Avis Enhances Airline Flight Tracking System, Expanding Service to All Domestic Airports

    GARDEN CITY, N.Y., June 25 -- Adding another technology
"first" in the car rental industry, Avis Rent A Car, Inc. today
announced that it has enhanced its Preferred customer flight arrival program
at almost 200 domestic airport locations by incorporating real-time flight
tracking data from FlightView(R) into its Wizard of Avis system.
    FlightView, a state-of-the-art product of RLM Software, tracks airline
flight status and provides Avis with accurate flight arrival times for all
airlines arriving at United States airport locations.  This capability
enhances Avis' Preferred customer program, guaranteeing rental documents and
cars are ready when customers arrive -- no matter if flights are early or
delayed.  Previously, Avis processed Preferred customer rentals based on
real-time flight arrival data and offered FlightCheck departure status and
gate information at 19 domestic airport locations.
    F. Robert Salerno, Avis' President and Chief Operating Officer, said, "By
automating flight time information to all Avis domestic airport locations,
we've enhanced fleet efficiencies to enable us to better meet our customers'
needs.  This ensures cars are available and car rental spaces are turned over
quickly.  In addition, Avis agents who previously tracked flight arrivals and
generated rental documents manually, are now free to focus on activities that
will further enhance the customer's rental experience."
    Avis has long held a leadership position in introducing new technology to
enhance the car renting process for customers.  In 1995, Avis introduced the
first use of satellite guidance system devices in rental cars.  In 1997, Avis
introduced Roving Rapid Return, a hand held device enabling customers to
return their cars and receive a printed receipt in less than a minute.  In
1972, Avis introduced the ground breaking Wizard Computer System, the first
on-line, real-time rental and reservation system in the industry.
    The Avis Preferred Renter Program, introduced in 1989, is a service that
allows customers to bypass the rental counter and go directly to their car at
over 900 locations worldwide.  The Program adds a new level of speed and
convenience to business and personal car rentals.  Call Avis toll free at
800-525-7530 to enroll in the Preferred Renter Program.
    Avis Rent A Car, Inc., with locations in the United States, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, is
one of the leading car rental companies in the world.  Annually, the Company
completes approximately 15 million rental transactions with a fleet averaging
approximately 200,000 vehicles, generating over $2.2 billion in total revenue.
