SINGAPORE, Feb 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- This year marks the
40th year of operations of leading car hire company, Avis, in
Singapore with great promotions for its customers for the whole
month of March 2012.
Since launched on 31 March 1972, Avis Singapore has provided the
local and expatriate communities with world-class, flexible and
reliable vehicle rental, vehicle leasing, limousine & transfer
services, and as well as international call centre overseas booking
services.
Its colorful legacy can be traced back in 1970 when Avis opened its
first location in Asia with Hong Kong, followed in 1972 by
Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Pakistan and
Sri Lanka. It has grown steadily throughout the region ever since
and has then expanded its operations to Thailand, Macau and South
Korea in the 80s; and onto the Pacific, including Guam, Saipan,
Rota and Tinian in the 90s. The brand's presence in Asia was even
strengthened by the extension of licensee agreements done by Avis
Europe to 27 additional Asian territories in 1997. More recently,
developments have included openings in India, Mainland China (with
the largest operating network by an international brand), Taiwan,
and Vietnam (the only international car rental brand operating in
the country); as well as partnerships with major airlines in the
region.
At present, Avis operates in over 330 locations (64 airport; 265
downtown and hotels/resorts) in 22 countries and territories in
Asia and has been recognized, for the sixth consecutive year, as
"Asia's Leading Car Hire" by the World Travel Awards, a prestigious
organization that honors service excellence given by members of the
global travel and tourism industry.
In Singapore, Avis now operates the Avis brand throughout a network
of five locations, including two city offices at 390A Havelock
Road, #01-07 Waterfront Plaza, Singapore 169664; and 6 Raffles
Boulevard #01-101D Marina Square Shopping Mall; and three airport
locations: Changi International Airport Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and
Terminal 3. It has evolved throughout the years with more and more
innovative ways of providing efficient and reliable products and
services to its clientele which include a newly-revamped corporate
website: www.avis.com.sg and a freshly-launched mobile booking
application: m.avis.com.sg( http://www.m.avis.com.sg ). It
also maintains its Avis Preferred program which provides a faster
and easier way of booking and renting a car; the Avis Cares4Kids
program which ensures its commitment to child safety; its flexible
long-term car rental scheme called, Avis Flex; and its highly
trusted, Avis Leasing program.
