Avis Car Rental Opens in Vietnam

Avis has become one of the first global car rental brands to operate in Vietnam. Avis Vietnam offers business and leisure customers the full spectrum of car rental, car leasing and chauffeur drive services.

Customers can choose from the latest range of compact, mid to large size, sports and luxury vehicles from popular brands such as Toyota, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Audi and others.

A professionally trained and experienced English speaking local driver is included as part of the car hire.

Avis Vietnam will operate from its main headquarters in Hanoi and plans to open branches in Ho Chi Minh City before the end of 2009 and Danang in 2010.

The company expects its fleet size to grow to over 300 by the end of 2011. Partnership tie-ups are also currently being established with major hotels and airlines to create a network of seamless travel experiences.

“The decision to set up operations in Vietnam was due to overwhelming demand from our corporate and leisure customers around the world and the fact that it was one of the last countries where Avis was not present yet,” said Eric Brun, General Manager of Avis in Asia. “We believe that Avis Vietnam has great potential to grow in a fairly new industry in this country.”
