Avis was founded by William Avis in the United States in 1946, and its first car hire outlet — at Willow Run Airport in Detroit — was the first airport car hire depot in the world. While Australian entrepreneur Eric McIllree eventually negotiated a deal with Avis for the rights to the name, he commenced operating under the name in 1955 with FJ Holdens stationed at six Australian airports. At the time, McIllree had the sole concession for car hire at airports, and by 1971 he had rented one million vehicles.
Today Avis has over 200 rental locations across Australia, including at all major airports and city centres. From these locations, Avis rents over a dozen types of vehicle including compact cars, standard cars, full size cars, and 4WDs, along with a selection of specialty vehicles, such as hybrid and luxury cars. Aside from cars, Avis also rents utes, vans, trucks and buses.
As Avis and Budget share the same owner, at airports you may find the two rental agents working side by side or even sharing the same desk. If you’re looking for the Avis desk but can’t find them, look for the Budget desk.
