Avis Offers Vehicle Rental Discounts to ASA Members

BEDFORD, TEXAS, September 27, 2007 - The Automotive Service Association (ASA) announces a new member benefit agreement with Avis that allows members convenient access to money-saving coupons on top of special weekend, weekly and monthly rates.

Avis has created a special Web page for ASA members, enhancing the convenience of making reservations, finding rental locations, acquiring maps and driving directions, and other travel tools.
