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.

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

Four Corners Regional Airport

Additional Travel Information

Coal mining and natural gas are the big industries in northwest New Mexico. American and international speculators, engineers and executives land at Four Corners Regional Airport (FMN) on their way to the Navajo and San Juan operations, and the most discerning of them choose Avis Car Rental.

The Avis FMN car rental counter is located in the baggage claim area, and you’ll have your pick of excellent deals on quality vehicles ranging from convertibles for enjoying the dry New Mexico heat to luxury airport car rentals for making an impression at your meetings. And since all the Four Corners Regional Airport rental cars are conveniently parked just outside the terminal, you’ll have no problem getting going. If you’re in a serious hurry to get to a presentation or demonstration, accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.

Farmington after quitting-time is a fairly eclectic place. On the one hand, it’s known as a center of Navajo expression, and you’ll find a number of interesting shops and restaurants to introduce you to this rich culture. On the other hand, it’s a hotbed of baseball in the Southwest, and the home of the Connie Mack World Series. The town is full of ball diamonds, and it’s absolutely worth grabbing a snack and a seat in the bleachers at a game—the players will think you’re a scout and play extra hard for your benefit.

Whether you’re flying here on business or as a first stop on a tour of the four corner states (Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona), you won’t find a more professional provider of quality Farmington airport car rentals than Avis.
