Avis Budget Group Introduces New Benefits for Amazon Customers
July 19 2018 - 9:00AM
Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) today introduced plans to
reward Amazon customers with special perks when they rent a car
through Avis. Beginning today, Amazon customers who book an Avis
vehicle can save money on their rental and receive an Amazon.com
Gift Card valued at 10 percent* of their rental price*. Later this
month, those who book an Avis vehicle using the Avis skill for
Amazon Alexa will receive an Amazon.com Gift Card valued at 20
percent*.
“Amazon customers are accustomed to convenient and on-demand
services, and Avis Budget Group is pleased to be able to add
transportation to the mix,” said Beth Kinerk, Senior Vice
President, Sales, Avis Budget Group. “As digital technology evolves
we are able to offer increasingly seamless travel experiences for
our customers, and hope these great incentives encourage more
people to try our new offerings, including our Amazon Alexa booking
tool. We are excited to work with Amazon to offer their customers a
valuable benefit when they rent with Avis.”
This offering builds upon a relationship between the two
companies that dates back to 2017 when Avis launched a skill for
Amazon Alexa. The skill enables Avis customers to make a car rental
reservation, review current or past reservations and request an
e-receipt of their last rental. Travelers have instant,
voice-controlled access to the car rental booking process with such
commands as “I need a car at La Guardia Airport at 9:00 a.m. this
Friday.”
*Gift card value is based on a rental’s time and mileage.
Applicable to Avis rentals in the United States, with the
expectation to launch in other key markets. For more information,
