"Mature travelers are one our largest customer segments," stated Scott Deaver, executive vice president of marketing for the Cendant Car Rental Group, the parent company of Avis.

Services like Avis Assist, a satellite-based navigation system, free XM Satellite Radio, 24-hour roadside assistance, city guides to local attractions and Avis Access products and services for travelers with disabilities are proof that we try harder to make sure that AARP members get more for their money at Avis."
