Avis Budget Group and Etihad Aviation Group have announced a new, global partnership which sees Avis Budget Group become the exclusive car rental provider for Etihad Airways.

The partnership which gives Etihad Airways guests a seamless travel experience door to door, also covers Etihad Holidays and Etihad Guest, the airlines loyalty programme.

The partnership will see Avis, Budget, Maggiore and Zipcar brands offered on Etihad booking channels. Etihad Guest members will benefit from the Avis Preferred programme and an improved earning proposition.

As well as offering deals on Avis Budget Group car rentals, the group will also be looking at tri-party campaigns with hotels, tourist boards and credit cards.

To celebrate the new partnership, Etihad Guest and Avis Budget are offering Etihad Guest members the chance to win flights for two, with Etihad Airways anywhere across the Etihad network - plus 7 days car rental.

To be eligible for this offer, members need to book a car rental before 30 April 2019.
