• Discounts on Budget car rentals at airport and neighborhood locations.

• Special offers on breakfast, kids' meals and dessert at Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.
In addition to great savings and deals, the Budget "Best Trip Ever" coupon booklet includes information on the "Budget Geo Brain Game Sweepstakes," where participants who can successfully answer 10 geography questions supplied by National Geographic will be entered into a drawing with a chance to win one of eight $1,000 U.S. Savings Bonds.
