Cendant Corporation was a global provider of travel and real estate services, founded in 1997. The company operated through various segments, including travel services, real estate, and hospitality. Cendant was known for its diverse portfolio, which included well-known brands like Avis, Budget Rent a Car, and Days Inn. In 2006, Cendant underwent a major restructuring, splitting into four separate companies: Realogy, Travelport, Avis Budget Group, and Wyndham Worldwide. This strategic move aimed to enhance focus and operational efficiency within each sector. Cendant's legacy continues through these independent entities, which remain influential in their respective industries.
