Geared up for changing customer demands
There’s been a real shift in consumer behaviour in recent years, with a noticeable change in attitudes towards vehicle ownership. This trend is reflected in corporate travel, where businesses are seeing the benefits of corporate car hire.
Corporate car hire offers businesses increased flexibility, particularly with shorter or medium-term rental options that don’t tie customers in to lengthy contracts.
It means that employees are renting vehicles that are newer and more efficient – a real positive considering Britain’s grey fleet (employees’ own vehicles used for business) is responsible for some of the oldest cars on UK roads, whereas rental cars are on average less than a year old.
Not only does corporate hire benefit businesses by providing better vehicles, but it also helps the environment, with rental cars emitting 26% less CO2 than the average car on the street.
As our customers’ mobility requirements continue to evolve, so do we. We have developed our services to suit a range of needs and this includes our recently updated Avis App, which lets users manage their own rental experience from start to finish.
More than just being a booking system, Avis Preferred members can also benefit from self-serve functionality, allowing them to select their exact vehicle model and, in some stations, bypass the rental desk altogether and get straight on the road.
