Avis Launches 'Avis Choice' in Canada

Customers Can Choose Between Unlimited and Capped Kilometre Rates

PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 18, 2007 -- Avis Rent A Car System, LLC today introduced "Avis Choice," a program designed to give customers in Canada a choice between an unlimited kilometre rate and a capped kilometre rate. Now, customers who rent a vehicle in size ranging from sub-compact through full-size from participating neighborhood locations in Canada can save up to $35 per day on daily or weekend rentals, or up to $160 per week when they choose the capped kilometre option. The capped kilometre option includes 200 kilometres per day or 1,400 per week (for rentals of five days to seven days).

"We recognize that customers who rent from neighborhood locations are doing so for different reasons than those who rent at the airport and as such, may be traveling shorter distances," said William Boxberger, vice president and general manager, Canada, for Avis Budget Group, Inc., parent of Avis. "Now, those traveling less distance can benefit from a lower rate. This is another way that 'We Try Harder' to meet individual travel needs."

Avis has more than 165 neighborhood locations in Canada. For further information or to make a reservation, visit www.avis.ca, call 1-800-TRY-AVIS (879-2847) or visit a neighborhood Avis location.
