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.
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.

As Concord is the capital of New Hampshire, if you’re traveling here on business, it’s probably of the “official” variety. But there’s so much more to do around here than talk politics. You can enjoy golfing, hiking and canoeing in the summer and outstanding skiing in the winter. If you prefer to be indoors, there are also art galleries, museums and nice restaurants to appreciate instead. Whether you’re traveling to Concord for business, pleasure or both, the most comfortable and convenient way to get around is in your own CON car rental.
If you’re here during the summer months there are a number of golf courses located in and around Concord if you want to unwind on the green or relax with colleagues in style. A few, like Baker Hill Golf Club and Bald Peak Colony Club, are private, but both Beaver Meadow Golf Course and Canterbury Woods Country Club are open to the public.
In the winter months, skiing and snowboarding are very popular here with some of the best resorts located just over an hour away. Enjoy views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range on the slopes of Bretton Woods, or try Loon Mountain in picturesque White Mountain National Forest for a scenic run.
Explore the capital of the Granite State in the comfort and style of one of Avis’s Concord airport car rentals, the choice for discerning travelers.
