Avis Budget Group Inc. has joined with La Quinta Inns & Suites to provide more than a million La Quinta Returns members with special savings on Avis and Budget rentals and the ability to earn points when renting from Avis and Budget. The new agreement makes Avis Budget Group the only partner to offer La Quinta Returns members the opportunity to earn points for car rentals.
Avis Rent A Car and Budget Rent A Car will showcase products, services as well as money-saving and bonus rewards offers on La Quinta Inns & Suites' Web site, www.LQ.com, and through e-mail and direct-marketing to La Quinta Returns members. Members can save up to 25 percent on Avis rentals and up to 20 percent on Budget rentals while earning La Quinta Returns points.
To celebrate the partnership, La Quinta Returns members who rent with Avis or Budget through March 31, 2011 can also earn bonus rewards. For more information, visit www.LQ.com.
