Avis in Asia has again been awarded as “Asia’s Leading Car Hire” company at the regional World Travel Awards ceremony this year.

The World Travel Awards is a prestigious organization of travel professionals around the world that recognizes excellent customer service in the international travel and tourism industry.

Avis at the awards was named Europe's Leading Business Car Rental Company, Asia’s Leading Car Hire Company, Africa’s Leading Business Car Rental Company, Indian Ocean’s Leading Car Rental Company and Egypt’s Leading Car Rental Company. The awarding ceremony was recently held at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

This is the sixth consecutive year that Avis Asia has brought home the “Asia’s Leading Car Hire” accolade from the esteemed institution. Avis has been honored as the top car rental company in Asia since 2006 for its excellent delivery of customer service and reliability amidst tight and growing competition in the industry.

Speaking about the awards Mr Sunil Gupta, CEO, Avis India, said, “Providing a high quality service on an odd occasion may be possible for some other operators but the real differentiator for Avis is that it does this consistently, time after time, across all 17 cities and from all 39 locations that we operate in. An Avis customer is getting into an Avis car somewhere in India once every 45 seconds. Providing a consistently high service on each of these occasions demands an investment in people and technology, which we have been doing consistently. Receiving these awards for the sixth year in a row proves that our constant endeavor to understand customer needs and invest in processes to meet these needs has proved successful. This is really a proud moment for us”.
