Avis Extends Family Drive Promotion for Fall Family Trips
Popular 'Family Drive Package' Will Now Include Mini-Vans
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the popularity of this summer's "Family Drive Package" Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. has announced an extension of the promotion through October 15, 2002. To make this offer even more beneficial to families, Avis is now including free upgrades to mini-vans as part of the package. With free upgrades to give families more room, plus travel tips and games, Avis will continue to "drive" the family vacation into the fall.
The Avis "Family Drive" Package includes:
* The Avis "Family Drive Upgrade": Customers who book weekend or weekly rentals, including a Saturday night stay over, from now through October 15, 2002 can apply the Family Drive Package coupon (#UUWA003)to get a mini-van or larger car for the price of a smaller one in several car classes. For example, the Upgrade can turn a Full-Size car (e.g. Chevy Impala) into either a Premium (e.g. Buick LeSabre), SUV (e.g. Chevy Blazer), or Mini-van (e.g. Chevy Venture). Blackout days and restrictions apply. Complete details can be found on avis.com.
* Savings on Child Safety Seats: In keeping with its emphasis on child safety, the Family Drive Package coupon also entitles customers to a "rent one, get one free" special on child restraints. Avis is the first and only rental car company to offer the LATCH system, the new
federal standard for child restraint installation. Full details and restrictions can be found on avis.com
* The Avis "Family Road Map": Avis has created an informative guide to a great family drive, outlining tips on travel safety and maintaining the vehicle while traveling. The guide also shares useful planning hints, projects and games that will entertain kids along the way, plus a
money-saving offer for future Avis rentals.
"We all know mini-vans give families the room they need on road trips," said Scott Deaver, executive vice president of marketing for Avis. "Being able to offer them as part of the 'Family Drive Package' makes Avis an even better choice for family travel."
