Business Travel Tips

A survey, released last week by Avis at the National Business Travel Association’s annual convention in Boston, shows Business travelers who rent autos often waste an average of 1 1/2 hours per trip.

More than 80 percent of 6,300 Avis customers who responded to the survey say they spend an average of 44 minutes stuck in traffic during a three-day business trip. At least half of those who responded say another half an hour is wasted getting lost, and 12 minutes go down the drain while in line to pay tolls. More than 42,000 business travelers who rent Avis vehicles were asked in May to fill out the survey. (source)

Rental companies rent additional products, such as electronic toll-collection devices and a navigation system that provides alternate routes in traffic, can help customers avoid wasting time on the road.
