Avis has launched a new service that aims to help fleets meet their duty of care obligations.

Avis Business Solutions brings together several Avis business vehicle hire services under one new name. It includes long-term rental, formerly known as Maxi-rent, short-term hire, formerly Avis Advance, prestige rentals and van rentals.

Services include Avis staff checking every renters’ driving licence, a 59-point safety check to ensure that each vehicle is roadworthy, and insurance for all vehicles to the appropriate level.
