Avis Airport car rentals
"We Try Harder" — solid mid-tier inventory and reliable airport coverage.
Avis operates an airport counter at every major US airport in our database. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey, it competes primarily on fleet quality and loyalty perks. Across the 500 US airports we track, the median daily rate for a Avis rental is roughly $84, with cheaper rates clustering in inland markets and higher rates in Hawaii, coastal California, and resort destinations.

How to get the best rate
The single biggest lever on Avis rates is booking timing: prices typically dip at 21–28 days out and rise sharply inside 7 days. The second biggest lever is vehicle class — at most airports, an SUV is 50–80% more per day than a midsize sedan, so don't book up unless you actually need the cargo space. Loyalty members can also call the counter the morning of pickup and ask if a free upgrade is available; if the requested class is sold out, you'll often get a free bump to the next class up. Our deeper booking-timing analysis covers seasonal and day-of-week patterns.
