Avis has extended its corporate service to include vans, becoming a single source for both cars and commercial vehicles for the first time.

The new service, Avis Commercial Vehicles, will provide a ‘no turn-down’ guarantee on a range of commercial vehicles after the company created a joint venture with Goodwood Corporate Mobility Limited, which will manage a network of suppliers, ensuring nationwide coverage, instant confirmation and fast delivery of vehicles.

Commercial director Anthony Ainsworth said: “We go out of our way to listen to our customers and ensure we are providing a service that fits within their business needs and expectations. As such, the move into commercial vehicles was a natural step for us as we looked to provide a comprehensive service that is flexible, efficient and retains the same level of service that Avis customers have come to expect.”

The commercial vehicles on offer within the Avis Commercial Vehicles range are available for short and long term periods and are grouped into six categories.

These include:

• Group B – Available within four working hours these vans include the Ford Connect and the VW Caddy
