Business Travel Tips

Avis Rent A Car System, LLC launched a new service to provide its customers with information on concerts, sporting events, museums, galleries, festivals and other popular activities at 25 major business travel destinations in the United States. The service is available at www.avis.com/mywhere2.

Avis customers who rent Where2(TM), the Company’s portable GPS navigation system, can also save destination information found at myWhere2.com or anywhere else on the Web onto a Secure Digital (SD) memory card that can be transferred into the Where2 unit when they pick up their rental vehicle. […] A survey of frequent business travelers commissioned by Avis found that a majority of business travelers, 68 percent, have at least some time for leisure activities when traveling for business. Of those with time for leisure, 81 percent spend at least some of their after-work time for pleasure. In addition, 56 percent use a rental car when participating in such activities.

Bob Lambert, senior vice president of commercial sales at Avis Budget Group, Inc., parent company of Avis says:”Most business travelers don’t have the time or means to familiarize themselves with leisure activities and opportunities once they arrive at their destination. In fact, 23 percent of business travelers surveyed said they often wasted free time because they lacked the time and resources to plan in advance“. (source)
