
has resulted in losses, individually, in excess of $15,000 and (ii) the breach
of all such representations and warranties as to which indemnification is sought
has resulted in aggregate losses in excess of $2.0 million (subject to limited
exceptions with respect to tax and environmental matters). Ford will not, in any
event, be required to pay (x) the first $2.0 million of losses incurred by TEAM
or (y) any losses of TEAM under the Stock Purchase Agreements or otherwise to
the extent that the aggregate amount of losses incurred by TEAM theretofore paid
by Ford exceeds $40.0 million. The $40.0 million limitation will not apply with
respect to any claim for indemnification in respect of a breach by BRACC of its
representations and warranties with respect to employee programs and taxes.
Claims for breaches of representations and warranties must be brought prior to
the first anniversary of the closing date of the Budget Acquisition (subject to
certain limited exceptions, including representations with respect to tax,
environmental and employee benefit matters).
 
     TEAM has agreed to indemnify Ford against, and agreed to protect, save and
keep harmless Ford from payment of, and assumed liability for the payment of,
all losses arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by TEAM of a
representation or warranty contained in the Stock Purchase Agreements or (ii)
any failure by TEAM to perform any agreement or covenant contained in the Stock
Purchase Agreements.
 
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES TO BE ADDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
BUDGET ACQUISITION
 
     In connection with the Budget Acquisition, certain executive officers and
significant employees of BRACC are expected to join the management team of
Budget Group. See "Management."
 
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE BUDGET ACQUISITION
 
     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  Upon consummation of the Budget
Acquisition and the Offering, Ford will beneficially own an aggregate of
approximately 21.1% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock (assuming conversion of all of the shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, but assuming no conversion
of any outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible notes or shares of Class
B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock). The Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock to be issued to Ford as the Equity Consideration will be automatically
converted into 4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the event that the
beneficial or record ownership of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is transferred to or held by any person or entity that is not Ford or an
affiliate of Ford. Ford may elect to transfer the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and thereby effect a conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock into Class A Common Stock at any time. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
                                       62
<PAGE>   63
 
     Preferred Stockholders Agreement.  In connection with the consummation of
the Budget Acquisition, Ford and TEAM will enter into the Preferred Stockholders
Agreement (the "Preferred Stockholders Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the
Preferred Stockholders Agreement, Ford will agree that, during the period
commencing on the closing date of the Budget Acquisition and terminating on the
first anniversary of such closing date, Ford and its affiliates will not,
directly or indirectly, (i) purchase or otherwise acquire, or propose or offer
to purchase or otherwise acquire, any equity securities of TEAM if, immediately
after such purchase or acquisition, Ford's equity interest in TEAM would equal
or exceed the equity interest of Ford in TEAM as of the closing date of the
Budget Acquisition, or (ii) propose or offer to enter into certain Business
Combinations (the "Standstill Agreement"). "Business Combination" means any one
of the following transactions: (i) any merger or consolidation of BRACC or any
subsidiary of BRACC with Ford or any affiliate of Ford; (ii) any sale, lease,
exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition by BRACC in one or a
series of transactions to or with Ford or any affiliate of Ford of all or a
substantial part of the consolidated assets of BRACC; (iii) the adoption of any
plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of BRACC proposed by or on
behalf of Ford or any affiliate of Ford; or (iv) any reclassification of
securities, recapitalization of BRACC or any merger or consolidation of BRACC
with any subsidiary of BRACC or any other transaction to which BRACC is a party
which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding
shares of any class of equity or convertible securities of BRACC or any
subsidiary of BRACC which is owned by Ford or any affiliate of Ford. The
Standstill Agreement will not apply during any period in which Ford's equity
interest in TEAM is less than ten percent, to any issuance and sale of new
equity securities by TEAM to Ford or any Ford affiliate, or to certain other
permitted acquisition transactions. Additionally, Ford will agree that it will
not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any equity
securities of TEAM beneficially owned by Ford except pursuant to a registered
underwritten public offering, pursuant to an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, to TEAM or a subsidiary
thereof, or to a Ford affiliate. TEAM will agree that, during the period
beginning on the date of the Preferred Stockholders Agreement and ending on the
earliest of (i) nine months following the date thereof, (ii) the date on which
Ford's equity interest in TEAM is less than 50% of its equity interest as of the
closing date of the Budget Acquisition and (iii) if, on the date eight months
from the date of the Preferred Stockholders Agreement, there is not pending a
request for registration pursuant to Ford's demand registration rights
(including a request in connection with which securities registered pursuant to
a registration statement in connection with a Ford demand registration request
have not all been offered or fully distributed), then, on the eight-month
anniversary of the closing date of the Budget Acquisition, TEAM will not (x)
issue or sell TEAM equity securities (subject to certain exceptions), (y)
acquire control of any person or assets or business for cash consideration in
excess of $20 million or (z) make any acquisition in a transaction involving
TEAM equity securities (subject to certain exceptions) without the written
consent of Ford. Pursuant to the Preferred Stockholders Agreement, TEAM will
grant to Ford certain registration rights with respect to the equity securities
of TEAM held by Ford and its affiliates. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
RELATED AGREEMENTS
 
     Supply Agreement.  Concurrently with the consummation of the Budget
Acquisition, BRACC will enter into a supply agreement with Ford (the "Supply
Agreement"). Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, BRACC and its affiliates
(which term includes TEAM but does not include other Budget franchisees) will
agree to purchase or lease Ford vehicles in such quantity in the United States,
Canada and other countries outside the European Union so that the percentage of
Ford vehicles purchased or leased in each country will be at least 70% of the
total number of vehicles leased or purchased in each model year by BRACC and its
affiliates. In the United States, BRACC and its affiliates and franchisees will
purchase or lease at least 80,000 Ford vehicles in each model year. Under the
terms of the Supply Agreement, Ford and its affiliates will agree to offer to
BRACC and its affiliates and franchisees, for each model year, vehicles and
fleet programs that are generally competitive with the vehicles and fleet
programs of other automotive manufacturers. Ford also will agree to make
reasonable allocations of Ford vehicles available to BRACC and its affiliates
and franchisees, and such allocation in the United States in any model year must
be at least 80,000 vehicles. The Supply Agreement will be effective from
September 1, 1997 through August 31, 2007, and is subject to exceptions and
revisions upon the occurrence of force majeure events.
 
                                       63
<PAGE>   64
 
     Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Budget Group has agreed to pay
Ford, on September 1, 1998 and on each anniversary through September 1, 2004, an
annual royalty equal to the greater of (i) one percent of net vehicle revenue of
BRACC for the prior model year, or (ii) a specified minimum amount (equal to
$9.9 million for the September 1, 1998 annual royalty payment and subject to
adjustment for each annual period thereafter, based upon changes in the consumer
price index). The minimum royalty payable with respect to each model year will
be reduced by a stated amount for each Ford vehicle purchased by BRACC and its
affiliates and franchisees in excess of 123,000 Ford vehicles. The aggregate of
all royalties paid to Ford over the term of the Supply Agreement is subject to a
limit of $100 million.
 
     Advertising Agreement.  Concurrently with the consummation of the Budget
Acquisition, BRACC will enter into a 10-year advertising agreement with Ford
(the "Advertising Agreement") under which BRACC will undertake to carry out
promotional programs that feature and promote the rental of Ford vehicles. Such
promotional programs include a wide variety of advertising and promotional
activities to promote Ford products. Under the terms of the Advertising
Agreement, Ford will pay to BRACC for such advertising and promotional
activities a stated base amount for each model year with an annual consumer
price index adjustment. The base amount is fixed for the first five model years
(beginning with model year 1998) and Ford and BRACC agree to negotiate in good
faith to determine the base amount for the last five years of the Advertising
Agreement. Ford will not be required to pay the amount specified under the
Advertising Agreement for any model year if the percentage of Ford vehicles
acquired during the model year falls below 55%, subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Advertising Agreement, and will be required to pay more than
the base amount if the percentage of Ford vehicles acquired during the model
year exceeds 55%. Payments by Ford under the Advertising Agreement are also
subject to reduction if the total of Ford vehicles acquired in any model year
falls below the total of Ford vehicles acquired in model year 1997.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
     The Compensation Committee is composed of Mr. Agronin and Dr. Weber,
neither of whom has ever been an officer or employee of TEAM or any of its
subsidiaries or entered into a related party transaction with TEAM.
 
BENEFIT PLANS
 
     1994 Option Plan.  The 1994 Option Plan provides for the grant to selected
key employees of TEAM and its subsidiaries of either incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code") or nonqualified options (intended not to qualify as incentive stock
options) to purchase Common Stock. The 1994 Option Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares
of Common Stock that may be made subject to options granted pursuant to the 1994
Option Plan is 1,750,000 (subject to stockholder approval as described under
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale"), subject to adjustments for certain changes
in TEAM's capitalization. The price per share of a stock option must be at least
the fair market value per share as of the date of grant. In the case of an
employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of TEAM, the price per share
under an incentive stock option must be at least 110% of the fair market value
per share as of the date of grant. No option may be exercised within six months
from the date of grant, except that an option will be immediately exercisable
upon the occurrence of certain events, including a "change in control" of TEAM
as defined in the 1994 Option Plan. The Budget Acquisition will not result in a
change in control under the 1994 Option Plan. Except in the event of the death
or disability of a holder of nonqualified stock options, no option may be
exercised more than 10 years after its date of grant (and, in the case of an
employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of TEAM, an incentive stock
option held by such employee may not be exercised more than five years after its
date of grant). Unless sooner terminated, the 1994 Option Plan terminates on
April 24, 2004. As of the date of this Prospectus, 729,850 options are
outstanding under the 1994 Option Plan (including 164,000 options to purchase
shares of Class B Common Stock). TEAM expects to fund the Special Bonus Program
by issuing options to purchase approximately 326,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock to BRACC employees. The options granted in connection with the Special
Bonus Program are expected to become exercisable on the second anniversary of
the date of grant and to be exercisable for a period of five years thereafter.
See "The Budget Acquisition -- Terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements -- Special
Bonus Program."
 
     1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan.  TEAM's 1994 Directors' Stock Option
Plan (the "1994 Directors' Plan") provides for the grant to directors of TEAM
who are not employees of TEAM of options to purchase Class A Common Stock. The
1994 Directors' Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The maximum
number of shares of the Class A Common Stock subject to options granted pursuant
to the 1994 Directors' Plan is 150,000 (subject to stockholder approval of an
amendment to the plan). The exercise price per share under an option is the fair
market value per share as of the date of grant. The options are exercisable in
full beginning six months after the date of grant, except that an option will be
immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of
 
                                       69
<PAGE>   70
 
certain events, including a "change in control" of TEAM as defined in the 1994
Directors' Plan. Except in the event of a holder's death or disability, no
option may be exercised more than 10 years after its date of grant. Unless
sooner terminated, the 1994 Directors' Plan will terminate on April 24, 2004. As
of the date of this Prospectus, 70,000 options are outstanding under the 1994
Directors' Plan (subject to stockholder approval as described under "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale").
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
     Concurrently with the completion of TEAM's initial public offering in
August 1994, the Principal Executive Officers and certain current and former
employees of TEAM (the "Exchange Stockholders"), who were the stockholders of
certain of the corporations that owned the Albany and Rochester, New York,
Richmond, Virginia and San Diego, California Budget franchises, exchanged all of
their shares of these corporate entities for an aggregate of 563,400 shares of
the Class A Common Stock and 1,936,450 shares of the Class B Common Stock (the
"Share Exchange"). The Principal Executive Officers thereby acquired 100% of the
shares of the Class B Common Stock that have been issued by TEAM. Upon
consummation of the Share Exchange and the redemption of the preferred stock of
TEAM's subsidiary that operates the San Diego airport franchise, all of the
Albany, Rochester, Richmond and San Diego operating companies became wholly
owned subsidiaries of TEAM. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
     Pursuant to an agreement dated as of November 1, 1994, Team Rental of Ft.
Wayne, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of TEAM, purchased all of the shares of
capital stock of Ft. Wayne Rental Group, Inc. ("Ft. Wayne"). Ft. Wayne, which
was owned by Mr. Miller and others, including a former TEAM employee, acquired
the assets comprising the Ft. Wayne business in June 1993 for approximately
$26,000, plus the assumption of approximately $66,000 of liabilities. The total
purchase price for the stock of Ft. Wayne was 18,500 shares of the Class A
Common Stock valued at approximately $200,000 (plus a de minimis amount of cash
to prevent the issuance of fractional shares of stock). Mr. Miller received
7,400 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for his shares of Ft. Wayne
stock. Prior to the acquisition of Ft. Wayne, Tranex, which became a subsidiary
of TEAM in the Share Exchange, leased vehicles to Ft. Wayne. The aggregate
payments under this lease amounted to approximately $366,000 in 1994.
 
     The Principal Executive Officers have guaranteed the performance of the
obligations of some or all of TEAM's subsidiaries under their respective
Franchise Agreements. In connection with TEAM's initial public offering in
August 1994, TEAM's franchisors agreed to release these individuals from their
guarantees under the Franchise Agreements and substitute TEAM's guarantee
therefor, provided that TEAM maintains tangible net worth of $15.0 million. In
the event that TEAM's net worth falls below this level, TEAM has the option to
provide the franchisors with a $5 million letter of credit that could be drawn
on in the event of a monetary default under the Franchise Agreements or, in the
alternative, to allow the personal guarantees to be reinstated. In connection
with the Budget Acquisition, these franchise agreements with BRACC will be
eliminated.
 
