EAST LONDON– Advanced Vehicle Identification System (AVIS) Car Rental has officially kicked off its summer activation campaign at King Phalo Airport, East London on 04 December 2025 offering festive‑season travellers safe, reliable and well‑maintained vehicles as holiday travel begins to peak.
The seasonal campaign is designed to support the high volume of people travelling across the country for December celebrations, with Avis highlighting the quality, dependability and safety standards that underpin its rental fleet.
Operating from Southernwood in East London as well as through its online platform, Avis continues to expand its digital footprint. The company has also rolled out a digital branch in Johannesburg, making bookings and vehicle purchases easier for customers nationwide. Dealerships buying in bulk make use of a restricted auction platform, while individual customers can purchase vehicles directly through cash or bank financing.In cases where rental vehicles are damaged, panel beaters provide repair quotes, after which Avis selects the most affordable option.
Customers are required to pay only their predetermined liability fee irrespective of the total repair cost. If a third party is responsible for the accident, Avis recovers the funds from their insurer and reimburses the affected customer once payment is finalised.
Furthmore Avis General Manager for Marketing Anda Peter, encouraged travellers to choose Avis as their trusted partner this holiday season. “We are saying to everyone who needs to hire a car this festive season, come to Avis.
