Gurugram, Delhi, August 2, 2016, /India PRwire/ — Avis India, India’s leading mobility solutions provider has introduced a partner program for travel agents and travel management companies (TMCs). With this program travel agents and travel management companies can now offer self-drive car rentals in over 168 countries worldwide to their customers travelling for business or leisure, from India.

This serves as a great business opportunity for travel agents, tour operators and TMCs who can now sell self-drive car rentals to their customers.

There is a rapidly growing desire for Indians to use self- drive cars while travelling abroad and so we plan to engage with travel agents, tour operator and travel management companies who have a strong focus on outbound travel. Incremental revenues and commission earnings for our travel trade partners and an increase in self- drive business from India for Avis countries worldwide will prove to be a win-win situation for all.
