Ladies and Gentlemen:

Avis Budget Finance plc, an entity organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), €250,000,000 principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of March 7, 2013 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Indirect Parent”), Avis Budget Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ABH”), Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company” and together with the Indirect Parent and ABH, the “Parents”), each of the entities listed in Schedule 2 hereto (collectively with the Parents, the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Citibank N.A., London Branch as paying agent and registrar and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of the Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

The Securities are being issued and sold in connection with the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Indirect Parent of Zipcar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zipcar”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Indirect Parent, Millennium Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Zipcar, dated as of December 31, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”). The net proceeds of the offering of the Securities will be used to partially fund the Acquisition and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the Securities and the Acquisition.

If the Acquisition is not consummated concurrently with the issuance of the Securities, the gross proceeds of the offering of the Securities will be deposited into the Escrow Account (as defined below) pending the satisfaction of the conditions to release the funds from the Escrow Account as set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined below) (the date of the satisfaction of such conditions, the “Completion Date”). On or prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 below), the Issuer and the Indirect Parent will execute an escrow agreement, in the form and substance to be agreed among the Issuer, the Indirect Parent, you, The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Trustee (the “Escrow Agreement”). Concurrently with the execution of the Escrow Agreement, the Issuer and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee, will execute an escrow security agreement, in the form and substance to be agreed upon by the parties

thereto (the “Escrow Security Agreement, and together with the Escrow Agreement, the “Escrow Documents”). The Indirect Parent and/or the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent, in the account specified in the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Account”) the gross proceeds of the offering of the Securities (including an amount equal to the Initial Purchasers’ Discount (as defined below)), together with an additional €8,583,333.33, such that the funds so deposited in the Escrow Account (the “Escrowed Funds”) are in an amount sufficient to redeem the Securities in cash at a redemption price of 100% of the gross proceeds of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities from the Closing Date through (but not including) October 3, 2013. The Securities will be redeemed pursuant to a special mandatory redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the issue price of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities from the Closing Date through the date of redemption in the event that (a) the Escrow Agent has not received, at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on September 30, 2013, an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer and the Indirect Parent confirming that the conditions to the release of the Escrowed Funds have been satisfied or if (b) prior to such date, the Escrow Agent has received an Officer’s Certificate from each of the Issuer and the Indirect Parent that the Merger Agreement has been terminated or that the conditions to the release of the Escrowed Funds will not be satisfied. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Escrowed Funds shall only be released pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If payment of the consideration for the Acquisition occurs simultaneously with the closing of this offering, then there will be no Special Mandatory Redemption or escrow of proceeds.

The Securities will be sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Issuer and the Guarantors have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated February 25, 2013 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Offering Memorandum”) setting forth information concerning the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Securities.

The Issuer and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein

(b) Indemnification of the Issuer and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, each of the Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Initial

Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the following: the information contained in (i) the first sentence in the second paragraph, (ii) the second and third sentences under the fifth paragraph, (iii) the third and fourth sentences under the sixth paragraph, (iv) the eighth paragraph, (v) the fifteenth paragraph and (vi) the nineteenth paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representative and any such separate firm for the Issuer,

the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any control persons of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement unless such fees and expenses are being disputed in good faith, and (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have given at least 30 days written notice of its intention to settle. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification is or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person, as incurred, as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer from the sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or any Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse to, and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with, the offering, sale or delivery, of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; or (v) the representation in Section 3(a) is incorrect in any respect.

10. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Issuer on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such

Securities, then the Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Issuer may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Issuer or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Indirect Parent and the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Issuer shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Issuer shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantors, except that the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration

or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by Euroclear and Clearstream; (ix) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Securities and (x) 50% of all expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 (other than pursuant to clause (v) of Section 9 if the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers subsequently enter into another agreement for the Initial Purchasers to purchase the same or substantially similar securities of the Issuer), (ii) the Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

(c) All amounts payable by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors jointly or severally under this Agreement shall be exclusive of value added tax or any similar taxes (“VAT”). In addition, all such VAT (where applicable) shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as the payment to which such VAT relates. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts charged by the Initial Purchasers or for which the Initial Purchasers are to be reimbursed will be invoiced and payable together with VAT, where applicable. In the case where VAT has been charged in respect of any cost, charge or expense incurred by the Initial Purchasers and for which the Initial Purchasers are to be reimbursed, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for such VAT only for the extent that if the Initial Purchasers determine that such VAT is not recoverable by them by way of repayment or credit.

(d) The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to pay all Stamp Taxes payable in each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on (i) the creation, issue or delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees; (ii) the purchase, resale and delivery of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers as contemplated in this Agreement; and (iii) the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15. Governing Law Provisions. (a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) Authorized Agent. The Issuer has appointed Corporation Service Company at 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 210, New York, NY 10036 as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated therein which may be instituted in the Specified Courts, by any Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Initial Purchaser, or by any person who controls any Initial Purchaser. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Issuer agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice to the Issuer shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Issuer.

(d) Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. The Issuer and the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated hereby.

16. Miscellaneous. (a) Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by the Representative on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representative shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE

[●], 2013

I, David B. Wyshner, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), do hereby determine and certify on behalf of the Company, as of the date hereof, as follows:

1.	I am familiar with the Company’s accounting records and have responsibility for financial and accounting matters with respect to the Company.

I supervised the compilation of and reviewed the circled information marked with a “A” contained on the attached Exhibit A (the “Forward-Looking Information”), which is included in the [Preliminary] Offering Memorandum. The Forward-Looking Information includes certain projections, estimates, forecasts and forward-looking guidance relating to synergies expected to be realized by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with its acquisition of Zipcar, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Zipcar”). As of the date such information was included in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, each item of the Forward-Looking Information has been prepared by the Company in good faith based on (i) principles consistent with the Company’s internal models and with past practices of the Company with respect to its disclosure of similar information, (ii) historical and forward-looking information regarding Zipcar with respect to which I, or those under my supervision, have performed a reasonable investigation, (iii) assumptions that are reasonable as of the date hereof and (iv) to the extent the Forward-Looking Information relates to GAAP financial measures, accounting principles have been applied on a basis consistent with the historical consolidated audited financial statements of the Company. To my knowledge, each item of the Forward-Looking Information is reasonable and was based upon estimates and assumptions which I believe to be reasonable in light of current conditions and current facts and reflect the good faith and reasonable estimates of the future financial performance of Company and its subsidiaries. Nothing has come to my attention that as of the date hereof caused me to believe that the Forward-Looking Information contains a material misstatement or omission, or is misleading.1

This certificate is being furnished to the Initial Purchasers to assist them in conducting their investigation of the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities. Without the written consent of the Company: (i) no person other than the Initial Purchasers may rely upon this certificate for any purpose; (ii) this certificate may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or similar document; (iii) this certificate may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this certificate by any person other than the Initial Purchasers or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this certificate may not be furnished to anyone other than the Initial Purchasers for purposes of encouraging such reliance.

1 To cover synergies.

Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among Avis Budget Finance plc, an entity organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands, Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Avis Budget Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, each of the entities listed in Schedule 2 thereto and Citigroup Global Markets Limited, as representative of the several Initial Purchasers.

The Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Issuer (to the extent execution and delivery are governed by New York law), and when paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Issuer and the Trustee and due authentication and delivery of the Notes by the Issuer and the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and will be enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.

The Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors and, when the Securities have been paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Issuer and the Trustee and due authentication and delivery of the Securities by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), the Guarantees will constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of the Guarantors and will be enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors, as applicable, the performance by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, each of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ issuance and sale of the Securities in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) do not and will not conflict with or constitute or result in a breach or default under or violation of: (i) any Guarantor Formation Document or Guarantor Organizational Document, (ii) any statute or governmental rule or regulation which, in our experience, is normally applicable both to general business corporations or limited liability companies that are not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents (but without our having made any special investigation as to other laws and provided that we express no opinion in this paragraph with respect to (a) any laws, rules or regulations to which the Issuer or the Guarantors may be subject as a result of the Initial Purchasers’ legal or regulatory status or the involvement of the Initial Purchasers in such transactions, (b) any laws, rules or regulations relating to misrepresentations or fraud, (c) the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Trust Indenture Act) or (iii) the terms or provisions of any contract set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (provided that in each case we express no opinion as to compliance with any financial covenant or test or cross-default provision in any such agreement) (the “Applicable Contracts”), except in the case of items (ii) and (iii), any such conflict, breach, violation, default or event which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or to materially impair the ability of the Issuer or the Guarantors to perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents.

No consent, approval, authorization or order, or registration or filing with, of any court or other governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency, which has not been obtained or made and is in full force and effect, is required under any Specified Law (as defined below) for the execution or delivery by the Issuer and the Guarantors of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the security or blue sky laws of the various states (and the rules and regulations thereunder) or the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph.

10.

No registration under the Securities Act of the Securities is required in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum or in connection with the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum, and the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, in each case assuming (i) that the purchasers who buy such Securities in the initial resale thereof are persons that the Initial Purchasers and any person acting on behalf of the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or persons other than U. S. persons in connection with offers and sales made in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, (ii) the accuracy and completeness of the Initial Purchasers’ representations set forth in Section 1(b) of the Purchase Agreement (including Annex C thereto), and those of the Issuer and the Guarantors set forth in the Purchase Agreement regarding, among other things, the absence of a general solicitation in connection with the sale of such Securities to the Initial Purchasers and the initial resales thereof, and (iii) the compliance with the procedures set forth in the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer and the Guarantors.

Neither the sale, issuance or delivery of the Securities nor the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Use of proceeds” will contravene Regulation T (12 C.F.R. Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

14.

To our actual knowledge, except for legal or governmental proceedings described in documents incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and in the Offering Memorandum, there is no legal or governmental proceeding that is pending or threatened against the Issuer or any Guarantor that has caused us to conclude that such proceeding would be required to be described by Item 103 of the Regulation S-K under the Securities Act if the issuance of the Securities were being registered under the Securities Act but is not so described in the Time of Sale Information and in the Offering Memorandum.

In such proceedings, the Jersey Courts would not re-hear the case on its merits save in accordance with such principles of private international law;

a final and conclusive judgment under which a sum of money is payable (not being a sum payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or penalty) obtained in the High Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court in England against the Company in respect of the Escrow Account Charge would be recognised as a valid judgment by the Jersey courts and would be enforceable in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) (Jersey) Law 1960 without a substantive re-examination of the merits of such judgment;

Ex. C-4

Exhibit D

[Form of Issuer Opinion]

To my knowledge, there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries are a party or to which any property of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is subject that are of a type that would have been required to be disclosed in the Offering Memorandum pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended as of the date hereof (the “Securities Act”), had the Offering Memorandum been a registration statement under the Securities Act that are not so disclosed.

The execution and delivery by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors of the Purchase Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture, the Escrow Agreement and the Security Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) to which such entity is a party and the consummation by each such entity of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not (i) result in any violation of the provisions of such entity’s Organizational Documents, (ii) constitute a violation of, or a breach or default under, the terms of any agreements or instruments to which such entity is a party (except for such violations, breaches or defaults that are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and the Guarantors, taken as a whole) or (iii) violate or conflict with, or result in any contravention of, any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over such entity (except for such violations that are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and the Guarantors, taken as a whole). I do not express any opinion however, as to whether the execution, delivery or performance by the Issuer and the Guarantors of the Purchase Agreement will constitute a violation of or default under, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their subsidiaries.
