Avis Brings Innovative Motorola GPS Device to the West Coast with Launch of 'Avis Assist'

             Demonstrations Available at LAX on February 5-6

    Separately, Avis Awards SUV to Santa Monica, California Winner of
              North American 2003 "Who Tries Harder" Contest

  WHAT:    1.  "Avis Assist," a satellite-based navigation system developed
               by Motorola for Avis will now be available on the West Coast,
               including at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
               Avis Assist allows customers to rent a Motorola phone with
               VIAMOTO software, a location-based navigation service that
               literally 'talks them through' directions to a destination,
               speaking street names and maneuvers along the way.  The unit
               can be rented with any Avis vehicle and is portable so it can
               be used out of the car as well - perfect for visitors who are
               unfamiliar with the city.

           Other cities premiering Avis Assist this month include Las Vegas,
           Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose,
           Santa Ana, Salt Lake City and Seattle.

           2.  Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. will also present Christopher
               Kinsman of Santa Monica, California, the keys to his grand
               prize "SUV for a year" for submitting the winning entry in
               the 2003 "Who Tries Harder" contest.  The contest celebrated
               the 40th anniversary of Avis' famous "We Try Harder" slogan
               by asking customers to write in about an employee who tries
               harder.  Visit www.wetryharder.com for all the details.

  WHEN:    1.  Avis Assist demos will be available by appointment on
               Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6.  Meet Avis at
               its airport location or Avis' public relations staff can pick
