On Monday, the Avis Budget Group announced that customers will now be able to use Visa Checkout as a payment option for Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental purchases.
By allowing customers to use Visa Checkout, travelers renting from Avis or Budget will now have an easier and secure payment option when they make reservations in advance. The service is available on the rental car websites and the mobile apps.
"Customers are increasingly adopting different payments options as evidenced by Visa Checkout's more than 17 million consumer accounts," Avis Budget Group executive vice president Scott Deaver. "We're excited to work with Visa and offer Avis and Budget customers another streamlined and convenient way to pay-and save when renting from our trusted brands."
