Many of the Company’s operating leases for facilities contain renewal options. These renewal options vary, but the majority include

payments have been reflected in Note 17—Debt Under Vehicle Programs and Borrowing Arrangements, are not significant.
Commitments to Purchase Vehicles
The Company maintains agreements with vehicle manufacturers which require the Company to purchase approximately $4.9 billion of
vehicles from these manufacturers over the next year. The majority of these commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers’

and Budget brands are General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company, respectively. The purchase of such vehicles is financed
through the issuance of debt under vehicle programs in addition to cash received upon the sale of vehicles primarily under repurchase and
guaranteed depreciation programs.
