The Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ) honored Avis Car Rental in New Zealand as the “Best Rent A Car Operator” during its annual National Travel Industry Awards event in Auckland.

“We could not be prouder of our Avis New Zealand team, and they are well-deserving of this honor,” said Patric Siniscalchi, Avis Budget Group president of Latin America/Asia-Pacific. “This comes as a result of decades of dedicated hard work and outstanding service by a group of men and women who know what it takes to create true customer delight. To be recognized for this by travel professionals is particularly gratifying.”
