     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A Common Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Budget Common Stock"), of Budget Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Budget"). This Amendment No. 2 supplementally amends the
initial statement on Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on June 29,
1998 (the "Initial Statement") and Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on July 13,
1999. The principal executive offices of Budget are located at 125 Basin Street,
Suite 210, Daytona Beach, Florida, 32114. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by
the Reporting Persons to report recent transactions in the Budget Common Stock
as a result of which the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of
more than 5% of the shares of Budget Common Stock. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
Initial Statement.

     1. Item 5 is hereby amended by deleting paragraph (a) and replacing it with
the following paragraph:

     (a) As of August 12, 1999, (i) Questor Partners beneficially owns and has
sole voting and dispositive power of 1,587,968 shares of Budget Common Stock,
representing 4.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Budget Common Stock,
and (ii) Questor SBS beneficially owns and has sole voting and dispositive power
of 113,924 shares of Budget Common Stock, representing 0.3% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Budget Common Stock. The foregoing percentage calculations
are based on 34,974,465 shares of Budget Common Stock being outstanding as of
August 12, 1999 as reported in Budget's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. Except for Questor Partners and Questor SBS, to the
best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, none of the other persons named in
Item 2 above own any interests in the shares of Budget Common Stock.

     2. Item 5 is hereby amended by deleting paragraph (c) and replacing it
with the following:

     (c) The Reporting Persons have entered into the following transactions with
respect to the shares of Budget Common Stock during the past 60 days:
