Exclusive offers for BA Executive Club Members

Avis Europe, a leading car rental company in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and British Airways Executive Club, the airline’s frequent flyer programme, have announced the extension of their strategic partnership for a further three years.

Avis and British Airways (BA) will continue to work together to enhance their customers’ travel experience and deliver a host of customised benefits to Executive Club members.

Avis will continue to provide BA Executive Club members with a diverse range of services, to include:

Up to 750 BA Miles when renting with Avis
750 BA Miles on UK Prestige* rentals when booked on avisba.com
A free car upgrade globally with every rental (subject to availability)
Up to 15% off Avis international rates for Silver and Gold members
Up to 10% off Avis international rates for Blue members

There are further enhancements to the Avis offering following the launch of its ‘Inspired Change’ programme of continuous improvement in early 2006. These include a new, clearer Rental Agreement; a Rapid Return process that allows the vehicle to be returned in just one minute; greater availability of Satellite Navigation services throughout the Avis Europe network, and the introduction of Fuel Up Front, a convenient and cost efficient pre-pay refueling option, available at key airport locations.

“The renewed contract with British Airways is extremely positive news. Our partnership will continue to offer extensive benefits to our mutual customers,” says Simon Palethorpe, Group Commercial Director, Avis Europe. “In addition, Avis will be offering a fantastic partnership re-launch promotion in January 2007, when we will be giving millions of bonus BA Miles to our British Airways Partnership customers.”

Tiffany Hall, Head of Marketing and Distribution, British Airways says: “Avis has provided our Executive Club members with an excellent service over the past ten years and we are very pleased that this partnership will continue. The renewed partnership will offer further advantages to our Executive Club members through the new service initiatives Avis has introduced over the past year.”

Taking advantage of this unique partnership service is easy. The dedicated partnership website, avisba.com, offers BA Executive Club members a ‘one-stop-shop’ with fast, efficient and straight-forward car rental through its reservation system, which also provides country driving guides and route-mapping. Executive Club members can also call the dedicated reservation line in the UK on 0844 581 0124.
