Avis Car Rental and other top travel brands are participating in the Daily Getaways 2012 promotion in order to encourage summer leisure travel.

Avis is offering travelers one-day travel certificates valued at $50 for $33 beginning April 10. The certificates are valid at participating Avis locations for subcompact, compact, intermediate, standard, full-size or premium vehicles.

“Last year's Avis offer in the Daily Getaways promotion sold out in less than two hours,” said Avis Budget Group Chief Marketing Officer Jeannine Haas. “We're thrilled to join other leading travel brands again in this year's promotion and offer travelers a money-saving way to rent from a trusted global brand like Avis.”

The five-week long promotion ends May 11. Exclusive deals will be revealed at 10 a.m. PST each day and will be available until the end of the promotion period or when it is sold out.

“As the economy continues to bounce back, more Americans will be planning travel this summer,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association. “The Daily Getaways promotion provides an added incentive with fantastic deals to travel within the United States this spring and summer.”
