Avis will also distribute free Avis Music Cables to renters which will enable customers to listen to their MP3 players through the sound system in most rental vehicles. The cords plug into any standard portable audio player headphone jack and work on most MP3 players.

The program runs from now through September 30, 2008.

To receive free audiobook and music downloads, customers must enroll in the Avis eMusic Giveaway at www.avis.com/emusic or through the Avis reservation center at 1-888-777-AVIS.

Car rental reservations can also be made online at avis.com. An e-mail containing eMusic download codes will be automatically sent after customers complete each qualifying rental.
