Continuing its brand expansion eastward, Los Angeles-based Fox Rent-A-Car announces the opening of its 14th airport rental location at Orlando. In November, Fox began accepting reservations for its grand opening on January 17, 2012. Fox continues to be dedicated to investing in organic growth, with recent airport market openings in Burbank, Calif., Ontario and Denver.

Orlando's grand opening marks the company's first foray on the East Coast, a critical hub in the leisure travel market. 

"We are excited to bring the Fox brand to one of the most popular leisure travel destinations in America. Orlando represents a significant step in Fox's evolution as a national rental brand, and we expect our new customers will gravitate to the value and customer service Fox delivers in every market we serve," said Joe Knight, VP Business Development of Fox Rent-A-Car.

As a value brand in the car rental market, Fox offers customers a variety of programs and services that deliver savings and convenience. The Young Driver Program, launched in Summer 2011, allows 20-year-old drivers to rent from any of the company’s airport locations. The Choice Program lets customers choose their own vehicle upon arrival at most Fox locations across the country. The Fox Rewards Program provides customers a way to earn rewards points that may be redeemed for various products or services.
