Rebirth is the result of attachment. No attachments, no rebirth (i.e. no fuel for continuation in samsara).

One thing that is sometimes not clear to newcomers: rebirth in Buddhism is not actually a good thing. The goal is not to be reborn. If one can't meet that goal (because it is difficult...requiring completion of the eightfold path), one at least strives to avoid an unfavorable rebirth.
