Avis Car Rental has selected a licensee to launch car rental
operations in Laos and Cambodia. Avis Car Rental will officially enter
both markets with the opening of airport and city facilities in Luang
Prabang, Pakse and Vientiane in Laos; and Phnom Penh and Siam Reap in
Cambodia.
“Strengthening our global position remains a high priority as we
seek to drive sustained, profitable growth,” said Patric Siniscalchi,
president, Latin America/Asia-Pacific, Avis Budget Group. “Our licensee
agreement with RMA Group will allow us to expand our global footprint
and help to ensure that we are well-positioned to realize the growth
potential of the Avis brand in each country.”
The new Avis facilities will serve local and international customers
with a “one-stop” mobility solution. Residents and visitors will
benefit from Avis’ world-class products and services, including a wide
range of well-maintained, late-model vehicles, short- and long-term
rentals, personal and corporate car leasing programs, premium chauffeur
and transfer services and outstanding customer service. Customers will
be able to book reservations at http://www.avis.com over the course of
this month as locations open.
“RMA is uniquely positioned to facilitate Avis Car Rental’s plan for
growth,” Kevin Whitcraft, chief executive officer, RMA Group. “We have
long-established vehicle sales and distribution infrastructures in
Cambodia and Laos, and we are the partner of choice to some of the
world’s largest retail franchises in the Asia-Pacific region. RMA is
ready to support the enhancement of Avis’ global position as a leader in
its sector, and will do so by providing best-in-class service in these
two countries.”
Avis’ legacy in Asia can be traced back to 1970, when the Company
opened its first location in Hong Kong. Operations in Singapore, the
Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan followed. Operations have
grown steadily throughout the region ever since, including Avis’ leading
presence in China, which began in 2002. Avis now has approximately 300
rental locations in Asia.
