    The coupon book, valued at more than $1,500 in savings, contains offers

good toward future rentals and other Budget services:

    "We designed this coupon book as a way to thank our customers for their
business and to reward them for trading up to a higher car class.  We hope
this promotion will encourage Budget renters to test one of the many specialty
vehicles we have in our diverse WorldClass Fleet," states Mark Sotir, senior
vice president, Worldwide Marketing of Budget.
    More than 30 percent of Budget's WorldClass Fleet is comprised of
