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.
About this location:
Page Municipal Airport
Page is located in Arizona’s red rock canyon country near bordering Utah. The city’s main attractions are nearby Lake Powell, North America’s largest artificial lake, and picturesque Antelope Canyon, accessible by guided tour only. Though beautiful natural sights, both areas are subject to flash flooding and can be dangerous. Seek thorough knowledge of local conditions before proceeding.
The Avis Car Rental counter at Page Municipal Airport (PGA) is conveniently located in the baggage claim area. Avis’s Page airport car rentals facility has a wide selection of vehicles—from compact airport rental cars to luxury vehicles and SUVs. You may also accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.
The airport’s PGA car rental lot is located just a mile east of the city, so it’s only a short drive from here into the Page city center.
Because of the area’s outstanding natural scenery, more than three million people visit Page each year. As a result, this tiny city has a surprising number of dining options, perfect for business dinners or evenings out with friends.
But first, a great deal on Page Municipal Airport rental cars, and the best place to begin is Avis. Professional service, quality vehicles and outstanding value make Avis the preferred choice for discerning visitors to the area.
