At 0.98, Avis Rent A Car is the strongest pull in Budget's top 10 — but the second cluster tells a different story, with mid-range hotels pulling nearly as hard as fellow car rental brands.
The shape here is two-peak. The first peak is tight and same-kind: Avis Rent A Car (0.98), the generic Car Rental category entity (0.96), and Hertz (0.91) form a clean car rental cluster — three of the top 10 neighbors share Budget's own subcategory. The second peak is hospitality: DoubleTree by Hilton (0.92), Embassy Suites Hotels (0.92), and Residence Inn by Marriott (0.91) all land within a point of Hertz, and all three are mid-range hotels. That's a meaningful structural bridge — the audience that follows Budget also maps closely onto extended-stay and business-travel hotel brands.
The remaining top-10 slots are occupied by two automotive entries: Lexus (0.92) and Bosch Service (0.91), both from the Automotive category but different subcategories (Car Makers and Maintenance and Repair Services respectively). No other category appears more than once in the top 10, and the outlier is Gary Vaynerchuk (0.90), a Tech Personalities influencer — the lone Celebrities and Influencers entry in the set.
The two-peak structure — car rental on one side, mid-range hospitality on the other — points to an audience organized around the full business-travel stack rather than rental alone.
