Avis Budget Group Adds Benefits for Amazon Customers

Amazon Alexa is making more inroads into the travel industry.

Amazon and Avis Budget Group have partnered once again to make it even easier for consumers to book rental cars.

Last year, the car rental company launched an Alexa skill that allowed customers to make rental car reservations, review bookings and request an e-receipt for their last rental via Amazon’s voice-controlled module.

Now, Amazon customers who book an Avis vehicle can save money on rentals and receive Amazon gift cards for as much as 10 percent of the rental price. Later this month, they will be able to save 20 percent when booking using Alexa.

“Amazon customers are accustomed to convenient and on-demand services, and Avis Budget Group is pleased to be able to add transportation to the mix,” said Beth Kinerk, senior vice president, sales, Avis Budget Group.

“As digital technology evolves we are able to offer increasingly seamless travel experiences for our customers and hope these great incentives encourage more people to try our new offerings, including our Amazon Alexa booking tool,” added Kinerk. “We are excited to work with Amazon to offer their customers a valuable benefit when they rent with Avis.”

Right now, renters can use the Avis.com/Amazon link to score deals and discounts and book a vehicle.