     TEAM's Richmond, Virginia airport facility is leased from a partnership
formed by Mr. Miller and an employee of TEAM (the "Richmond Partnership"). This
lease terminates in 1998, subject to renewal. Rental payments under the lease
agreement amounted to approximately $95,000, $97,000 and $100,000 in 1994, 1995
and 1996, respectively. The monthly base rent under this lease (approximately
$7,900, $8,100 and $8,300 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively) escalates by
approximately 3% per annum. TEAM has entered into another lease for a
non-airport facility located in Chesterfield County, Virginia that is owned by
the Richmond Partnership. This lease commenced in June 1994 and terminates in
May 1999, subject to renewal. Rental payments under the lease agreement amounted
to approximately $24,000, $33,000 and $43,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The monthly base rent under this lease was approximately $3,400,
$3,500 and $3,600 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively and escalates by
approximately 3% per annum. TEAM's Rochester, New York airport facility is
leased from a partnership formed by Mr. Miller and a former employee of TEAM.
This lease terminates in 2003, subject to renewal. The monthly base rent under
this lease (approximately $6,700, $6,800 and $7,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively) escalated by 5% per annum until August 30, 1996, and thereafter
annual increases will be the higher of 5% or the amount of the increase in the
consumer price index. Rental payments under the lease amounted to $75,000,
$81,000 and $84,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. All

of these leases are on a triple net basis (i.e., TEAM is responsible for the
payment of taxes, insurance and utilities and for the general maintenance of
these facilities in addition to its obligations to pay base rent). All of these
leases provide for an initial term of ten years and two five-year renewal terms.
TEAM believes that these leases are on terms no less favorable to TEAM than
could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
 
     TEAM's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania retail vehicle sales facility, regional
administrative headquarters and vehicle maintenance facility are leased from MCK
Real Estate Corporation ("MCK"), which is owned by the Principal Executive
Officers. This lease terminates in September 2002, subject to renewal. Rental

1996, respectively. The monthly base rent (approximately $26,000 per month in
1995) escalates by 3% per annum. TEAM's Richmond, Virginia retail car sales
facility is leased from MCK. This lease terminates in October 2000, subject to
renewal. Rental payments under the lease were approximately $10,000 and $121,000
for 1995 (one month) and 1996, respectively. The monthly base rent under this
lease (approximately $10,000 per month in 1996) escalates by 3% per annum.
TEAM's Dayton, Ohio retail car sales facility, which opened in April 1996, is
leased from MCK. This lease terminates in March 2001, subject to renewal. The
monthly base rent under this lease (approximately $10,000 per month in 1996)
escalates by 3% per annum. All of these leases are on a triple net basis. TEAM
believes that these leases are on terms no less favorable to TEAM than could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
 
     Prior to TEAM's initial public offering, TEAM's subsidiaries funded their
operations in part through loans from TEAM's executive officers. From December
1989 to June 1994, TEAM was provided loans by the Principal Executive Officers,
all of which, together with accrued interest, were repaid upon the completion of
TEAM's initial public offering. At that time, TEAM repaid loans previously made
by Mr. Miller in the aggregate principal amount of $1,052,257 with a weighted
average interest rate of 12.7%, loans previously made by Mr. Congdon in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,156,257 with a weighted average interest rate
of 12.4%, and loans previously made by Mr. Kennedy in the aggregate principal
amount of $690,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 13.3%.
 
     In addition, in order to finance the organizational expenses incurred by
TEAM prior to its initial public offering, Messrs. Miller, Congdon and Kennedy
advanced the following amounts: Mr. Miller -- $41,289 at prime plus 1.5%;
$3,300, non-interest bearing; Mr. Congdon -- $14,266 at prime plus 1.5%; $1,800,
non-interest bearing; and Mr. Kennedy -- $14,266 at prime plus 1.5%; $1,800,
non-interest bearing. All of these advances, together with accrued interest,
were repaid upon completion of the initial public offering.
 
     In connection with the Los Angeles Acquisition, TEAM entered into a
franchise agreement with SoCal, under which TEAM agreed to pay to the seller,
SoCal, a royalty equal to 5% of the monthly gross revenues derived from those
operations, subject to a minimum amount. In addition, TEAM issued a note to
SoCal in the principal amount of approximately $4,750,000 (the "SoCal Note"),
assumed the obligations of SoCal under a note in the principal amount of
approximately $4,700,000 which was secured by the personal guaranty of Jeffrey
R. Mirkin (the "SoCal Bank Note") and assumed certain other indebtedness that
was personally guaranteed by Mr. Mirkin. Mr. Mirkin is the Chief Executive
Officer and a general partner of SoCal and, upon consummation of the Los Angeles
Acquisition, became a director of TEAM. TEAM operates as a sub-franchisee of
SoCal in the San Diego territory and pays royalty fees to SoCal based on rental
revenues for vehicles other than trucks. In 1994, 1995 and 1996, TEAM paid SoCal
approximately $1,000,000, $1,200,000 and $3,700,000 in royalty fees,
respectively. Except as described above, prior to the Los Angeles Acquisition,
there was no material relationship between TEAM and SoCal. The SoCal Note,
together with accrued interest of $103,906, and the SoCal Bank Note were repaid
in April 1996. There was approximately $700,000 of other indebtedness payable by
TEAM to SoCal at December 31, 1996.
 
     In connection with the acquisition of ValCar in August 1996, TEAM assumed
an unsecured note payable to Jeffrey D. Congdon in the amount of $1.5 million.
The note is due on demand and bears interest at the prime rate plus 2%. Pursuant
to this note, TEAM made payments to Mr. Congdon in the amount of $64,449 in
1996.
 
     Sanford Miller is a member of the board of directors of Colonial Bank of
Volusia County in Ormond Beach, Florida. TEAM maintains a checking account at
that bank with an average balance of $100,000.

                            DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
     The authorized capital stock of TEAM consists of 17,500,000 shares of the
Class A Common Stock, 2,500,000 shares of the Class B Common Stock and 250,000
shares of the preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock").
At the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 22, 1997, the
stockholders approved an amendment to TEAM's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock TEAM is authorized to issue to 35,000,000 shares. Immediately prior
to the date of this Prospectus, there were 9,320,383 shares of the Class A
Common Stock, 1,936,600 shares of the Class B Common Stock and no shares of the
Preferred Stock outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock are held by the Principal Executive Officers.
 
CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
 
     Voting Rights.  Each share of the Class A Common Stock is entitled to one
vote and each share of the Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The Class A Common Stock and
the Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters
presented for a vote of the stockholders, except as noted below and as provided
under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Immediately following the Offering,
the holders of the Class B Common Stock will have, together with the Class A
Common Stock owned by such individuals, approximately 53.8% of the combined
voting power of the outstanding Class A and Class B Common Stock. As a result,
following the Budget Acquisition and prior to the conversion of the Convertible
Subordinated Notes or the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Principal
Executive Officers will continue to be able to elect all of Budget Group's Board
of Directors, thereby ensuring that members elected by them will continue to
direct the business, policies and management of Budget Group.
 
     TEAM's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires a vote of
60% of the number of shares of the Class B Common Stock outstanding, voting
separately as a class, and a majority of the shares of the Class A Common Stock,
voting separately as a class, to approve any modification to the rights and
privileges of the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock or any
reclassification or recapitalization of TEAM's outstanding capital stock.
 
     Dividends.  Each share of the Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive
dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of TEAM out of
funds legally available therefor. Identical dividends, if any, must be paid on
both the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock at any time that
dividends are paid on either, except that stock dividends payable on shares of
the Class B Common Stock are payable only in shares of the Class B Common Stock
and stock dividends payable on shares of the Class A Common Stock are payable
only in shares of the Class A Common Stock. If a dividend or distribution
payable in the Class A Common Stock is made on the Class A Common Stock, TEAM
must also make a pro rata and simultaneous dividend or distribution of shares of
Class B Common Stock on the Class B Common Stock. If a dividend or distribution
payable in Class B Common Stock is made on the Class B Common Stock, TEAM must
also make a pro rata and simultaneous dividend or distribution of shares of
Class A Common Stock on the Class A Common Stock.
 
     Convertibility.  Each share of the Class B Common Stock is convertible at
any time at the option of the holder into the Class A Common Stock on a
share-for-share basis. Shares of the Class B Common Stock will be automatically
converted into shares of the Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis in
the event that the record or beneficial ownership of such shares of the Class B
Common Stock shall be transferred (including, without limitation, by way of
gift, settlement, will or intestacy) to any person or entity that was not a
holder of Class B Common Stock at the time of transfer. Therefore, the shares of
Class B Common Stock will only exist so long as they are held by one or more of
the Principal Executive Officers. Shares of the Class A Common Stock are not
convertible.
 
     Liquidation Rights.  In the event of the dissolution of TEAM, after
satisfaction of amounts payable to creditors and distribution to the holders of
outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, of amounts to which they may be
preferentially entitled, holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets available for
distribution to the stockholders.
 
                                       74
<PAGE>   75
 
     Other Provisions.  There are no preemptive rights to subscribe for any
additional securities which TEAM may issue and there are no redemption
provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A Common Stock or
the Class B Common Stock, nor is either class subject to calls or assessments by
TEAM. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and all shares to be
outstanding upon completion of the Offering will be, legally issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  General
 
     The Board of Directors of TEAM has the authority, without further action by
the stockholders, to cause TEAM to issue up to 250,000 shares of preferred stock
(the "Preferred Stock") in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any unissued
shares of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares comprising any series
and the designations of such series. The issuance of Preferred Stock, while
providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and
other corporate transactions, could, among other things, adversely affect the
voting power of the holders of Common Stock and, under certain circumstances,
make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of TEAM, deny
stockholders the receipt of a premium on their Common Stock and have an adverse
effect on market price of the Common Stock.
 
  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
     In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 10,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as the "Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock." In connection with the Budget Acquisition, 4,500
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued to Ford as the
Equity Consideration (subject to adjustment, as described under "The Budget
Acquisition -- Terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements").
 
     Rank.  The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to
dividend rights and rights on liquidation, senior to the Common Stock.
 
     Voting Rights.  The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
will not be entitled to any voting rights, except as otherwise provided by law
or as noted below. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be required to
amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation if such amendment
affects materially and adversely the specified rights, preferences, privileges
or voting rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
     Dividends.  Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors
of TEAM out of funds legally available therefor. Each share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is also entitled to receive cumulative cash
dividends in respect of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
such amount as the holder thereof would receive if such share were converted
into a share of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for
payment of any cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock. No dividends may be
declared by the Board of Directors on the Common Stock or any other class of
stock ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock unless full
cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid with
respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
     Convertibility.  Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will
automatically be converted into 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to
adjustment in the case of stock dividends, subdivisions, reverse stock splits or
reclassifications of outstanding Class A Common Stock) in the event that the
record ownership of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is transferred to
any person other than Ford or an affiliate of Ford.
 
     Liquidation Rights.  In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the affairs of TEAM, after satisfaction of amounts payable to
creditors, holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive distributions in the same amount that such holders would
receive if such shares were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock
immediately prior to the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of
 
                                       75
<PAGE>   76
 
TEAM, in preference to any payment to holders of Common Stock or any other
securities ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
     Other Provisions.  There are no preemptive rights to subscribe for any
additional securities which TEAM may issue and there are no redemption
provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, nor is the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock subject to
calls or assessments by TEAM.
 
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
 
     In December 1996, TEAM issued $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of
Series A Convertible Notes. The Series A Convertible Notes are convertible, at
the option of the holders, into Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of
$20.07 per share. The outstanding Series A Convertible Notes are convertible
into an aggregate of 3,986,049 shares of Class A Common Stock. For a description
of the Series B Convertible Notes to be issued in connection with the Budget
Acquisition, see "Description of Certain Indebtedness -- Convertible
Subordinated Notes -- Series B Notes."
 
WARRANTS
 
     In connection with TEAM's initial public offering and acquisition of the
Budget operations in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, TEAM issued to
BRACC a warrant (the "BRACC Warrant") to purchase 175,000 shares of the Class A
Common Stock at the price of the shares in the initial public offering ($9.50
per share). The BRACC Warrant is exercisable commencing August 1996 and expires
in August 1999. After August 24, 1998 and prior to August 24, 1999, the holder
of the BRACC Warrant will have the right to cause TEAM to repurchase the BRACC
Warrant for $2.0 million. In connection with financing provided to TEAM in April
1996, TEAM issued to NationsBank, National Association (South) a warrant (the
"NationsBank Warrant") to purchase 187,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at the
then current market price ($10.87 per share). The NationsBank Warrant is
exercisable from the date of its issuance and expires in April 2001.
 
BYLAW PROVISIONS
 
     TEAM's Bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be
called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary of TEAM, or by one or more
stockholders holding shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of the
aggregate votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. The Bylaws also provide
that any action which may be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken
without a meeting and without prior notice if written consents approving the
action are signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting
of stockholders. These provisions will make it more difficult for a third party
to gain control of TEAM.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     Concurrently with the consummation of the Budget Acquisition, TEAM and Ford
will enter into the Preferred Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which
registration rights will be granted to Ford with respect to any Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock issued to Ford as part of
the Equity Consideration (the "Ford Registrable Securities"). The Preferred
Stockholders Agreement will provide that the holders of Ford Registrable
Securities may, at any time after the date of the Preferred Stockholders
Agreement, require TEAM to register such shares under the Securities Act,
provided that such requesting holders have a good faith intention to offer and
sell at least 33% of the Ford Registrable Securities held by such holders
(subject to certain limited exceptions). The holders of Ford Registrable
Securities may also, at any time that TEAM is eligible to file a registration
statement on Form S-3, request TEAM to file a shelf registration statement to
effect the registration and offering of the Ford Registrable Securities. The
Preferred Stockholders Agreement also provides that at any time Common Stock is
to be registered by TEAM under the Securities Act, TEAM must notify the holders
of Ford Registrable Securities to allow their participation in the registration,
unless the lead managing underwriter of the offering determines that the total
number of such securities to be registered, along
 
                                       76
<PAGE>   77
 
with the securities to be sold by TEAM, will exceed the maximum number of TEAM's
securities that can reasonably be sold. In such case, the securities proposed to
be included by the holders of Ford Registrable Securities will be reduced on a
pro rata basis. TEAM may defer the registration of the Ford Registrable
Securities pursuant to a request for registration under certain circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, TEAM will not be required (i) to cause to be
declared effective any registration of Ford Registrable Securities prior to the
date three months after the date of the Preferred Stockholders Agreement and
(ii) unless waived by the managing underwriter of such offering, to effect any
registration of Ford Registrable Securities during the period starting with the
date of filing by TEAM of, and ending on a date 90 days following the effective
date of, any other registration statement filed to effect a demand registration
or shelf registration of Ford Registrable Securities or any other registration
statement in which holders of Ford Registrable Securities were entitled to
participate pursuant to their incidental registration rights, provided that TEAM
must actively employ in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause any such
registration statement to become effective as soon as possible. TEAM will not be
required to file more than four demand registration statements for the
registration of Ford Registrable Securities. TEAM has agreed to pay the costs
and expenses incurred in connection with each incidental registration and the
first three demand registrations, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions.
 
