Budget Rent A Car challenges customers to "Think Fast" and take advantage of its limited-time summer promotion on weekly rental deals.

From now through September 13, subscribers of Budget Hot Deals, a weekly e-mail newsletter, will receive special money-saving offers that remain valid if they reserve within seven days. For example, subscribers who received a recent Hot Deals email saved up to 35 percent on a weekend or weekly rental for pickup through September 30.

"We've always known Budget customers appreciate a good deal, so it's no surprise that nearly 200,000 renters to date have taken advantage of 'Think Fast'," said Becky Alseth, senior vice president of marketing for Avis Budget Group, parent company of Budget. "We invite our current Budget Hot Deals subscribers to 'Think Fast' again and encourage others to sign-up and save."

Terms and conditions for "Think Fast" rates vary by offer and a Budget Customer Discount number, which is provided with each offer and is needed at the time of reservation.
