About Avis

Avis is one of the world's leading car rental companies, founded in 1946 by Warren Avis at Willow Run Airport in Detroit. As the pioneer of airport car rental, Avis revolutionised travel by making it easy for business and leisure travellers to hire vehicles at their destination. Famous for the enduring slogan 'We Try Harder' introduced in 1962, Avis has built a reputation for customer service excellence. Now part of Avis Budget Group alongside Budget and Zipcar, Avis operates over 5,500 locations across 170 countries, offering everything from economy cars to luxury vehicles, SUVs, and commercial vans.