     In connection with the sale of the Series A Convertible Notes in December
1996, TEAM entered into a registration rights agreement granting holders
registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock into
which the notes are convertible. In connection with the sale of Series B
Convertible Notes, TEAM will amend and restate the registration rights agreement
(the "Notes Registration Rights Agreement") to which the holders of Series A
Convertible Notes are parties, and the holders of Series B Convertible Notes
will become parties thereto. The Notes Registration Rights Agreement provides
that TEAM will file a shelf registration statement relating to the Series B
Convertible Notes and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes at the earlier of one year from
the date of issuance of the Series B Convertible Notes or promptly after the
disposition by Ford of at least 2.25 million shares of Class A Common Stock (the
"probation period"). The holders may require TEAM to effect an underwritten
public offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement. In addition, the
holders of all outstanding Series A Convertible Notes and the Series B
Convertible Notes may require TEAM to register such notes at any time during the
probation period. TEAM may prohibit offers and sales of securities pursuant to
the registration statements under certain circumstances. TEAM has also agreed to
pay the costs and expenses of each registration effected under the Notes
Registration Rights Agreement, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions.
 
     Concurrently with completion of its initial public offering in August 1994,
TEAM and the Exchange Stockholders entered into the registration rights
agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") granting such holders
registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock received by them
as a result of the Share Exchange. The Registration Rights Agreement provides
that the holders of at least 33% of the outstanding shares received in the Share
Exchange may require TEAM to register such shares under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act") on two occasions, provided that the aggregate
offering price of the shares so registered is not less than $1 million on each
occasion. The Registration Rights Agreement also provided that at any time Class
A Common Stock is to be registered by TEAM under the Securities Act, TEAM must
notify the Exchange Stockholders to allow their participation in the
registration, unless the managing underwriters of the offering determine in good
faith that the total number of such securities to be registered, along with any
securities to be sold by TEAM or any other persons having rights to participate
in the offering, is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of
the offering. In such case, the securities proposed to be included by the
Exchange Stockholders will be reduced on a pro rata basis. TEAM has agreed to
refrain from selling its securities during the 10-day period prior to, and the
180-day period following, the consummation of each underwritten offering made
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. TEAM has also agreed to pay the
costs and expenses of each registration effected under the Registration Rights
Agreement, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. The Registration
Rights Agreement was amended in November 1, 1994 to include the signatories to
the Ft. Wayne stock purchase agreement.
 
     The holders of shares issuable upon the exercise of the BRACC Warrant are
also entitled to two demand and unlimited "piggyback" registration rights with
respect to the shares issuable upon its exercise, and the holders of shares
issuable upon exercise of the NationsBank Warrant are entitled to one demand and
unlimited "piggyback"
 
                                       77

registration rights. TEAM will bear the expenses of registering such shares,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the Los
Angeles Acquisition, TEAM and SoCal entered into a registration rights agreement
granting SoCal and its affiliated entities unlimited "piggyback" registration
rights subject to certain conditions. TEAM will bear the expenses of registering
such shares, other than underwriting discounts and commissions.
 
INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
 
     As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, TEAM's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors of TEAM will not
be personally liable to TEAM or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to TEAM or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, relating to prohibited dividends, distributions and repurchases or
redemptions of stock, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derives an improper personal benefit. TEAM's Bylaws provide that TEAM shall
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents, to the fullest
extent provided by Delaware law. TEAM has also entered into indemnification
agreements with certain of its executive officers and directors. The
indemnification agreements require TEAM, among other things, to indemnify such
directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of
their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising
from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), and to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified. TEAM maintains directors' and officers' insurance against certain
liabilities.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling TEAM pursuant to
the arrangements described above, TEAM has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
     At present, there is no pending material litigation or proceeding involving
any director, officer, employee or agent of TEAM where indemnification will be
required or permitted.
 
SECTION 203
 
     TEAM is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from consummating a
"business combination," except under certain circumstances, with an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years after the date such person became an
"interested stockholder" unless (i) before such person became an interested
stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction
in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved
the business combination; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that
resulted in the interested stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, the
interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding shares held by
directors who are also officers of the corporation and certain shares held by
employee stock plans); or (iii) following the transaction in which such person
became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the
board of directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of
stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested
stockholder. An "interested stockholder" generally is defined as a person who,
together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, within the prior three years,
owned) 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock. A "business
combination" includes mergers, asset sales and certain other transactions
resulting in a financial benefit to an interested stockholder.
 
TRANSFER AGENT
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock is
ChaseMellon Shareholder Services.

                      DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
 
THE NEW WORKING CAPITAL FACILITY
 
     Concurrently with consummation of the Offering, BRACC will enter into a new
working capital facility (the "New Working Capital Facility"), for which Credit
Suisse First Boston is acting as agent, to replace TEAM's $10.0 million working
capital facility. TEAM and each of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of BRACC
will guarantee the New Working Capital Facility, subject to certain exceptions
to be mutually agreed upon. The following is a summary of the material terms and
conditions of the New Working Capital Facility.
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will consist of a five-year senior,
secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $300 million. The New Working
Capital Facility will provide that (i) up to $100 million will be available for
loans, (ii) up to $40 million (or the equivalent thereof in certain foreign
currencies) of such $100 million will be available under a multi-currency
subfacility, (iii) up to $300 million will be available for letters of credit
and (iv) up to $225 million of such $300 million will be available for letters
of credit for credit enhancement of commercial paper or similar fleet financing
programs. In addition, aggregate letter of credit and loan outstandings under
the New Working Capital Facility will be subject to a borrowing base limitation
and may not at any time exceed the sum of 85% of eligible receivables (as
defined therein), 100% of eligible repurchase vehicles (as defined therein), 85%
of eligible non-repurchase vehicles (as defined therein), and 100% of eligible
cash and cash equivalents (as defined therein). All letters of credit and loans
under the New Working Capital Facility will mature on or by the fifth
anniversary of the date of the loan agreement.
 
     Interest will accrue on borrowings outstanding under the New Working
Capital Facility, at Budget Group's option, at a rate equal to (i) either the
higher of (A) the interest rate established by Credit Suisse as its base or
prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City and (B) the
federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5% (the higher of these
being known as the "ABR") plus the applicable margin for ABR loans (which margin
shall range from approximately 0.25% to 1.25%) or (ii) the rate at which
Eurocurrency deposits in the relevant denomination currency for one, two, three
or six months (as selected by Budget Group) are offered by Credit Suisse in the
relevant interbank Eurocurrency market plus the applicable margin for the
Eurocurrency rate (which margin shall range from 1.25% to 2.25%). The New
Working Capital Facility will require Budget Group to pay the following fees:
(i) a commitment fee based on the ratio of adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA of
Budget Group and ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum; (ii) a letter of credit
fee on the aggregate amount available under outstanding letters of credit equal
to a rate per annum which is the same as the applicable margin for Eurocurrency
loans from time to time in effect; and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee
equal to a rate per annum of 1/8% of the aggregate amount available under each
letter of credit issued.
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will be secured by (a) a first-priority
lien on (i) the capital stock of BRACC and each direct and indirect subsidiary
of BRACC (with respect to the international subsidiaries, no more than 65% of
the stock of each subsidiary will be required to be pledged in the event that a
pledge of a greater percentage would result in material increased tax or similar
liabilities for Budget Group and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis); (ii)
cash and other working capital such as receivables and related contract rights
of BRACC and its subsidiaries (other than assets pledged as security in respect
of a vehicle financing program; and (iii) all assets included in the borrowing
base and (b) as to letters of credit issued as credit and/or liquidity
enhancement for Budget Group's commercial paper program, perfected liens on the
assets surrounding the commercial paper issued pursuant to the commercial paper
program (which, in the case of credit enhancement, will generally be
subordinated).
 
     The New Working Capital Facility will contain a number of customary
affirmative covenants, including covenants which require BRACC and Budget Group
to deliver financial statements and other reports; pay other obligations;
maintain corporate existence; comply with laws and contracts; maintain
properties and insurance; maintain books and records; grant the lenders certain
inspection rights; provide notices of defaults, litigation and material events;
and comply with environmental matters. The New Working Capital Facility will
also contain a number of customary negative covenants, including limitations on
indebtedness (including preferred stock), liens, guarantee obligations, mergers,
consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases,
dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, capital expenditures,
investments, loans and advances; payments and
 
                                       79
<PAGE>   80
 
modifications of subordinated and other debt instruments, transactions with
affiliates, changes in fiscal year; negative pledge clauses; and changes in
lines of business.
 
     BRACC and Budget Group will be required to meet certain financial
covenants, consisting of (a) a minimum net worth (as defined) of Budget Group
equal to the sum of (i) $263,375 plus 50% of the net income of Budget Group for
each fiscal year commencing with 1997 as shall have been completed on or prior
to the time of computation plus 50% of the net equity proceeds (as defined); (b)
a maximum leverage ratio (as defined) of 5.60 to 1.00 for the quarter ending
September 30, 1997, declining to 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending December
31, 1999 and each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (c) a minimum interest coverage
ratio (as defined) of 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 1997,
increasing to 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 1999 and each
fiscal quarter thereafter.
 
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
 
     Series A Convertible Notes.  In December 1996, TEAM issued $80.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 7.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes, Series A, due
2003 (the "Series A Convertible Notes"). At a conversion price of $20.07 per
share, the Series A Convertible Notes are convertible into an aggregate of
3,986,049 shares of Class A Common Stock. Concurrently with the consummation of
the Offering, the note purchase agreements relating to the Series A Convertible
Notes will be amended to extend the maturity of the notes to 2007 and to conform
certain terms of the notes to the terms of the Series B Convertible Notes.
 
     Series B Convertible Notes.  Concurrently with the consummation of the
Offering, Budget Group will issue $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of
6.85% Convertible Subordinated Notes, Series B, due 2007 (the "Series B
Convertible Notes"). The Series A Convertible Notes and the Series B Convertible
Notes will generally be treated as a single class of notes for all purposes. The
Series B Convertible Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holders,
into an aggregate of 1,609,442 shares of Class A Common Stock, after the earlier
of the first anniversary of the date of issuance or the disposition by Ford of
at least 2.25 million shares of Class A Common Stock, at a conversion price of
$27.96 per share.
 
     Redemption.  The Series A Convertible Notes and the Series B Convertible
Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of Budget Group, at
a premium equal to 4.567% and 4.667%, respectively, declining in equal amounts
to par in April 2006, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date,
provided that prior to April 2002, no such redemption of the Convertible
Subordinated Notes will be permitted unless the closing price of the Class A
Common Stock for at least ten consecutive trading days (commencing 20 trading
days before Budget Group's notice of redemption) was at least 150% of the
conversion price for the notes of such series.
 
     Registration Rights.  TEAM has granted registration rights to the holders
of the Series A Convertible Notes and will grant registration rights to the
holders of the Series B Convertible Notes. For a description of such
registration rights, see "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights."
 
     Covenants.  The Series A Convertible Notes contain, and the Series B
Convertible Notes will contain, a number of customary affirmative covenants,
including covenants which will require Budget Group to pay principal and
interest on the Convertible Subordinated Notes, maintain properties, pay taxes
and claims, maintain its corporate existence, and continue in its lines of
business. Furthermore, the Series A Convertible Notes contain, and the Series B
Convertible Notes will contain, covenants limiting consolidation or merger and
limiting the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of Budget
Group's assets. In addition, upon a change of control (as defined in the note
purchase agreements), each noteholder may require Budget Group to repurchase the
Convertible Subordinated Notes held by such holder at 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. The Series A
Convertible Notes do not contain, and the Series B Convertible Notes will not
contain, any financial covenants.

GUARANTEED SENIOR NOTES
 
     Concurrently with the consummation of the Offering, BRACC will issue $165.0
million aggregate principal amount of 9.57% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2007
(the "Guaranteed Senior Notes"). The Guaranteed Senior Notes will be guaranteed
by Budget Group and certain subsidiaries of BRACC.
 
     Mandatory Redemption.  The Guaranteed Senior Notes will require annual
principal payments equal to $23,575,000 commencing on the fourth anniversary of
the date of issuance.
 
     Optional Redemption.  The Guaranteed Senior Notes will be redeemable at any
time at the option of BRACC, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the
greater of par or the present value of the future debt service on such notes,
discounted at 75 basis points above the then current yield to maturity of a U.S.
Treasury security with a maturity comparable to the remaining weighted average
life of the notes. In addition, as long as any Convertible Subordinated Notes
are outstanding, there must be outstanding at least $23.0 million aggregate
principal amount of Guaranteed Senior Notes.
 
     Covenants.  The Guaranteed Senior Notes will contain a number of customary
affirmative covenants, including covenants which will require BRACC to comply
with law; maintain insurance; maintain its properties; pay taxes and claims;
maintain its corporate existence; and continue in its lines of business.
Furthermore, the Guaranteed Senior Notes will contain covenants limiting liens,

addition, upon a change of control (as defined in the note purchase agreement),
each noteholder may require Budget Group to repurchase the notes held by such
holder at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date
of repurchase.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, TEAM will have outstanding 16,820,383
shares of the Class A Common Stock and 1,936,600 shares of the Class B Common
Stock (assuming the over-allotment option described below is not exercised). The
Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a
share-for-share basis and must be converted to effect any public sale of such
stock. Of these shares, 15,523,933 shares, including the 7,500,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock sold in the Offering, will be freely tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by an
"affiliate" of TEAM (as that term is defined in the Securities Act), which will
be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 (as amended effective April 30,
1997) under the Securities Act.
 
