Understanding CAR Options Greeks

When trading Avis Budget Group, Inc. options, the Greeks help you understand how the option price will change:

Delta (Δ)

How much the CAR option price moves when the stock moves $1. A delta of 0.50 means the option gains $0.50 for every $1 stock increase.

Theta (Θ)

Daily time decay of the option. CAR options lose value each day as expiration approaches, even if the stock price stays flat.

Gamma (Γ)

Rate of Delta change. Higher gamma means Delta moves faster, making near-ATM CAR options more responsive to price changes.

Vega (ν)

Volatility sensitivity. When Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s implied volatility rises, high-vega options become more valuable.

CAR Options FAQ

To buy CAR (Avis Budget Group, Inc.) options, you need a brokerage account with options trading enabled (like TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, or Robinhood). Search for CAR options, select your desired strike price and expiration, choose call or put, and place your order. Always understand the risks and consider starting with paper trading.

The optimal expiration depends on your strategy. 30-45 day expirations offer a good balance of time value and theta decay for most traders. Shorter expirations (7-14 days) have higher gamma but faster time decay. Longer expirations (60-90+ days) cost more but give the trade more time to work.

Use our options search tool to see current CAR implied volatility levels. Compare the IV to historical averages to determine if options are relatively expensive (high IV) or cheap (low IV). High IV often occurs before earnings or major events.

ITM (In The Money) CAR options have intrinsic value — calls where strike < stock price, puts where strike > stock price. They're more expensive but have higher delta. OTM (Out of The Money) options are cheaper but have lower probability of profit. ATM (At The Money) options have strike ≈ stock price and highest gamma.
