Avis celebrates 30 years of activity in Romania

Avis, a global transportation provider, is celebrating 30 years of activity in providing rent-a-car services to customers in Romania and being a witness and top contributor to the significant changes in the local market.

Over the past three decades, an increasing number of people have shown interest in car rental services and the car rental industry continues to have a significant growth potential in the local market since only 10% of the eligible population of Romania have experienced the advantages of renting a car at least once.

“Since its establishment in Romania in 1994, Avis has been at the forefront of the car rental industry, witnessing the transformative journey of the market. Initially, car rental services were primarily used by foreign citizens visiting the country. However, there has been a notable shift in recent years, with more individuals and businesses within Romania recognizing the benefits and convenience of renting a car. We are happy to say that there is still untapped potential in the market and people are becoming more aware of the flexibility, affordability, and convenience that car rental services offer”, stated Adrian Hălmăgean, General Manager of Avis România.

Based on the information gathered in a recent local market research undertaken by Avis, currently, most Romanians travel for recreational purposes (leisure, 46%), but also business (37%) and travel to the rental car pick-up location by personal car or by plane.

90% of Romanians who travel within the country declared that they never rent a car, while 68% of those who travel abroad never rent a car.
