Company Overview

Avis Car Rental and its subsidiaries operate one of the world’s best-known car rental brands with approximately 5,500 locations in more than 165 countries. Avis has a long history of innovation in the car rental industry and is one of the world’s top brands for customer loyalty. Avis is owned by Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR), which operates and licenses the brand throughout the world.  

Quick History

Founded in 1946 by Warren Avis (who sold his interest in 1954), Avis was the first company to rent cars from airport locations. The company grew rapidly during the 1950’s through franchised and corporate-owned expansion. In 1963, Avis introduced the award-winning “We try harder®” campaign and the tagline remains the company’s rallying cry even today. Ten years later, Avis launched its innovative Wizard system, the company’s proprietary reservation technology. Avis changed ownership multiple times in the 70’s and 80’s, becoming employee-owned in 1987. That same year, Avis introduced the Roving Rapid Return, a handheld computer terminal allowing customers to bypass the Avis counter. Two years later, the company launched Avis Cares® a program aimed at promoting renter and employee safety. In 1996, HFS Incorporated acquired Avis, which was then spun off as a separate public company, all but the franchising rights, Wizard system, and reservation operations. In 2000, the company introduced Avis Interactive, the first Internet-based reporting system for commercial accounts in the car rental industry, which was significantly enhanced and re-launched in 2006. In March 2001, Cendant Corporation purchased all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings and later that year moved its world headquarters to Parsippany, NJ. In 2006, Cendant Corp. separated into four independent companies: Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide, Travelport and Avis Budget Group, Inc., which is now the parent company of Avis Car Rental. In 2011, Avis Budget Group acquires Avis Europe plc. The transaction re-unites Avis Budget Group with its licensee for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Location

Cincinnati/N Kentucky Intl Airport

Additional Travel Information

Avis Car Rental is the preferred choice of business travelers at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). You’ll find a variety of airport car rentals, from compact and eco-hybrid vehicles for great gas mileage to luxury vehicles and SUVs for comfortable driving along the Queen City’s interior highway system. And in addition to the great deals available on most rental cars, you’ll have the ability to accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.

Follow signs from the baggage claim to the Avis courtesy bus. The bus, which runs regularly, will take you to the CVG car rental facility. From the Cincinnati airport car rentals lot, it’s only a 17- to 20-minute drive to the city’s central business district—and Cincinnati’s business scene is growing rapidly. It’s already home to head offices of Proctor & Gamble and Macy’s and more companies are moving in every month, both for the available land for manufacturing and the fact that there are more chili restaurants per person than anywhere else in America. Cincinnati is known as the Chili Capital of the World. Another draw is the largest Oktoberfest festival outside of Munich.

But first, you’ll need a vehicle, and for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport rental cars, there’s no better place to start than Avis.
