Everything you need for simpler car hire

The latest innovations and offerings from Avis and Budget mean every kind of traveller can transition seamlessly from the tarmac to the road. Regional managing director Kaye Ceille explains how the company is in the fast lane for choice and customer service.

1. Booking made easy

Earn valuable Qantas Points for yourself and your business by visiting qantas.com to hire an Avis or Budget car. The website is easy to access from your smartphone, tablet or laptop when you’re on the go. Simply select the dates and pick-up and drop-off locations around the world and you’ll be given a variety of options to choose from. All the information to help you make your choice is clearly laid out on the site, including cost per day and the vehicle’s features.

2. Tailored business solutions

The Avis Corporate Awards program rewards your business with Qantas Points, great rates and dedicated account management. The Budget Business Club provides customers with a simple solution for their vehicle rental needs. Businesses can earn Qantas Points and enjoy set rates across the full range of cars, utes, vans and specialised commercial vehicles. Points can only be earned on commercial vehicles by booking through the Budget Business Club. Visit avis.com.au or budget.com.au for details.

3. More choice

From the Toyota Corolla to the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Avis offers all the best brands across the full spectrum of needs and tastes, including a wide range of small, medium and large SUVs, especially for those trips where you want things to feel like home. Budget offers Australia’s largest range of commercial vehicles, including utes, delivery vans, pantechs, tautliners and even mine-spec vehicles.

4. More options and extras

It’s easier to stay connected, with mobile wi-fi devices available at selected pick-up locations. We recommend a protection package in case of any mishaps, too. Avis and Budget have several levels of cover with different inclusions – extras such as excess reduction and personal baggage insurance – so consider which option best suits your business travel needs. Plus, there’s roadside assistance (fees depend on the circumstances) so your business can keep moving.

5. People who understand your journey

Avis and Budget managed 147 million rental days in 2016. With so many kilometres on the clock, our award-winning customer experience officers know how to provide truly personal travel experiences, reflecting the fact that every trip and every customer is different.
