Children Receive Bike Safety Information and a Coupon for a Free Bike Helmet

PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 12 -- As travelers take to the roads this summer for vacation, Avis is asking its customers to make safety a priority of their trip with its new summer travel promotion. Beginning today, Avis will be distributing copies of the Family Safety Travel Guide that includes tips on passenger and vehicle safety, plus family friendly in-car activities and games. And, because it's never too early to learn the importance of vehicle safety, the new brochure provides children with bike safety information, peel-n-stick bike reflectors and safety-themed temporary tattoos. Avis has also included a coupon for $10.00 off a Bell(R) toddler or child bicycle helmet or helmet set, redeemable nationwide at Toys R US(R). Bell helmets and helmet sets are priced at $9.99 and up. The new program is part of the Avis Cares(R) suite of services that strive to make travel safer and stress-free for every customer.

"This is a winning promotion for both parents and their children. Parents receive the benefit of safety information that they can really use when traveling and kids can get a free bike helmet, " said Scott Deaver, executive vice president of marketing for Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, parent company of Avis. "This is one more way that Avis is showing their commitment to offering programs that make vehicle and passenger safety a priority of every trip."

To take advantage of this offer, customers need to visit a participating Avis airport location and obtain a copy of the Avis Family Safety Travel Guide. The coupon for the free bike helmet may be redeemed until October 31, 2006 at Toys R Us locations nationwide. Customers that use the coupon for the $9.99 helmet will receive the helmet free of charge and will only be responsible for applicable sales tax.
