Budget Car and Van Rental is opening a new branch at Birmingham’s NEC.

The company will now offer car and van hire to visitors, contractors and NEC employees from its branch on the Piazza.  

Nina Bell, Avis Budget group managing director for the northern EMEA region, said: “The NEC holds over 500 events each year, welcoming around 2.1m visitors and 33,000 exhibitors, so we expect this location to be very busy from the get-go, particularly as we are located in a prime spot that is within easy reach for any business or leisure traveller looking for quality car hire and first class customer service.

“The NEC is such a busy area of Birmingham, not only with conference and exhibition visitors, but also those enjoying the concerts and sporting events at the arena and shopping and entertainment at Resorts World.  We look forward to offering all of these people our flexible and convenient service.”
