Avis services will be available to all Disneyland Paris guests as the companies enter a new five-year deal, according to a Disneyland Paris announcement.
The partnership includes a new car rental location at Marne la Vallée—Chessy—Parcs Disneyland railway station, besides a wide network of locations across Europe. The totally renovated Avis location at Marne la Vallée—Chessy station will be presented this summer.
Avis has a fleet of modern, hybrid and electric vehicles that support the same goals as Disneyland Paris, like giving excellent service, making sure customers are happy, looking after the environment and investing in sustainable growth.
Avis is offering discounts and benefits to Disneyland Paris guests. Guests with park tickets and those staying in a Disney Hotel will benefit from reductions on their car rental. Annual Passholders will also receive an invitation to upgrade and join the Avis Preferred membership.
This partnership means the car rental company can integrate Disney characters and franchises in communication campaigns throughout Europe—especially in France, England, Spain and Italy, which are strategic countries for the Avis brand. Avis is giving customers a glimpse of the wonders that await them when they take the road to Disneyland Paris in one of its vehicles through these campaigns.
The Avis brand will be associated in France with the well-known Autopia attraction in Disneyland Park, enjoyed by millions of guests each year. This iconic attraction, created by Walt Disney in 1955 at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, can now be found in three Disney Parks across the world. Autopia stands for a place where the city, nature and roads coexist peacefully—a fantastic depiction of the shared goals of Avis and Disneyland Paris.
“We’re excited about this new partnership, which means we are the only car rental company with a location inside Marne la Vallée—Chessy railway station—at the gates of Disneyland Paris, giving customers easy and convenient access to the Parks,” said Pierre-Olivier Bard, general manager, France at Avis Budget Group. “Our premises will be completely renovated to offer the best possible car rental experience and we look forward to welcoming customers.”
“Disneyland Paris is delighted to partner with Avis, a company which holds such a history of quality and innovation and puts customers’ expectations at the heart of everything it does,” said Laure Albouy, Vice president of Business Strategy and Integration at Disneyland Paris. “We believe that combining Disneyland Paris endless storytelling possibilities with Avis’ dedication to ‘trying harder and doing better,’ will result in the most magical and efficient services to our guests as soon as they start their journey to Disneyland Paris.”
