For Budget franchises, what is the deadline for the Intercity Control department to update movement information in Wizard after a transaction involving Non-Owned Vehicles?

According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each Budget Operator is required to designate an Intercity Control department or individual to centralize communication regarding Non-Owned Vehicles or contracts. This department is responsible for maintaining records of all rental agreements opened and closed involving Non-Owned Vehicles.

The Intercity Control department or person must ensure that all movement information is properly updated in Wizard, Budget's rental management system, within one business day of the transaction. This requirement ensures that Budget maintains accurate and timely records of its Non-Owned Vehicle fleet, which is crucial for efficient operations and revenue management.

For a prospective Budget franchisee, this means that they need to have a system in place to track and update vehicle movement information promptly. Failing to update Wizard within the specified timeframe could lead to operational inefficiencies, billing errors, and potential disputes with other Budget locations. Therefore, it is essential to allocate sufficient resources and training to the Intercity Control function to comply with this requirement.