     The remaining 1,296,450 shares of the Class A Common Stock, all shares of
the Class B Common Stock and all shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock are "restricted" securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be
resold in a public distribution, except in compliance with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144. All these shares of
Class A Common Stock and all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 (as amended effective April 30, 1997). All the
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will become eligible for sale
under Rule 144 (as amended
 
                                       81

effective April 30, 1997) one year after the issuance of those shares in the
Budget Acquisition. TEAM's directors and executive officers, who in the
aggregate beneficially own 2,824,305 shares of Common Stock, have agreed that
they will not sell, contract or offer to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of TEAM for a period of 90 days from
the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse
First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the Underwriters. See "Underwriting."
After such date, certain of these stockholders have the right to demand that
TEAM register their shares under the Securities Act in accordance with
agreements between such holders and TEAM and may be able to dispose of their
shares in a registered public offering effected thereunder. In addition, certain
stockholders, the holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes and the holders
of stock purchase warrants possess certain demand and/or "piggyback"
registration rights. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights"
and "Management -- Benefit Plans."
 
     TEAM has reserved 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the
1994 Option Plan (which may be either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock) and 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the 1994
Directors' Plan. There are 729,850 stock options currently issued and
outstanding under the 1994 Option Plan (of which 164,000 are options to purchase
Class B Common Stock) and 70,000 stock options issued and outstanding under the
1994 Directors' Plan. TEAM filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act to register 760,000 shares of the Common Stock issuable under the
1994 Option Plan and 25,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the
1994 Directors' Plan. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options after the
effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement became eligible for resale
in the public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations
applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements applicable to certain shares
and options. TEAM expects to file a Form S-8 Registration Statement with respect
to the remaining 990,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the 1994 Option
Plan and 125,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the 1994
Directors' Plan. TEAM has further reserved 362,500 shares of Class A Common
Stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock purchase warrants.

                   CERTAIN U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S.
                        HOLDERS OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
     The following is a general discussion of U.S. Federal income and estate tax
consequences of the ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock by a
Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below). This discussion does not address all aspects
of U.S. Federal income and estate taxes and does not address any foreign, state
or local tax consequences. Furthermore, this discussion is based on provisions
of the Code, existing, temporary and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder
and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect or
proposed on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly
with retroactive effect, or different interpretations. Each prospective
purchaser of Class A Common Stock is advised to consult a tax advisor with
respect to current and possible future U.S. Federal income and estate tax
consequences of holding and disposing of Class A Common Stock as well as any tax
consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other
taxing jurisdiction. For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" with respect
to Class A Common Stock is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the
United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation
created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States
or of any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), (iii) an estate or
trust the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes regardless of its source or (iv) a person otherwise subject to U.S.
Federal income taxation on a net income basis with respect to worldwide income;
and a "Non-U.S. Holder" is any person other than a U.S. Holder.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
     Distributions on the shares of Class A Common Stock (other than
distributions in redemption of the shares of Class A Common Stock subject to
Section 302(b) of the Code) will constitute dividends for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits
of TEAM (as determined under U.S. Federal income tax principles). Dividends paid
to a Non-U.S. Holder of Class A Common Stock that are not effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S.
withholding tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty. Under the terms of the tax treaty between Canada
and the United States (the "Treaty"), dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder owning
less than 10% of TEAM's Class A Common Stock are subject to withholding tax at
the reduced rate of 15%, provided that such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to the
benefits of the Treaty. Moreover, under United States Treasury regulations which
are currently in effect, withholding is generally imposed on the gross amount of
the distribution, without regard to whether the corporation has sufficient
earnings and profits to cause the distribution to be a dividend for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes. Dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business within the United States or, if a tax treaty applies, are
attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of a Non-U.S. Holder, are exempt
from U.S. Federal withholding tax but are subject to U.S. Federal income tax on
a net income basis at applicable graduated individual or corporate rates. Any
such dividends effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States or attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment
received by a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject
to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be
specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Certain certification and
disclosure requirements must be complied with in order to be exempt from
withholding under the effectively connected income or permanent establishment
exemptions.
 
     Under current United States Treasury regulations, dividends paid to an
address outside the United States are presumed to be paid to a resident of such
country for purposes of the withholding discussed above, and, under the current
interpretation of United States Treasury regulations, for purposes of
determining the applicability of a tax treaty rate. Under proposed United States
Treasury regulations (the "Proposed Regulations") not currently in effect,
however, a Non-U.S. Holder of Class A Common Stock would be required to satisfy
applicable certification and other requirements to qualify for withholding at an
applicable treaty rate. The Proposed Regulations would require a Non-U.S. Holder
to file a beneficial owner withholding certification, e.g., a Form W-8, to
obtain the lower treaty rate. The Proposed Regulations would apply to dividends
paid after December 31, 1997, subject to certain transitional rules.
 
                                       83
<PAGE>   84
 
     A Non-U.S. Holder of Class A Common Stock may obtain a refund of any excess
amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS").
 
GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
 
     A Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. Federal income tax
with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of Class A Common
Stock unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of
the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder
who is an individual and holds Class A Common Stock as a capital asset, such
holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year
of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met, or (iii)
TEAM is or has been a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes at any time during the five-year period ending on the date
of the disposition, or, if shorter, the period during which the Non-U.S. Holder
held the Class A Common Stock (the "applicable period"), and the Non-U.S. Holder
owns, actually or constructively, at any time during the applicable period more
than five percent of the Class A Common Stock. Management believes that it is
not currently a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes.
 
FEDERAL ESTATE TAX
 
     Class A Common Stock held by an individual Non-U.S. Holder at the time of
death will be included in such holder's gross estate for U.S. Federal estate tax
purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
 
INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX
 
     Under Treasury regulations, TEAM must report annually to the IRS and to
each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax
withheld with respect to such dividends. These information reporting
requirements apply even if withholding was not required because the dividends
were effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business in the United States of
the Non-U.S. Holder or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable
income tax treaty. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends
and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country
in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable
income tax treaty.
 
     Backup withholding (which generally is a withholding tax imposed at the
rate of 31% on certain payments to persons who fail to furnish certain
information under the U.S. information reporting requirements) will generally
not apply to dividends paid to Non-U.S. Holders that either are subject to the
U.S. withholding tax, whether at 30% or a reduced treaty rate, or that are
exempt from such withholding of effectively connected income. As a general
matter, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment
by or through a foreign office of a foreign broker of the proceeds of a sale of
Class A Common Stock effected outside the United States. However, information
reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply to a payment by
or through a foreign office of a broker of the proceeds of a sale of Class A
Common Stock effected outside the United States where that broker (i) is a U.S.
person, (ii) is a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income
for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States
or (iii) is a "controlled foreign corporation" as defined in the Code
(generally, a foreign corporation controlled by certain U.S. shareholders),
unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a
Non-U.S. Holder and certain conditions are met or the holder otherwise
establishes an exemption. Payment by a U.S. office of a broker of the proceeds
of a sale of Class A Common Stock is subject to both backup withholding and
information reporting unless the holder certifies to the payor in the manner
required as to its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise
establishes an exemption.
 
     Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules do not constitute a
separate U.S. Federal income tax. Rather, any amounts withheld under the backup
withholding rules will be refunded or allowed as a credit against the holder's
U.S. Federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information or
appropriate claim for refund is filed with the IRS.

ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE CLASS
A COMMON STOCK BY NON-U.S. HOLDERS. ACCORDINGLY, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CON-

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the U.S.
Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the U.S.
Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the U.S. Shares (other than those
U.S. Shares covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any are
purchased. The Underwriting Agreement provides that, in the event of a default
by a U.S. Underwriter, in certain circumstances, the purchase commitments of
nondefaulting U.S. Underwriters may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement
may be terminated. Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, ABN AMRO Chicago
Corporation, Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated and McDonald & Company Securities,
Inc. are acting as representatives (the "Representatives") of the U.S.
Underwriters.
 
     TEAM has entered into a Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription
Agreement") with the Managers of the International Offering (the "Managers")
providing for the concurrent offer and sale of the International Shares outside
the United States and Canada. The closing of the U.S. Offering is a condition to
the closing of the International Offering and vice versa.
 
     TEAM has granted to the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers an option
exercisable by Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, expiring at the close of
business on the 30th day after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
1,125,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock at the public offering price
less underwriting discounts and commissions, all as set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus. Such option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments,
if any, in the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock. To the extent such
option is exercised, each U.S. Underwriter and each Manager will become
obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same
percentage of additional shares being sold to the U.S. Underwriters and the
Managers as the number of U.S. Shares set forth next to such U.S. Underwriter's
name in the preceding table and as the number set forth next to such Manager's
name in the corresponding table in the Prospectus relating to the International
Offering bears to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock in such
tables.
 
     At the request of TEAM, the U.S. Underwriters are reserving up to 200,000
shares of Class A Common Stock (2.7% of the shares to be offered) for sale to
employees, directors, franchisees and friends of Budget Group. The number of
shares available for sale to the general public in the U.S. Offering will be
reduced to the extent such persons purchase such reserved shares. Shares
purchased by employees, directors, franchisees and
 
                                       85
<PAGE>   86
 
friends of Budget Group will be at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be
offered by the U.S. Underwriters to the general public in the U.S. Offering.
 
     TEAM has been advised by the U.S. Underwriters that the U.S. Underwriters
propose to offer the U.S. Shares in the United States and Canada to the public
initially at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and, through the U.S. Underwriters, to certain dealers at such price
less a concession of $0.65 per share, and the U.S. Underwriters and such dealers
may allow a discount of $0.10 per share on sales to certain other dealers. After
the public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount to
dealers may be changed by the U.S. Underwriters.
 
     The public offering price, the aggregate underwriting discounts and
commissions per share and the per share concession and discount to dealers for
the U.S. Offering and the concurrent International Offering are identical.
Pursuant to an Agreement between the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers (the
"Intersyndicate Agreement") relating to the Offering, changes in the public
offering price, the aggregate underwriting discounts and commissions per share
and the per share concession and discount to dealers will be made only upon the
mutual agreement of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the
U.S. Underwriters, and Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, on behalf of
the Managers.
 
     Pursuant to the Intersyndicate Agreement, each of the U.S. Underwriters has
agreed that, as part of the distribution of the U.S. Shares and subject to
certain exceptions, it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell,
directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or distribute any
prospectus relating to the Class A Common Stock to any person outside the United
States or Canada or to any other dealer who does not so agree. Each of the
Managers has agreed or will agree that, as part of the distribution of the
International Shares and subject to certain exceptions, it has not offered or
sold, and will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A
Common Stock or distribute any prospectus relating to the Class A Common Stock
in the United States or Canada or to any other dealer who does not so agree. The
foregoing limitations do not apply to stabilization transactions or to
transactions between the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers pursuant to the
Intersyndicate Agreement. As used herein, "United States" means the United
States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia), its
territories, possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction. "Canada"
means Canada, its provinces, territories, possessions and other areas subject to
its jurisdiction, and an offer or sale shall be in the United States or Canada
if it is made to (i) an individual resident in the United States or Canada or
(ii) a corporation, partnership, pension, profit-sharing or other trust or other
entity (including any such entity acting as an investment adviser with
discretionary authority) whose office most directly involved with the purchase
is located in the United States or Canada.
 
     Pursuant to the Intersyndicate Agreement, sales may be made between the
U.S. Underwriters and the Managers of such number of shares of Class A Common
Stock as may be mutually agreed. The price of any shares so sold shall be the
public offering price, less such amount as may be mutually agreed upon by Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the U.S. Underwriters, and Credit
Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, on behalf of the Managers, but not
exceeding the selling concession applicable to such shares. To the extent there
are sales between the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers pursuant to the
Intersyndicate Agreement, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially
available for sale by the U.S. Underwriters or by the Managers may be more or
less than the amount appearing on the cover page of this Prospectus. Neither the
U.S. Underwriters nor the Managers are obligated to purchase from the other any
unsold shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
     This Prospectus may be used by underwriters and dealers in connection with
sales of International Shares to persons located in the United States, to the
extent such sales are permitted by the contractual limitations on sales
described above.
 
     TEAM and its officers and directors and certain other holders of Class A
Common Stock have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of TEAM,
file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act
relating to any additional shares of TEAM's Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of TEAM's Common
Stock, or disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposal
or filing, without
 
                                       86
<PAGE>   87
 
the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, in the case
of TEAM's officers and directors and such other holders, for a period of 90 days
and, in the case of TEAM, for a period of 180 days, after the date of this
Prospectus, except issuances pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted
under the 1994 Option Plan.
 
     TEAM has agreed to indemnify the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers against
certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments which the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
     Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation has acted as placement agent in
connection with each of the Fleet Financing Facilities, the offering of the
Series A Convertible Notes and the Debt Placements, and as underwriter for
TEAM's initial public offering and its public offering in July 1996. In
addition, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation acted as placement agent for a
fleet financing by SoCal shortly before it was acquired by TEAM. Credit Suisse
First Boston Corporation is acting as financial advisor to TEAM in connection
with the Budget Acquisition. Credit Suisse First Boston, a Swiss bank and an
affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, is the agent for the New
Working Capital Facility.
 
     The Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, may engage in
over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over
- -allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which
creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to
purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the
Class A Common Stock in the open market after the distribution has been
completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In "passive" market
making, market makers in the Class A Common Stock who are Underwriters or
prospective underwriters may, subject to certain limitations, make bids for or
purchases of the Class A Common Stock until the time, if any, at which a
stabilizing bid is made. Penalty bids permit the Representatives to reclaim a
selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares of Class A Common
Stock originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate
covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Such stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the
price of the Class A Common Stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the
absence of such transactions. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or
otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

                          NOTICE TO CANADIAN RESIDENTS
 
RESALE RESTRICTIONS
 
     The distribution of the Class A Common Stock in Canada is being made only
on a private placement basis exempt from the requirement that TEAM prepare and
file a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each province
where trades of Class A Common Stock are effected. Accordingly, any resale of
the Class A Common Stock in Canada must be made in accordance with applicable
securities laws which will vary depending on the relevant jurisdiction, and
which may require resales to be made in accordance with available statutory
exemptions or pursuant to a discretionary exemption granted by the applicable
Canadian securities regulatory authority. Purchasers are advised to seek legal
advice prior to any resale of the Class A Common Stock.
 
REPRESENTATIONS OF PURCHASERS
 
     Each purchaser of Class A Common Stock in Canada who receives a purchase
confirmation will be deemed to represent to TEAM and the dealer from whom such
purchase confirmation is received that (i) such purchaser is entitled under
applicable provincial securities laws to purchase such Class A Common Stock
without the benefit of a prospectus qualified under such securities laws, (ii)
where required by law, such purchaser is purchasing as principal and not as
agent, and (iii) such purchaser has reviewed the text above under "Resale
Restrictions."
 
