Avis added to Galileo Leisure
Galileo Leisure has added Avis Europe as its third car rental supplier.
Avis joins Alamo and Europcar as participants in the portal, doubling the number of car pick-up locations and cities available.
More than 3,200 travel agents are using the portal, developed by Cendant companies Galileo and gta and launched last November.
Galileo Leisure allows agents to book car hire in over 7,000 locations, in 1,880 cities, in 57 countries worldwide.
The car content is delivered in a simple interface with only three main categories, enabling agents to book quickly and easily. The system provides automatic selection of the lowest available rate from multiple suppliers.
Gta produces driving tips for all countries where rental is offered, including driving regulations (speed limits, seat belts, parking); details on general road conditions and tolls advice; documentation required; fuel type for each car; plus information on fines and penalties.
