Avis Announces Coach Charter Acquisition

Avis Rent a Car has announced the acquisition of the Avis Coach Charter operation as a corporate business, effective from October 2011.

The coach charter company started as a licensee operation in 2008. Avis Southern Africa Chief Executive, Keith Rankin, says “Avis Rent a Car now owns 75% of the company, with former licensee Nobbie Marais owning the remaining 25%.”

Marais, who has 28 years of experience in the business, will remain on board as general manager of Avis Coach Charter. Rankin says with the Coach Charter operation being a strategic part of Avis’ Total Transport Solution, the car rental company decided to purchase a shareholding in the organisation with a view to facilitating growth and taking service delivery to a new level.