RIGHTS OF ACTION (ONTARIO PURCHASERS)
 
     The securities being offered are those of a foreign issuer and Ontario
purchasers will not receive the contractual right of action prescribed by
section 32 of the Regulation under the Securities Act (Ontario). As a result,
Ontario purchasers must rely on other remedies that may be available, including
common law rights of action for damages or rescission or rights of action under
the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws.
 
ENFORCEMENT OF LEGAL RIGHTS
 
     All of TEAM's directors and officers as well as the experts named herein
may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for
Canadian purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the issuer
or such persons. All or a substantial portion of the assets of TEAM and such
persons may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be
possible to satisfy a judgment against TEAM or such persons in Canada or to
enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against TEAM or such persons
outside of Canada.
 
NOTICE TO BRITISH COLUMBIA RESIDENTS
 
     A purchaser of Class A Common Stock to whom the Securities Act (British
Columbia) applies is advised that such purchaser is required to file with the
British Columbia Securities Commission a report within ten days of the sale of
any Class A Common Stock acquired by such purchaser pursuant to the Offering.
Such report must be in the form attached to British Columbia Securities
Commission Blanket Order BOR #95/17, a copy of which may be obtained from TEAM.
Only one such report must be filed in respect of Class A Common Stock acquired
on the same date and under the same prospectus exemption.
 
TAXATION AND ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
 
     Canadian purchasers of Class A Common Stock should consult their own legal
and tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the
Class A Common Stock in their particular circumstances and with respect to the
eligibility of the Class A Common Stock for investment by the purchaser under
relevant Canadian legislation.

for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in this Prospectus and elsewhere
in the Registration Statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent certified public accountants, as indicated in their report with
respect thereto and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said
firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said report.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of Team Rental Group, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1995 included in this Prospectus and the related financial statement schedules
included elsewhere in the Registration Statement have been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP ("D&T"), independent auditors, as stated in their reports appearing
herein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement and are included in reliance
upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in
accounting and auditing.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of BRACC as of December 31, 1995 and
1996 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 have
been included in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere
herein and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
 
     On November 26, 1996, TEAM appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent
accounting firm for the remainder of 1996. TEAM's Audit Committee recommended
the appointment, which was approved by the Board of Directors. Concurrently, the
Board of Directors elected to dismiss D&T, TEAM's former independent accounting
firm. The report of D&T on TEAM's financial statements for the two years ended
December 31, 1995 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. Since TEAM's inception, D&T's reports on TEAM's financial statements
have not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the
opinions qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, nor were there any events of the type requiring disclosure under
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
 
     With regard to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, TEAM has previously
reported the following: (i) On February 2, 1996, TEAM announced that it would
restate its financial statements for all periods since its initial public
offering in 1994. This restatement resulted from a change in the accounting
treatment of the BRACC Warrant issued to BRACC concurrently with TEAM's initial
public offering in August 1994. This change in accounting treatment was the
subject of numerous discussions between officers of TEAM and representatives of
D&T (including discussions between D&T and the Audit Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors, which occurred in January 1996), and was approved by the
Audit Committee and announced to the public on February 2, 1996. TEAM believes
this matter was resolved to the satisfaction of D&T; (ii) in late 1995, TEAM
received funds from a vehicle manufacturer that it accounted for in a manner
similar to funds it had received from a vehicle manufacturer in 1993. In March
1996, D&T advised TEAM that it did not deem the 1995 transaction analogous to
the 1993 transaction. D&T discussed this matter with officers of TEAM, and TEAM
issued its financial statements in accordance with the recommendation of D&T. In
connection with the resolution this matter, neither the Board of Directors nor
any committee thereof formally discussed this matter with D&T. TEAM believes
that this matter was resolved to the satisfaction of D&T.
 
     TEAM has provided D&T with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and
D&T has indicated in a letter to the Commission that it agrees with these
disclosures. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. Neither TEAM nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Arthur
Andersen LLP regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K prior to its appointment.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Team Rental Group, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Team Rental
Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements of Team Rental Group, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and for each of
the two years in the period then ended were audited by other auditors whose
report dated April 12, 1996, expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Team Rental
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Description of Business
 
     Team Rental Group, Inc. (the "Company") engages in the business of the
daily rental of vehicles, including cars, trucks and passenger vans and the sale
of late-model used vehicles. The Company is the largest United States franchisee
of Budget Rent a Car ("Budget"), operating franchises granted by Budget Rent a
Car Corporation ("BRACC") through its operating subsidiaries serving thirteen
metropolitan regions in the United States. These franchises include Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; San Diego, California; Southern California
(excluding San Diego); Phoenix, Arizona; Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio; Albany and
Rochester, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; Hartford,
Connecticut and Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Company engages in the sale of
late-model used vehicles in San Diego and Los Angeles, California; Dayton and
Cincinnati, Ohio; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Charlotte, North Carolina;
Richmond, Virginia and Indianapolis, Indiana. MCK Realty, Inc. ("MCK") leases
certain facilities to the Company and is owned by the Company's principal
stockholders. Because MCK is controlled by the Company and the Company has
guaranteed the lease payments assigned to a bank, MCK is included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     Concurrent with the Company's 1994 initial public offering (Note 2), the
Company exchanged 563,400 shares of Class A common stock and 1,936,450 shares of
Class B common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of its San Diego,
Albany, Richmond and Rochester franchises ("the combined companies") which,
accordingly, became wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Share Exchange"). The 1994,
1995 and 1996 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Team
Rental Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and MCK. All significant
intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments including money market
funds, commercial paper and time deposits purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  Restricted Cash
 
     Restricted cash consists of Medium Term Notes proceeds not currently
invested in eligible revenue earning vehicles. Under the terms of the Medium
Term Notes Indentures, the Company is required to purchase revenue earning
vehicles with the proceeds or maintain the excess as restricted cash.
 
  Vehicle Inventory
 
     Vehicle inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined based on
specific identification) or market.

              (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
  Revenue Earning Vehicles
 
     Revenue earning vehicles are stated at cost less related discounts and
manufacturers' incentives and are depreciated over their estimated economic
lives or at rates corresponding to manufacturers' repurchase program guidelines,
where applicable. Depreciation rates generally range from 1.0% to 2.5% per
month. Management periodically reviews depreciable lives and rates based on a
variety of factors including general economic conditions and estimated holding
periods of the vehicles. Gains and losses upon the sale of revenue earning
vehicles are recorded as an adjustment to depreciation expense.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is being provided
on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings................................  10-23 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures........  3-10 years
Capital leases and leasehold
  improvements...........................  Lesser of estimated useful lives or terms
                                           of related leases
</TABLE>
 
  Deferred Financing Fees
 
     Direct costs incurred in connection with the Company's borrowings have been
deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements
on the straight-line method.
 
     On July 9, 1996, the Company utilized proceeds from its public offering of
Class A common stock to repay a $10,000 bridge financing facility it had
obtained from a bank in the second quarter of 1996. In conjunction with this
bank financing, the Company issued warrants valued at $700, which are included
in additional paid-in capital, and paid additional fees of approximately $1,000.
As a result of this repayment, the Company wrote off all unamortized fees
related to this financing, totaling $1,275.
 
  Prepaid Royalty Fees
 
     Prepaid royalty fees of $1,217 and $739 (net of accumulated amortization of
$783 and $1,261) at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, are related to the
abatement of fees at the Company's Philadelphia operations through June 15, 1999
and are recorded in other assets. The prepaid fees are being amortized using an
accelerated method over the royalty abatement period of five years. Amortization
of the prepaid royalty fees of $203, $580 and $478 is reflected in direct
vehicle and operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  Franchise Rights
 
     Franchise agreements are renewable for an unlimited number of one- and
five-year periods, subject to certain terms and conditions. Fees paid for
franchise rights are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method
over forty years. The Company believes that the vehicle rental industry and,
therefore, vehicle rental franchises have an expected life in excess of forty
years and the industry will continue as long as the automobile is an accepted
method of transportation. The specific markets the Company serves are considered
to be stable and are locations which are major national or regional commercial
centers that attract business and leisure travelers who need rental vehicles.
Circumstances that would indicate possible impairment to franchise rights
include the failure of BRACC to maintain its international network of rental car
franchises, the termination of the Company's presence in one or more major
airport markets, or a significant permanent decline in cash flows from rental

operations. The impairment would be measured as the amount by which the carrying
value of the related asset exceeds the present value of estimated future annual
cash flows generated by the franchise operations utilizing an appropriate
discount rate. Management has determined that no material impairment of
franchise rights existed at December 31, 1995 or 1996.
 
  Other Intangible Assets
 
     Other intangible assets consists of the goodwill recorded related to the
ValCar acquisition (see Note 3). Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line
method over forty years. Amortization expense of $35 is reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31,
1996. The Company evaluates the realizability of its goodwill based upon the
nondiscounted cash flows and operating income expected to be generated by the
assets purchased in the acquisition giving rise to the goodwill. Any impairment
would be measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill
exceeds the present value of estimated future annual cash flows generated by the
assets purchased utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Management has
determined that no material impairment of goodwill existed at December 31, 1996.
 
  Advertising, Promotion and Selling
 
     Advertising, promotion and selling expense are charged to expense as
incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $412, $2,347 and $6,912 in
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach
that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax
consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other
than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. Changes in tax laws or rates
will be recognized in the future years in which they occur.
 
  Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
 
     Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the year ended December
31, 1994, was computed assuming all of the outstanding common stock of the
combined companies (which totaled 2,500,000 shares) was outstanding the entire
year and the shares issued in connection with the initial public offering and
the Fort Wayne acquisition were outstanding from the dates issued. Earnings per
common and common equivalent share for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1996, were based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year considering the acquisitions in each respective year and the
purchase of treasury stock.
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No.
128"). SFAS No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share ("EPS"). Specifically, SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation
of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS, requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not
permitted. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 128 will not
have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

  Retention of Self Insured Risks
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company has automobile liability insurance
coverage of up to $6,000, with a $500 retention per occurrence with respect to
personal injury and damage claims arising from the use of its vehicles, except
with respect to vehicles rented through its Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix
operations. Under California law, vehicle rental customers are primarily liable
for damages arising from the use of rental vehicles. Vehicle rental companies
are secondarily liable for such damages up to an amount limited by California
law to $35 per occurrence, unless the vehicle rental company has negligently
maintained the vehicle or has "negligently entrusted" the vehicle to a rental
customer. In addition, a vehicle rental company can be held liable for damages
arising from use of its vehicles by its employees. The Company's Phoenix
operations are self-insured, with a $500 retention. The Company's workers
compensation coverage is subject to a $500 retention. The Company's general
liability coverage is $1,000 per occurrence, $2,000 aggregate coverage with no
retention.
 
     The Company provides reserves on reported claims and claims incurred but
not reported at each balance sheet date based on actuarial estimates. The
actuarially determined reserves are necessarily based on estimates, and while
management believes that the amounts are adequate, the ultimate liability may be
in excess of, or less than, the amounts provided. Such estimates are reviewed
and evaluated in light of claim experience and existing circumstances. Any
changes in estimates from this review process are reflected in operations
currently.
 
  Environmental Costs
 
     The Company's operations include the storage and dispensing of gasoline.
Expenses in connection with the remediation of accidental fuel discharges at
various locations are provided for when it is probable that obligations have
been incurred and amounts can be reasonably estimated. The Company has made no
material payments for environmental remediation that have not been reimbursed by
responsible parties.
 
  Stock Options
 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"), which encourages,
but does not require, companies to adopt the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. Under the fair value
method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value
of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such
transactions under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, but are
required to disclose on a pro forma basis, net income and, if presented,
earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been
applied.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company elected to adopt only the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, the Company will continue to account
for stock based employee compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.
 
2. PUBLIC STOCK OFFERINGS
 
     The Company sold 3,300,000 shares of Class A common stock on August 25,

3. ACQUISITIONS
 
     During 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company acquired certain Budget franchise
operations, a retail vehicle sales operation and a commuter van pooling
operation. The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the Company has allocated the cost of the
acquisitions on the basis of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The 1996 allocation for the ValCar Acquisition, as further
discussed below, is based on a preliminary estimate related to litigation claims
and may be revised at a later date. The accompanying consolidated statements of
income and cash flows reflect the operations of the acquired companies from
their respective acquisition dates.

At a conversion price of $20.07, the convertible subordinated notes are
convertible into 3,986,049 shares of Class A Common Stock. See Note 16.
 
  Vehicle Obligations
 
     Vehicle obligations consist of outstanding lines of credit to purchase
rental vehicles and retail car sales inventory. Collateralized lines of credit
at December 31, 1996, consist of $203,000 for rental vehicles and $26,000 for
retail car sales inventory with maturity dates ranging from April 1997 to May
1998. 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.
 
     Vehicle obligations relating to the rental fleet are generally amortized
over 5 to 15 months with monthly principal payments ranging from 2% to 3% of the
capitalized vehicle cost. When rental vehicles are sold, the related unpaid
obligation is due. Interest payments for rental fleet facilities are due monthly
at annual interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.75% at December 31, 1996.
Management expects vehicle obligations will generally be repaid within one year
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.
 
     In November 1996, Team Fleet Services Corporation ("TFSC") and VPSI, wholly
owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into Revolving Credit Agreements with
NationsBank, National Association (South), as Agent (the "Agent") for the
lenders party thereto, providing for up to $100,000 and $50,000, respectively,
of financing for the acquisition of program vehicles (the "Revolving Credit
Facilities"). The interest rates of loans under the Revolving Credit Facilities
are, at the option of TFSC and VPSI and up to certain amounts, based on the
Agent's prime rate, LIBOR or CD rates. The weighted average interest rate of
loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facilities at December 31, 1996,
was 7.125%.
 
     Monthly payments of interest are required on obligations relating to
vehicle inventory at prime plus .25% (8.50% per annum at December 31, 1996).
Vehicle inventory obligations are paid when the inventory is sold but in no
event later than 120 days after the date of purchase.
 
