How often is the warranty claim processing fee billed to Budget franchisees?

According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the warranty claim processing fee is billed monthly. This fee covers the review, coding, and processing of warranty repairs, adhering to the guidelines established by the manufacturers.

The service charge for warranty claim processing is 10% of the total dollars collected from the manufacturer. This means that Budget franchisees will be charged a percentage of the money they receive from manufacturers for approved warranty claims.

This monthly billing structure implies that franchisees need to manage their warranty claims efficiently to ensure timely processing and reimbursement. Franchisees should factor this ongoing cost into their financial projections and operational budgets. Understanding the manufacturer's guidelines for warranty repairs is also crucial to maximize claim approvals and minimize potential costs.
