Just in Time for the Holidays: Budget Rent a Car Gift Certificates
           The Perfect Gift is Just a Click Away at http://www.budget.com

    LISLE, Ill., Nov. 11 -- Don't know what to get Uncle Eddie
this year for the holidays?  What about Grampa Ted, the man who has
everything?  Sound familiar?  Budget Rent a Car has a simple solution for
hard-to-buy-for friends and relatives: car rental gift certificates.
    Consumers can get Dad the Jaguar he's always drooled over, present Mom
with a full-power, 4-wheel drive Ford Expedition, and award sis with the
"virtual" keys to a flirty Ford Mustang convertible.  Of course, giving gift
certificates for renting those vehicles is probably preferable, and much
easier on the wallet.
    Budget gift certificates are available in $25 increments and they can be
ordered via phone (toll-free: 800-357-0495, between 9am and 5pm Central
Standard Time), fax (407-850-4701) or mail (Budget Rent a Car, Pre-Pay Dept.,
PO Box 593889, Orlando, Fla., 32589-8204).  Consumers can purchase
certificates by check, money order, traveler's check or credit card (all
major companies, plus the Sears Card).  Gift certificate order forms are
conveniently located on Budget's Web site: http://www.budget.com, through a link on
the home page.
    For those looking for a bit of gift creativity or those who simply like to
plan ahead, Budget gift certificates offer an easy and out-of-the-ordinary
solution.  This season, give the gift of car rental.
