Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) today announced that Avis Car
Rental and Budget Car Rental have once again been selected as
Qantas Frequent Flyer’s exclusive points-earning car rental

Qantas Points can also be redeemed for Avis and Budget rentals
within Australia and New Zealand.
“We’re thrilled to renew this agreement to continue to offer
Qantas Frequent Flyers the opportunity to both earn and use Qantas
Points on car hire,” said Mark Servodidio, president,
International, Avis Budget Group. “It will help us continue to
attract new customers and generate incremental reservations from
Qantas’ loyal customer base.”
“With this agreement, Qantas Frequent Flyer members have
continued benefits with Avis and Budget,” said Lesley Grant, chief
executive officer, Qantas Loyalty. “Members will also enjoy an
increased earn rate when hiring a car.”
Avis Car Rental, a brand ranked number one in customer loyalty
for 16 consecutive years, and Budget Car Rental, an award-winning
value brand, debuted as Qantas Frequent Flyer car rental partners
in 2002.
