Avis Car Rental Enhances Mobile App Experience with New Split Payment Feature
June 03 2019 - 9:00AM
Avis Car Rental is the first car rental company to introduce split
payment functionality to its mobile app experience. Split My Bill,
a new payment feature within the Avis mobile app, provides
travelers with the ability to split car rental payments between two
different credit cards or forms of payment. Customers now have the
option to split their payment by total bill amount, rental days or
additions like SiriusXM Radio, as well as charge vehicle upgrade
costs to a second form of payment during their rental period.
A recent Avis Car Rental survey of travelers nationwide reveals
that 87 percent are likely to mix business and leisure in the same
trip. The new Split My Bill feature allows travelers to divide
costs associated with their rental between corporate and personal
credit cards for greater convenience on the road and when
reconciling travel expenses. Whether it is extending a corporate
rental for a weekend vacation or upgrading a vehicle for a sunnier
trip in a convertible, business travelers no longer have to worry
about the blurring of lines between leisure and corporate travel
expenses. The new functionality is a seamless process, putting
control into the business travelers’ hands, where they previously
had to rely on Avis counter staff or sort through receipts at the
end of their trip. Instead of needing to visit a physical service
desk, with Split My Bill, travelers can adjust payment forms via
the mobile app or Avis.com website any time during the rental
period as quickly as travel plans change.
“With the introduction of Split My Bill, our business travelers
can go beyond the corporate experience or trip to experience
upgrades and additional services that travelers enjoy and want. We
recognize that many travelers use business trips as an opportunity
to explore new cities solo or meet up with family in the area and
are thrilled to offer a feature that will help them make the
reconciliation of travel expenses cleaner and easier,” says Beth
Gibson, Vice President, Ancillary Revenue at Avis Budget Group.
“Our mobile app experience gives customers more personalization of
their trip than any other brand.”
The Split My Bill feature is available to all Avis Preferred
members via the Avis mobile app for devices on the iOS and Android
platforms. Enrollment in Avis Preferred is free. For more
