The Avis "License to Sell" program offers travel agents cash rewards and higher commissions for enrolling their small and mid-sized business clients into the Avis "Corporate Awards" rate program. The benefits agencies will receive for enrolling small business clients include: 10% commission, a free rental day coupon and $25.00 for every new small business account that is enrolled. Now through November 30, Avis is doubling the reward to $50.00 for each new account enrolled. All reward payments are made after the new account completes its first rental. The 10% commission doubles the standard 5% commission and is paid on rentals booked during the account's first year of participation in the program.

Enrollment in the Avis "Corporate Awards" program is free and offers small and mid-sized business accounts a host of attractive benefits which include low corporate rates, free rental days, a special toll-free service number and free Avis Preferred (r) service.

"At Avis we're committed to delivering programs that offer enhanced benefits to travel professionals. With the 'Double Rewards' promotion, everyone wins," says Gerard Quirk, vice president, global travel sales and marketing for Avis. "Travel agencies profit from the 'License to Sell' program and their clients benefit from the 'Corporate Awards' plan." 

Travel agents can enroll their clients by calling 1-800-222-2847, by accessing Avis keyword "CORP" in GDS systems, or by visiting avisagent.com (Avis' dedicated travel agent website). Complete details on the benefits of the Avis "License to Sell" program can be found on avisagent.com.
