Share:

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - Avis Rent A Car today announced the launch
of a mobile iPhone application, a free interactive tool that allows
travelers to book Avis car rental reservations via an Apple iPhone. The new
application, available online through the Apple iPhone "App Store,"
features multi-touch booking so customers can easily point and click on a
vehicle for rent at airport locations throughout the United States and
Canada.

"We're always looking for ways to save our customers time and enhance the
rental experience -- and that starts with the reservation process," said
John Peebles, vice president of online marketing for Avis Budget Group,
parent company of Avis. "The Avis iPhone application is another fast and
easy way to book Avis when you're on the go -- at the touch of a button."

The iPhone application builds upon Avis's commitment to offer renters
time-saving amenities, an example of the Avis "We try harder" approach to
service. In 2007, the Company unveiled the industry's first online booking
tool for Internet-enabled portable devices through an optimized version of
Avis.com designed for telephones, Blackberries and portable digital
assistants. Avis has also led the industry with innovations such as the
introduction of the first portable navigation device and electronic toll
collection solutions.
