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.

Though small in size, Brunswick is not lacking in Southern charm. The area’s colonial architectural heritage—the city was founded in 1771 and named after King George III of the House of Brunswick—is well preserved, especially in the Old Town Historic District, a pleasant place for an evening stroll. Amble up to the old city hall and admire its magnificent clock tower.

Southern soul food reigns supreme in Brunswick, so if you’re doing a business lunch down here, save room by having a light breakfast. Though there are plenty of barbecue restaurants to choose from, Southern Soul Barbecue on St. Simons Island earns top marks for its perfect pulled pork and juicy prime rib. Many a deal were made over a plate of Southern Soul goodness.

But first, you’ll need a vehicle to get you there, and you won’t find a more professional provider of Golden Isles Airport rental cars than Avis. For the discerning traveler, the breadth of deals and the quality of service make Avis the number-one choice.