  Working Capital Facilities
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company had an unutilized working capital
facility of $10,000, which requires monthly interest payments on the outstanding
balance at LIBOR plus 2.50% (8.125% at December 31, 1996). This facility, which
expires in April 1997, is collateralized by accounts receivable, vehicle
inventory, property and equipment, certain intangibles, investments and all
other personal property of the Company and guarantees of certain subsidiaries.
This agreement is subject to certain covenants, the most restrictive of which
requires the

The outstanding balance bears interest at prime plus 2.0% (10.25% per annum at
December 31, 1996), is unsecured and is payable on demand.
 
     Approximately $564 and $4,013 of cash and cash equivalents are on deposit
with or are being held as agent for the Company by a bank at December 31, 1995
and 1996, respectively. A stockholder and director of the Company serves on the
bank's board of directors.
 
     In connection with the Los Angeles acquisition, the Company entered into a
franchise agreement with the seller to pay a royalty of 5% of the monthly gross
revenues derived from those operations, as well as the Company's San Diego
operations. A director of the Company is the Chief Executive Officer and a
general partner of the seller. In 1996, the Company paid the seller
approximately $3,700 in royalty fees in accordance with this agreement.
 
8. LEASES
 
     The Company leases certain revenue earning vehicles and facilities under
leases that expire at various dates through May 2014. Generally, the facility
leases are subject to payment increases based on cost of living indices and
require the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other
operating expenses. Certain facility leases require the Company to pay fixed
amounts plus contingent rentals based on gross rental revenues, as defined, and
gasoline sales.

</TABLE>
 
     Concurrent with the Share Exchange in 1994, the nontaxable status of the
commonly owned companies was terminated and a deferred tax liability of
approximately $1,169 was recorded with a corresponding charge to the accumulated
deficit.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries have federal tax
loss carryforwards of approximately $43,360 expiring between December 2005 and
December 2011. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for a portion of
the acquired net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of their
ultimate realization. Any subsequently recognized tax benefits attributed to the
change in the valuation allowance will reduce franchise rights. The increase in
the valuation allowance during 1996 resulted from an increase related to net
operating loss carryforwards and uncertainty regarding their ultimate
realization.
 
     The Internal Revenue Code places limitations on the utilization of net
operating losses and similar tax attributes by a corporation in the event of a
stock ownership change aggregating more than 50% over a specified time period.
Net operating loss carryforwards in existence when ownership changes occur are
subject to an annual utilization limitation that may restrict the future
utilization of the net operating losses. Similarly, utilization of losses
generated during years when separate returns have been filed may be limited in
the future. Such limitations have been considered in the determination of
deferred income taxes.

10. BENEFIT PLANS
 
  Stock Options
 
     On April 25, 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "ISO Plan") and the 1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors'
Plan"). The Company accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25 under
which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost been
determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and EPS would
have been reduced to the following unaudited pro forma amounts:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                                        FOR THE YEAR ENDED

                                                                        -------    -------

</TABLE>
 
     Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has only been applied to
options granted in 1995 and 1996, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
 
     The ISO Plan provides for the issuance of up to 760,000 shares of Class A
or Class B common stock to key employees. The ISO Plan stock options may be
either incentive stock options or nonqualified options and expire ten years
after the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not
be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares at the date of
grant. The exercise price for nonqualified options may not be less than 85% of
the fair market value of the underlying shares or, if greater, the book value of
the underlying shares at the date of grant.
 
     The Directors' Plan provides for the issuance of shares of Class A common
stock to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company. The
Directors' Plan stock options are nonqualified, vest six months following the
date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The exercise price
of the nonqualified options under the Directors' Plan is the fair market value
of the underlying shares at the date of grant.
 
     A summary of the status of the Company's two stock option plans at December
31, 1995 and 1996, and activity during the years then ended is presented in the

these options are exercisable. The remaining 687,350 options have exercise
prices between $9.50 and $17.50, with a weighted average exercise price of
$11.14 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.0 years. Of these
options, 185,200 are exercisable; their weighted average exercise price is
$9.50.
 
     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For options granted under the ISO Plan,
a risk-free rate of return of 6.21% and an expected life of three years were
assumed. For options granted under the Directors' Plan, a risk free rate of
return of 6.49% and an expected life of seven years were assumed. Additionally,
for each option plan there was no expected dividend yield and an expected
volatility of 60%.
 
  Profit Sharing Plan
 
     The Company adopted a Profit Sharing Plan with a 401(k) arrangement under
the Internal Revenue Code effective January 1, 1996. Employees are eligible to
participate after completing one year of service and attaining age 21.
Participants may contribute 1%-15% of their gross compensation. The Company may
make discretionary contributions not to exceed 15% of the total plan
compensation. During 1996, the Company made discretionary contributions of
approximately $146.5 to the Profit Sharing Plan.
 
11. COMMON STOCK WARRANT
 
     Concurrently with the Freedom River acquisition and in consideration of the
abatement of certain future royalty fees to BRACC with respect to Freedom
River's Philadelphia vehicle rental operation and other consideration received
from BRACC, the Company issued a warrant to BRACC (the "Common Stock Warrant")
to purchase 175,000 shares of Class A common stock at the initial public
offering price. The warrant became exercisable on August 24, 1996, and expires
on August 24, 1999. Subsequent to August 24, 1998, and prior to August 24, 1999,
BRACC will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase the Common Stock
Warrant for $2,000. The Company has reserved Class A common stock for the Common
Stock Warrant.
 
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Franchise Agreements
 
     The Company has various franchise agreements with BRACC which require the
payment of monthly royalty fees. These fees vary from a flat fee of $13.25 per
car to 7.5% of gross rental revenues, as defined in the franchise agreements.
The above franchise agreements are renewable for an unlimited number of
five-year periods, subject to certain terms and conditions.
 
     Concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company purchased for
$1,750 the direct franchise rights for Budget Rent a Truck facilities to operate
in certain geographic locations in San Diego County and Imperial County,
California. This reduced substantially all truck rental royalty fees to 5% of
gross rental revenues, as defined. Prior to the purchase of the direct franchise
rights, the Company paid royalty fees of 12% of gross rental revenue.

     The Company also participates in a "One-Way" truck rental program in San
Diego County and Imperial County, California sponsored by BRACC whereby trucks
owned by BRACC are stationed at the Company's facilities for one-way rental by
outside parties. The Company retains fees for Budget "One Way" truck rental
revenue of 20%. Revenues from the "One-Way" truck rental program for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were $558, $1,027, and $1,451,
respectively.
 
  Sublicense Agreements
 
     The Company has sublicense agreements with Budget of Southern California
which entitles the Company to operate Budget Car Rental facilities in Southern
California. Sublicense fees to Budget of Southern California range from 5% to
6.5% of gross revenues as defined in the sublicense agreements.
 
     The Company also has a sublicense agreement with Transportation Storage
Associates ("TSA") for the right to rent trucks in and around Los Angeles
County. Fees to TSA are 12% of gross revenues as defined in the sublicense
agreement.
 
     Royalty and sublicense fees expensed by the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were $2,348, $5,715 and $9,598, respectively.
Budget reservation fees expensed by the Company for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1995 and 1996 were $1,574, $3,904 and $6,375, respectively.
 
  Regulatory and Environmental Matters
 
     The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations that affect its operations, including those relating to the sale of
loss damage waivers, vicarious liability of vehicle owners, consumer protection,
advertising, used vehicle sales, the taxing and licensing of vehicles,
franchising operations and sales, and environmental protection and clean-up.
 
     The Company maintains an environmental compliance program designed to
maintain compliance with applicable technical and operational requirements,
including periodic integrity testing of underground storage tanks and providing
financial assurance for remediation of spills or releases. The Company believes
that its operations currently are in compliance, in all material respects, with
such regulatory requirements. However, there are several technical
specifications regarding underground storage tanks applicable to the Company's
facilities, many of which will become effective in 1998. Although the exact cost
of complying with those requirements has not been estimated, such expenditures
could, in the aggregate, be significant.
 
  Litigation
 
     The Company has contingencies with respect to litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will
not result in any loss which would materially affect the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
 
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value
amounts are determined by the Company, using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required
in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amount.

       FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
              (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Receivables and Accounts Payable
 
     The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities at December
31, 1995 and 1996, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
 
  Notes Payable
 
     The carrying amount of a portion of the Company's notes payable
approximates fair value at December 31, 1995 and 1996, since the debt is at
floating interest rates. The carrying amount of the Company's fixed-rate notes
payable approximates fair value at December 31, 1996, due to the recent issuance
of such debt.
 
  Common Stock Warrant
 
     The estimated fair value is based on a pricing model which considers stock
volatility and the put feature of the Common Stock Warrant. The estimated fair
value was $1,750 at December 31, 1996.
 
14. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES
 
     In 1996, the Company issued approximately 272,727 shares of Class A common
stock with a value of $2,727 and notes payable of $10,000 for the 1996
acquisitions. The Company issued approximately 1,220,816 shares of Class A
common stock with a value of $12,837 and notes payable of $650 for the 1995
acquisitions.
 
     In 1994, $525 of revenue earning vehicles and property and equipment were
financed through capital leases. The terms of a capital lease with certain
stockholders and a director were modified and, therefore, the capital lease
asset and obligation of $536 were eliminated. The net book value of the facility
lease and capital lease obligation of $536 was deducted from proceeds from the
sale of property and equipment and principal payments of capital lease
obligations, respectively. The Company also issued $200 of Class A common stock
to acquire the Fort Wayne franchise. In addition, property and equipment of
$4,441 were acquired and notes payable of $4,016 were assumed in connection with
the Freedom River acquisition.
 
     In 1994, the Company recorded prepaid royalty fees and the Common Stock
Warrant of $2,000 for the abatement of certain fees (see Note 11).
 
     The Company paid interest of $4,091, $13,764 and $26,955 in 1994, 1995 and
1996, respectively.
 
     Income taxes of $182, $346 and $1,017 were paid in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On January 13, 1997, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements
(the "Stock Purchase Agreements") with Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), BRACC and
the other stockholder of BRACC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire
the capital stock of BRACC. The total amount of funds required by the Company to
consummate this acquisition (the "Budget Acquisition") is expected to be
approximately $275,000, which the Company intends to finance through the sale of
additional shares of Class A common stock and the issuance of senior and
convertible debt. The Company will also issue to Ford 4,500 shares of a new
series of non-voting preferred stock, which does not carry a dividend and will
be convertible into 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to
adjustment in certain cases. Concurrent with the Budget Acquisition, the Company
will be required to refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of BRACC under
its existing fleet financing facilities with an aggregate principal balance of
$714,104 at December 31, 1996.
 
     In connection with the financing of the Budget Acquisition, the Company may
extend the maturity of the Convertible Subordinated Notes (see Note 6) to 2007.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Budget Rent a Car Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Budget Rent
a Car Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Budget Rent
a Car Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                 BUDGET RENT A CAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  General
 
     On March 30, 1989, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, as amended,
Budget Rent a Car Corporation (the Company) became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Beech Holdings Corp. (Holdings). Effective December 31, 1995, Holdings was
merged with and into the Company (the Merger). All shares of Holdings stock
outstanding prior to the Merger were retired and new shares of Company stock,
with rights and preferences similar to the retired Holdings shares, were issued
to the stockholders of Holdings. The accompanying financial statements are
presented as if the Merger had taken place on January 1, 1994. The most
significant impact of the Merger on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company was to increase intangible assets (and amortization expense) and to
increase stockholders' equity.
 
     On July 16, 1996, pursuant to a Recapitalization Plan approved by the
Company's Board of Directors and stockholders, the Company exchanged all
previously issued and outstanding shares of Preferred A and Preferred B stock
for 5,006.46 shares of a new series (Series X) of mandatory redeemable preferred
stock. As a result of the exchange, additional paid-in capital increased
$563,994, while Series B preferred stock, at stated value, decreased $309,000
and mandatory redeemable preferred stock (Series A) was reduced by $260,000. See
note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
  Description of Business
 
     The Company is engaged in the business of vehicle rental through both owned
and franchised operations. Company owned vehicle rental operations are located
primarily throughout the United States and Western Europe. The largest
concentration (approximately 25%) of vehicle rental assets is located in the
highly competitive Florida market. Franchised vehicle operations are located
worldwide. Customers are mainly business and leisure travelers. No customer
accounts for more than 10% of the Company's revenues.
 
  Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations
of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in
less than majority-owned entities are accounted for using the equity method,
under which the Company's share of operating results are reflected in income as
earned and dividends are credited against the investment when received.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less.
 
  Computer Software Systems
 
     License fees related to the Company's purchased reservation system and
associated applications and databases are capitalized and amortized over ten
years. Costs associated with the internal development of other computer software
systems and system enhancements are capitalized and amortized over three years.
 
  Intangibles, Including Goodwill
 
     Costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired as a result of the
acquisition of the Company and in conjunction with acquisitions of franchise
vehicle rental operations are capitalized and amortized over 40 years on the
straight-line method.

                 BUDGET RENT A CAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through
projected undiscounted future operating cash flows. Although no impairment is
indicated at December 31, 1996, the assessment of recoverability will be
impacted if estimated projected undiscounted operating cash flows are not
achieved.
 
  Other Revenues
 
     Other revenues largely consist of income before interest and taxes for
insurance and credit card processing operations, the Company's share of
operating results of equity investees and revenues generated from miscellaneous
services provided to the Company's franchisees.
 
  Vehicle Dispositions
 
     Repurchase programs with vehicle manufacturers require the manufacturers to
repurchase the vehicles after varying time frames at agreed upon prices (subject
to defined condition and mileage standards). Vehicles subject to these programs
are capitalized and depreciated such that no gain or loss is realized upon
disposition.
 
     Gains or losses realized on vehicles sold through the wholesale market are
recorded as adjustments to depreciation expense.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization
 
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives range from 25 years
for buildings to three to seven years for furniture and equipment. Costs of
leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the
shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets.
Vehicles are depreciated at rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.5% per month, depending
on vehicle type.
 
  Advertising, Promotion and Selling
 
     Advertising, promotion and selling costs are expensed as incurred. The
Company incurred advertising expenses of $33,326, $38,552 and $31,201 in 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  Environmental Costs
 
     Environmental remediation costs are recorded in accrued expenses based on
estimates of known environmental remediation exposures when it becomes probable
that a liability has been incurred. Environmental exposures are largely related
to underground storage tanks.
 
