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.

Yampa Valley Regional Airport

Additional Travel Information

Professional service and a wide selection of great deals on quality rental cars—from compact airport car rentals to luxury vehicles and four-wheel-drive SUVs—make Avis Car Rental the choice for discerning travelers to Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN).

The Avis HDN car rental counter is conveniently located inside the baggage claim area and all the cars are right outside the building. The City of Craig is 20 miles west from the Yampa Valley Regional Airport rental cars parking area, and the resort town of Steamboat Springs is a half-hour drive east.

Steamboat Springs is known best for two things: for great skiing and for being home to many American Olympic medalists. If you’ve come in the winter and want to bring your own equipment, you can easily upgrade to an SUV with roof racks.

The best restaurants and shopping in Steamboat Springs are clustered at the base of Mount Werner, making it a popular destination for executive-level get-togethers, especially with the high-quality skiing on the hill.

In the summer months, popular activities include rafting on the Yampa River, rock climbing and swimming in the Steamboat Springs hot springs—again, extremely popular for corporate retreats.

But first you’ll need a vehicle, and if you’re a discerning traveler looking for Steamboat Springs airport car rentals, there’s no better place to start than Avis.
