Avis and Delta Introduce First Remote Airport Flight Check-In Kiosk at Car Rental Facility

PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 20 -- Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. and Delta Air Lines, Inc. today announced the introduction of the first remote airport flight check-in kiosk at a rental car location. The new service offers Delta and Avis customers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport a convenient option to check-in for their flights when returning their rental cars. The new kiosks, located at the Avis shuttle bus stop, incorporate Delta's online check-in option in an easy to use touch screen format. After using the check-in kiosk at Avis, customers get dropped off at the terminal and head straight for security with a boarding pass in hand.

The kiosk was developed by I.D. Systems and utilizes software that ties into Delta's existing web-based check-in process.

"We want to save Delta customers valuable time when they travel by offering the added convenience of online flight check-in at Avis rental facilities at the airport," said Patrice Miles, vice president of consumer marketing, Delta Air Lines. "The new kiosk's touch-screen interface is simple to use -- Delta customers can quickly navigate through the same screens they use when they check in online at delta.com to print their boarding passes and receipts."

"We are very pleased to be able to offer our customers a more convenient way to check in for their Delta flights," said Scott Deaver, executive vice president of marketing for Cendant Car Rental Group, parent of Avis. "We continually strive to find new technologies that help improve our customers' car rental experience and the new check-in kiosks reinforce this commitment."

"I.D. Systems is proud to be the company chosen to work with Avis and Delta to develop the technology driving the kiosk," said Ken Ehrman, I.D. Systems' president and chief operating officer.
