As an added benefit, the hangers, which are made from post-consumer recycled paper and the plastic caps from water/soda bottles and which use vegetable dye and non-toxic glues, feature special offers exclusively for Avis Preferred and Avis First customers. Now through June 15, members can enjoy a third weekend day free or $50 off a weekly rental when they utilize the coupon code on the hanger and use an American Express Card to pay for their rental.

Avis also offers car rental deals on one way and weekend car rentals at select airport and neighborhood locations.
