Avis Car Rental was recently honoured as “World’s Leading Car Hire” at the 2013 World Travel Awards Grand Final. 

The World Travel Awards celebrates those companies and brands that are pushing the boundaries of industry excellence in products and services.

“It continues to be a great source of pride that our operations are recognized for their high standards of quality and excellence,” said Ronald L. Nelson, chairman and chief executive officer at Avis Budget Group.

“This is wonderful recognition which reflects the significant emphasis we’ve made on improving our systems, our products and our people to be more customer-centric, and all Avis employees around the world can take pride in this honour.”

The World Travel Award titles follow further award success for Avis, which was named “Best Car Hire Company” in three of the UK’s leading travel awards ceremonies this year - the British Travel Awards, the Travel Agents Choice Awards and the Scottish Passenger Agent Association (SPAA), the world’s oldest travel organisation. The brand was also named number one for “Best Car Rental Services” by the Review Authority.
