Avis launches fully integrated Web & Mobile App

Avis India has now fully integrated its international self-drive service on their website www.avis.co.in and Mobile App for the Indian travellers traveling to foreign destination. This will make Avis the first car rental company in India which has the capability to enable customers to book self-drive cars in 170 countries with over 5,500+ rental locations.

The future of international self-drive is very promising, According to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), India will account for 50 million outbound tourists by 2020. With the upcoming months being the most preferred season for international travel for Indians, customers are increasingly looking for self-drive services in top international locations such as the US, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Ireland, France, and Spain, among others. With the rise in demand for international self-drive it has become increasingly clear that exploring a new country in group tours is a passé, rather travellers are inclined to explore international locations independently and privately. However, experience of renting a car abroad may at times become a reason of distress accounting to lack of information around who to consider, booking methods, service expectations, customer support etc.

Customers also get a ‘Pay-Later’ option, wherein they can reserve the car with Avis & make a payment at the time of collecting the car at the rental station abroad. Customers also benefit from Avis India’s commitment to deliver an ideal rental experience, with features like Instant booking confirmation, GPS, one-way rental, unlimited mileage, option to add an additional driver, and child safety seat, as well as car insurance that covers theft and damage.

Additionally, as part of the introductory offer, Avis India will provide complimentary international Airport Lounge Access to all the customers who book a car during the first month of its services.

In order to help you get the best out of your road trips, Avis India has curated a series of informative videos & web blogs that help you discover innumerable road-trip details. It is a great educational content that covers detail of the road trips comprehensively and helps you take informed decisions. These include popular road trips across number of countries in North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Africa and Asia. All travel related information which an enthusiast looks forward to when exploring a new country can be found in these video blogs and the same can be accessed on their blog site www.avis.co.in/blogs
