IDAHO FALLS - We have a follow-up to a story we first told you Monday night about Budget Car Rental.

The company that owns the franchise at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport has filed for bankruptcy.

On Tuesday, we've learned that five people have been laid off and the business will be shut down.

The employees found out about the closing on Monday, and were told not to return the next day.

The car rental business is privately owned, so the Budget Auto Sales and truck rental business in town are not affected.

One manager will stay at the Budget desk until Friday to assist customers.