     Expenditures are expected to be made over the next three years. A
receivable is recorded for amounts recoverable from third-parties when
collection becomes probable.
 
  Self-insurance Liability
 
     The Company is self-insured with respect to personal and property liability
claims up to specified limits. Third-party insurance is maintained for claims in
excess of the limits. A liability is recorded for known claims and for incurred
but not reported incidents based on actuarially computed estimates of expected
loss. The liability recorded as a result of these actuarially computed estimates
may experience material changes from year to year as incurred but not reported
incidents become known and known claims are settled.
 
     The Company maintains unused letters of credit amounting to $122,324 and
$89,272 at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, largely in support of its
insurance liability in certain states and supporting the reimbursement of claims
paid by third-party claims administrators.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Deferred taxes are recognized to the extent they are expected to be payable
upon distribution of earnings of foreign and unconsolidated subsidiaries. The
Company uses a September 30 fiscal year for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
 
     The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect
when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the net deferred tax assets and
liabilities. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period
that includes the enactment date.
 
  Translation of Foreign Financial Statements
 
     The financial statements of the Company's foreign affiliates have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52. Accordingly, assets
and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of
exchange, with any resultant translation adjustments reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Income statement accounts are translated at
average exchange rates for the period and gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions are included in net income.
 
  Derivatives
 
     Premiums paid for purchased interest rate cap agreements are amortized to
interest expense over the terms of the cap. Unamortized premiums are included in
prepaid expenses in the balance sheet. Accounts receivable under cap agreements
are accrued with a corresponding reduction of interest expense.
 
     Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts and futures related to
qualifying hedges of firm commitments or anticipated transactions are deferred
and are recognized in income when the hedged transaction occurs. The Company
does not engage in speculative derivatives.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Changes in Accounting Estimates
 
     During 1994, 1995 and 1996 the Company recorded adjustments related to
prior year actuarial estimates of its self-insurance liability. The effect of
these adjustments was to increase income before taxes by approximately $8,000 in
1994, to decrease income before taxes by approximately $15,000 in 1995 and to
increase income before taxes by approximately $19,000 in 1996.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts in the 1994 and 1995 consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
 
(2) VEHICLES, AT COST
 
     Vehicles, at cost largely represent revenue earning cars and trucks. At
December 31, 1995 and 1996 the net book value of vehicles subject to repurchase
programs was approximately $1,077,000 and $940,047, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
(3) REORGANIZATION AND CENTRALIZATION
 
     The accompanying financial statements for 1995 include charges and accruals
of approximately $14,600 ($9,300 in personnel expense and $5,300 in general and
administrative expense) related to a reorganization and centralization primarily
of the finance and administrative functions of the Company (the
"Reorganization"). In conjunction with the Reorganization, approximately 450
employees were identified for termination, primarily in finance and operations
management. As of December 31, 1996, all affected employees have been terminated
or accepted other open positions.
 
     At December 31, 1996, the remaining accruals relating to the Reorganization
totaled approximately $2,300. During 1996, amounts paid and non-cash accrual
reductions totaled approximately $11,000 and $1,300, respectively.
 
(4) OTHER ASSETS
 
     Other assets include purchased software and capitalized software systems
development costs, net of accumulated amortization, which amount to
approximately $65,351 and $53,101 at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
In addition, other assets includes the Company's 50% investment in Compass
Computer Services, Inc. (Compass) and a 20% investment in a foreign rental
operation. Compass provides, among other services, reservation data processing.
 
     The Company received dividends from Compass of $850, $150 and $8,088 during
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In 1996, $5,000 of the dividends represents
the fair value of property and equipment received. The combined revenues of the
Company's investees during 1994, 1995 and 1996 amount to less than 10% of
consolidated revenues. At December 31, 1996, the amount of undistributed
earnings of Compass included in consolidated accumulated deficit is not
significant.

     Fleet lender revolving notes:  The fleet lender revolving notes are secured
by the applicable vehicles and vehicle program receivables. The notes bear
interest at rates that vary with commercial paper rates or the prime rate. The
Company makes monthly principal payments based on depreciation of the related
vehicles adjusted for net additions or disposals. It is the Company's intention
and ability to renew the fleet lender revolving notes or to obtain financing
under similar terms when the present agreements expire. At December 31, 1995 and
1996, $593,937 and $426,370, respectively, are due to Ford.

     Commercial paper payable:  The commercial paper payable (the "paper") is
secured by the applicable vehicles and vehicle program receivables. Under
limited circumstances the paper may be repaid by draws under a related, bank
provided liquidity facility ($725,000) or a related letter of credit ($120,000).
The paper is issued periodically with maturities up to 90 days. It is the
Company's intention and ability to renew the liquidity facility and letter of
credit or to obtain financing under similar terms when the present agreements
expire in July 1997 and July 1998, respectively.
 
     Vehicle lender term notes:  The vehicle lender term notes (the "notes") are

limited circumstances the notes may be repaid by draws under a related letter of
credit ($25,000).
 
     Revolving credit facility:  The revolving credit facility, which provides
funding of working capital, bears interest at rates that vary with commercial
paper rates and is due to Ford. The unused and available commitment of the
credit facility was $57,282 and $106,782 at December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.
 
     Foreign notes:  The foreign notes primarily provide financing for vehicle
purchases and the funding of working capital. At December 31, 1995 and 1996,
approximately $53,917 and $67,733, respectively, relate to vehicle debt while
$4,976 and $3,943, respectively, relate to the funding of working capital and

     Interest payments amounted to $105,214, ($63,038 to Ford) $149,219 ($83,627
to Ford) and $124,483 ($74,815 to Ford) in the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively. In 1995 the Company capitalized $1,233 of interest
costs incurred.
 
(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Interest Rate Caps:  The Company enters into interest rate cap agreements
to limit its exposure to increases in interest rates. Under these agreements,
the Company will receive payment in the event that 30 day commercial paper rates
exceed levels varying from 5.00% to 5.75%.

                 BUDGET RENT A CAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Company had interest rate cap agreements outstanding in the notional
amount of $500,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In 1996, fees of
approximately $3,600 have been paid to the counterparties (major banks) and are
amortized on the straight-line method to interest expense over the protection
period (through December 1997). At December 31, 1995 and 1996, the unamortized
fees amounted to approximately $3,390 and $3,600, respectively.
 
     The Company is exposed to credit-related loss, to the extent of the fair
value of the contracts, in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to
the agreements, but believes this risk to be minimal given the high credit
ratings of the counterparties.
 
     Foreign exchange contracts:  The Company employs forward foreign exchange
contracts to limit its exposure to currency fluctuations on certain intercompany
loans between foreign operations. Under these agreements, the Company is
obligated to sell foreign currencies (primarily European) in exchange for
British Sterling or U.S. dollars at dates several months into the future. These
contracts are subject to the creditworthiness of the counterparties (large
banks), but the Company believes this risk to be minimal given the high credit
ratings of the counterparties. At December 31, 1995, no foreign exchange
contracts were outstanding. At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately
$7,254 in forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding and had deferred
expenses of approximately $77.
 
(7) PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
 
     Substantially all employees of the United Kingdom and certain employees in
the U.S. are covered under noncontributory pension plans. Plan benefits are
based on final average compensation. The Company's funding policy for the
domestic pension plan is to contribute the minimum ERISA contribution required
under the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. Effective December 31,
1991, the Company suspended its domestic defined benefit pension plan. As a
result of this suspension, employees will earn no additional benefits under the
plan. The domestic plan is supplemented by an unfunded, nonqualified plan
providing benefits (as computed under the benefit formula) in excess of limits
imposed by Federal tax law. The cost of the supplemental plan was approximately
$1,009, $1,053 and $1,005 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
     Effective August 1996 the Company established an unfunded, nonqualified
plan providing benefits to its officers, (the Executive Protection Plan) based
on a percentage of final compensation. The cost of the Executive Protection Plan
was approximately $87 in 1996.
 
     The Company also maintains a Savings Plus Plan. Under this plan, an
eligible employee of the Company, or its participating subsidiaries, who has
completed one year of continuous service and enrolls in the plan may elect to
defer from 1% to 15% of specified compensation under a "cash or deferred
arrangement" under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to
certain limitations. The Company contributes varying amounts (25% to 75%) on the
first 6% of each participating employees eligible salary deferrals to various
funds established by the plan. The cost of the plan was approximately $2,436,
$2,657 and $2,332 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
     The Company maintains a defined contribution benefit plan covering all
employees eligible under the Savings Plus Plan. The amount of funds contributed
to the plan each year, if any, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors,
based on a percentage of an employee's total cash compensation. The cost of the
plan was approximately $5,368, $3,096 and $2,761 in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation for 1995 and 1996 was 6.8% and
7.1%, respectively. No compensation increase has been assumed as no additional
benefits will be earned under the domestic plans. The assumed compensation
increase under the Executive Protection Plan and foreign plan was 5% and 4%,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for 1995 and
1996 was 10% and 9.5%, respectively.
 
     The Company has recognized additional liabilities related to each of its
domestic plans as the unfunded liability recognized as accrued pension cost is
less than the actuarially determined accumulated benefit obligation. The
additional liability is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as follow
at December 31:

     At December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of $207,222 which are available to offset future
federal taxable income through 2011. The Company's business tax credit
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes are available to reduce future
federal income taxes through 2011 and the Company's alternative minimum tax
credit carryforwards are available to reduce future federal regular income
taxes, if any, over an indefinite period. The foreign tax credits, available to
reduce future federal income taxes, if any, expire from 1997 through 2001.
During the year, as a result of the Recapitalization Plan, the Company
experienced a change of ownership for income tax purposes which may limit the
availability of the above carryover in future years.
 
     Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1996 will be allocated as follows:

(9) LITIGATION
 
     The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit (in which it filed counter claims)
that sought unspecified damages for alleged breach of contract related to its
interest in the INTRICO Partnership (a joint venture partnership, which was
created to develop a new state of the art hotel and vehicle rental reservation
system). In January 1994 the Company reached a settlement in this matter.
Amounts received in the settlement were sufficient to reimburse the Company for
its investment in the partnership, capitalized expenditures and capitalized
interest and had no other material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial condition.

     Other litigation arising in the normal course of business is pending
against the Company. Management believes that the Company has meritorious
defenses to all significant litigation and that the ultimate outcome of the
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

     Several of the Company's leases include renewal options for varying
periods.
 
(11) MANDATORY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Series X preferred stock (Series X): The Series X is entitled to cumulative
dividends, payable quarterly, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at
an annual rate of 7.5% of its stated value. The Series X is subject to mandatory
redemption in March 2004 at its then liquidation value (stated value plus any
unpaid accumulated dividends). The Series X ranks prior to all other equity
securities of the Company with respect to dividends rights and rights upon
liquidation.
 
     The Series X stockholders may vote only with respect to matters which would
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares
including authorization to issue any stock ranking equal or prior to the Series
X. A majority of Series X shares are required to approve any matters brought to
a vote.
 
     Series A preferred stock (Series A): The Series A is entitled to cumulative
dividends, payable quarterly, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at
an annual rate of 10% of its stated value. The Series A is subject to mandatory
redemption in March 2004 at its then liquidation value (stated value plus any
unpaid accumulated dividends). The Series A ranks prior to all other equity
securities of the Company other than Series X with respect to dividend rights
and rights upon liquidation.

     The Series A stockholders may vote only with respect to matters which would
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares
including authorization to issue any stock ranking equal or prior to the Series
A. A majority of Series A shares are required to approve any matters brought to
a vote. The affirmative vote of the original purchaser is required to approve
these matters as long as the original purchaser owns shares of Series A and
Series B preferred stock which collectively have an aggregate stated value of at
least $1,000.
 
(12) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     Series B preferred stock (Series B): The Series B is entitled to cumulative
dividends, payable quarterly, when and if declared by the Board of Directors,
equal to 100% of earnings, after deduction of dividends on the Series A, up to a
maximum annual dividend of $25,000. The Series B ranks prior to the common stock
with respect to rights upon liquidation.
 
     The Series B stockholders may vote only with respect to matters which would
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares
including authorization to issue any stock ranking equal or prior to the Series
B. A majority of Series B shares is required to approve any matters brought to a
vote.
 
(13) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     The Company has recorded amounts which, in management's best estimate, will
be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known remediation requirements. At
December 31, 1996 the Company has accrued $3,400 for estimated environmental
remediation costs and expects to expend approximately $1,900 during 1997.
Amounts receivable from third parties for reimbursement of remediation
expenditures is not significant.
 
     Due to factors such as continuing changes in environmental laws and
regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the
identification of presently unknown remediation sites and changes in the extent
of expected remediation efforts, estimated costs for future environmental
compliance and remediation are subject to uncertainty and it is difficult to
predict the amount or timing of future remediation requirements. The Company
does not expect such future costs to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
(14) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Prior to the Recapitalization Plan, Ford Motor Company (Ford) and its
affiliates held all of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company and hold a
minimal amount of Series X at December 31, 1996. Ford and the Company are
parties to a vehicle supply agreement, effective through August 1998, pursuant
to which owned locations are to acquire at least 70% of their annual vehicle
purchases from Ford. The agreement provides that Ford vehicles will be
competitive with vehicles of other manufacturers in terms of price and other
factors. A related agreement between Ford and the Company, effective through
August 2007, provides for certain incentives to be paid by Ford to the Company
dependent on the attainment of certain volume purchase requirements. Ford
represents the Company's largest debtor and creditor at December 31, 1995 and
1996.
 
(15) DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued
expenses:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity
of these instruments.
 
     Notes payable:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value as a majority
of the obligations incur interest at a floating, market rate that is reset
monthly. In addition, the significant terms of fixed rate obligations do not
differ materially from those currently available to the Company.
 
     Interest rate cap agreements:  As described in note 6 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company has recorded $3,600 in capitalized fees
related to various interest rate cap agreements. The fair value of these

The 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of Team Rental Group, Inc. ("TEAM")
offered hereby are being sold by TEAM in connection with the acquisition by TEAM
   of all the outstanding capital stock of Budget Rent a Car Corporation (the
"Budget Acquisition"). The net proceeds of the Offering, together with a portion
   of the net proceeds of concurrent financing transactions, will be used to
                        finance the Budget Acquisition.
Of the 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being offered, 1,500,000 shares
  (the "International Shares") are initially being offered outside the United
 States and Canada by the Managers (the "International Offering") and 6,000,000
   shares (the "U.S. Shares") are initially being concurrently offered in the
  United States and Canada by the U.S. Underwriters (the "U.S. Offering" and,
 together with the International Offering, the "Offering"). The offering price
and underwriting discounts and commissions of the International Offering and the
                          U.S. Offering are identical.
 
The Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under
the symbol "BD." On April 23, 1997, the last reported sale price of the Class A
Common Stock on the NYSE was $21.875 per share. See "Price Range of Common 
Stock."

 TEAM has two classes of Common Stock, the Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and the Class B Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"). Holders of the Class A Common Stock
 are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Class B Common Stock are
entitled to ten votes per share. Upon completion of the Offering, the principal
  executive officers of TEAM will retain 53.8% of the combined voting power of
          both classes of Common Stock. See "Principal Stockholders."
TEAM has arranged to place, concurrently with the consummation of the Offering,
  (i) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.85% Convertible Subordinated
 Notes, Series B, due 2007 and (ii) $165,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
 9.57% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Debt Placements").
 The Debt Placements are private offerings and will not be registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. TEAM is also concurrently entering into new
  credit facilities for fleet financings (the "New Fleet Financings") with an
 aggregate commitment of $1.4 billion. Consummation of the Offering will occur
     concurrently with, and is conditioned upon, consummation of the Budget
         Acquisition, the Debt Placements and the New Fleet Financings.
FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH
AN INVESTMENT IN THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK, SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE

Preferred Stock or (ii) the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock equal to the product of (x) 0.001 multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained
by dividing (A) $75,000,000 by (B) the average of the closing prices of the
Class A Common Stock for each of the ten consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the second trading day prior to the closing of the Budget Acquisition.
Unless the closing price of the Class A Common Stock averages $16.67 or less
over a period of ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the second
trading day prior to the closing of the Budget Acquisition, the Company will
issue to Ford 4,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and this
number of shares will not be subject to any adjustment. Among other agreements,
TEAM has granted Ford certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights for the
4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment) issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. See "The Budget
Acquisition -- Terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements -- Consideration." TEAM
has also agreed to file a shelf registration statement relating to the 3,986,049
shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
Series A Convertible Notes, and TEAM will enter into a similar agreement with
respect to the 1,609,442 shares of Class A Common Stock that will be issuable
upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Notes. TEAM's directors and
executive officers, who in the aggregate beneficially own 2,824,305 shares of
Common Stock, have agreed that for a period of 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus, and TEAM has agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus, they will not sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common
Stock without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation. See "Subscription and Sale." Significant sales of the Class A
Common Stock in the public market following the Offering could adversely affect
prevailing market prices. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
VOTING CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
     TEAM has two classes of Common Stock: Class A Common Stock, which is
entitled to one vote per share, and Class B Common Stock, which is entitled to
ten votes per share. Messrs. Miller, Kennedy and Congdon own all of the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, which, following the Offering,
together with the Class A Common Stock owned by such individuals, will represent
approximately 53.8% of the combined voting power of both classes of Common
Stock. As a result, following the Budget Acquisition and prior to the conversion
of the Convertible Subordinated Notes or the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock such officers will continue to be able to elect all of Budget Group's
Board of Directors, thereby ensuring that members elected by them will continue
to direct the business, policies and management of Budget Group. See "Principal
Stockholders."
 
POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CHARTER AND BYLAW PROVISIONS; POSSIBLE
ISSUANCES OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Certain provisions of Delaware law, TEAM's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (in particular, the voting rights of the Class B Common Stock)
and TEAM's Bylaws could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and
could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a
third party from attempting to acquire, control of Budget Group. Such provisions
could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of the Class A Common Stock. In addition, shares of preferred
stock may be issued by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval on
such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and preferences,
as the Board of Directors may determine. The rights of the holders of the Class
A Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Budget
Group has no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock, other than
the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued to Ford in
connection with the Budget Acquisition. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Preferred Stock" and "Description of Capital Stock -- Section 203."

effective April 30, 1997) one year after the issuance of those shares in the
Budget Acquisition. TEAM's directors and executive officers, who in the
aggregate beneficially own 2,824,305 shares of Common Stock, have agreed that
they will not sell, contract or offer to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of TEAM for a period of 90 days from
the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse
First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the Underwriters. See "Subscription and
Sale." After such date, certain of these stockholders have the right to demand
that TEAM register their shares under the Securities Act in accordance with
agreements between such holders and TEAM and may be able to dispose of their
shares in a registered public offering effected thereunder. In addition, certain
stockholders, the holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes and the holders
of stock purchase warrants possess certain demand and/or "piggyback"
registration rights. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights"
and "Management -- Benefit Plans."
 
     TEAM has reserved 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the
1994 Option Plan (which may be either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock) and 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the 1994
Directors' Plan. There are 729,850 stock options currently issued and
outstanding under the 1994 Option Plan (of which 164,000 are options to purchase
Class B Common Stock) and 70,000 stock options issued and outstanding under the
1994 Directors' Plan. TEAM filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act to register 760,000 shares of the Common Stock issuable under the
1994 Option Plan and 25,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the
1994 Directors' Plan. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options after the
effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement became eligible for resale
in the public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations
applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements applicable to certain shares
and options. TEAM expects to file a Form S-8 Registration Statement with respect
to the remaining 990,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the 1994 Option
Plan and 125,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the 1994
Directors' Plan. TEAM has further reserved 362,500 shares of Class A Common
Stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock purchase warrants.

     The Subscription Agreement provides that the obligations of the Managers
are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Managers will be
obligated to purchase all the International Shares (other than those
International Shares covered by the over-allotment option described below) if
any are purchased. The Subscription Agreement provides that, in the event of a
default by a Manager, in certain circumstances, the purchase commitments of
non-defaulting Managers may be increased or the Subscription Agreement may be
terminated.
 
     TEAM has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") with the U.S. Underwriters of the U.S. Offering (the "U.S.
Underwriters") providing for the concurrent offer and sale of the U.S. Shares in
the United States and Canada. The closing of the International Offering is a
condition to the closing of the U.S. Offering and vice versa.
 
     TEAM has granted to the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters an option
exercisable by Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, expiring at the close of
business on the 30th day after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
1,125,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock at the public offering price
less underwriting discounts and commissions, all as set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus. Such option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments,
if any, in the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock. To the extent such
option is exercised, each Manager and each U.S. Underwriter will become
obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same
percentage of additional shares being sold to the Managers and the U.S.
Underwriters as the number of International Shares set forth next to such
Manager's name in the preceding table and as the number set forth next to such
U.S. Underwriters's name in the corresponding table in the Prospectus relating
to the U.S. Offering bears to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock
in such tables.
 
     TEAM has been advised by Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, on
behalf of the Managers, that the Managers propose to offer the International
Shares outside the United States and Canada to the public initially at the
public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and,
through the Managers, to certain dealers at such price less a commission of
$0.65 per share and that the Managers may reallow a commission of $0.10 per
share on sales to certain other dealers. After the public offering, the public
offering price, commission and reallowance may be changed.

     The public offering price, the aggregate underwriting discounts and
commissions per share and the per share commission and re-allowance to dealers
for the International Offering and the concurrent U.S. Offering are identical.
Pursuant to an Agreement between the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers (the
"Intersyndicate Agreement") relating to the Offering, changes in the public
offering price, the aggregate underwriting discounts and commissions per share
and the per share concession and re-allowance to dealers will be made only upon
the mutual agreement of Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, on behalf
of the Managers, and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the
U.S. Underwriters.
 
     Pursuant to the Intersyndicate Agreement, each of the Managers has agreed
that, as part of the distribution of the International Shares and subject to
certain exceptions, it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell,
directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or distribute any
prospectus relating to the Class A Common Stock in the United States or Canada
or to any other dealer who does not so agree. Each of the U.S. Underwriters has
agreed that, as part of the distribution of the U.S. Shares and subject to
certain exceptions, it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell,
directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or distribute any
prospectus relating to the Class A Common Stock to any person outside the United
States or Canada or to any other dealer who does not so agree. The foregoing
limitations do not apply to stabilization transactions or to transactions
between the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters pursuant to the Intersyndicate
Agreement. As used herein, "United States" means the United States of America
(including the States and the District of Columbia), its territories,
possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction. "Canada" means Canada,
its provinces, territories, possessions and other areas subject to its
jurisdiction, and an offer or sale shall be in the United States or Canada if it
is made to (i) an individual resident in the United States or Canada or (ii) a
corporation, partnership, pension, profit-sharing or other trust or other entity
(including any such entity acting as an investment adviser with discretionary
authority) whose office most directly involved with the purchase is located in
the United States or Canada.
 
     Pursuant to the Intersyndicate Agreement, sales may be made between the
Managers and the U.S. Underwriters of such number of shares of Class A Common
Stock as may be mutually agreed. The price of any shares so sold shall be the
public offering price, less such amount as may be mutually agreed upon by Credit
Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, on behalf of the Managers, and Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, on behalf of the U.S. Underwriters, but not
exceeding the selling concession applicable to such shares. To the extent there
are sales between the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters pursuant to the
Intersyndicate Agreement, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially
available for sale by the Managers or by the U.S. Underwriters may be more or
less than the amount appearing on the cover page of this Prospectus. Neither the
Managers nor the U.S. Underwriters are obligated to purchase from the other any
unsold shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
     Each of the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters severally represents and
agrees that (i) it has not offered or sold, and prior to the date six months
after the date of issuance of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby will not
offer or sell, any shares of Class A Common Stock to persons in the United
Kingdom, except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring,
holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the
purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not
resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom
within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it
has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial
Services Act of 1986 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
Class A Common Stock in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and
(iii) it has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the
United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issuance of
the Class A Common Stock to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3)
of the Financial Services Act of 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions)
Order 1996 or is a person to whom such document may otherwise lawfully be issued
or passed on.
 
     Purchasers of shares of Class A Common Stock outside the United States may
be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and
practices of the country of purchase in addition to the public offering price
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus.

     TEAM and its officers and directors and certain other holders of Class A
Common Stock have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of TEAM,
file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act
relating to any additional shares of TEAM's Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of TEAM's Common
Stock, or disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposal
or filing, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation, in the case of the Company's officers and directors and such other
holders, for a period of 90 days and, in the case of TEAM, for a period of 180
days, after the date of this Prospectus, except issuances pursuant to the
exercise of stock options granted under the 1994 Option Plan.
 
     TEAM has agreed to indemnify the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments which the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
     Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation has acted as placement agent in
connection with each of the Fleet Financing Facilities, the offering of the
Series A Convertible Notes and the Debt Placements, and as underwriter for
TEAM's initial public offering and its public offering in July 1996. In
addition, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation acted as placement agent for a
fleet financing by SoCal shortly before it was acquired by TEAM. Credit Suisse
First Boston Corporation is acting as financial advisor to TEAM in connection
with the Budget Acquisition. Credit Suisse First Boston, a Swiss Bank and an
affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, is the agent for the New
Working Capital Facility.
 
     The Representatives, on behalf of the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters,
may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering
transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Over-allotment involves
syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short
position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Class A Common Stock in
the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover
syndicate short positions. In "passive" market making, market makers in the
Class A Common Stock who are Managers or U.S. Underwriters or prospective
underwriters may, subject to certain limitations, make bids for or purchases of
the Class A Common Stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is
made. Penalty bids permit the Representatives to reclaim a selling concession
from a syndicate member when the shares of Class A Common Stock originally sold
by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to
cover syndicate short positions. Such stabilizing transactions, syndicate
covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the Class A Common
Stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such
transactions. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or otherwise and,
if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

     The validity of the shares of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby will

Underwriters and the Managers have been represented by Cravath, Swaine & Moore,

     The consolidated financial statements of Team Rental Group, Inc. as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in this Prospectus and elsewhere
in the Registration Statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent certified public accountants, as indicated in their report with
respect thereto and are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said
firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said report.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of Team Rental Group, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1995 included in this Prospectus and the related financial statement schedules
included elsewhere in the Registration Statement have been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP ("D&T"), independent auditors, as stated in their reports appearing
herein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement and are included in reliance
upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in
accounting and auditing.
 
     The consolidated financial statements of BRACC as of December 31, 1995 and
1996 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 have
been included in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere
herein and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
 
     On November 26, 1996, TEAM appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent
accounting firm for the remainder of 1996. TEAM's Audit Committee recommended
the appointment, which was approved by the Board of Directors. Concurrently, the
Board of Directors elected to dismiss D&T, TEAM's former independent accounting
firm. The report of D&T on TEAM's financial statements for the two years ended
December 31, 1995 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. Since TEAM's inception, D&T's reports on TEAM's financial statements
have not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the
opinions qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, nor were there any events of the type requiring disclosure under
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
 
     With regard to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, TEAM has previously
reported the following: (i) On February 2, 1996, TEAM announced that it would
restate its financial statements for all periods since its initial public
offering in 1994. This restatement resulted from a change in the accounting
treatment of the BRACC Warrant issued to BRACC concurrently with TEAM's initial
public offering in August 1994. This change in accounting treatment was the
subject of numerous discussions between officers of TEAM and representatives of
D&T (including discussions between D&T and the Audit Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors, which occurred in January 1996), and was approved by the
Audit Committee and announced to the public on February 2, 1996. TEAM believes
this matter was resolved to the satisfaction of D&T; (ii) in late 1995, TEAM
received funds from a vehicle manufacturer that it accounted for in a manner
similar to funds it had received from a vehicle manufacturer in 1993. In March
1996, D&T advised TEAM that it did not deem the 1995 transaction analogous to
the 1993 transaction. D&T discussed this matter with officers of TEAM, and TEAM
issued its financial statements in accordance with the recommendation of D&T. In
connection with the resolution this matter, neither the Board of Directors nor
any committee thereof formally discussed this matter with D&T. TEAM believes
that this matter was resolved to the satisfaction of D&T.
 
     TEAM has provided D&T with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and
D&T has indicated in a letter to the Commission that it agrees with these
disclosures. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. Neither TEAM nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Arthur
Andersen LLP regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K prior to its appointment.
