Avis Budget Group Open The Express Lane

Avis Budget Group today announced that Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental customers who utilize the “Pay Now” option on to pay for their rentals in advance, can now benefit from a new expedited check-out service. These customers can now utilize the new express lane at Avis and Budget rental counters and complete the process of getting into their rental vehicles more quickly.

“Customers typically choose to pay for their rentals in advance as a way to lock in discounted rates. For example, taking advantage of Budget’s Pay Now rates in San Francisco can save customers approximately £5 to £30 on a daily rental, or approximately £20 to £80 for a weekend rental,” said Tom Gartland, president, North America, Avis Budget Group. “We’re happy to enhance our Pay Now option and enable customers to save money and time, so they can make the most out of their business or leisure travels.”

Pay Now expedited check-out is available at more than 100 rental facilities across United States, including Albany, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Denver, Dallas, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Tulsa and Washington, D.C.

Speaking Of Speeding things up, Avis Budget Group recently announced that Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental customers can now rent portable Wi-Fi devices in twelve European countries. The new offering provides customers with access to 1GB of data per day without the fear of incurring roaming charges when traveling throughout Europe.

Users can connect up to five devices at the same time, including smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets. The units offer a download speed of 21.6 Mbps for a simple, fast and reliable way to conduct video conferences, access documents, surf the web, stream movies and access social media sites.

“Our new mobile Wi-Fi units are compact and portable so that they can be taken out of the car and into the hotel, business meeting, restaurant, campsite or even the beach — all with uninterrupted connectivity,” said Larry De Shon, president, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Avis Budget Group. “It’s a hassle-free and cost-effective way for travelers to stay connected — and another way we ‘put the customer first.'”

We hope to see these services rolled out to their worldwide locations over the next year or so… If you would like more information about this service then please dont hesitate to contact us before making a booking.

Great News At Stansted Airport

We have just received some great news about the Avis/Budget location at Stansted Airport, for as long as we can remember it has been a franschise location under the Budget brand. This means although the franchisee has certain guidelines to stick to, they can pretty much run the business as they please.

This didnt go down well with our cutomers in the early days as they were used to the high levels of service generally received at other Avis locations but time and time again the feedback we got was not good. Generally surrounding the specific terms the location had in place such as, high deposits, expensive excess reduction, age limits and dubious damage charges.

Now that this location has fallen back under the Avis brand we are confident in an improvement in all areas and on top of that the general terms of business that Avis work to such as, low deposits, cheaper insurance costs, high levels of customer service and high quality vehicles.

If you are flying into the Stansted Airport and are looking to hire a car, then speak to the experts at Indigo. Call us on +44 (0)113 880 0748, chat with us online or email us on sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk.
