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.

Additional Travel Information

Traveling to Norwood? Airport car rentals are a convenient way to get around to the places you need to go whether you’re here for business or on a well-deserved break.

Located in the Greater Boston area with downtown Boston only a 40-minute drive away, Norwood is a good home base away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Naturally, you’ll want to find the ideal vehicle for your trip, and there’s no better time to find it than as soon as you land at Norwood Memorial Airport (OWD).

Conveniently located on-site in the baggage claim area at OWD, Avis Car Rental offers deals on a wide range of vehicles suitable for any itinerary. The superb selection of Avis Norwood Memorial Airport rental cars ranges from spacious luxury cars and SUVs to smaller eco-friendly hybrids and compacts for city driving. If you want to get to your OWD car rental even faster, accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.

In Norwood, Luke Adams Glass Blowing Studio is a fun way to spend the afternoon in Norwood, and an original take on entertaining clients. There are a number of classes to choose from, which you have to pre-book.

Of course, if you’re here on business, it will most likely be in Boston. While you’re here, do make time to visit Little Italy—one of the best in America. But be forewarned, parking along the area’s narrow streets is a challenge, so think about something from the compact line of airport car rentals.
