Avis Budget Relationship

Post by Cowling » Fri Jul 02, 2021 3:14 am

As far as I know some time ago Budget was bought by Avis. All the offices are co-located. What do you guys think are there any advantages between the both besides matched prices ?

My opinion is to prefer Avis. Normally the cars are newer at Avis. Personally I always prefer the better service at Avis. Avis is the premium brand. Budget is more the discount brand.
Another advantage is also thsat you can enroll in Avis Preferred and then skip the counter. Precondition is that you sign up for Avis Preferred.

Even for occasional renters it`s worth to go to Avis instead of Budget when being a Avis Preferred member. You must not your DL every time. And of course you`ll be able to skip the counter as well.

Usually rental rates at Avis a bit higher than Budget as per my experience. However taking into account that you can apply discount and coupon codes at Avis there is an good opportunity to end up being a better deal.

At LAS for example and some other locations Budget is a licensee whereas Avis is corporate. This means that rates are set independently there. This has potential to end up with a situation where Avis is lower than Budget. :D :lol:

Fully agree on that. Such a situation can occur. From time to time Avis rates are little lower than those from Budget. ;)

I prefer Avis due to the much newer fleet and better selection of cars. ;)

For sure there is no login credential for using AutoSlash when you want to book at either Avis or Budget.

My recommendation is to never book via Autoslash. Any direct booking on the websites of Avis or Budget is always cheaper. ;)
