Founded back in 1948 with three cars at Willow Run Airport, Ypsilanti, Michigan, by Warren Avis, the company has successfully been running since years. Within the next few years, it established branch operations across the United States, becoming the second largest car rental company in the country by 1953. On its tenth anniversary in 1956 it had opened its first international offices in Europe, Canada and Mexico. Since the late 1970s, Avis has featured mainly General Motors (GM) vehicles such as Chevrolet and Cadillac, but today also rents popular non-GM brands including Ford and Toyota.
Avis is a leading rental car provider to the commercial segment which is serving business travelers at major airports around the world, and to leisure travelers at off-airport locations.
