Customers Receive Free Two-day Rental Certificate for Qualifying Five-Day Rentals

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 6 -- Avis Rent A Car System, LLC has launched its "Weekender" promotion giving customers free two-day weekend rentals for every weekly rental of at least five days. Between now and June 25, 2006, customers who enroll at avis.com may earn up to three free weekend certificates to be redeemed for travel through December 17, 2006.

"Everyone appreciates getting a little something extra from the companies they do business with," said Scott Deaver, executive vice president of marketing for Cendant Car Rental Group, parent company of Avis.
