Supplier Testimonials

Betty Lau, Chief Executive Officer, Appliedinfo Partners, Inc.

"Appliedinfo Partners, Inc. has enjoyed a lasting and successful partnership with Avis Budget Group since 1998. Avis Budget Group has been providing AIP with many opportunities to supply its two brands from the very beginning. Avis was among the first companies to implement AIP's DivTRAK software for Diversity Supplier Management that is now hosted by AIP.

"Our D2 Creative business unit has worked closely with Avis Budget Group on several successful projects including the "Budget Means Business," presentation for corporate customers and travel partners. We recently launched a similar program for Avis. Our D2 business unit has also partnered with Avis Budget Group to educate and train employees about Avis Access, the company's program for customers with disabilities. Currently, D2 has been asked to produce two video presentations for Avis Budget Group: an investor-oriented "Day-In-The-Life" program and an internal announcement presentation regarding the company's new corporate structure. D2 was also requested to provide services to facilitate Avis Budget's support of the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC)."

Ernest Gonzalez, President Captree Puretech

As a minority owned company, CPS faces many challenges while attempting to grow our business. When we started our business we were strictly limited to servicing customers in the northeast. The Avis Budget Group has given us the opportunity to expand our business by allowing us to develop key strategic partners so we may offer our products and services on a national level. We have been servicing the Avis Budget Group for over five years now, which only demonstrates their continued commitment to minority and woman owned businesses.

Ben Jones, President, Lightning Supply Inc.

Being a relatively new approved DBE/MBE supplier to the Avis Budget Group, we have been thoroughly impressed on how professional and helpful your corporate and field staff continually demonstrates. It is truly inspirational to us that the Avis Budget Group is committed to working with DBE/MBE entities such as ours. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial business relationship with Avis Budget.

Liz McKinley, President & Owner, Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc.

"Bidding fuel supply to one of the world's largest travel industry providers was nothing less than intimidating. However, Avis Budget Group's "Diversity Initiatives" are not just words on their web page but truly are the focus of all Avis Budget Group employees, particularly the personnel in Field Operations and the Procurement Services Departments.

"All of us at Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc. are very grateful for the opportunity and for the successful, mutually beneficial relationship we have enjoyed for many years with Avis Budget Group."

Julie Levi, President, Progressive Promotions, Inc.

"Progressive Promotions, Inc. and Avis Budget Group are truly a winning team.

Before calling on them, Progressive Promotions, Inc. thoroughly researched Avis Budget Group as we do with every prospective client. We wanted to know about their customers, their brands, and their long-term value proposition in order to know what kinds of promotional gifts would add value to the mix. I made sure that Progressive Promotions, Inc. (a certified woman-own company) would be more than just another vendor to this company, but rather would add huge enduring value.

And we did. Once we understood their challenges, our Account Team presented a winning promotional products Webstore that helped Avis Budget Group reduce their costs, maintain brand integrity, keep accurate track of their budgets, streamline the buying process and reduce their inventory.

We are proud to be a partner with Avis Budget Group. We work everyday to make their promotional products experience fun and easy. The Account Team is there for them to innovate award winning solutions that will help Avis Budget Group increase their sales, hire more employees, retain the ones they have, build brand recognition and more!!"
