Avis Car Rental has added the Maserati Ghibli to its Signature Series rental fleet. The Ghibli is available to rent at select U.S. Avis locations, including Dallas, Orlando, Las Vegas, Los Angeles (including the new Avis location opening in Beverly Hills), Phoenix, San Francisco and South Florida.
"Many Avis customers are aficionados of exotic motor vehicles, while others simply enjoy the combination of superior performance and luxury styling, and the Maserati Ghibli is a perfect example of a car designed for just such motorists," said Joe Ferraro, president, Americas, Avis Budget Group. "This is a classic European sports sedan that is as beautiful to look at as it is fun to drive, and is a great way to add extra enjoyment to holiday travels."
The 2015 Maserati Ghibli sports sedan features a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 345 horsepower.
Other luxury vehicles in the Avis Signature Series include the Chevrolet Corvette, Lincoln Navigator, Infiniti QX60, Mercedes GL450, BMW X5, the BMW 3 Series Sedan and the BMW 5 Series Sedan, according to the company.
