Avis Car Rental has been named the “2015 Most Admired Car Rental Company” in the United States by readers of The Beat, the BTN Group’s daily travel business e-newsletter, which covers news about business travel distribution and technology.
The annual Beat Readers’ Choice Awards were based on a poll conducted this summer that asked readers to choose the company in each of six supplier segments (airline, hotel, car rental, travel management company, technology provider and payment system) that they “most admire for its policies, management style and service for business clients.”
“Avis Car Rental is committed to ‘putting the customer first’ and that includes providing superior products to enhance the business traveler’s rental experience and delivering premium service to each of them on a daily basis,” said Beth Kinerk, senior vice president of sales, Avis Budget Group. “We’re thrilled that readers of The Beat have selected Avis. It is a testament to the hard work of Avis employees around the world.”
